Description

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. This is gentle, leisurely walking on flat scenic trails and shaded boardwalks, not a strenuous hike, with plenty of stops for photos and fresh mountain air. Enjoy a relaxed local lunch, then visit the tranquil Chanyuan Temple where you can sip tea or coffee and soak up the calm atmosphere. A convenient sightseeing shuttle keeps walking light. After a restful afternoon in the forest, your private car returns you directly to your Shanghai hotel. Ideal for travelers and families who want authentic Chinese nature, culture, and tea culture at an easy, comfortable pace.
