Hike: A Long Way to Catch the Train
Date: April 19 - 8 am
Venue: Beijing Hikers, Beijing
Price: 340 yuan
Before roads were built up into the mountains, the villagers of Xi Changyu had to walk for two hours over the mountains to get to the nearest train station. On this hike we will follow part of their old path up to a windy ridge with great views.
After descending from the ridge we'll walk through the villages of Xi Changyu and Dong Changyu, and then climb up a hill that looks out over the all the local peach or chards we're hoping that after a long winter the peach blossoms will be starting to open by the time we visit.
Villagers have concreted many of the old trails to all oweasier access to their fields. On this hike, there are few stretches where we'll be walking on concrete roads.
Time: 8:30 am departure from Lido Hotel Starbucks; Liangmaqiao subway area pickup at 8:00 am.
