【NEW】JAN23-25 Winter Escape - Snowy Summit - Xingmei Peak & Longmen Ancient Town

Xingmei Peak & Longmen Ancient Town

Xingmei Peak is the highest peak in Fuyang District, Hangzhou, with an altitude of approximately 1068 meters, making it the second-highest peak in the Hangzhou area. It is part of the Longmen Mountain range and is a key natural attraction within the "Two Rivers and One Lake" national scenic area.

• Natural Landscape: The mountain is known for its steep cliffs, flying waterfalls, and sea of clouds. A major highlight is the Longmen Waterfall, which is over 100 meters high and a spectacular sight. The terrain includes stone steps, earth paths, and gravel trails, leading through lush forests and past mountain streams.
• Hiking Experience: It is a popular destination for hiking enthusiasts. A classic circuit route starts from Yaowu or Yao Village, passes the waterfall and the emerald-green reservoir at Xingmeiwu, and culminates at the summit, which offers panoramic views.
• The full circuit is about 13km with about 1100m elevations; The area is particularly beautiful in winter when snow and rime ice adorn the landscape.

### Longmen Ancient Town

Located at the foot of Longmen Mountain, Longmen Ancient Town is a well-preserved historical town with a deep cultural heritage dating back over a thousand years. It is famously known as the ancestral home of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of the Eastern Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period.

• Cultural & Architectural Heritage: An astounding 90% of the town's residents are surnamed Sun and are considered descendants of Sun Quan
  . The town is a maze of Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, featuring over 40 ancient ancestral halls, temples, and residential buildings connected by cobblestone streets and lanes. This layout was designed for defense and can be confusing to navigate, leading to the local saying that one can "walk through the entire village on a rainy day without getting shoes wet".
