Found the hotel of my life in Moganshan 🏨 As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't help but send a video to my parents. The whole environment is super cozy 🍃! 270° floor-to-ceiling windows with a view, and a huge mountain view 🌄 outside the window. You don't even need a filter to take photos. You can have afternoon tea ☕, chat, and do some crafts at the homestay's small bar. There are many room types, most of which have private hot springs. My favorite is the outdoor private hot spring on the top floor of the homestay ♨ with a high-altitude view overlooking a whole bamboo forest and mountain sea. There is also a fireplace and a tea room next to it. Enjoy the sunset in the distance in the evening. It's super romantic. I look forward to coming back here in winter to see the hot springs and starry sky 🌌

#passionpassport #teacherventure Mogashan is the perfect getaway, to relax get out of the big city. Lots of guesthouses and hotels to choose from. The air is fresh and the peace and quiet is refreshing. The guesthouse owner was very hands on and from the moment we arrived he took care of us. Bringing us watermelon and cold water for a welcome snack, helping us with our bags. We could use the kitchen to make our meals and the swimming pool was clean. Anything we needed the owner gave us and more. Lovely stay in Mogashan will be returning.

🚗Getting There - It’s situated over an hour ⏰away from Huzhou city. You’d need a car to get there. You could also take a train🚊 from any other city to Deqing and a taxi from there. Make sure the driver drops you at the parking lot to avoid walking up a steep hill. 📍Address: Moganshan 莫干山蕨宿温泉美 🤩Attractions - Surrounded by mountains ⛰ and bamboo trees🎋 on a hill. Who wouldn’t love that? A hot spring tub is available for 180元 per session, which is an hour long. There is one room that has a built in hot tub in the room for exclusivity. There is a large swimming pool, which was drained out at the time of my visit due to the weather conditions. 🏨Hotels - This Villa has multiple rooms with mordern rustic interior design. 🍽🍛Food & Restaurants - There is a restaurant on site, but one has to order in advance. 🛍Shopping - There’s not much shopping to do around there except minor souvinirs. I’d like to believe people go there for retreats rather than shopping. Cost: Rooms from 800元per night 📷@gnett_l on Instagram #hotsprings #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

Moganshan is a perfect place for a quick getaway. Though there is no airport or train connection, you can easily get there by bus or taxi from either Hangzhou or Shanghai, though Hangzhou is much closer. Within the town there are plenty of places to stay. You won't find any big hotel chains, but that's the beauty of Moganshan. Every place here is unique. Yes, there are luxury hotels, but the best places to stay are the smaller hotels that only have a couple of rooms. You can even rent out the entire space. While you are there, you can get to the top of Moganshan by taking the shuttle bus. Personally, I would have enjoyed hiking up, but it's all along the roads plied with busses. Luckily, on my way down, I found a different path that cut through the bamboo forest.

Mogan Mountain is a famous mountain in the northern part of Zhejiang Province. It is located 60km north of the provincial capital of Hangzhou City and is known as a summer resort and sightseeing spot. It is 720m above sea level, and it is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, swordsmith Ganjiang of Wu and his wife Mo Ye forged swords in the mountains, which is where the mountain got its name. There are many springs, ponds, and waterfalls, as well as flower fields and bamboo forests. It is very beautiful in spring and summer, but snow-capped Mogan Mountain is even more beautiful. #trip2022

Moganshan, Chairman Mao's place of residence Chairman Mao's place of stay is located at No. 126, Shangheng Road, Mogan Mountain Scenic Area. In 1934, he was newly established by Jiang Yie, Managing Director of Zhejiang Industrial Bank. In 1948, it was leased to the Xiqiao Hotel in Hangzhou. At that time, the beautiful brand cigarettes were popular. Because the beauty cigarettes were comparable to the Queen, the owner was named after the Queen. In March 1954, during the presiding of the first constitution of New China, Chairman Mao was accompanied by staff to visit Shangshan. He stayed here and was attracted by the natural beauty of Moganshan. He wrote a poem entitled "Seven Musts Moganshan". : "Turning back into the seven-person room, returning to the first peak into the Cang Cang. Forty-eight sets have passed, and Fengchi has already arrived at Qiantang." Since then, the Queen's Hotel has become famous and has become a must-see for tourists. There are exhibition rooms, historical materials, relics, etc.

