Spring is the perfect time for mountain climbing, and the Mountaining Challenge at the Southern Bamboo Sea of Tianmu Lake has become a classic event this spring. The winding mountain path follows along the stream, extending from the statue of the Longevity Elder at the southern foot of the mountain deep into the bamboo sea. The first peak of Wu and Yue in the Southern Bamboo Sea, with an elevation of 508 meters, serves as the finishing point of the mountain climbing competition. A trail of over a thousand meters suits friends, classmates, and colleagues to come together for a mountain race. It's not about who reaches the summit first, but rather the scenery along the way and the joyous mood of appreciating it.
At the top, the ZHUANGYUAN Pavilion allows visitors to admire the grace of literary talents from the past, inspiring future generations to strive for excellence. There are also thrilling high-altitude rope descents that bring excitement and the joy of spring. In the countryside, ancient mills and water wheels sway gently, and under the spring sunshine, one can operate these ancient water wheels, channeling the flowing creek water to irrigate fields and vegetable gardens, evoking memories of long-past times. On the streets of Jiangnan, various handicrafts dazzle the eyes, while delicious snacks open up one’s appetite. Additionally, there's a carnival filled with fun activities like riding a water bicycle which offers a unique pleasure. Other attractions such as the Butterfly Valley, Fun World, and high-altitude flying descents make for a distinctive and warm early spring journey.
