Tonglu · Hangzhou In Tonglu, every inch of landscape is filled with poetic charm! The Fuchun River winds through the area like a green ribbon, connecting the ancient charm of Yanziling Fishing Platform, the tranquility of Baiyunyuan, and the magic of Yaolin Wonderland. Here, there's no urban hustle and bustle, only the sounds of birdsong and the gentle breeze, surrounded by picturesque scenery. Stepping into Tonglu is like stepping into Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," embarking on a poetic journey for the soul, and encountering a dreamlike pastoral paradise. Seek tranquility and enjoy serenity—Tonglu is such a place. Stroll along the banks of the Fuchun River, watch the water flow gently, and listen to the rhythmic sounds of oars. Time seems to slow down here. There are no hurried footsteps, no heavy pressures, only the tranquility of the mountains and the gentleness of the water. In the landscapes of Tonglu, rediscover inner peace and find the true beauty of life.

Tonglu, Hangzhou is perfect for self-driving. Main attractions Daqishan, Yaolin Wonderland, Baiyunyuan, Chuoyun Tongtianhe. Daqishan and Baiyunyuan are landscapes, while Yaolin Wonderland and Chuoyun Tongtianhe are underground caves. Recommended combination: Baiyunyuan + Chuoyun Tongtianhe. Baiyunyuan The road in Baiyunyuan Scenic Area is relatively narrow, so be careful when driving. From the entrance of the scenic area, the scenery is beautiful, and the stream is crystal clear. There are many waterfalls along the way, especially the waterfall of Dalongmen, which flows down from the mountain in a winding way. Looking up to find its source, you can only see it hidden in the green trees, giving you unlimited imagination. The stone arch bridge under your feet feels like the Little Seven Arches of Libo. Chuoyun Tongtianhe Chuoyun Tongtianhe requires a boat ride to enter. The entrance to the cave is very wide, so be careful not to bump your head. There is also water dripping from the ceiling of the cave, so a hat would be helpful. After a short boat ride, there is a lift that will take you to the next level of the underground river. The cave looks like a forest or an underwater world. It is very spacious and has unique scenery. Then find a good resort hotel to relax! This is a replica of Huang Gongwang's painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" from the Yuan Dynasty. Spring is the most beautiful time to visit. It has the misty and rainy charm of Jiangnan, as well as the bright sunshine of cherry blossoms in full bloom. This Conrad Hangzhou Tonglu Hotel is perfect for a vacation. I have been here twice, and it is truly my paradise away from the world~

With the Hangzhou Culture and Tourism Card, you can enter this scenic spot for unlimited times. There were no other tourists in the scenic spot today, just the six of us, so the scenic area was very quiet. From the entrance of the scenic area to the largest Longmen Waterfall inside, it is 6 kilometers. Most tourists take the scenic area bus in and out (CNY 20 per person). We like to hike, so we walk in and out. We play and enjoy various large and small waterfalls along the trail in the scenic area, rest and play by the pool, and it is really comfortable without being disturbed by others.

Over the weekend, I took my child to Tonglu. I have to say, Tonglu is truly a paradise for kids. Besides the outdoor mountain Disney, there are many water trekking spots in Tonglu.

