Taking kids here is even more fun than Disneyland
Come to Tonglu to play~😜 The water in Tonglu is simply stunning, with blue-green colors like a world in a painting! We played in the streams, enjoyed the amusement park, and visited the Daqishan Forest Park, having an incredibly happy three days!
🔹🔹Three-day, two-night itinerary🔹🔹
Day1⃣️ Self-drive from Suzhou to Hangzhou Tonglu ➡️ Lumei Line for water play
Day2⃣️ OMG Heartbeat Park
Day3⃣️ Daqishan Forest Park ➡️ Return trip
💦Water Play
Along the Lumei Line, there are small streams. We mainly chose two spots for water play: 📍 In front of the Yanduo Resort Mountain Lodge, where the water is shallow and perfect for kids. Shishe Village and Lutz Village are also good for water play, but it's a bit sunny; the water play spots here have shade, and there are places to eat nearby. Kids can play in the stream while parents relax under the shade, making it a leisurely experience! 📍 One Tea One Seat, where there are bamboo rafts for playing and great photo opportunities. If you dine there, you can play in the water for free.
🎠OMG Heartbeat Park (Pics 12 - 18)
There are many fun activities here, and the walking distance is really short! You can take a boat, ride the sky ladder, or ride the Pegasus to climb the mountain. See Pic 18 for the specific route. Suitable activities for kids include: ✔️ Chuiyun Tongtian River: Take a boat into the underground cave ✔️ Tianlu Flying Car: Super fun to drive, and you can control the speed yourself ✔️ Lingkong Piaoyue: A glass walkway drift in the air, with a gentle slope ✔️ Tianma Xingkong: Ride the carousel up the mountain easily

A Green Haven in the Mountains: An Adventure in Daqi Mountain
Daqi Mountain, located in Zhejiang Province, is a natural treasure that attracts countless nature lovers with its beautiful landscapes and pristine forests. As you step into Daqi Mountain, you are greeted by fresh air and lush greenery, with the entire mountain exuding the essence of nature, making you instantly forget the hustle and bustle of city life.
What impressed me the most were the hiking trails here. Following the stone paths winding through the mountains, you are surrounded by dense vegetation and babbling streams. Along the way, you can hear the birds singing and the sound of flowing water, as if you have entered a natural concert. Although the highest peak of Daqi Mountain is not very steep, the expansive view from the top is refreshing and exhilarating. The overlapping mountain ranges and distant lakes nestled in the valleys resemble a picturesque landscape painting.
In addition to the natural scenery, the mountain is also home to numerous historical and cultural relics, such as ancient villages and stone carvings, adding depth to the journey. Experiencing the traces of history amidst the embrace of nature is a rare dual enjoyment of culture and nature.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang surrounding tour - Tonglu · Daqishan (Free guide) ||| Reminder: The pictures have filters, please refer to them with caution! (It's also beautiful to the naked eye, just me. When I went, the weather wasn't ideal, so the original picture was a bit dim and I habitually adjusted the color)
Tonglu, a place super suitable for self-driving tours. Finally got a driver during this National Day holiday, so I quickly arranged it. However, before departure, I was worried about the weather again, and I checked the weather forecast repeatedly. Fortunately, I decided to go ahead anyway. I have to say, sometimes I do have some travel luck.
It was morning when I arrived at Daqishan, cloudy, with the sun appearing and disappearing from time to time. I originally planned to go directly to the popular attractions, but halfway through, I saw some different opinions, so I changed my route temporarily. I referred to the travel guide route of another blogger (screenshot at the end). Daqishan observation platform, overlooking the distance, excellent view, you can take photos and check in as you like. Then navigate to Shanshui Renjia Restaurant, walk a little further and there is a convenience store and parking lot, next to it is a small garden, flowers are in full bloom, you can take photos as a souvenir. After passing through the small garden, after crossing the bridge, there are gurgling streams and dense forests on both sides, and you can see signs pointing to different attractions. Along the stream, you can spread a mat or bring a camping chair to enjoy the fun of camping, or you can play in the stream.

