🌟Itinerary
We departed from Wuhan at around 8:30, and the bus took about 2 hours, arriving at Gexian Mountain at around 10:30.
There is no public toilet at the foot of the mountain, but the villagers are very nice and I can use their toilets.
⌚️We started climbing the mountain at around 11 o'clock. We met other teams on the way. It seems that there are quite a lot of people in Gexian Mountain recently.
At the beginning of the climb, you need to go through a bamboo forest, but the freezing rain crushed a lot of bamboos, so the road was not easy to walk on.
⌚️Around noon, we climbed to the top of Gexian Mountain, saw the big windmill, and took a lot of photos. Although it was cloudy and foggy, the scenery was pretty good.
🌸The cherry blossoms have bloomed, and the cherry blossoms and windmills are captured together, which is very photogenic
🚌We started to go down the mountain at about 2 o'clock, returned to the meeting point at around 4 o'clock, and took the bus back to Wuhan.
