Tonglu is beautiful, but I really don't recommend coming during the summer vacation!

Tonglu truly deserves its reputation as the most beautiful county recommended by National Geographic. Especially recently, Tonglu is like a huge green energy field with incredible lasting appeal, definitely worth visiting multiple times👍

🚗 Self-driving: Highly recommended! Driving between scenic spots is more convenient and reduces travel fatigue~
🚄 High-speed rail: Tonglu Station (near downtown), Tonglu East Station (near Dipu Flower Sea area)

🏠 Accommodation Suggestions
🔹 Downtown center: Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel, convenient transportation, easy for night tours along the Fuchun River.

🔸 Valid ID, student ID, discount cards, driver's license, etc.
🔸 Daily necessities: skincare products, cosmetics, sunscreen, etc.
