Moganshan Hidden Play Guide Revealed! Avoid the Crowds and Enjoy the Entire Bamboo Sea Like a Fairy Tale

💡Why Moganshan?
A "natural air-conditioned room" just 1 hour drive from Hangzhou
Not just trendy homestays! Hidden Republic of China-era villas deep in the bamboo forest, secret waterfalls
These are the truly worth-repeating healing experiences~

🚗【Transportation Tips】
✅ High-speed train from Hangzhou/Shanghai to Deqing Station + taxi up the mountain
✅ Winding mountain roads are tricky for beginners! Recommend chartering a car with an experienced driver
✅ Electric scooters are recommended in the mountains, freely weaving through the breeze

🌳【Off-the-Beaten-Path Routes · Avoid the Crowds】
Day 1: Deep Republic of China Filter Tour
▫️ Yucun Cultural Market
An artistic street area transformed from an old bus station under the phoenix trees
Enjoy hand-brewed coffee in the Republic of China library, watch pigeons circle the clock tower
Free open-air movies in the evening at the square, atmosphere is perfect

▫️ Baiyunshan Pavilion Secret Spot
Where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling honeymooned! 10 times less crowded than Sword Pool
Greek-style colonnades + century-old camphor trees, perfect spots for wedding photos

Day 2: Immersive Bamboo Forest Healing
▫️ Biwu Longtan Wild Hiking
Free pristine canyon! Crystal-clear streams where you can catch small fish and shrimp
Reach the end to unlock a hidden waterfall, the mist instantly cools the air by 10℃

▫️ Yiyuan Farm Healing Moment
Feed New Zealand dairy cows + pick organic strawberries (seasonal)
Take photos in front of haystacks with a Miyazaki-style vibe, your social feed will explode with questions about the location

🏡【Accommodation Picks】
→ First choice: "Mid-mountain designer homestay": 270° floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking rolling bamboo seas
→ Backup: "Republic of China villa converted hotel": Sleep in the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek’s chief guard
→ Avoid: Farm stays at the foot of the mountain have poor sound insulation, choose higher spots for true tranquility

🍜【Mountain and Wild Delicacies】
✔ Must-eat: Bamboo forest chicken pot (soup so fresh your eyebrows will fall off), wild bamboo shoots stir-fried with salted vegetables
✔ Hidden gem: Moganshan beer (local craft brew with osmanthus fragrance)
✔ Souvenirs: Dried bamboo shoots, Huangya tea (make sure to buy from intangible cultural heritage inheritor shops)

📸【Top Photo Spots】
1️⃣ Xuguangtai Sea of Clouds: Stake out sunrise at 6 AM, clouds flow beneath your feet
2️⃣ Dakeng Scenic Area Suspension Bridge: Aerial shots look like a white ribbon in a green ocean
3️⃣ Laoling Rice Field Train: Green train carriages + golden rice waves, summer exclusive

💡【Hard-earned Tips】
Wear light-colored clothes! Stand out in the bamboo forest photos

Bring mosquito repellent! Mountain mosquitoes are more vicious than rivals

Visit on weekdays! Homestay prices are cut in half

Rainy days are even better! Clouds and mist swirl, fairy-tale atmosphere maxed out

Instead of squeezing into crowded trendy spots,
dive into the green of Moganshan and be a wild person~ 🍃
