Nanjing: Peach Picking & Old Village Private Day Trip

Just outside Nanjing, the wooded hills of Lishui offer a slow, refreshing day in the countryside, perfect for travellers who want fresh air, local flavour, and a taste of rural Chinese life without any tough hiking. This fully private tour comes with hotel pickup, your own vehicle, and an English-speaking guide who sets an easy, comfortable pace.

Your day begins in the forest park around Wuxiang Mountain, a leafy 'natural oxygen bar' of quiet woodland trails, temples, and lakeside views. You take a gentle stroll rather than a climb, pausing at the atmospheric Qinbi grotto, known for the soft, echoing 'cave sounds' that give the spot its name. It is a calm, scenic setting with plenty of shade and easy walking suitable for all ages.

A real seasonal highlight follows: a visit to a local orchard to pick your own sweet yellow peaches straight from the tree. You can sample as you go and take some home (a generous share is included), a fun, hands-on way to connect with the region's farming life that families especially love.

You also wander a charming nearby old village, soaking up the unhurried 'slow time' atmosphere of rural Jiangsu with its lanes, fields, and friendly small-town pace. A relaxed local lunch is included. The whole experience is designed to be easy, authentic, and stress-free. In the late afternoon your private car returns you to your Nanjing hotel.

Gentle private day from Nanjing into the Lishui hills. Wander Wuxiang Mountain, pick fresh yellow peaches and stroll an old village, with your guide, private car and lunch.
