Shanghai: Han Fei River Ancient Path Hike Day Trip

Escape Shanghai for a peaceful hiking adventure into Xinchang Countys hidden Han Fei River Ancient Path. Your day starts with a comfortable coach pickup from Xuhui at 7:00 AM, arriving in the village of Shimenkeng around 10:30. Begin with a warm-up walk to Daotuoxue, an iconic upside-down boot-shaped rock cliff. Continue along the Han Fei River through bamboo groves and dramatic Danxia red-rock landscapes that have earned this region the nickname Jiangnan Little Guilin. Pause at Shimenkeng village for a picnic lunch by the water. In the afternoon, follow the ancient stone trail past the lion-shaped rock and the legendary Tongtian Fanzheng formation. Cross historic stone bridges, observe traditional village life, and enjoy quiet stretches of forested path before returning to the coach pickup point. This is a beginner-friendly hike (8-65 years), suitable for first-time walkers. Bring your own picnic lunch, water, and comfortable hiking shoes.