Stayed for about 2,000 yuan a night.

Wear a cheongsam with a rich classical flavor and be a quaint mountain lover. Moganshan In addition to the scenic scenery, it is also favored by celebrities, and the human landscape is quite rich. How many literati have left poetry inscriptions here, and there are more than 200 celebrity villas hidden in the mountains and forests, and the beauty of Moganshan is integrated. These villas are different in form and have become another unique wonder of Moganshan. The whole mountain still preserves nearly 200 villas of different architectural styles, nestled in the shade of bamboo, elegant and quiet.

Moganshan is one of the famous holiday resorts and a famous homestay. In the idea of returning to the original life, I chose the original Qingyuan. The owner of is a designer, but he didn't use too much design skills for the original house. Instead, he made a simple and simple way to make "no design" the ultimate. Entering the room is the wall of cement, simple tables and chairs. The owner of the homestay said: The Chinese countryside is unique in its beauty. It is transmitted from history and transmitted from the wilderness. The original is the original, meaning "exploration" in ancient Chinese. Using the attitude of inquiry, the origin of life is the revelation that the original house wants to bring to each visitor. The mission given by the original house is not only the homestay, but also the realization of the attitude of life, in a way back to the original. It brings people's mind and body from the city into a more simple and natural village, and between the pitches, it is the world. If you like small animals, then you will not be bored. In the original house, not only the cute dog, but also the cute comet, it will appear to you from time to time, reading books with you, drinking tea, and looking at each other. In fact, whether it is Wangshan or Yitian, the owner wants to convey the same thing and return to simple life.

Moganshan, located in Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang, is one of China's four major summer resorts. It is named after the legend of Ganjiang and Moye, swordsmiths from the Spring and Autumn period, who forged swords here. The area is famous for its "Three Wonders" of bamboo, clouds, and springs, as well as the "Four Advantages" of cleanliness, tranquility, greenery, and coolness. It boasts vast bamboo seas, a cluster of Republic of China-era villas, and rich natural scenery. 🏡 Homestays: The Aesthetic of Mountain and Wilderness Design Moganshan’s homestays have long surpassed traditional farm stays, becoming highly experiential "destinations" themselves. Here, many trendy homestays with strong design senses gather, each like a small art gallery. * Yinxi 39: Features the wildly popular "Sky Blue" room with three-sided panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows facing the bamboo forest. The rooftop terrace is an excellent spot for sightseeing and photos. * Yunding Castle: European castle style with a 270° mountain view terrace and the largest infinity pool in Moganshan, offering breathtaking views of sunrise clouds and sunset glow. * Xipo Resort Villa: Focuses on wild luxury style, with red walls, standalone villas, terrazzo hot spring fireplaces, and 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the mountain scenery indoors. At night, you can count stars through the skylight. * Laiye·Moganshan: Pure white Instagram-style architecture, like a white island floating on water, featuring 720-degree oversized glass windows with an extremely open spatial feel. ❄️ Snow Scenery: A Winter Fairy Tale in Jiangnan In winter, Moganshan sheds its green and dons a silver coat, revealing a unique serene beauty. * Rime Spectacle: On snowy mornings, the trees across the mountains are covered with sparkling frost, with branches adorned with "jade flowers," resembling a fairyland. * Ice Waterfall Wonder: The Jianchi Waterfall freezes into a huge icefall in low temperatures, like hundreds of sharp swords hanging upside down on the cliff, crystal clear and cold. * Snow-Pressed Bamboo Sea: A rare snowy forest sea in Jiangnan, where bamboo bends under thick snow. When sunlight passes through, it refracts colorful light, as if stepping into a Studio Ghibli anime world. * Republic of China Charm: The red walls of century-old villas contrast beautifully with the white snow, with rime hanging on branches, as if traveling back to the Republic of China era. 💡 Travel Tips * Best time to enjoy the snow: The morning after snowfall, when the rime is most complete and the light is soft, perfect for photography. * Transportation advice: Mountain roads are slippery in snowy weather. It is recommended to wear ice cleats or anti-slip shoe covers. Walking uphill is safer.

