📍【Destination】
West Tianmu Mountain - Tree King Scenic Area (Lin'an District, Hangzhou)
🎫【Tickets】
136 RMB/person (Booking online one day in advance can save you the cost of a milk tea; if buying on-site, recite an ancient poem to get 20 RMB off, the poem is easy to memorize~)
🚗【Transportation】
Self-driving can park at Chanyuan Temple parking lot, which is close to the scenic area entrance, 10 RMB/day~
🕘【Opening Hours】

🌿【Hiking Route】(Beginner-friendly uphill version)
✅ Chanyuan Temple → Scenic Area Entrance → One Li Pavilion → Three Li Pavilion → Five Li Pavilion (❗ Nearby there is a convenience store and public restrooms) → Seven Li Pavilion → Gaofeng Pagoda Courtyard → Tree King (Nearby is the “New Tree King,” also very spectacular) → Kaishan Old Hall → Huanzhu Mountain House → Half Moon Pond → Scenic Area Exit (You can take the scenic area shuttle bus🚌, winding mountain road takes 20 minutes, car-sickness sisters don’t play with your phone📱!)
📸【Top Photo Spots】
1️⃣ Tree King: A thousand-year-old Song Dynasty Chinese cedar! The trunk is thick enough for four people to hug, standing under it makes you feel how small humans really are🍃
2️⃣ Five Generations Under One Roof: A ginkgo tree with five generations living together! An elderly lady nearby said it’s breathtakingly beautiful with golden layered leaves in late autumn!!
3️⃣ Four-sided Peak Sea of Clouds: Misty days feel like a fairyland, clear days offer views of overlapping mountain ridges⛰️
4️⃣ Clear Stream: The creek along the way is crystal clear, the sound of water is healing~
💡【Tips from Experience】
⚠️ Wear non-slip shoes and bring a hiking stick! The stone steps are mossy and slippery after rain~
⚠️ Travel light! Bring enough water + energy bars (the only supply point is at Five Li Pavilion, which has a convenience store)
⚠️ There are hardly any mosquitoes this season, but be careful of other insects in the grass!
🙋🏻‍♀️【Real Experience】
Entering the scenic area feels like stepping into a primeval forest! The energy of thousand-year-old trees hits you immediately, every breath is a negative ion cleanse~ Personally, I think the ticket price is very worth it, perfect for those wanting to escape city noise and breathe deeply while hiking!🌲
Low commercialization + pure ecological authenticity, reverse rush during National Day is the way to go!💨
