Who says you can’t play in the water in summer? Unlock hidden summer activities in Hangzhou! Stream trekking + waterfall check-in + garden camping and BBQ, three great options for you to choose from! 💦 Stream Trekking: Cool off this summer Stream trekking means going upstream along the creek to enjoy the refreshing summer time. Come to this little creek where the water is crystal clear, little fish swim around, and occasionally you can see small crabs crawling on the rocks. Bring water guns and swimsuits, play in the water with your kids, and fully enjoy the summer coolness. 🌊 Waterfall Check-in: Spectacular and breathtaking When you come here, the must-visit spot is the waterfall. The waterfall cascades down from a high cliff, creating a magnificent scene. Stand in front of the waterfall, listen to the roaring water, and feel the power of nature. Take photos on the platform in front of the waterfall for some truly spectacular shots! 🏕 Garden Camping and BBQ: Relaxing and cozy Of course, you can’t miss garden camping and BBQ here. The garden is very beautiful, dotted with flowers and plants, with wooden fences and swing chairs, perfect for photos. Set up a tent here, lay out a picnic mat on the grass, arrange the BBQ grill and food, and enjoy a leisurely and pleasant time. 🛏 Hot Springs Opposite the Homestay: Relax your body and mind Another experience you can’t miss here is soaking in the hot springs. There is a hot spring hotel right opposite the homestay where you can enjoy a relaxing hot spring journey. Soak in the steaming hot springs, listen to the gentle water sounds, and feel your body relax and fatigue disappear. Nearby attractions recommended: Daming Mountain, Valley of the Wind, Sandu Mountain Park Scenic Area, and other spots waiting for you to explore

#mountainview Popular mountain spot of Lin’an county, DamingShan promises gorgeous views, fresh air and a sound of peace. After the entrance,buses drive you up to the hiking trail. You won’t really hike as there are stairs. You’ll come across caves and cross rope bridges. There are some beverage and snack kiosks at the top, but I’d recommend bringing your own lunch. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, take the slide all the way down! It’s such a thrill! P.S: There’s an entrance fee, but I went in April 2020 when access was free. During that time, local authorities were trying to revive inland tourism by offering access to several attractions in Hangzhou city and its surrounding counties free of charge.#mountains#mountaintop#mountainair#mountainescape#mountaingetaway#zhejiang#linan#hiketrip

This huge ski resort is Located in Linan (Daming Mountain) which is about 2 hours drive by bus or you could take the metro (line 5, line 16) to linan square and didi from there. We booked a trip with @Etravel. To get to the top of the mountain the resort has busses that drive you up to the cable cars that are 80¥ p.p one way or you could hike up from the cable cars. When in the cable car you can actually see how high up we are in the mountains. 😱🏔 A lot of thought was put in to the construction of this place. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the snow and the Ski slopes. There is also a huge lake nearby 🥰 First you have to rent your ski gear there are many windows which helps to accommodate a lot of people (to rent equipment is 500¥, you get this back after returning everything). On the second floor there are local food options. After paying for the rental gear you recive a bracelet, you can then go and get all the gear you need, once you get an item they scan your bracelet. We opted for Snowboarding but the queue was very long for Snowboarding shoes, there aren't many equipment for this activity. There are lots of ski gear equipment. There about 5 slopes on there premises, beginner slopes to advanced slopes. The resort has conveyor to be able to conveniently get up the slopes. We had so much fun, we snowboarded for 3.5 hours! I have no experience in Snowboarding and enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend a skiing activity for the winter. #ski #skiing #skiresorts #skiadventure #snow #snowboarding #winter #wintergetaway #wintervibe #winterwonderland #urbanexplorer #urbantraveler #decembertravel

