Escape the 'classroom vibe' in Anji and retreat to the mountains to play in the water

- Fuqigu, a very literary name, seems to be a little-known niche sanctuary that only officially opened to the public in May this year. With canyon waterfalls, cliff walls, bamboo forests, and babbling streams, it truly boasts natural scenery and is definitely the best place to cool off on weekends and holidays! - 📍 Futang Village, Zhangcun Town, Anji County, Huzhou - 1️⃣ It is recommended to drive yourself and navigate to Fuqigu directly; otherwise, transferring between several buses can be quite troublesome. After arriving, it is suggested to park your car at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain (currently free of charge) but spaces are limited. If full, you will need to park in front of villagers' houses, so it's best to arrive early. Then take a shuttle bus up the mountain, which takes about ten minutes but the road is winding, so driving is not recommended unless you have extensive driving experience. However, you can't drive to the top of the mountain; you can only park at the second waterfall. Additionally, it is said that cars from outside the area are not allowed to drive up. . 2️⃣ There are a total of five waterfalls, but the shuttle bus does not stop at the first small waterfall and goes directly to the second waterfall, which is free and you can play in the water directly. If you have the stamina and enjoy hiking, you can hike up and down the mountain. Many groups also trek through the bamboo forest to the fifth waterfall, and the difficulty level is not high. . 3️⃣ Above the second waterfall is the third waterfall, which is the best spot for photography—a sinkhole waterfall that is very photogenic. Here’s a key point⚠️: If you want to go directly to the third waterfall, you can enter through the red iron staircase inside the café, which takes only a few minutes, but you need to spend at least 38 yuan to enter. Otherwise, you need to hike through the mountain path next to the café, which seems quite long and not easy to walk, with occasional risks of being blocked. Some bloggers have posted that the area leading to the third waterfall is blocked by iron bars, but the truth is unknown. . 4️⃣ At the third waterfall, you can leisurely relax, play in the water, and take photos. Several spots are particularly photogenic, especially at the cave entrance, where you can take wide-angle shots from above, easily capturing the photo of a lifetime! . 📌PS: This is still a relatively niche attraction, mostly visited by self-driving or hiking enthusiasts, so there are not many homestay facilities nearby. It is not recommended to visit solely for this spot. You can combine it with nearby attractions in Anji (such as Longwang Mountain rafting or Yunshang Grassland). Afterward, you can head to the city for accommodation or your next destination. -
