Nanjing: Anji Bamboo Forest & Stream Trail Day Trip

Cool off and slow down on this refreshing private day trip from Nanjing to the beautiful Yinshan ancient trail in Anji, a region famous across China for its endless seas of bamboo and pure mountain air. This relaxed tour is designed around comfort and gentle enjoyment, with easy streamside paths rather than strenuous hiking. Your English-speaking guide meets you at your Nanjing hotel and travels with you in a private, air-conditioned car for the scenic drive south.

Anji is celebrated as a natural oxygen bar, and the Yinshan ancient trail is one of its loveliest, most soothing corners. The old stone path follows a clear mountain stream almost the entire way, the water sometimes rushing, sometimes calm, with its gentle sound accompanying you throughout the day. Along the route you will find shallow pools and slow, glassy stretches of stream, perfect for slipping off your shoes to paddle, splash a little or simply rest your feet on a sun-warmed boulder while the summer heat melts away.

The trail winds through cool, shaded bamboo groves and forest, where the green canopy and flowing water keep the air fresh and comfortable even on warm days. There is no pressure to keep up a pace, just time to stroll gently, take photos and enjoy the tranquil, picturesque scenery. Your guide shares the natural and cultural stories of this peaceful place.

A relaxed lunch is enjoyed at a comfortable spot along the way, and because the tour is entirely private, the day flows completely at your own speed. In the late afternoon your private car returns you directly to your Nanjing hotel after a calm, restorative day in authentic rural China.
