Xiamu Mountain Ancient Path begins at the picturesque Xiamu Mountain Reservoir, spanning approximately more than twenty kilometers. With numerous twists and turns, beautiful scenery, it is an excellent choice for outdoor hiking. This ancient path has been the essential route for monks to ascend and descend the mountain for thousands of years. Xiamu Mountain, a spur of Tianmu Mountain, is located about 25 kilometers southwest of Huzhou, belonging to Wuxing District and Changxing County. Ming Chongzhen’s records state: ‘Climbing up the rugged high path, one can see Taihu Lake, with all mountains beneath, often shrouded in rosy clouds, hence the name.’ The mountain is covered with tea gardens, clear streams, and refreshing air, making the scenery pleasant. On the peaks of Xiamu Mountain, there is Xiamu Spring, known as ‘Heavenly Lake’. Below the mountain, there are Xiamu Mountain Reservoir, Gufen Reservoir, Shi Chuanwu Reservoir, and Ding Niangling Reservoir. Since ancient times, it has been praised as ‘Mogan Mountain Scenery, Xiamu Mountain Water’. The opening hours are subject to the actual operating status on the day.
