Bamboo Path at Yunqi
云栖竹径
One of the Ten Scenes of New West Lake, a cool and quiet bamboo path of several kilometers. It was once called 'Buddhist Path of Yunqi'.
The Bamboo Path at Yunqi lies on the southern slope of Wuyun Mountain and is one of the Ten Scenes of New West Lake. Its ' thick bamboo shades the sky' and a winding stone-slab path runs through dense moso bamboo groves. Along the way are the Xixin Pavilion, the ruins of Yunqi Temple and imperial stone tablets from the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors. In summer, the temperature here is several degrees lower than in the city. Admission is about 8 yuan, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. You can continue up Wuyun Mountain from here or link it with the Meijiawu tea gardens and Jiuxi in a single day's hike. Take a bus to Yunqi Station.
