Listen up, everyone!! I recently discovered an amazing weekend getaway near Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai💥: a forest of bamboo, a mountaintop pool, and a private thatched cottage! For just over ¥300 per person, you can stay in a real-life enchanted forest!! (Includes freebies guide)
📍 Grand New Century Hotel Lao Zhuang Mountain Anji

You have to see it to believe it! I literally gasped when I drove into the mountains!!
✔️ Surrounded by mountains on three sides with a 10-acre lake! A 700-acre natural oxygen bar!
✔️ Infinity pool on the hillside 🏊♀️ Reach out and touch the sea of clouds
✔️ Sampans/bamboo forest stone bridges/misty forest 🌫️ A perfect recreation of a xianxia drama scene
✔️ Every room is a private thatched cottage 🌾 Open the window to a sea of bamboo!!
💥【Immersive Experience Guide】
1️⃣ Take a free sampan ride on the lake 🚣♀️ The atmosphere is amazing when the mist is lingering
2️⃣ Be a tea-picking girl for a day! Carry a bamboo basket and pick Anji white tea on the mountain 🍃
