Hangzhou Jiuxi Hiking｜Rejuvenating Oxygen Therapy by Streams and Tea Plantations

Jiuxi is literally a natural oxygen bar for urban dwellers! ⛰️💦

🌿 The Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies are absolutely magical!
Crystal-clear streams everywhere
Surrounded by healing shades of green
No filter needed for photos 🤳
(Waterproof shoes recommended~)

💦 The Jiuxi to Longjing Village route is super beginner-friendly!
Gentle slopes and refreshing streams
Walking and playing along the way—zero fatigue 😆

☕️ Take a break in Longjing Village midway
Sip authentic West Lake Longjing tea
Watching tea farmers pick fresh leaves is incredibly soothing~

⚠️ But then comes...
The Ten-Mile Langdang uphill climb
Left me panting like an old cow 🐄
Sweating buckets 💦
BUT!
The tea plantation view at the summit is breathtaking!
Overlooking the entire Longjing tea fields
Totally worth it! ✨

🐱 Surprise Easter egg!
Encountered three stray cats on the way down
Adorably hiding by the tea fields
(Cat lovers rejoice.jpg)

TIPS:
👟 Wear anti-slip shoes
🧴 Bring sunscreen
💦 Pack extra water
📷 Charge your phone
(Every turn is photo-worthy!!)
