Moreover, there's a perennial 17-degree cave for summer retreat and various check-in points, making it suitable for summer visits.

💕 'Recommended Check-in Spots'
🌌 Purple Dragon Gorge Drifting
This is the signature attraction of the scenic area! The super long glass slide, about 4 kilometers in total length, with a drop of 800 meters, and a drifting duration of 10 minutes, is simply the pinnacle of drifting in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, thrilling to the extreme!
🌌 Sky Realm
It's super photogenic on a sunny day! When we went, it was just after the rain and the glass reflected the sky and clouds, which was incredibly beautiful. The glass jumping platform has three levels, the second level allows you to overlook the entire green valley, and the third level is even more perfect for photos!
🌌 Purple Gauze Delicate Hand
A purple corridor in the valley, held up by two big hands, very interesting. You can see the whole picture from above.
🌌 Tianzi Cave
Constant temperature of 17 degrees all year round, it's great to come here to escape the heat in summer! Various forms of stalactites, and the cave also has various shaped lanterns, frogs, rabbits, lotus flowers... You can take great photos directly with your phone!
🌌 Cloud Ladder Sky Bridge
The corridor bridge that spans between the valleys looks very thrilling, but it's actually quite stable when you walk on it. If you like something more exciting, you can walk on the adjacent suspension bridge.
After the drifting, heading to the exit of the scenic area, there is also Dinosaur Valley and naked-eye 3D spaceships, which are very suitable for family fun. If you bring kids, you can also come here to play. 🎈
📢 'Some Little Tips'
🎯 The scenic area is large, so you need to allocate your energy reasonably. You can take the 'Flying Carpet' up the mountain and the 'Glass Drift' down the mountain, so you don't have to walk too much.
🎯 The cave is long and there is a temperature difference when entering and exiting, so if you bring children, you can prepare a thin coat. 🧥

Daqishan National Forest Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Tonglu three-day two-night travel itinerary
Day 1: Leave work on Friday and depart from Shanghai. Take the high-speed train for an hour and a half to Tonglu Station and choose to stay near the high-speed rail station. 😊
Day 2: Visit Daqi Mountain National Forest Park, which is very close to the high-speed rail station, just a 10-minute taxi ride away, very convenient. Since it is the off-season now, there are few people, and the whole park is particularly tranquil. Upon entering, there is a bamboo forest, and then after passing through the amusement area, the climb begins. Inside the park, there is a colorful pond, known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou,' and it lives up to its name with blue-green water that is crystal clear. There are also many small suspension bridges, which must be very cool in the summer. The paths for climbing are mostly flat and not difficult at all, except for a steep section when reaching the summit. On the way down, we even saw flying squirrels, 60 yuan per person (actually, you can bargain with the guide, we paid 80 yuan for two people). The whole round trip took us 3 hours, as we walked slowly and kept taking photos. The entrance of the scenic area is also considerate, providing self-service luggage lockers, so there's no need to worry about luggage and no need to carry heavy loads while climbing. 😍
After leaving Daqi Mountain, we wanted to see the Fuchun River, so we took a taxi to Dongmen Wharf, but didn't find any particularly beautiful scenery. The riverside is all residential areas, so we just walked along the river briefly, then went to buy snacks and dinner, as we wanted to reach the B&B before dark and didn't stay in the city for dinner. Nearby, it was very convenient; we bought milk tea, skewers, fried chicken, fruits, etc. 😋
Day 3: We decided to go to Qinglongwu. It takes half an hour by taxi from the city, and we chose to stay in Qinglongwu. This area is a government-developed B&B cluster, located in the mountains, very tranquil, with a pastoral style, giving a peaceful feeling. 🌳
We booked the outermost B&B in Qinglongwu, , highly recommended, the best B&B I have stayed in Zhejiang, very clean, beautiful scenery, attentive service, and great value for money, only over 600 yuan in the off-season. Loft structure, great view, two floors, large space, large floor-to-ceiling windows, the B&B also has a small yard, with a stream in front, the room is spacious and very clean, the public area is also spacious, and there is a bar with KTV where you can sing for free without time limit, there is a large projector at the front desk, mahjong tables and a painting studio on the second floor, the owner's father is a painter. Overall, a fantastic experience! 😁
On Sunday during the day, we walked around Qinglongwu, passed by a B&B, saw the hanging bridge at the entrance, which also seemed nice, really built on the mountain, and felt that the view from our stay was the best. 15 minutes further inside, there is a popular bookstore 'Yan You Ji,' which is a location for variety shows, and even has Li Dan's signature inside. (There are no restaurants in the mountains, only B&Bs offer meals, and the prices are a bit exorbitant.) After checking out, the B&B staff took us to Lüci Village, a tributary of the Fuchun River, where there are more restaurants nearby. After taking a few photos, we hurried to the high-speed rail station. 🚗
Conclusion: This itinerary is very suitable for travelers from Shanghai, even without a car, it's very convenient. According to the Didi driver, summer is the peak season, with many people, and B&B prices will be over a thousand yuan, all for the sake of summer retreat. Definitely must come again in the summer to listen to the babbling brook. 🌞🌿
Hangzhou's summer treasure spot! Each hike at Daqi Mountain brings a new sensation!
