Jiang Gong Ancient Trail | Unlock the Limited Autumn Beauty of Mogan Mountain in 5 Hours

Don't miss a single beautiful autumn weekend with good weather. A 5-hour immersive hike on the Jiang Gong Ancient Trail, unlocking the exclusive autumn beauty of Mogan Mountain; 【Summary first】: 🍁 If you want to stretch your muscles, feel nature, and take some beautiful photos, I recommend hiking the Jiang Gong Ancient Trail; (10KM, walking with stops for photos takes about 5-6 hours) 🍁 If you want beautiful and comfortable photos with red maples, I recommend taking the sightseeing bus; Although the Jiang Gong Ancient Trail is beginner-level, walking up and down the mountain is not easy for office workers who don’t exercise regularly. Light packing and some mental preparation are needed; 📍【Hiking Route】: 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️ Yucun → Mogaowu → Naked Heart Castle → Mogan Mountain Scenic Area Stone Inscription → Luhuadang → Guwangwutai → Jianchi → Jiaohuapo → Yucun 🏃🏻‍♀️ ①【Yucun → Mogaowu → Naked Heart Castle → Mogan Mountain Scenic Area Stone Inscription】: Uphill route, stone steps climbing, easy to walk but tiring; accompanied by bamboo forest along the way, nice scenery; ②【Mogan Mountain Scenic Area Stone Inscription → Luhuadang → Guwangwutai → Jianchi】: Entering the scenic area, flat and easy to walk, beautiful red maples are here but hard to find, it’s recommended to mark them on your navigation in advance. 🍁🍁 Recommended red maple spots: Villa No. 410, Villa No. 48, Villa No. 92, Villa No. 62 (requires purchase to enter), Luhuadang Park ③【Jianchi → Jiaohuapo → Yucun】: Downhill route, half steps and half dirt road, very difficult to walk!! Jiaohuapo is really slippery! Knees get tired, be cautious on rainy days!! TIPS: 1. This trail indeed has no entrance fee, but the level of fatigue makes me feel it should be free to encourage everyone to exercise; 2. The downhill route is really hard to walk, friends who like taking photos can spend more time inside the scenic area, then take the scenic shuttle bus down from “Yinshan Street” (last bus at 16:30); 3. The “Goldfish Mama” in Yucun is really popular on weekends, if you want to eat there, be sure to get a “Delicious No Waiting” number in advance; 4. Parking is available at Yucun P3 and P4, and also in villagers’ yards, usually 20 yuan/day; Autumn in Mogan Mountain is really worth a visit, stepping on fallen leaves and admiring the red maples, so comfortable and lovely～💕
