| Chinese Golden Larch Forest Park. 🎈It's the most beautiful season of the year again—autumn. Today, I'm recommending a place to see fall foliage that's only 1.5 hours from Shanghai👉Chinese Golden Larch Forest Park.
 
📍Address: Anji, Huzhou
🕙Opening hours: 8:30 am–5 pm
💴Ticket price: Peak season (October–November) CNY 58, off season CNY 28. Be sure to buy tickets in advance.
 
🚗Transportation: I highly recommend driving there. Just search for "Chinese Golden Larch Forest Park" in your map app. However, you can't drive into the park. You can park at the entrance parking lot (CNY 5/hour, CNY 30 max).
 
👣Tour route:
The whole route is about 5 km, and takes about 2 hours to walk. The highest altitude is 870 m, with a total climb of 270 m. If you don't want to walk, you can take the sightseeing bus. I suggest entering from the left side of the entrance, as the road is relatively flat and there are more photo spots.
 
✨Travel tips:
💡There are more people on weekends, so you can park at the entrance of the village and walk to the scenic area entrance to buy tickets.
💡There are no snacks or restaurants in the scenic area, so it's best to eat at the foot of the mountain or bring your own food.
💡It's very close to Anji Yunshang Grassland, about a 30-minute drive. If you have time, you can visit both.
💡There are no restrooms on the mountain, only at the entrance, so be prepared.
💡Golden larch is listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Please protect the environment, don't litter, and don't damage the trees.
 
🏨Recommended hotel: Anji Yaojia Midsummer Dream Wild Luxury Country Hotel
🌟Location: Located in the mountains and bamboo forests of Anji, it's a quiet and private resort.
🌟Style: Southeast Asian buildings with thatched roofs, each with an independent courtyard. The wild luxury design is a visual feast.
🌟Room size: 12 buildings with 22 rooms, independent living rooms and terraces, outdoor bathtubs outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and great views of the mountains and tea gardens.
🌟Review: It's like Soneva Jani in the Maldives, which is why it's called "Little Maldives in the Secret Land."
🌟Highlights: Rich facilities, beautiful surroundings, suitable for everyone.
 
😉Hurry up and catch the end of autumn at Chinese Golden Larch Forest Park!