🌞In the scorching summer, are you still troubled by not finding a cool and fun place? Let me tell you, Hangzhou's Daqi Mountain National Forest Park🌳 is definitely your summer treasure spot!🎉
📍Location: Daqi Mountain National Forest Park in Tonglu, Hangzhou, where the water is so blue it's mesmerizing, and carp swim through the water as if entering a fairy tale world.🐟 I've been there many times, but each visit brings a different experience, and I'm always deeply attracted by its beauty.😍
🚗Transportation: You can easily get there by self-driving or taking the local bus in Tonglu. But remember to avoid weekends if possible, as the mountain roads are narrow and can get congested when crowded.
🚶♀️Hiking Route: Starting from the entrance, walk through the bamboo path🌿, pass through the Joyful Forest👨👩👧👦, you'll see the unique rocks of Shiyuan Valley and the clear streams🏞️, then the spectacular sight of the water curtain waterfall💦, and walk to the edge of the Heavenly Pool to enjoy the beautiful lake and mountain scenery🌊, and don't forget to experience the majestic force of the Daqi Waterfall🌊. There's also the historical site of the Educated Youth Canal and the thrilling experience of flying squirrels in the forest waiting for you to discover!🎢
🏨Accommodation: You can choose to stay in the county town of Tonglu, or immerse yourself deeper into nature by staying at a campsite or resort around the park.🌌
Every time I walk on this hiking trail, I feel as if I become one with nature, feeling its tranquility and strength.🌳 Here, there are not only streams, reservoirs, waterfalls, and ancient trees, but also the coolness and peace from nature.🍃
💕Friends, if you love nature like I do, enjoy hiking and exploring, then don't miss this treasure spot!🏞️
Daqi Mountain in Tonglu, the most successful reverse travel during the Dragon Boat Festival
On the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Daqi Mountain in Tonglu was crowded with people, which successfully discouraged many from continuing the tradition of waking up early to go out. I woke up at four or five in the morning, but it was raining heavily outside. Can you climb the mountain in the rain? Is Daqi Mountain still worth visiting in the rain? After a brief struggle, I decided to set off! This was a true reverse travel! While others were still dreaming, I arrived at the entrance of the scenic area early! The rain was heavy, no problem, I was fully armed with a raincoat, shoe covers, and an umbrella. No sunshine, no problem, Daqi Mountain in the rain was full of waterfalls. And because the rain was so heavy, for the first part of the time, there were only a few people in the entire scenic area. What's peculiar is that although the stream was strong, it was still clear to the bottom. Although there was no sunshine, the lake water was still as green. When going out, one must adapt to the circumstances. There are ways to enjoy both sunny and rainy days. Not being picky is the greatest happiness! TIPS: 1. There is only one entrance to the Daqi Mountain scenic area, and after entering, there is only one clockwise route to follow, with signs guiding the way, so you don't have to worry about getting lost without a strategy. 2. When descending the mountain, following the guide will lead you to the 'Flying Squirrel in the Forest' project, which costs 60r for a ride on a small train down the mountain. If you think the cost-performance ratio is too low, you can turn left at the fork 100 meters before reaching the 'Flying Squirrel in the Forest'. 3. The on-site ticket price for the scenic area is 62r, but if you choose to buy tickets through an online platform, you can get a discount to 56r, however, you will have to wait half an hour to get the ticket. 4. When taking pictures of waterfalls, choose the 'Time Shuttle Slow Door' mode on your phone (if it's a Vivo) for slow shutter photography, which can conveniently capture the silky smooth flow of water; if your hand is not steady, remember to bring a tripod.

Hiking can truly heal the soul, so hurry up and copy this parent-child hiking route to the ceiling
Route: Lutz Village - Take a taxi to Shishe Village - Maoping Village - Baibu Street - Xiekengkou Village - Back to Lutz Village, about 12km in total
【First Section Shishe Village】
1. It's hard to hail a taxi, it took half an hour to find one... If you really can't find one, there's a bus every half hour
2. The shops in Shishe Village are quite interesting, like the 'Panic Yarn' store. Many people recommend staying in Shishe, but I didn't see many guesthouses actually
3. The most beautiful view of Shishe Village is at the beginning of the ancient trail, where you can see the panoramic view of the village and the S-shaped river, surrounded by green mountains and waters – it's simply wonderful~
【Second Section Maoping Village】
1. The signs on the ancient trail in Maoping Village are not very clear, we felt something was wrong and took a wild path down the mountain into the village halfway. The villagers said the ancient trail stops here for a while, and the second half continues from the bottom of the mountain
2. There's a small market in the village center square, bought a bottle of beef sauce which tasted good, zongzi and fermented rice dumplings were also delicious (probably because we were hungry, there seems to be no restaurants in the village
3. There's a beautiful ancient bridge, and under the bridge, there's even a 'Bridge Hole Coffee' hidden, you have to admire the owner's creativity! On both sides of the bridge hole, it's like a barbecue camp, several tables of people are enjoying their drinks, under the green trees, over the green river, with a breeze blowing, it's just too comfortable~
【Third Section Baibu Street】
The new section of the ancient trail, from the mountains to the fields, passing through large farmlands, comes to Baibu Street Pavilion, next to it is a thousand-year-old camphor tree, which commands respect
【Fourth Section Xiekengkou Village】
Walking forward to the main road, following the steps of a teahouse down, there's a half-moon-shaped dam, you can walk across, but your shoes might get a bit wet in the middle. The shore is a bit slippery, be very careful! We witnessed a boy falling into the water, it wasn't deep and not dangerous, but it was really embarrassing..
