❤Recommended Reasons:
Who says Hangzhou is only about West Lake! Lin'an Prince Peak is the hidden king✨ (No filters, straight original photos! Few people, beautiful scenery, quick trip)
You can reach the sea of clouds campsite in just 1.5 hours Tent + starry sky + sunrise all in one shot📸
🔥Why Recommend
The top of the three peaks in western Zhejiang! A wild paradise at 1557m elevation
Pitch your tent in the clouds☁️ The power line tower is actually a divine photo spot
📍Address here
Hualang Line, Lin'an District, Hangzhou (Navigate directly to "Prince Peak")
🚗 Driving tip: The mountain road has many sharp turns, beginners beware!
It’s recommended to park at the mid-mountain inn for a lighter hike
⛺️Must-visit spots
1️⃣ Summit camping area
Set up your tent on the cliff edge, and in the early morning, open the tent flap to a rolling sea of clouds!
⚠️ Remember to bring windproof ropes, the strong wind can turn your tarp into a kite
2️⃣ Power line tower viewing platform
Unexpectedly, the high-voltage tower is a hidden photography spot!
Shoot silhouettes at sunset for a western movie vibe in minutes📸
🧗♀️Real experience
• The trail is all gravel! Non-slip shoes + trekking poles are a lifesaving combo
• The inn sells water but it’s expensive, bring 2L of water which is just enough for the round trip
• The fierce wind at the summit can blow wigs off, keep your warm jacket firmly on
💡Off-the-beaten-path tips
Night hike to see the Milky Way → wait for sunrise at dawn → go back to sleep
(Don’t ask how I know, just know it’s freezing but worth it. Check the weather forecast for the sea of clouds, it’s not guaranteed.)
