Shanghai: Tianmu Mountain Ancient Forest Private Day Trip

Trade the Shanghai skyline for a peaceful day among China's oldest giant trees on this relaxed private day tour. After a comfortable pickup from your hotel, settle into your private air-conditioned car for the scenic drive to Tianmu Mountain, a protected nature reserve in Zhejiang famous as the 'Kingdom of Giant Trees'.

With your private English-speaking guide, take an easy, unhurried walk along well-maintained forest paths beneath a canopy of soaring ancient trees, some more than 30 meters tall. Your guide shares the stories behind landmark trees such as the 'Tree King' and 'Sky-Reaching Tree', and the legendary thousand-year ginkgo grove.

After a restful afternoon in the forest, your private car returns you directly to your Shanghai hotel.
