3 Days 2 Nights Tianmu Mountain Travel Guide (Part 1)|Stay in the Tianmu Mountain from Li Bai's Poems, Lie Down and Watch the Sea of Clouds Sunrise!
Day 1: Drive up the mountain, stay in a futuristic space capsule
🚗 Transportation
Depart from Hangzhou, navigate to "Tianmu Mountain Poetry Courtyard" (guests staying at the inn can drive directly up the mountain! Remember to contact the homestay in advance to register your license plate). The winding mountain road has many curves but the scenery is stunning, altitude over 700 meters, the higher you go the cooler it gets~
🏨 Accommodation: Tianmu Cloud Travel Space Capsule Homestay
👉🏻 Recommended room type: Family room (2 beds, 3 floor-to-ceiling windows + starry sky ceiling, fully smart home, smart toilet, every detail is perfect!)
👉🏻 Must experience:
Lie in bed waiting for the sunrise🌄: Open the curtains to see the sea of clouds + sunrise, no need to climb the mountain at all!
Cliff lawn camping: The healing large lawn at the homestay entrance, perfect for photos, 360-degree mountain views, enjoy the breeze, drink tea, watch the sunrise, watch the sunset, count stars⭐, be a mountain leisure person for a day!
🍽️ Dining:
Dinner can be arranged at the homestay! The dishes are rich, including local specialties from Xinchang, reservation required one day in advance. Breakfast is simple, with plain porridge and side dishes + coarse grains, ingredients are very fresh, pickled radish with porridge is very appetizing.
🌄 Nearby activities (within walking distance):
Tianji Platform: Right next to the homestay, a 10-minute climb up the steps to the summit, where there is a giant "Heavenly Rooster." The line from Li Bai's poem "Half the wall sees the sea sun, in the air hears the heavenly rooster" refers to this place! The wind at the summit is strong, but the view is absolutely stunning, a shock that photos can't capture.
💡 Tips:
1️⃣ Big temperature difference on the mountain, bring a light jacket;
2️⃣ Mosquito protection! Mosquito protection! Mosquito protection! (important to say three times);
3️⃣ The family room has a projector, but bring your own membership account~
