🏨 Yanbang Ancient Path Shibadu Free attraction 🚉Transportation Guide: Navigate to Qingzhai Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing, free parking. 🌟Highlights: The Yanbang Ancient Path Shibadu hiking loop is located in Xinchang County, Shaoxing. This hiking route is about 13km long and includes the Yanbang Ancient Path and Shibadu. The starting point of the Yanbang Ancient Path is Qingzhai Village. Shibadu is named because the ancient path crosses the stream eighteen times! ❤Recommended Reason: "Yanbang Shibadu" includes Shuixiongdu, Liyudu, Leigongdu, etc., among which the seventeenth crossing, Leigongdu, is a popular spot. This hiking route is scenic, featuring a beautiful and tranquil ancient mountain path, as well as pools and waterfalls for family fun. The route is simple, suitable for families and beginners. 👍Most Recommended: Essential items: non-slip shoes, trekking poles, knee pads, water shoes (slippers are also acceptable), mosquito repellent, etc. 🗓Itinerary: Hiking route: The blogger recorded the route (loop) using the "Two Steps" app, totaling 12.8km, with an accumulated ascent of 546 meters, taking about 5 hours (including play and rest). Specifically: Arrive at Qingzhai Village → Walk straight along the road to the auditorium, head towards the Yanbang Ancient Path → Follow the track → Reach the starting point of the Yanbang Ancient Path → Pass through Ping'an Pavilion and Jiankang Pavilion, arrive at Yan Camping Park. From the left side path of Yan Camping Park → Head towards Lijiaxi → Arrive at Lijiaxi Village, head to Shibadu → Pass through Liyudu, Niupingdu, Julongdu, Luhuadu, Taohuadu, Niubodu, Puti Crossing, Wuyundu, Feishidu, Shuangjiangdu, Xiangtandu, Yangjiaodu, Leigongdu, Hongyandu. Before reaching Hongyandu, turn left up the mountain → After a painful ascent to the top, continue down → Arrive at Qingzhai Village. 📝Attention Tips: This route is generally leisurely and not very tiring, with few intersections, making it very suitable for families. There are two ascents. The first is the initial Yanbang Ancient Path, with a low ascent intensity, quickly reaching the top (Yan Camping Park), then descending continuously. The second is from Hongyandu to Qingzhai Village, with the first half continuously ascending, about 300 meters, consuming a lot of energy. If children or the elderly find it inconvenient, you can skip the loop and drive directly to Lijiaxi Village to play at Shibadu (no ascent). When walking Shibadu, follow the path downstream, no need to worry about getting lost. Currently, several crossings at Shibadu require wading, so remember to bring water shoes. This route is very suitable for summer play, with shaded ancient paths and cool, clean stream water at Shibadu. After the fourteenth crossing, you can camp, making it a great place to escape the heat. However, there are many mosquitoes, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. This route is mostly stone-paved, so as long as Shibadu is not flooded, it can be hiked even on rainy days. Qingzhai Village, Yan Camping Park, and Lijiaxi Village all have supply points, and there are restrooms along the way, making it very convenient. 🍽Dining Recommendations: After hiking, you can go to the nearby Xinchang County Food Street or Fuhua Road in Shengzhou City to enjoy delicious carb-rich food!
