Hey, buddies, did you know? Hidden in Anshan Village is a mysterious ancient trail, the Anshan Ancient Trail Central Loop! This 14KM route is quite challenging. Along the way, you'll climb over the Flying Dragon Waterfall, pass through Jianguo Village, ascend to the foot of Yuan Yan Ridge, stroll through Xiaoquanxi Village, and finally return to Anshan Village. Although there are many climbs in the middle section, believe me, it's all worth it. It will take at least 5-7 hours, so families with children should consider carefully before embarking on this trip. You must have heard of the Xinchang Pierced Rock Nineteen Peaks, but when it comes to the Anshan Ancient Trail, that's a whole other story. The trail follows the canyon and along the way, it crosses streams, farmland, tea plantations, stone bridges, suspension bridges, canyons, waterfalls, temples, and ancient villages. Every step is a beautiful scene, and it can be said to be the top route of the Shaoxing hiking trails! Along the way, there's a deep pool, affectionately known as the Swimming Dragon Pool, which is 4-5 meters deep; there's also a Golden Lock Bridge over the stream, built in 1928, which is one of the well-preserved ancient bridges in Xinchang County. Don't forget the fifteen scenic spots such as the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, Six Dragons Snatching the Valley, and the Thousand-Year Bitter Oak waiting for you to explore. Past Jianguo Village, there are waterfalls and the Ten-Mile Sky Ladder waiting for you. This mountain road is like a ladder hanging over the ancient village, climbing step by step up to Changwan, winding for ten miles. The Golden Lock Bridge is particularly striking amidst the surrounding mountains, and with the stream, it's incredibly beautiful. The large creek stones of the Swimming Dragon River are the perfect place for you to play in the water. The Flying Dragon Waterfall is not to be missed either, with its substantial water flow making it super photogenic! However, I must remind everyone that this beautiful ancient trail will soon disappear forever from human sight due to the development of a dam. So, before it vanishes, hurry up and invite your buddies to witness the gifts of nature! Let these beautiful scenes stay in our memories forever.

The Ancient Anshan Trail, once the only way for villagers from Anshan Village, Jianguo Village, and others to enter and exit the mountains, fell into disuse after the new Pan Line highway into the village was built. In 2018, the old trail was restored. Regrettably, after the construction of the Jingling Reservoir, the Ancient Anshan Trail, which runs along the stream, will be submerged under water, disappearing forever from the world. 📍Navigate to: Xiaozhen Creek Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City (parking available) 🔅Easy route: Xiaozhen Creek Village - Flying Dragon Waterfall (round trip) The whole round trip is about 5km, the road is flat, the scenery along the way is beautiful, suitable for the elderly and beginners. The downside is that the stone road surface is uneven, so be extra careful. You can continue to walk up the mountain to Jianguo Village - Anshan Village from the Flying Dragon Waterfall, but it takes a long time, so we didn't go this time. Luckily, while wandering around Shangyouping Village, we accidentally took a photo of a small village on the opposite mountain top, which turned out to be Jianguo Village. TIPS: The best viewing time is after the rain, when the water is more abundant, it will look better. Although it was a bit dry this time, it was still very beautiful, and the Shao Creek was safer. The old trail is quite popular, and there are quite a few people who come to play on weekends. After three or four in the afternoon, there will be relatively fewer people; there are no supply points along the way, so try to bring enough water and food. More surrounding attractions: Gaolai Village, Houdai Village, Shikeng Village, Xikeng Village, Banzhu Village, Meizhu Ancient City, Waipokeng and other ancient villages; there are also attractions such as Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks, Baizhang Rock, Shixia Pit.

Made a temporary decision to set off, and chose Xinchang as the destination. After coming down from the highway for more than ten kilometers, you will arrive at Xiaoquanxi Village. The Panxi River is not full, but the dry season does not prevent the ducks and geese from being leisurely. The signs of life in the small villages on the side of the road are carrying firewood, sunbathing, and chatting about daily life.
