Hiking can truly heal the soul, so hurry up and copy this parent-child hiking route to the ceiling

Route: Lutz Village - Take a taxi to Shishe Village - Maoping Village - Baibu Street - Xiekengkou Village - Back to Lutz Village, about 12km in total 【First Section Shishe Village】 1. It's hard to hail a taxi, it took half an hour to find one... If you really can't find one, there's a bus every half hour 2. The shops in Shishe Village are quite interesting, like the 'Panic Yarn' store. Many people recommend staying in Shishe, but I didn't see many guesthouses actually 3. The most beautiful view of Shishe Village is at the beginning of the ancient trail, where you can see the panoramic view of the village and the S-shaped river, surrounded by green mountains and waters – it's simply wonderful~ 【Second Section Maoping Village】 1. The signs on the ancient trail in Maoping Village are not very clear, we felt something was wrong and took a wild path down the mountain into the village halfway. The villagers said the ancient trail stops here for a while, and the second half continues from the bottom of the mountain 2. There's a small market in the village center square, bought a bottle of beef sauce which tasted good, zongzi and fermented rice dumplings were also delicious (probably because we were hungry, there seems to be no restaurants in the village 3. There's a beautiful ancient bridge, and under the bridge, there's even a 'Bridge Hole Coffee' hidden, you have to admire the owner's creativity! On both sides of the bridge hole, it's like a barbecue camp, several tables of people are enjoying their drinks, under the green trees, over the green river, with a breeze blowing, it's just too comfortable~ 【Third Section Baibu Street】 The new section of the ancient trail, from the mountains to the fields, passing through large farmlands, comes to Baibu Street Pavilion, next to it is a thousand-year-old camphor tree, which commands respect 【Fourth Section Xiekengkou Village】 Walking forward to the main road, following the steps of a teahouse down, there's a half-moon-shaped dam, you can walk across, but your shoes might get a bit wet in the middle. The shore is a bit slippery, be very careful! We witnessed a boy falling into the water, it wasn't deep and not dangerous, but it was really embarrassing.. 【Fifth Section Lutz Village】 1. On the way from Xiekengkou to Lutz, we crossed another green mountain and a maple forest, and met a sexy little wild cat rubbing against our legs, couldn't help but stroke it a few times 2. Finally, we successfully returned to my great Lutz Village, I thought 12km would be difficult, but after walking and stopping for five or six hours, I didn't feel tired at all 3. Decided to treat myself in the evening, went to the best barbecue restaurant in town recommended by the villagers, local specialties like grilled fish tail and stinky tofu were all good (ate back all the weight I lost today). After eating, went for a foot massage, couldn't find a very formal one so settled for one, but didn't expect to be able to sing karaoke in a foot massage shop haha In the end, I don't know who designed the Malingshan Ancient Trail, but I'm very grateful. From the mountains, fields, waters, to the forests, each section is full of wild fun and surprises. Special praise for the small canal that accompanied us all the way, clear and lively, picked a small flower along the way and put it in the canal, then followed the speed of the flower drifting, and realized that not rushing and walking slowly feels really good
