2023 Lin'an Summer Cooling and Water Fun Trip

DAY1️⃣:
🏯 Lin'an Museum (800 Tianmu Road)
Lin'an Museum is located in Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, and was designed under the leadership of Wang Shu, dean of the School of Architecture and Design at China Academy of Art.
The museum adopts the half-landscape structure of Song Dynasty painter Li Tang, integrating local Lin'an bricks, tiles, and rammed earth features, expressing the artistic conception of "the Qian family guarding a southeastern garden during wartime."
As the saying goes, "A museum is a university." Entering a museum, we seem to travel through thousands of years and step into fascinating historical stories...
Lin'an Museum is an encyclopedia of the history of the Wu and Yue Kingdoms, with countless treasures such as secret color porcelain and Five Dynasties jade, carrying the history of Lin'an and the past of Wu and Yue.
When flowers bloom on the path, one can slowly return... Walking into Lin'an Museum, wandering among black brick walls, earthen walls, and wooden hanging stairs, you learn about the long-sealed history of Wu and Yue!
🏨 Hangzhou Qianwang Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel (518 Chengzhong Street)
🍲 Dinner: Lin'an Feast · When Returning (926 Tianmu Road)
Must-try signature dish: Bamboo Shoot and Old Duck Pot, an authentic local flavor certified by locals~

DAY2️⃣:
⛩️ Qianwang Mausoleum (338 Yijin Street)
Explore the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with beautiful red walls perfect for photos
🏨 Stay at Sandu joy&in Mountain Village Resort (Longjing Village, Longgang Town)
🌄 Heqiao Town
The ancient town is built along the stream, known as "Heqiao" because of many rivers and bridges, with a history of over a thousand years. It remains a simple and quiet village without much commercial atmosphere.
Arriving at Heqiao at dusk, under the twilight, the flowing stream and distant picturesque mountains make it seem like a fairyland! Our family of four walked across the wooden bridge, becoming part of the painting💕
🍴 Dinner: Longjingyuan Restaurant (Longjing Gorge Rafting Branch)

DAY3️⃣:
🌳 Zhejiang West Dalong Bay Scenic Area
Our guesthouse is located deep in the Longjing Line of Longgang Town, right at the entrance of Zhejiang West Dalong Bay Scenic Area! After breakfast, we followed the mountain road in the scenic area and stopped at a clear pool. The stream water was clear and cool, with small fish swimming by... Soaking our feet in the water was refreshing, instantly cooling off the summer heat. But because the rocks were slippery and dangerous, we didn’t let the kids move around much; they just sat on the stones playing with water guns, while the three dads happily caught fish in the water...
🌊 Must-try activities:
✔️ Sandu Cliff Rafting - Thrilling! Screaming!
✔️ Longjing Gorge Rafting - Best for families, super fun water fights💦

💡 Tips:
1️⃣ Bring a change of clothes and waterproof phone bag for rafting
2️⃣ Book guesthouses in advance during the July-August peak season
3️⃣ Museums are closed on Mondays, don’t go in vain
