The Huihang Ancient Trail served as a vital trade route between Huizhou and Zhejiang merchants in ancient times, and today it's known as the "Number One Ancient Trail in East China" (though perhaps its reputation is built more on historical and cultural value…). 🚶‍♀️There are two ways to hike the Huihang Ancient Trail: the standard route and the reverse route. I chose the reverse route. The reverse route starts in Lin'an, Hangzhou, and ends in Jixi, Anhui. The total distance is 13 km, with an ascent of over 300 meters and a descent of 800 meters. The trail map is in the last image. The standard route simply reverses the start and end points, resulting in more climbing and less descending, making it a bit more strenuous. ⛰️The highest point of the Huihang Ancient Trail is Lantian'ao, at an altitude of 1,050 meters. It offers expansive views, but unfortunately, it was a bit overcast on the day I went. ⛰️The most scenic part is the Jixi section, which is the last third of the reverse route. The valley is filled with jagged rocks and gurgling springs. Towering mountains flank the narrow plank road that clings to the mountainside. Walking along it, I couldn't help but wonder: Did Hu Xueyan and Zhang Xiaoquan, Huizhou merchants who were born in Huizhou but made their fortunes in Hangzhou, travel along this very path? There's an old Huizhou folk rhyme that says, "At thirteen or fourteen, cast them out into the world." Did those young people also embark on this ancient trail, their hearts filled with hope or fear?

There are two entrances to Hui-Hang: Lin'an in Zhejiang and Jixi in Anhui. If you bring your children, you need to stay overnight halfway and finish the whole journey in two days. So this time, I just did a preliminary exploration. 🌈 After entering the scenic area, there are two roads, one going up the mountain and the other going down the water. At the Shi Cha Ting, the two roads merge into one. Because we needed to return, we chose to go down first and then return on the way up. Later, we found that this was the most suitable, because one side of the road above is a mountain and the other side is a cliff, with basically no railings. When there are many people, it is very dangerous to walk on the outside according to the right-hand rule. We also hit the right spot. 🌈 According to the map, the whole journey is 18km. We walked to Huang Maopu, 5km one way, 10km round trip. For my sister who is not yet 5 years old, it is already a big breakthrough. Before, it was 7-8km. The scenery along the way is really beautiful and spectacular. 🦄 🌈 Because it is a scenic area, there is no such thing as getting lost. There are many people, and there are supply points everywhere. You don't need to bring too much stuff. We bought two bamboo poles at the entrance to use as trekking poles, 2 yuan each, very useful.

This ancient trail, which was established during the Tang Dynasty, served as a trade route for merchants from Huizhou and Zhejiang. From Hu Zongxian, Hu Xueyan to Hu Shi, countless notables have left their footprints on these bluestone steps in pursuit of education and business. Tracing back to the millennium-old path of the Tang Dynasty, it combines culture, history, and scenery. The route is moderately difficult and safe, making it a classic must-walk for hikers. With streams and waterfalls, it's also a great summer hiking destination! I've organized the guide for the reverse route this time. Take a look! 📍Navigation: For the reverse route, head to 'Zhechuan Village' (Lin'an, Hangzhou), and for the regular route, go to 'Yonglai Village' (Jixi, Xuancheng). 🅿️Parking: There is a parking lot at the ticket office, but spaces are limited. On weekends and holidays, there are more visitors, so it's recommended to park in the empty spaces in the village. 🪪Ticket: 62 yuan 🚶🏻‍♂️Suitable for: Children over 5 years old, hiking beginners 🏞️Route: Enter from Lin'an, exit from Jixi, the whole journey is 14 kilometers, with a total ascent of 400 meters, fewer uphills, and more downhills (the route is not very intense, friendly for outdoor novices) Journey Experience: 【Yonglai Village - Lantian Ao】: The most climbing and tiring part. The scenery along the way is average. 【Lantian Ao - Xiaxuetang】: Lantian Ao is a high point where you can overlook the entire mountain view, and many people take photos here. After that, it's mostly downhill. Before reaching Xiaxuetang, there is a section with loose stones, so be careful. 【Xiaxuetang - Shichating】: From Xiaxuetang, there is a spacious and flat road, then you need to climb again. At a certain height, you will see different scenery, with streams, reservoirs, and small waterfalls. 【Shichating - Jiangnan's First Pass】: Arriving at the Xiaoyao Valley scenic area, you can see steep steps like a ladder to heaven and a man-made plank road winding around the mountain waist like a dragon in the valley. This part is the most beautiful and a little surprise for the reverse route. 【Jiangnan's First Pass - Exit】: It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the exit. Before reaching Jiangnan's First Pass, there are two paths, left and right. It is recommended to take the left path towards the plank road across the valley, where you can get closer to the waterfall and take better photos. VTips: 1. At the entrance, there are bamboo walking sticks for sale, priced from 2 to 20 yuan, which are quite necessary for beginners. 2. The crossing route is suitable for group tours, as it's not easy to get a car or return. 3. When we arrived at Zhechuan Village, we encountered an old lady who was aggressively selling bamboo poles and raincoats... If you don't buy, she won't let the car go, which is shown in the last picture. 4. It rained on the day we went... it was a bit slippery, so anti-slip shoes are very necessary. Several girls fell. 5. The peak season for the Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Trail is in April and May, when the mountains are full of azaleas and rhododendrons. The Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Trail is quite beautiful, and overall, I had a great time. The most beautiful scenery can only be appreciated with your own eyes. The reverse route also feels very cool and is very suitable for summer hiking. Highly recommended!

