Overview

  • Leave Shanghai behind and discover a quieter side of China, where tea-covered hills, ancient villages, forest hot springs, and peaceful coastal landscapes await.

    Over three days, explore Ninghai with an English-speaking guide, following scenic countryside trails through traditional villages, tea terraces, and mountain scenery. Discover local stories and rural traditions along the way.

    After a rewarding hike, unwind in the warm waters of Nanxi Forest Hot Spring, surrounded by woodland. The next day, explore waterfalls and mountain trails before heading to Qiangjiao, a coastal fishing town where you can glimpse everyday life by the sea.

    With return transport from Shanghai, two nights of hotel accommodation, and guided experiences arranged for you, this journey combines outdoor discovery, cultural connection, and time to slow down—without the hassle of planning it all yourself.

    Please note: This experience requires a minimum of 2 participants to operate.
