Wenling hike offers breathtaking coastline panoramas
Local outdoors club Mountain Cat will host a two-day hiking trip to a coastal trail in Zhejiang's Wenling this weekend.
Located in Taizhou City, Wenling has the only coastal cross-country race track on the Chinese mainland, with 60 percent of its greenway facing the sea.
It boasts beautiful mountain ridges, magnificent coastal scenery, and clean beaches, with fishermen's stone houses scattered across the hillside.
There is a trail that is frequently likened to the MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong, which offers a glimpse into breathtaking panorama with the ocean and pristine beaches.
On the first day, the group plans to embark on an 8.9-kilometer trek with a diverse array of pathways ranging from smooth stone steps to wild, challenging trails and mountain ridges.
On the second day, they will do another 8.37-km hike in the morning and make their way to Xiaoruo Village, which is known as one of China's "Most Beautiful Fishing Villages."
The number of participants will be limited to around 15.
