[Moganshan | A Long Letter to Summer from Bamboo Forest and Mist]

Located among the mountains of northern Zhejiang, Moganshan resembles a secret green realm carved by clouds and wind. Winding mountain paths weave bamboo and broadleaf forests into a crisscross landscape. Sunlight filters through the branches, dappling the paths and bluestone steps, like light dancing in the mountains. The air is mingled with the delicate fragrance of earth and bamboo leaves. A deep breath feels as if the hustle and bustle of the city is far away.

Morning mist shrouds the mountain forest, and dewdrops condensed on bamboo leaves glimmer in the dim light. Birdsong pierces the mist, echoing the gurgling of streams in the distant valley. Strolling along the bluestone paths, you'll occasionally stumble upon mountain guesthouses or abandoned old houses, their rustic wooden doors and roofs looming in the morning mist, like a tranquil watercolor painting. The afternoon sun is warm but not glaring, and the valley's layers of green are distinct. A gentle breeze caresses the bamboo forest, creating a dance of light and shadow. The interweaving of forest trails, stone bridges, and streams creates a soothing experience. At dusk, the setting sun paints the mountains and bamboo forests a cacophony of golden and orange. Clouds drift across the mountainside like a veil, softening the distant mountain outlines. Truly breathtaking, it's the B&B or bamboo cottage perched high in the clouds. Sitting by the window, you can admire the distant mountains, bamboo forests, and the sunset glow, and the breeze caressing your cheeks, seemingly washing away the day's fatigue.

If time permits, follow the hiking or cycling trails of Moganshan, passing through bamboo forests, tea plantations, and small villages, and experience the light and tranquility of the mountains. You'll understand then: Moganshan is not just a resort destination, but a poem composed of bamboo, mist, and mountain scenery. Every breath you take can feel the rhythm of the mountains.