There is a very low-key famous mountain in Hangzhou. It boasts advantages such as the "Steel Great Wall," "hanging plank road," "mirror of the sky," "10,000-meter rock cave train," and "go-karts." When you reach the summit, with rolling clouds beneath your feet and the burning sky above, it is very healing and romantic. You can completely shake off the work stress, put down your "working self," and come to feel the "relaxing mountain breeze"! Moreover, unlike other 4A scenic spots, it has free admission and allows for painless hiking, making it very suitable for a challenge! Seeing this, I believe many people have already guessed that what I want to introduce is Hangzhou Daming Mountain Scenic Area, referred to as Daming Mountain! Looking back at history, we can find that Daming Mountain, also known as Qianmutian, is a branch of the Huangshan Mountains that winds eastward into Zhejiang Province. Its main peak is Daming Peak (also known as Longtou Mountain or Riguan Peak), with an altitude of 1,489.9 meters. Tracing its history, Daming Mountain was first used as a hermitage during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, after a failed uprising, retreated here, slept on a rock, and later engaged in farming, appointed generals, and recruited troops at Qianmutian, leaving behind place names like "Son of Heaven Rock," "General-Appointing Platform," and "Startled Horse Ridge." Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the Ming empire, the mountain was named Daming Mountain, a name that has been passed down to this day. To this day, Hangzhou Daming Mountain can be described as a unique gem. Far from the noisy crowds, you can lean on the railings to look at the valley, watch trees growing in rock crevices, and see clouds moving slower than people. You can also watch the sea of clouds surging up from the valley. The evening breeze and freedom gather in the mountains, helping you fully recover your tense body and mind. For those challenging it for the first time, there are two ways to explore: 01. Hiking tour, takes 6 hours Itinerary: Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Ground Parking Lot > Take the scenic shuttle bus (¥25/person round trip) > Longmen Canyon Trail > Longmen Waterfall > Empress Tree > Longmen Flying Ferry > Mirror of the Sky > Hanging Plank Road > 10,000-meter Rock Cave > Daming Lake > Steel Great Wall > Take the scenic shuttle bus > Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Ground Parking Lot The entire route costs ¥25 for the scenic shuttle bus. You can experience the tranquility of the mountains and the waterfalls and streams with your own two feet. Once you reach the summit, the mountain breeze is refreshing, and the scenery is stunning. This is for friends who love hiking and outdoor adventure! 02. Leisurely tour, takes 3.5 hours Itinerary: Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Ground Parking Lot > Take the scenic shuttle bus (¥25/person round trip) > Cable car up (¥80 one way) > Daming Lake > Hanging Plank Road > 10,000-meter Rock Cave > Mirror of the Sky > Longmen Flying Ferry > Cable car down (¥80 one way) / [Super Slide (¥50/person, to halfway down the mountain) > Mountain Go-karts (¥100 for a combo ticket with the slide)] > Take the scenic shuttle bus > Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Ground Parking Lot Overall, the energy-saving leisure route (cable car up, activities down) is basically easy on the knees, making it very suitable for families with children, couples, or friends who don't want to be too tired. It's a 3.5-hour painless hike! Simply put, the "hiking tour" is suitable for people with a certain level of physical strength and outdoor experience, often suitable for couples and backpackers. The "leisurely tour" is for family trips, group tours, and family outings, suitable for those who just want a painless hike. Note that you can also do a mix of hiking and leisure. Simply put, it's the first half of the "hiking tour" plus the second half of the "leisurely tour," which is a third option. Choose according to your needs. Especially now in autumn, the valley is about to show layers of colorful forests. The yellow of the ginkgo, the red of the maple, and the green of the pine and cypress... will interweave into a "giant oil painting," pushing the autumn atmosphere to a climax. Every frame is a painting, and a casual snapshot makes a great phone wallpaper. In other words, Hangzhou Daming Mountain is worth a visit. With the mountain breeze brushing your face and green mountains in full view, you will feel exceptionally refreshed after the challenge! Transportation Self-driving: You can navigate to "Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Ground Parking Lot," where parking is easy. Public transport: You can take the "Vitality West Zhejiang Line A" tourist bus at the West Square of Hangzhou East Railway Station. It costs about ¥36 one way and takes about 2.5 hours. In terms of time, the outbound trip departs at about 8:30 AM, and the return trip is around 4:00 PM. Visiting information Hangzhou Daming Mountain Scenic Area has free admission.

Spring water flows gently through the shallows: the water source is from Daming Mountain, and the stream is cool and clear. Most of the area is shallow with a rocky bottom, making it safe for children to wade and catch small fish. Adults can set up tables and chairs directly in the water to drink tea and have barbecues. Ideal for family outings, friend gatherings, stream tracing, and camping/barbecuing by the stream; beginner-friendly, very easy, and no need to hike off-piste trails!

