Itinerary description

Wuchao mountain circular route near Shimacun (Shima village).

Arrive by car at: Hangzhou No. 2 Cementary 杭州市第二公墓停车场.

Combination of manicured and natural paths. Lots of nice scenery, including a fairy-tale-looking tower. Some steep natural inclines where one has to scramble.

Some of the manicured steps are in very poor condition. I probably wouldn't do a reverse route because of these steps. Piles of garbage at some places but most of this path is relatively tidy.

I went on the weekend following Sweeping Tomb Festival (20230408). Clear skies, decent air quality (AQI-70). From several viewpoints, you can see a lot of disgusting smog over Hangzhou city but you can look away towards the plantations and mountain landscapes.

Not built for those big feet. Also not built well. Better they were never built!