Hi, I’m Zhang Mengmeng 🌟The Huihang Ancient Road is not only an ancient passage, but also a bridge connecting the modern and the history, the city and the countryside. This two-day trip made me appreciate China's profound cultural heritage even more. 🚉Transportation strategy: The whole journey is 17 kilometers, and the highest altitude is 1049 meters Stops and attractions along the way: Jiangnan First Pass->Xisi Waterfall->Shicha Pavilion->Huangmao Pei->Xiaxue Hall->Lantianao->Yonglai Village->Zhechuan Village in Zhejiang Province Based on my personal experience, if conditions permit, I strongly recommend crossing from west to east, that is, starting from the entrance of Jiangnan Village. ❤Recommendation reason: First, from the perspective of appreciating the scenery, the main attractions of the Huihang Ancient Road are from Jiangnan Village to Lantianao. This section is all uphill, and the uphill angle is the best angle for appreciating the scenery. The scenery gradually becomes better, and there are constant surprises. ❤The second is to consider from the perspective of protecting the knees. From my personal experience, downhill is generally more harmful to the knees, so it is better to choose a route with a long uphill route. This tourist route combines fitness, spiritual cultivation and tourism. It is a journey of "walking the way, understanding the way and the way of virtue". 📝Note tips: First, climbing mountains and crossing ridges requires a certain amount of physical strength, which serves the purpose of physical exercise. The second is to walk the ancient path, talk with the ancients, reshape the soul, and return to oneself. Third, several scenic spots are stunning and unique in style. 🌟Climbing up along the way with light rain, I looked back occasionally and found that there was a sea of ​​clouds behind me 🌟Arrive at the commanding height of the Huihang Ancient Road - Lantianao, where you will appreciate the stunning natural beauty. The mountains are stacked and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if a magnificent and delicate landscape painting is unfolding before your eyes. ✅Then it’s the way down the mountain. On the way, you can taste the natural fruits and local specialties from the mountain, or share a bowl of mountain noodles in a small shop at the intersection. ❤Not only that, there are countless streams and waterfalls on the way down the mountain, which can help you relieve the boredom of daily work in the midst of the birdsong and flowers of nature. ⏳If the temperature is suitable, you can take off your shoes and step into the clear mountain stream to have an intimate contact with nature 🌟Hiking trips are not only a good way to exercise your body, but also a great opportunity to exchange experiences and deepen relationships with friends. You can also meet more new friends with similar interests. Finally, we ended the day’s journey at the Anhui end of the Huihang Ancient Road and took a bus back to Hangzhou together.