Underrated Tonglu | How to have fun in two days? Lazy man’s guide version! This guide is more suitable for friends who have 🐕, want to lie down, love playing in the water, and have children with them for a relaxing trip! ⚠️July is too hot in summer, not suitable for Zoumaling Ancient Trail and Shishe Village, it is easy to get heatstroke 🥵The right solution is to play in the water along the stream under the woods! 🚗Shanghai-Tonglu = 3.5h self-driving (depart after lunch, arrive around 4 o'clock, just in time for water play, self-driving is recommended, taxis are inconvenient) ✅ Tour route: DAY1: Qinxi Xianggu (water play)-Yaolin National Forest Park (mountain view)-B&B-starry sky at night DAY2: Lumei Line Stream Tracing (you can go to Baiyunyuan/Daqishan here)-Luci Village (lunch)-Qinglongwu Fangyukong Capsule Bookstore-return to Shanghai 1⃣Qinxi Xianggu: 🎫60, about 1.5h to walk, Zhuangyuan Cave is particularly cool, and it is a karst cave like Yaolin Wonderland, but the road inside is steep and you have to climb stairs, which is not suitable for the elderly and children. The road in the scenic area is very flat, with bamboo forests and streams along the way. The waterfall cafe in the woods feels like Phuket, where you can take beautiful photos and check in~ 2⃣ Lutz Village: There is a large stream from shallow to deep, suitable for bringing babies, swimming and boating. Our focus is eating~ 3⃣Lumei Line: Navigate to Baiyunyuan Baiyun Road Intersection Bus Station. There are many pools along the way. The water is very clean and you can jump and step on the water, but it is difficult to park! (very challenging driving skills) Remember to wear a swimsuit👙~ 4⃣Fangyukong Capsule Bookstore, the bookstore has large floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful wooden architecture. It is at the end of Qinglongwu Village. The village next to it is quaint and you can visit it. It is perfect for drinking coffee and reading books in a quiet corner on a summer afternoon. 😋Food: I have eaten at [Jinfu Restaurant] next to Lutz Village twice in a row. The scallion oil silver carp and fish head soup are both delicious. It feels like a farmhouse. The fried brook fish is also very delicious. It is delicious and not expensive! 🏠Accommodation: We chose a 🐕friendly B&B, [Zeyuan Yunshe], which is halfway up the mountain. There is a large swimming pool outdoors. The room overlooks a bamboo forest, and you can see the Milky Way when you go out at night. It is very close to Yaolin Wonderland, Tonglu Rafting, and Baiyun Village. The boss is super nice. He waited for us until very late at night before leaving. The steamed buns for breakfast are really good 👍👍

||🌸Looking for a place that has both beautiful scenery and delicious food to relax? Then come to Tonglu! Today, I will bring you a super simple Tonglu travel guide, and by the way, recommend the culinary paradise there—the Laogeming Restaurant's Sauce Pepper Whitefish!📝 🌳First, explore the natural beauty of Tonglu 1⃣ Fuchun River Bank: Stroll along the bank of the Fuchun River, feel the clear ripples, and the green trees on both sides, as if you are in a landscape painting.🌊 2⃣ Yaolin Wonderland: Explore this natural cave, with its variously shaped stalactites and colorful lights, as if entering a mysterious fairyland.🌈 3⃣ Daqi Mountain National Forest Park: Hike through Daqi Mountain, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy the greenery that fills your eyes, letting your soul completely relax.🌳 🍽Second, taste the Sauce Pepper Whitefish at Laogeming Restaurant After a day of fun, how can you miss the company of delicious food?

It's Tonglu, Hangzhou! It's Baiyun Source❗️ The beautiful scenery reflected in the water, where the mountains and waters blend into one. I thought that there were already few visitors to Daqi Mountain, but it turns out that the flow of visitors to Baiyun Source is even less. Compared to Fuchun River, Baiyun Source is indeed less sought after! There is almost no commercialization here, no overdevelopment, very pristine. It retains the serene scenery undisturbed by crowds, somewhat like the Jiuxi area of West Lake, but even more unspoiled. Just the mountain road leading to the scenic area, with its surrounding scenery, is enough to refresh the spirit. And when you step into Baiyun Source, what comes at you is the saturated green of the mountains and trees reflected in the pond water, as if you have entered the Emerald City of Oz, momentarily unable to distinguish between reality and a painting.

Avoid the holidays and come to Tonglu, the final stop is Baiyunyuan. At noon, we had lunch at the Nature Restaurant halfway up the mountain, and received a discount notice for the scenic area from the boss. We walked and played along the way until we reached the entrance of the scenic area. The ticket includes a sightseeing car, which stops at two waterfalls in total, one small Longmen and one big Longmen. The hiking time for the small Longmen is relatively long, and the valley for two people is too quiet, can't stand it... After dropping off passengers, the driver will wait at the hiking endpoint of Xiaolongmen to pick up people before heading to the next stop, Dalongmen. The Great Dragon Gate is quite shocking, and after seeing it, I didn't climb any further. Baiyunyuan is fun and not crowded, suitable for relaxing.
