EAST MOUNTAIN,SUZHOU
1 Day—HIKING ADVENTURE
EAST MOUNTAIN
Why spend your day stuck in the confines of Shanghai when you can join BOHDI® for a quick 2 hour hike at the nearby Nature Reserve of East Mountain in Suzhou! Here you have it all: excellent hike, stunning views and cultural immersion!
ADVENTURE DESCRIPTION
We begin with a flat warm-up along the lakeside villages and a quick stop at a local temple. Then, when you least expect it, we veer from the main road and begin our climb on a rocky fire access road from the peaceful valley to the summit 300m above the lake. A short walk from the road to the temple on top of the mountain rewards your persistence with the finest views of Lake TaiHu. The descent is fast and fun and lands us back where we began. This hike is geared towards more advanced riders that are looking for a spectacular ride and a good workout!
POINTS OF INTERESTS
- Tons of fruit trees ripe for the plucking (seasonal)
- A bird’s-eye view of Lake TaiHu
- A mountain top temple that straddles the peak
