| Hidden beauty in time. Zhenjiang Dagang | Hidden beauty in time Strolling through the streets and alleys of Zhenjiang Dagang, traces of time can be seen everywhere. The old streets and ancient buildings exude a tranquil and distant atmosphere. I stayed at Zhenjiang Dagang Chengmei Homestay, where the warm and elegant environment made me feel relaxed. The rooms are exquisitely decorated, the view outside the window is pleasant, and the facilities are thoughtful, giving me the comfort of home. I went to Chou Mountain, climbed the mountain, and enjoyed the river view. The magnificence and tranquility of nature made me feel relaxed and happy. The local snacks are also unique, allowing me to experience the unique charm of Dagang from the tip of my tongue. Every frame is an exclusive memory of me and Dagang.

Many people don’t know that there is a small Wugong Mountain hidden in Jiangsu Province, and many people can’t even pronounce its name. The mountains here are not high, but climbing is easy. The scenery here is beautiful, and from certain angles on the top of the mountain it looks very much like Wugong Mountain. It is a great place to climb the mountain and enjoy the sunrise. This is Chui Mountain located in Zhenjiang. The mountain is not high, with an altitude of only 258 meters. However, with its steep cliffs overlooking the river, it is a famous mountain with distinctive features and dangerous terrain in the Jiangnan region. If you want to go hiking in Chui Mountain, you can save this energy-saving guide to hiking and watching the sunrise. Since we are traveling at night, we will definitely drive ourselves. You can use the map to navigate directly to Zhenjiang Jile Zen Temple. It is relatively easy to enter the mountain from this location. The whole route is a wooden plank road, so climbing is relatively easy. When you arrive at the Jile Zen Temple, you can park your car on the left side of the entrance. There are parking spaces but not many. When you see the sign for entering the mountain, turn right and you will find the trailhead. Then just follow the signposts. If you have good stamina, you can reach the observation deck in 40 minutes. On the viewing platform, you can easily capture the feeling of Wugong Mountain. Of course, if you can see the sunrise like me, it will be worth the trip. Climb up more than 600 steps and you will reach the Baoen Pagoda. From the top of the mountain you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent Yangtze River. Of course, if you don’t have enough energy, you can go down the mountain directly. If you can't go to Wugong Mountain, come and climb this small Wugong Mountain in Jiangsu! Of course, friends from outside Jiangsu Province should not be surprised. After all, being able to climb mountains in Jiangsu is a rare thing. So don’t worry about whether a mountain over 200 meters high is a mountain!

One will stand at the very top and look down upon all the other mountains as if they were small. Spring is the perfect time to invite a few good friends 👯 or take your family out for a walk in the greenery and climb the mountains 🧗. Today, I recommend to you Chui Mountain in Zhenjiang. Inside the Chui Mountain Scenic Area, you can rest in a motorhome, play some entertainment facilities, have a barbecue, and of course, if you're hungry 🤤, there are also many snacks available. As for the prices, we did not make any purchases at the time. To reach the top of Chui Mountain, you need to climb 1200 steps and a long slope. There is another path that is gentler and has beautiful scenery, but it requires a longer walk. After reaching the top, you can pray 🙏 or enjoy the endless views, feeling the landscape right beneath your feet. Those who are intrigued should go and experience it for a different feeling.

Time: March 2024, Raven is six years old Mountain The spring is bright and beautiful, it is a good time to go hiking and do outdoor activities! Invite three or five friends, put on your windbreakers, and prepare water and snacks for the journey. 🅿️Please navigate to the parking lot: Tuju Zhenjiang Mountain Campground - Ground Parking Lot 💰It cost 5 yuan for parking for four hours, which is quite good. It is recommended to arrive before 10 am. If you arrive late, you will have to queue. However, the parking lot is large and the traffic flow is fast, so there is usually no shortage of space. The mountain is free to climb. There are two ways to go up and down the mountain: 1. Wooden plank road (gentle slope, up and down, long distance) 2. Stone steps (1200 steps, steep slope, short straight distance) We all brought our children with us, so we chose the plank road up the mountain and the stone steps down the mountain, which is suitable for parent-child routes. Turn right from the parking lot exit, then turn left at the intersection and walk along the river. After about a few hundred meters you will see the entrance to the wooden plank road. Walk and pat along the way, and climb up in one go! Upward 👆 welcome the spring and be positive! When I went to Baoen Temple, I saw many vendors selling food, drinks and toys on the mountain. When walking down the stone steps, be careful to be steady and lean back. It is best to hold the hand of your child. Climbing for a long time will easily make your legs weak and you may fall. A relatively comfortable route for a spring hiking trip, the total time is 3-3.5 hours.