This is actually near Hangzhou!! Beautiful to the point where I can't breathe.
Finally went to Tonglu, which I've been thinking about for a long time~
Green mountains, waterfalls, sapphire lake, amazing caves⋯
Beautiful like a fairyland~ No wonder it's the most beautiful county seat in China, as rated by National Geographic as "the best travel destination in the world"~
【One-day itinerary for Tonglu】

📍Daqi Mountain National Forest Park
The whole hike is very friendly, and you don't have to worry about getting lost. Just follow the trail uphill and you'll see the waterfall and lake~
Be sure to choose a sunny day to come. The lake looks like a glowing sapphire when captured on a phone camera. The koi fish on the surface seem to be swimming freely in the air. You can also see a rainbow under the waterfall. No wonder it's called "Little Jiuzhaigou of Hangzhou"~
🐟If you want to take pictures of fish schools, remember to buy a bag of fish food or bring some bread~
📍Yaolin Fairyland
As soon as you reach the cave entrance, you'll feel a refreshing coolness. This is a natural karst cave. The stalactites inside are beautifully illuminated by colorful lights.

Tonglu Daqishan National Forest Park | Fragrant flowers and clear scenery, a paradise on earth.
| Fragrant flowers and clear scenery, a paradise on earth. Daqishan National Forest Park has experienced a quiet environment for everyone. It's so comfortable!
✴️Bamboo path leading to a secluded place➡️Happy Forest➡️Stone Garden Valley➡️Waterfall Curtain➡️Step Cloud Pavilion➡️Iron Chain Bridge➡️Stone House➡️Knowledge Youth Canal➡️Flying Squirrel in the Forest➡️Golden Bull Pool➡️Exit
⛰️I think these places are very beautiful, so don't miss them when you come here!
🍁Bamboo path leading to a secluded place
🍂A large area of bamboo forest at the entrance and exit, very photogenic! The air is particularly fresh, and the road is easy to walk, suitable for taking pictures and stopping and going.
🍁Waterfall Curtain
🍂The online super popular koi pond is here, the photos here are beautiful and photogenic, and the scenery is really beautiful! On one side is a cliff waterfall, on the other side is a pool of turquoise water like Jiuzhaigou, and in the middle is a brick-paved waterway, which is simply a dreamlike scene. However, during the dry season in winter, the waterfall flow is relatively small, but the turquoise pool next to it is still beautiful, crystal clear, and koi swim in the pool.
🍁Various bridges along the way
🍂Daqishan's various small bridges are very individual and fun. Some bamboo woven bridges, walking on them swaying, is a unique experience that other places do not have.
🍁Small pools and waterfalls along the way
🍂The uphill route is close to the canyon, so you can see many streams, pools and waterfalls along the way. The stream here is crystal clear, the pool is turquoise and transparent, the waterfall splashes, even if you are climbing a mountain, you have the feeling of wading and playing in the water, and you will not be bored on the road.
🍁Flying Squirrel in the Forest
🍂Climbing to the Stone House is closer to the top of the mountain. If you continue to climb, you can climb to the waterfall of Daqishan, but there is only a small waterfall at the top of the mountain, and it will be tiring to climb all the way up. I chose to walk along the Knowledge Youth Canal, walk a short flat road and downhill road, and then came to the starting point of the Flying Squirrel in the Forest. Flying Squirrel in the Forest is a small roller coaster in the jungle, you can also bring your dog with you, it takes only one or two minutes to reach the bottom, fun and exciting!
✔️It takes about 1.5 hours to reach the Stone House, and it takes about half an hour to add the Flying Squirrel and downhill.
✔️No backtracking on the entire route
✔️The entrance says no medium or large dogs allowed, but corgis are allowed during the off-season
✔️Tickets cannot be purchased online at present, please purchase directly at the entrance
✔️Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit, the scenery is twice as beautiful

