The Gangdun Ancient Road Scenic Area, nestled in Cixi City, is a testament to history dating back over 300 years. This original ecological ancient road is a marvel of its time, constructed with stones of varying sizes that have been carefully laid to form a path that snakes up the mountain.
As one ventures along this ancient route, they are greeted by the soothing presence of shady trees providing respite from the sun, the vibrant greenery of lush vegetation, and the melodic sounds of gurgling brooks that add to the serenity of the journey. The experience of hiking on this road is one that envelops the traveler in a sense of comfort and tranquility.
Despite the passage of time, the Gangdun Ancient Road remains well-preserved, retaining much of its original charm. However, the imperfections are part of its story—some stone steps are incomplete, and others show signs of damage, which only serve to enhance the road’s historical allure and the sense of its rich, vicissitudinous past.
