Jiande Hidden Gem

Jiande Hidden Gem! The "Vietnam substitute" on the cliff—if you don’t go soon, it will be overcrowded

Who would have thought! A hidden treasure spot near Hangzhou has been discovered—Jiande Maling Tianguan. Posting pictures on social media will have people asking if you’ve gone abroad!

Here lies a golden Buddha’s hand bridge built on a high mountain cliff, with the same stunning impact as Da Nang, Vietnam. No need to fly thousands of kilometers; you can check it out right in Zhejiang. Standing in the palm of the Buddha’s hand, below you are misty mountains, and every casual shot can go viral on social media. The aerial view is absolutely breathtaking.

Here’s a tested and useful travel guide with two routes for different types of visitors—just follow blindly:

- Brave Route (about 5 hours): Hump Harley → Crazy Racer → Cloud Ladder No.1 → Little Arhat Forest Park → Squirrel Tribe → Cloud Ladders No.2 and No.3 → Via Ferrata → Buddha’s Hand Bridge → Wanfuding Peak → Mirror of the Sky → Cliff Scream Rafting → Four Seasons Dry Slide → Step by Step Thrill → High-altitude Zipline. Especially the “loser version of Via Ferrata,” the almost vertical cliff climbing is super thrilling, and the sense of achievement at the summit is off the charts.
- Lazy/Family Route: If you don’t want to climb, just take Cloud Ladders No.4 and No.5 straight to the Buddha’s Hand Bridge at the summit. It’s painless and easy for kids, perfect for the lazy ones.

Be sure to try these must-experience activities: cliff glass rafting spiraling down from the top, cool and no worries about getting wet; Mirror of the Sky at the highest point on the mountain offers a perfect view for beautiful photos, making every shot a travel masterpiece.