The Beauty of Tonglu, Don't Miss It Everyone!!
Two Days and One Night Leisure Tour in Tonglu - A Deep Experience
Introduction:
Finally, I set foot in the beautiful county town of Tonglu, which was praised by National Geographic magazine as one of the "Best Travel Destinations in the World." My heart was full of regret for "why did I come here so late" and deep amazement at this land. If you are still troubled by not knowing where to go for the upcoming holiday, why not follow my footsteps and explore the tranquility and beauty hidden on the edge of the city.
Day One: The Perfect Blend of Nature and Ancient Charm
Morning Departure:
At 8 a.m., we set off from Hangzhou. It takes only half an hour by high-speed train or a little over an hour by car to easily reach Tonglu. Upon arrival, the exploration journey of nature and ancient villages officially begins.
Daqishan National Forest Park:
In the morning, our first stop was Daqishan National Forest Park. This treasure, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Jiangnan," seems like an oxygen bar meticulously carved by nature. Waterfalls cascade down, the ponds are as blue as mirrors, and koi fish swim leisurely, creating a dreamy scene of "floating in the air with nothing to rely on." Walking along the forest paths, breathing in the fresh air, families with children can also easily enjoy the fun of hiking. It takes about an hour to reach the waterfall at the top of the mountain, feeling the shock and coolness.
Shishe Village: A Tranquil Ancient Village:
Next, we stepped into Shishe Village, which has a history of over four hundred years. This village, named for its abundance of stones, is surrounded by water on three sides and embraced by mountains, with lush green trees, resembling a paradise. The village has only about a hundred households but cleverly integrates ancient paths, homestays, coffee shops, handicraft shops, and intangible cultural heritage snacks, retaining the simple and tranquil village style while not lacking modern life's convenience and comfort.
Maling Ancient Path: A Hiking Journey Connecting Ancient and Modern Times:
In the afternoon, we embarked on the Maling Ancient Path, a 3.5-kilometer-long path connecting Shishe Village and Maoping Village. The path is paved with stone steps, shaded by green trees, and adorned with wildflowers. On one side is a gurgling mountain spring with flower petals floating along with the water; on the other side is a hillside, where you can overlook the tranquil beauty of Shishe Village from a high place, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Maoping Village: The Gentle Beauty in Fuchun Mountains and Waters:
Continuing forward, we arrived at Maoping Village. This village is nestled by mountains and rivers, with ancient trees, ancient bridges, and ancient paths reflecting the clear Lutz Creek water. The white-walled and black-tiled houses are scattered in an orderly manner, surrounded by clear streams, presenting a gentle and jade-like pastoral picture.
Lutz Village (Optional):
Although Lutz Village is across the river from Yan Ziling Fishing Platform, due to its high degree of commercialization, it is more like a gathering place for farmhouses. Unless you are particularly interested, it can be an optional attraction.
Food Recommendations:
In the evening, why not taste the local specialties, such as rice sieve climbing, Fuchun River fish, stir-fried bacon with spring bamboo shoots, and authentic zongzi, letting your taste buds also immerse in this nature and simplicity.
Day Two: Leisure Time by Fuchun River
Fuchun River Cruise:
On the second day, we woke up naturally and, after breakfast, headed to the Fuchun River. Considering the cost-effectiveness, we gave up the expensive cruise project but chose Jiangnan Longmen Bay on the opposite bank. Here, the duck boats can be self-operated, costing 80 yuan per person, enjoying an hour of boating fun. With fewer people and beautiful scenery, you can play for an entire afternoon. Besides boating, you can also visit the digital museum in the park, feeling the ingenious integration of technology and nature.
Conclusion:
The two days and one night leisure tour in Tonglu made us deeply feel the harmonious coexistence of nature and ancient charm. Whether it is the fresh and refined Daqishan, the simple and tranquil Shishe Village, or the leisurely time by the Fuchun River, all make people linger. If you also long to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a pure land for your soul, then Tonglu is definitely worth your repeated visits.

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.

Daqi Mountain
Daqi Mountain National Forest Park is located in Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, on the south bank of the Fuchun River, and is a national comprehensive forest park. It is also known as 'Saiji Mountain' and historically called 'the first famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River'. At the foot of Daqi Mountain, there is a pond called 'Jinniu Tan'. June is the best time to visit Tonglu Daqi Mountain, and at this time, Daqi Mountain truly lives up to the 'Qi' (meaning 'remarkable') in its name, being both peculiar and wonderful. There is an abundance of water in the mountains, and one can encounter a pond or stumble upon a waterfall at almost every turn. The ponds, large or small, are like pieces of translucent emerald green jade, while the waterfalls, whether swift or gentle, resemble elegant veils of light gauze.
