Continue along ridge trails through emerald tea plantations and blooming peach orchards. In the afternoon, hike along Donggang Mountains scenic ridges with sweeping views of Siming Lake far below. Descend via the legendary Yang E Ancient Trail, a thousand-year-old stone path used by ancient travelers. Finish at Xiajialing village, where the coach awaits to return you to Shanghai by 7:30 PM.

One detail from the day: the stop I expected to like least turned into the one we discussed afterward. That is the advantage of tasting with someone who can explain what is in front of you. The time around the trail was not the part I would cut.

The useful part in Shanghai was having someone explain how to order the same dishes later. I left with names in my phone, not just photos.

A practical note: this is not technical hiking, but it isn't a city stroll either. Starting early gave us a cooler, quieter stretch on the trail. I would keep the Shanghai outline as it was.

In hindsight, I liked this more a day later, when I looked back through my photos and realised how different Shanghai and the trail had felt.

In short, I booked mainly for the trail. I was glad I did because of Shanghai.