Located about 1.5–2 hours from Hangzhou, Moganshan is a well-known mountain getaway in Zhejiang. It’s a popular escape from the summer heat, offering forest trails, cooler temperatures, and a unique mix of Chinese nature and historic Western-style villas. 📌Why Visit: 1. Cooler Climate Moganshan has long been considered a summer retreat thanks to its higher elevation and forest coverage. Temperatures here are noticeably lower than in Hangzhou during hot months. 2. Historic Villas In the early 20th century, foreign diplomats and missionaries built stone villas on the mountain. Many of these buildings are still preserved and now operate as boutique hotels or guesthouses, giving the area a distinctive architectural character. 3. Hiking Trails Well-maintained walking paths connect scenic viewpoints, bamboo forests, and quiet rest areas. Trails are suitable for casual hikers rather than extreme trekking. 4. Peaceful Atmosphere Compared to large tourist cities, Moganshan offers a quieter, slower environment — especially on weekdays. 🔎 Practical Information: 🚗 How to Get There: From Hangzhou, travel by car or train to Deqing, then continue by taxi to the mountain area. Total travel time is around 1.5–2 hours. 🏕️ Recommended Stay: 1–2 nights to fully enjoy the scenery and avoid rushing. ⛱️ Best Time to Visit: Spring and autumn provide the most comfortable weather and clearer views. Summer is popular due to cooler temperatures but can be busy on weekends. 🧩Who It’s For: Travelers looking for a short nature retreat, light hiking, and a stay in a historic mountain setting. My personal impression💚 Moganshan is not about dramatic landscapes or major attractions. Its appeal lies in the atmosphere — misty mornings, pine forests, and quiet evenings. It’s a practical and relaxing choice for those who want a break from city life without traveling too far from Hangzhou or Shanghai.

**Title: I moved into Moganshan and started living the most enviable life on social media!** While the city was under a 35°C heat warning, I was in the 25°C bamboo forest of Moganshan, sleeping under a light quilt until I woke up naturally. Only then did I understand why elites from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai rush here whenever they have free time. **Here’s how to enjoy a 24-hour immersive escape experience:** **9:00 AM | Check into the "Breathing House"** This time, I didn’t check into a trendy homestay but chose a designer cabin halfway up the mountain. The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows "frame" the entire bamboo forest inside the room. Having breakfast by the infinity pool, the mountain breeze carrying the fresh scent of bamboo leaves—this is truly a feast for the eyes and soul. **2:00 PM | Venture into the Green Wonderland** No need to go to crowded attractions; any hiking trail you pick is a secret paradise. The Jianchi Waterfall’s mist is refreshing, and legend says this is where the swords Ganjiang and Moye were forged. The aerial walkway at Dakeng Scenic Area lets you fly like a bird through the bamboo treetops. When tired, relax in a café converted from a Republic of China-era villa, sip a "Moganshan special," and watch clouds rise from the valley. **6:00 PM | The Ritual of a Mountain Feast** Soup made from free-range chicken raised by locals, freshly dug bamboo shoots after the rain, watermelon chilled in the stream... Ingredients travel less than 100 meters from forest to table. No fancy plating, but the flavors are so fresh you want to swallow your tongue along with the food. **9:00 PM | The Long-Lost Starry Sky and Peace** Turn off the lights, and the world is left with only three sounds: insects chirping, the stream flowing, and your own breathing. Look up to see the dazzling Milky Way, extinct in the city. At this moment, all anxiety is blown away by the mountain breeze. **Why must you visit Moganshan at least once?** Because it’s not just a "summer resort," but an energy field where you can "power down and reboot." Here, you can be an adventurer, a foodie, a hermit, or simply nothing—just the simple self who needs rest. **Travel Tips:** - Avoid weekends for a better experience - Stay at least two nights: one day for sightseeing, one day for pure relaxation - Self-driving is most convenient; roll down the window and enjoy the scenery Moganshan never sells just a ticket, but a luxurious time living with nature. Are you ready to set off?

