Hangzhou Jiuxi Hiking｜Rejuvenating Oxygen Therapy by Streams and Tea Plantations

Jiuxi is literally a natural oxygen bar for urban dwellers! ⛰️💦 🌿 The Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies are absolutely magical! Crystal-clear streams everywhere Surrounded by healing shades of green No filter needed for photos 🤳 (Waterproof shoes recommended~) 💦 The Jiuxi to Longjing Village route is super beginner-friendly! Gentle slopes and refreshing streams Walking and playing along the way—zero fatigue 😆 ☕️ Take a break in Longjing Village midway Sip authentic West Lake Longjing tea Watching tea farmers pick fresh leaves is incredibly soothing~ ⚠️ But then comes... The Ten-Mile Langdang uphill climb Left me panting like an old cow 🐄 Sweating buckets 💦 BUT! The tea plantation view at the summit is breathtaking! Overlooking the entire Longjing tea fields Totally worth it! ✨ 🐱 Surprise Easter egg! Encountered three stray cats on the way down Adorably hiding by the tea fields (Cat lovers rejoice.jpg) TIPS: 👟 Wear anti-slip shoes 🧴 Bring sunscreen 💦 Pack extra water 📷 Charge your phone (Every turn is photo-worthy!!)