【Fifth Section Lutz Village】
1. On the way from Xiekengkou to Lutz, we crossed another green mountain and a maple forest, and met a sexy little wild cat rubbing against our legs, couldn't help but stroke it a few times
2. Finally, we successfully returned to my great Lutz Village, I thought 12km would be difficult, but after walking and stopping for five or six hours, I didn't feel tired at all
3. Decided to treat myself in the evening, went to the best barbecue restaurant in town recommended by the villagers, local specialties like grilled fish tail and stinky tofu were all good (ate back all the weight I lost today). After eating, went for a foot massage, couldn't find a very formal one so settled for one, but didn't expect to be able to sing karaoke in a foot massage shop haha
In the end, I don't know who designed the Malingshan Ancient Trail, but I'm very grateful. From the mountains, fields, waters, to the forests, each section is full of wild fun and surprises. Special praise for the small canal that accompanied us all the way, clear and lively, picked a small flower along the way and put it in the canal, then followed the speed of the flower drifting, and realized that not rushing and walking slowly feels really good
The most successful trend-following trip! A 2-day and 1-night water fun and summer escape guide in Tonglu

Fuchunjiang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Tonglu three-day two-night travel itinerary
Day 1: Leave work on Friday and depart from Shanghai. Take the high-speed train for an hour and a half to Tonglu Station and choose to stay near the high-speed rail station. 😊
Day 2: Visit Daqi Mountain National Forest Park, which is very close to the high-speed rail station, just a 10-minute taxi ride away, very convenient. Since it is the off-season now, there are few people, and the whole park is particularly tranquil. Upon entering, there is a bamboo forest, and then after passing through the amusement area, the climb begins. Inside the park, there is a colorful pond, known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou,' and it lives up to its name with blue-green water that is crystal clear. There are also many small suspension bridges, which must be very cool in the summer. The paths for climbing are mostly flat and not difficult at all, except for a steep section when reaching the summit. On the way down, we even saw flying squirrels, 60 yuan per person (actually, you can bargain with the guide, we paid 80 yuan for two people). The whole round trip took us 3 hours, as we walked slowly and kept taking photos. The entrance of the scenic area is also considerate, providing self-service luggage lockers, so there's no need to worry about luggage and no need to carry heavy loads while climbing. 😍
After leaving Daqi Mountain, we wanted to see the Fuchun River, so we took a taxi to Dongmen Wharf, but didn't find any particularly beautiful scenery. The riverside is all residential areas, so we just walked along the river briefly, then went to buy snacks and dinner, as we wanted to reach the B&B before dark and didn't stay in the city for dinner. Nearby, it was very convenient; we bought milk tea, skewers, fried chicken, fruits, etc. 😋
Day 3: We decided to go to Qinglongwu. It takes half an hour by taxi from the city, and we chose to stay in Qinglongwu. This area is a government-developed B&B cluster, located in the mountains, very tranquil, with a pastoral style, giving a peaceful feeling. 🌳
We booked the outermost B&B in Qinglongwu, , highly recommended, the best B&B I have stayed in Zhejiang, very clean, beautiful scenery, attentive service, and great value for money, only over 600 yuan in the off-season. Loft structure, great view, two floors, large space, large floor-to-ceiling windows, the B&B also has a small yard, with a stream in front, the room is spacious and very clean, the public area is also spacious, and there is a bar with KTV where you can sing for free without time limit, there is a large projector at the front desk, mahjong tables and a painting studio on the second floor, the owner's father is a painter. Overall, a fantastic experience! 😁
On Sunday during the day, we walked around Qinglongwu, passed by a B&B, saw the hanging bridge at the entrance, which also seemed nice, really built on the mountain, and felt that the view from our stay was the best. 15 minutes further inside, there is a popular bookstore 'Yan You Ji,' which is a location for variety shows, and even has Li Dan's signature inside. (There are no restaurants in the mountains, only B&Bs offer meals, and the prices are a bit exorbitant.) After checking out, the B&B staff took us to Lüci Village, a tributary of the Fuchun River, where there are more restaurants nearby. After taking a few photos, we hurried to the high-speed rail station. 🚗
Conclusion: This itinerary is very suitable for travelers from Shanghai, even without a car, it's very convenient. According to the Didi driver, summer is the peak season, with many people, and B&B prices will be over a thousand yuan, all for the sake of summer retreat. Definitely must come again in the summer to listen to the babbling brook. 🌞🌿