Combining the natural landscape of Moganshan with the rich folk custom of making New Year's cakes, I will focus on the scenes of wood-fired stoves, stone mortars, and neighborly cooperation, using gentle strokes to depict the flavor of the New Year hidden in the aroma of glutinous rice: In the twelfth lunar month, mist drifts over the bamboo forests of Moganshan, enveloping the mountain villages in a warm and comforting atmosphere of the New Year. At this time, wood-fired stoves are set up in the threshing grounds of each village, and neighbors gather around the stone mortars. The "thump-thump" sound of the mallet striking the mortar, along with the sweet aroma of glutinous rice, pierces through the morning mist—this is the New Year's ritual ingrained in the bones of the people of Moganshan—making New Year's cakes. The area around the stove is already bustling with activity. A wooden steamer is placed on a large iron pot. Washed glutinous rice and regular rice are mixed in proportion and spread evenly in the steamer. Firewood burns fiercely in the stove, the orange-red flames illuminating the faces of the farm women. Steam rose gently from the cracks in the wooden bucket, carrying the sweet aroma of grains throughout the village. In just half an hour, the glutinous rice was steamed until soft, sticky, and translucent. The moment the lid was lifted, a burst of white steam erupted, filling the entire threshing ground and drawing the attention of the children who stood on tiptoe to watch. Beside the stone mortar, the main event of pounding rice cakes officially began. Two strong men, each wielding a heavy wooden mallet, took turns pounding the cooked glutinous rice dough in the mortar. Each mallet struck with a deep, powerful thud, and when lifted, the rice dough was pulled up, forming glistening, sticky strands. A woman nearby, quick as a flash, used her water-dipped hands to rapidly turn the rice dough, ensuring even pressure. "One pound, sticky; two pound, chewy; three pound, the rice cake's aroma fills the table," the mallet rose and fell, the initially loose glutinous rice gradually becoming firm and chewy, its aroma growing increasingly rich, prompting the onlookers to frequently swallow. The pounded rice cakes were quickly pinched into evenly sized pieces, and villagers gathered around the worktable, each displaying their skills. Some kneaded them into round rice cake balls, others pressed them into thick rectangular strips, and some skillful women used molds to imprint patterns, or added red dates and red bean paste to create sweet and glutinous fancy rice cakes. Children held the freshly made, hot rice cakes, eagerly taking a bite. The soft, sweet flavor melted on their tongues, burning their tongues but unwilling to let go. Neighbors shared rice cakes, offering each other a bowl of sweet ones and a piece of plain ones, laughter echoing through the mountains, a warm and joyful atmosphere. Making rice cakes in Moganshan is a folk custom steeped in time, a testament to neighborly harmony, and an expression of anticipation for the new year. The aroma of firewood and rice, carrying the scent of the New Year, embodies the simplicity and warmth of the people living in these mountain villages. It allows every traveler returning home in winter to rediscover the purest nostalgia and the taste of reunion in the soft, sweet fragrance. The entire text revolves around the complete process of making New Year's cake, incorporating the natural backdrop of Moganshan and the warmth of neighborly relations, highlighting the sense of folk ritual and the intensity of the New Year's atmosphere. If you would like to add specific village scenes, strengthen details of parent-child interaction, or adjust the writing style to be more vivid, please let me know, and I will refine it further.
