Hangzhou Hiking|Ten Mile Langdang to Yunqi Bamboo Trail Hiking Route

📘 Ten Mile Langdang Danno is located in Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Spot, and it is customary to call the hillock from Wuyun Mountain in the south to Tianzhu in the north commonly known as “Langdang Ling”. Because the hillock winds around for about several kilometers, in ancient times, the cargo man picks a burden from the edge of the Qiantang River to Longjing and Lingyin, because of the sound of jingling bells on the burden, and the road is nearly ten miles, so it is named “Ten Mile Langdang Danno”.