Huihang Ancient Road is located in Fuling Town, Jixi County, Anhui Province. The ancient road was built in Tang Dynasty. It has been more than 1,000 years old and is the third famous ancient road after China's Silk Road and Tea Horse Road. It has been in history. It has produced a huge political, economic and cultural role. At the same time, it is also a corridor that combines natural scenery and mysterious culture. It is the first ancient road in China. We are taking the first section of the Huihang Ancient Road, which is the starting point of the Huihang Ancient Road. The former Huizhou merchants used this road to slowly walk out of Anhui and bring the tea, Huizhou ink and so on to other places, thus gradually growing their own and the popularity of Huizhou merchants. Anhui is still a lot of mountains, large and small, high and low, in Huizhou, many famous villages are at the foot of the mountain, backed by the mountains facing the water, the best Feng Shui treasure. No wonder there have been so many businessmen and celebrities since ancient times. The Huihang ancient road has a long history of Huizhou culture.

A thousand-year-old road that stretches for 75 kilometers. It starts from Huli Village, Linxi Town, Jixi County, southern Anhui Province, and passes through Renli, Wangcun, Weizhou, Longchuan, and Hu Village in Fuling Town. The first pass, Yaoyao Ling, Matouling, and Xuetangling reached the Maxiao Township of Lin'an City in the west of Zhejiang, and passed through the ancient Huizhou and Zhejiang. Throughout the ages, there have been countless Huizhou people, Hu Zongxian Hu Xueyan Hu Shi, etc. They either seek official or business or study, show their talents in the wider world, and make great things that affect China. Since ancient times, the magical and beautiful Huihang Ancient Road is a land of advocacy, politics, and scholarship. There is a saying that the ancient road "sucks the essence of the heavens and the earth" into a dragon.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Huihang ancient road that it has created a beautiful talk about "no emblem, no town, no achievements, no street". For me, this is different from the walk we live on. It is not an extremely fast high-speed railway. It is not a staggered highway. It is not an overpass in the city. It is a mountain road that the ancients came out of. It is ordinary but not ordinary. It carries countless stories and engraves countless history. Today's ancient roads, hiking, training, cycling, rock camping, camping, photography, scientific research, etc. are endless.

The Huihang Ancient Road is an important passage for the trade between Huizhou merchants and Zhejiang merchants in ancient times. It is the third famous ancient road after the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Huihang Ancient Road starts from Yuchuan in Fuling Town, Jixi County, Anhui Province in the west, and Zhejitian in Maxiao Township, Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province in the east. The most intact one is the Panshan Trail in Jixi County, which is about 16 kilometers long. It is the essence of the ancient road and has become a popular walking route, attracting many friends and newcomers. Qinghua Inn is located at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. It climbs for another half an hour. After going through the snowy hall, it reaches a sky with an altitude of 1,050 meters. The blue sky is the watershed and the highest point of the ancient road, but here is where everyone is expected to arrive when they come to this ancient road!

#trip### If you are on the first walk, I still recommend you to come out of Hangzhou from Anhui. Because there is still a lot of uphill from the entrance of Yonglai Village to the blue sky, it may be a little tired when it comes up. So it is recommended to enter from the direction of Anhui. And the first time I recommended to stay on the road for one night, I can live in the snowy hall. Then rest, and the next morning, I will go to the blue sky from the snowy hall. The ancient road of Huixing is worth coming many times.

#trip### Huihang Ancient Road belongs to Jixi of Anhui, one of which belongs to Zhejiang Lin'an. From the Jixi to Lin'an, usually called the front wear; from Lin'an, Jixi out, usually called the reverse wear. Generally speaking, if you are wearing it, there will be several places to stay on the road: one is near the snowy hall, there is a blue sky concave; next to the snowy hall; the blue sky is originally there It is the kind of dormitory, and then a big camp, but now there are renovations, and the conditions are much better.

#trip### Huihang is now a relatively mature route, there are many people going there, there are instructions and inns and villages along the way, basically no road, and the primary line The overall difficulty is not great. If you wear it, there is no need to ask for a guide. In the case of a three-day trip, it is actually quite easy. On the first day, it will not be taken care of in Changhua. The next day, Changhua will take about one and a half hours to the entrance of the ancient road. Get up and start hiking at about 10 o'clock. The whole journey is 20 kilometers. The road through the blue sky is downhill. It can be completed in four or five hours. If you go slower and play on the way, it will be almost six or seven hours. I personally feel that there is no need to live in the mountains.
