An 11-kilometer small loop trail, with the Xijiang River rushing beneath your feet, bamboo forests swaying in the wind, every step is a visual feast~This super detailed guide is recommended to bookmark first!” ———————————— 🗺️【Route Details】 📍Entrance Location: East Entrance of Lingyang Gorge Ancient Trail, Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing (with parking lot and restrooms) ⏰Hiking Duration: 6 hours (11 kilometers) 🚶‍♀️Route Features: Half wild trail with ups and downs, half bluestone path + wooden boardwalk. The uphill section is a bit difficult, you will see mansions, be careful to avoid them. Then the ridge line is easy to walk and the scenery is stunning.
