It is recommended to choose the leisure hiking route to go up the mountain.

Next, walk along the suspended walkway around the mountain to experience the scenery of the so-called Little Yellow Mountain. You will pass through several mine relics along the way.

Daming Mountain is located in the west of Lin'an District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, close to Anhui Province. It belongs to the Huangshan Mountain range, which is why it is called "Little Huangshan Mountain". 🌟Highlights: Daming Mountain is famous for its Steel Great Wall.

With the rolling mountains, waterfalls, and lush greenery, the air is very fresh, and I felt relaxed and happy all the way. Take the Steel Great Wall down the mountain. The scenery along the way is really nice. I basically walked for about 20 minutes and then rested for 10 minutes. Even so, my legs were shaking when I reached the foot of the mountain. This section of the road is not very friendly to the knees. The whole journey is 9 km and takes about 6 hours. In fact, there are many ways to go up and down the mountain.
