We can organise picnics there for groups or picnics on a hill top with a great view. Get us to organise a van pick up from there or walk back along the red route 9.5km YC North to Yanke.
Alternatively rent a ebike or bike from us, we can have it dropped off and cycle mostly downhill back to the homestay stopping off in Sanyang to check out the old town and go shopping (mmmmm…… not so much to buy but interesting experience).
