Taiping Hash: June 23
Big Bamboo Adventure: Part III
Since we are too lazy to look for new run sites, and everyone got lost anyway last year, we head back to Dongming Forest Park, which is northwest of Hangzhou on the way to Moganshan.
This is our third time to this range of hills, and if you forgot what the place looks like, take a look here: www.dms-forestpark.com/
We'll make the bus ride 45 minutes shorter this year by driving straight to the lake for an A-A run.
There will be long and short runs. It may be a bit hot on the trail.
Bring some water.
There may also be some shiggy and a few friendly mosquitoes on the trail.
A second large duck farm was built alongside the lake, so the quality of swimming might be a bit questionable.
There is camping and cheap cabins at the run site.
