Shanghai: Tribute Tea Path Family Hike & Cooking Day

Take your kids on a real Chinese countryside adventure on this 1-day family trip from Shanghai. Coach pickup at 7:00 AM, arriving in Changxing village around 10:30 AM. Morning is hands-on fun: learn to cook beggars chicken (a famous Chinese dish wrapped in clay and fire-roasted), make fire with flint stones, roast sweet potatoes, and try traditional bamboo archery. Kids love it. After lunch, hike 5-6km on the Tribute Tea Ancient Path that once carried tribute tea to the Chinese imperial court. The trail winds through quiet bamboo forests and crosses the Zhejiang-Jiangsu border at the Xuanjiao Ridge province marker. Descend into Yixing village and meet the coach back to Shanghai by 7:30 PM. Designed for families with kids ages 5-12 and adults 18-60. Suitable for first-time hikers. Bring snacks, water, hiking shoes, and a sense of adventure.

A 1-day family adventure from Shanghai featuring a 5km hike on the historic Tribute Tea Path, plus traditional Chinese cooking and archery in a bamboo forest village.