The Ming Dynasty, established in 1368 and ended in 1644, lasted for 276 years. The founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, came from humble beginnings and endured a life of hardship, which shaped his unique character unlike other emperors. After establishing the capital in Nanjing, he implemented many new policies in national construction, earning a place in history for "governing as prosperously as the Tang and Song Dynasties." Ming Xiaoling is the joint mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty's founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, built in the 14th year of the Hongwu reign (1381), located on the southern slope of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing. This tomb, constructed in the early Ming period, showcases Zhu Yuanzhang's grand imperial spirit and unique mausoleum construction concepts. Its mausoleum system bridges the past and future: leading the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties into a glorious era in the history of Chinese mausoleum development; today, it jointly steps into the world cultural heritage family. The Ming Dynasty is the realm of Xiaoling, and Xiaoling is the sacred altar of the Ming Dynasty. As a profound and extensive cultural heritage of our motherland, the majestic charm of Ming Xiaoling is passed down through the ages.

In autumn, beautiful scenery is everywhere, each spot a stunning scene worthy of sharing on social media. When you have free time, take a trip to the mountains to truly appreciate the richness of life and enjoy rare moments of leisure! So the question is, where should "workers" go to relax? We recommend the autumn vacation spot for Hangzhou workers—Daming Mountain in Hangzhou, free admission for direct visits, and every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy. If you like it, come and take a trip! We’re talking about Daming Mountain in Hangzhou, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction! Historically, Daming Mountain was also known as Qianmutian. The mountain range runs northeast, covering a total area of 24.7 square kilometers, with the main peak being Qianniugang Daming Peak. According to local records, it is said that during the Tang Xuanzong period, the emperor once lived here in seclusion and wrote a poem expressing his aspirations: “Piercing mountains and stones without hesitation, only those far away know the height of the mountain. Streams and ravines cannot hold me back, I will eventually return to the sea as waves.” Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang, after a failed uprising, came here. Later, during the reclamation period, he ascended a platform to appoint generals, recruit soldiers, train troops, and gather strength before descending the mountain to conquer and establish the Ming dynasty, hence the mountain’s name, Daming Mountain. Now in autumn, Daming Mountain looks like a filtered masterpiece. Walking up the mountain feels like stepping into a giant oil painting. The yellow ginkgo, red maple, and green pine and cypress trees blend layer upon layer, creating the most dazzling backdrop. With the naked eye, the patches of red leaves look like clusters of flickering red flames, pushing the autumn atmosphere to its peak! Moreover, every step in Daming Mountain is a scenic view, every frame a painting. Riding the cable car through the sea of clouds, overlooking the vast mountains covered in golden and crimson hues, every shot is wallpaper-worthy—truly a vacation paradise for "workers"! For first-time visitors, you can follow this route, which takes about 5 hours: Daming Mountain Scenic Area - Main Gate Ground Parking Lot — Daming Mountain Geological Exhibition Hall — Binzhi Bridge — Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Gate — Daming Mountain Scenic Area - Exhibition Center — Mountain Boarding Point [Sightseeing Bus] — Great Wall of Steel — Mirror of the Sky — Senlin Camp — Daming Lake — Super Slide [Optional] — Mountain Karting [Optional] — Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Gate If you are with elderly or children, you can take a more relaxed route, which takes about 3 hours: Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Gate — Mountain Boarding Point [Sightseeing Bus] — Cable Car Up — Mountain Mini Train — Colorful Adventure — Daming Lake — Hanging Walkway — Slide [Optional] — Mountain Karting [Optional] — Daming Mountain Scenic Area - North Gate If you have great stamina, you can hike the entire route. Regardless of the method, Daming Mountain offers a poetic atmosphere with “a scenic view at every step,” allowing "workers" to fully relax and enjoy. Hiking through, the orange-yellow ginkgo leaves fall on the stone steps, crunching underfoot, while the air is filled with the fresh scent of pine needles and wild fruits. Reaching the summit just in time to see the sea of clouds, the crimson mountains appear faintly through the mist, and every photo is wallpaper-quality. In short, autumn at Daming Mountain is a joyful experience all the way—you’ll never get enough!
