Traveling trough Chinese big cities can't get a comprehensive understanding about China and its people, why not arrange a short excursion during trip to China and get away from crowded cities, besides historical sites and nice natural scenery, go to do countryside trekking, the trip will help to have chance to get as close as possible to villages and local famers, and know China from other side.

Picking up at 8:30 from the hotel, about one hour driving get to a local market, try to bargain with local peddlers for some fresh vegetables by yourself, challenge to communicate with locals by body language and get what you want, then follow zigzag mountain road up to the start point of trekking. About one hour trekking along the small country path through valley and mountain ridge, passing by farmland, orchard, brushwood and bridges, greeting from local smiling friendly people on the way, reach one local farmer courtyard and will have lunch there, some dishes are made just from the vegetables you bought on the way. After lunch, go to visit the village teahouse and spend some time with local old people and kids, learn how to play local cards. If lucky enough to meet any villagers doing farm work and we can join. About 2 pm, we
take different way trekking back, up and down along the mountain path by a reservoir, 1.5 hours trekking back to the parking place, private transfer for next destination, Huanglongxi Old Town, stroll around the town and relax at riverside tea house for a while before back to city, and then one hour driving get to hotel and finish whole day trip.
