| See the romantic sea of clouds and sunrise. ⛰️ Taizijian, at an altitude of 1,557 meters, is known as one of the "Three Peaks of Western Zhejiang" along with Baizhangling and Tonggongjian. The temperature here is 6–10°C lower than in the plains, so the first snow of the year in Hangzhou usually falls here.
📍 Location: At the border of Yuantou Village, Longgang Town, Lin'an, Hangzhou, and the vast sea of clouds of Qingliang Peak
🚙 Navigation: Taizijian Post (self-driving or group tours recommended)
🥾 Hiking distance: About 2 km, round trip, with a total elevation gain of 250 meters
🏞 Scenery rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‼️ Hiking difficulty: ⭐
✅ It only takes 1.5 hours to hike to the top of Taizijian (1,557 m). There are signs along the way. The trailhead is a stone staircase, and after a while, you will reach a dirt road. Follow the dirt road to the top. Although there is no road leading directly to Taizijian, the climb is not very steep.
👕 Equipment:
Quick-drying base layer, fleece, jacket, pants, lightweight down jacket, thick socks
Gloves, thick face towel, hat, sunglasses, crampons, trekking poles, hiking boots
