Itinerary description

Hiking way through terraced rice fields and small villages.
Can also continue to Shengcun, about one more hour walk.
Paved way, very muddy points, some slippery ones and narrow walking paths.
Mostly plain but has some steep ups and downs.
There are milestones but in some crucial points they are missing, and can be really confusing.

Please ignore the first part that was on car, and the 21 hrs total time. Recording was on over night. If anybody knows how to modify and add flags, please tell me.

Tricky point

Pay attention to this point. Follow the milestone then you have to turn left in a small road right behind the houses that face the rice fields. The milestone is a bit hard to see in this moment due to construction works. If you reach a little square with car parked and three way intersection, you already passed that road. See the picture for the short way to take

If you missed that road or you are not sure, from the square follow the way up and you’ll reach here

Malizhai

Follow the way on the right as you enter the village, unless you want to go to Shengcun (about 1 hr). This is actually suggested by local guides but it was too late for me.
