Overview

  • Discover a lesser-known side of China through scenic hikes, ancient villages, tea-covered hills, forest hot springs, and a quiet coastal fishing town. With a local hiking guide, travelers gain deeper insight into Ninghai’s landscapes, village life, tea culture, and fishing traditions while enjoying a relaxed, well-paced escape from Shanghai. The journey balances active exploration with time to slow down, soak in natural hot springs, connect with local surroundings, and experience places that most visitors to China never see.

    Please note: This experience requires a minimum of 2 participants to operate. If the minimum number is not reached, we will contact you before departure to offer an alternative date or provide a full refund.
