Day 1: Leave work on Friday and depart from Shanghai. Take the high-speed train for an hour and a half to Tonglu Station and choose to stay near the high-speed rail station. 😊 Day 2: Visit Daqi Mountain National Forest Park, which is very close to the high-speed rail station, just a 10-minute taxi ride away, very convenient. Since it is the off-season now, there are few people, and the whole park is particularly tranquil. Upon entering, there is a bamboo forest, and then after passing through the amusement area, the climb begins. Inside the park, there is a colorful pond, known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou,' and it lives up to its name with blue-green water that is crystal clear. There are also many small suspension bridges, which must be very cool in the summer. The paths for climbing are mostly flat and not difficult at all, except for a steep section when reaching the summit. On the way down, we even saw flying squirrels, 60 yuan per person (actually, you can bargain with the guide, we paid 80 yuan for two people). The whole round trip took us 3 hours, as we walked slowly and kept taking photos. The entrance of the scenic area is also considerate, providing self-service luggage lockers, so there's no need to worry about luggage and no need to carry heavy loads while climbing. 😍 After leaving Daqi Mountain, we wanted to see the Fuchun River, so we took a taxi to Dongmen Wharf, but didn't find any particularly beautiful scenery. The riverside is all residential areas, so we just walked along the river briefly, then went to buy snacks and dinner, as we wanted to reach the B&B before dark and didn't stay in the city for dinner. Nearby, it was very convenient; we bought milk tea, skewers, fried chicken, fruits, etc. 😋 Day 3: We decided to go to Qinglongwu. It takes half an hour by taxi from the city, and we chose to stay in Qinglongwu. This area is a government-developed B&B cluster, located in the mountains, very tranquil, with a pastoral style, giving a peaceful feeling. 🌳 We booked the outermost B&B in Qinglongwu, , highly recommended, the best B&B I have stayed in Zhejiang, very clean, beautiful scenery, attentive service, and great value for money, only over 600 yuan in the off-season. Loft structure, great view, two floors, large space, large floor-to-ceiling windows, the B&B also has a small yard, with a stream in front, the room is spacious and very clean, the public area is also spacious, and there is a bar with KTV where you can sing for free without time limit, there is a large projector at the front desk, mahjong tables and a painting studio on the second floor, the owner's father is a painter. Overall, a fantastic experience! 😁 On Sunday during the day, we walked around Qinglongwu, passed by a B&B, saw the hanging bridge at the entrance, which also seemed nice, really built on the mountain, and felt that the view from our stay was the best. 15 minutes further inside, there is a popular bookstore 'Yan You Ji,' which is a location for variety shows, and even has Li Dan's signature inside. (There are no restaurants in the mountains, only B&Bs offer meals, and the prices are a bit exorbitant.) After checking out, the B&B staff took us to Lüci Village, a tributary of the Fuchun River, where there are more restaurants nearby. After taking a few photos, we hurried to the high-speed rail station. 🚗 Conclusion: This itinerary is very suitable for travelers from Shanghai, even without a car, it's very convenient. According to the Didi driver, summer is the peak season, with many people, and B&B prices will be over a thousand yuan, all for the sake of summer retreat. Definitely must come again in the summer to listen to the babbling brook. 🌞🌿

Tonglu is truly a treasure trove! Fun and delicious, on the south bank of the Fuchun River, it's another stunning secret spot that combines the landscapes of Jiangnan and the scenery of the grasslands~ Daqi Mountain, historically known as 'the first mountain of Jiangnan', has peaks, strange rocks, canyons, waterfalls... The stream appears a deep blue, reminiscent of Blue Moon Valley, and I even saw a fish with patterns like a cat, haha There's a 'sound-controlled' fountain that sprays water according to the volume of the call. The park revolves around a green theme and has also developed areas like Green World, Children's Fun Park, BBQ Area, Fish Paradise, and so on, offering a rich variety of attractions~

Who is discouraging tourism in Tonglu in winter!! I just came back from there a few days ago and it's simply too beautiful!!! The pictures are all beautiful scenes of Daqi Mountain!!! The weather forecast said it would rain on the day we went As a result, my husband and I monopolized the whole mountain haha My husband, a northerner, has never seen a waterfall haha He was so excited~ I finally understand the feeling of 'a fresh rain in a vacant mountain' Breathing the air in the mountain feels like the whole person has been purified The higher we went, the more misty it became It took us about two hours to climb the mountain because we stopped and took pictures It took about half an hour to descend the mountain~ A total of three hours is just right I was a bit tired when I descended the mountain, and I even drank tea at the snack bar. The human experience in the summer vacation is definitely not as good as mine this time haha I found that there should be many places to wade in the water on this mountain in summer By the way, I think it's more suitable for children over 7 to play, it's very dangerous for younger children. Parents need to do a good job of care!

⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed address: Just navigate to Daqi Mountain National Forest Park 🚗Traffic strategy: We took a taxi directly in Tonglu County. I think self-driving would be more convenient. Just navigate to the parking lot of Daqi Mountain National Forest Park Or you can also take Tonglu Bus No. 20 or K20 to Daqi Mountain Station 💰Ticket price: About forty to fifty yuan. Different platforms or app activities are different. You can take a look. There are also children's tickets and parent-child tickets 🌟Highlights: This place is really like a natural oxygen bar. The stream is clear and the bottom is visible. There is a large bamboo forest at the entrance. Then there is a shouting spring inside. The louder the sound, the higher the spring water. Thanks to the children shouting loudly, there are waterfalls and suspension bridges. There are fish in the stream. The original camera is very beautiful. And this place is pet-friendly. Many people bring their own dogs for a walk. However, some of the roads in the middle are narrow and next to the stream, so you need to hold the dog~ 📌Small Tips: I think it is not suitable for the elderly and children, because the whole play takes about three to four hours. The road in the middle is rugged and uneven, and some places are very narrow. Everyone is queuing to pass. It will be a bit dangerous. You must wear comfortable sports shoes. It's very photogenic to embrace nature. After all, the stream is really clear, blue and green. Some people also bring fish feed to feed the fish. There is a place in the middle where you can rest and sell water and melons, but the price is definitely slightly expensive. It is still recommended that everyone bring their own water. We chose to take the jungle flying squirrel in the scenic area when we went down the mountain. Sixty yuan per person. I thought I could go directly to the foot of the mountain, but it stopped after three minutes. I still have to walk from the green world to the gate. It actually takes tens of minutes The road to the popular Koi picture is a piece of brick and a piece of brick. It's very narrow, so be careful. If you have the chance, you really have to come to "Hangzhou's Little Jiuzhai" for a visit. It's the beauty of the original camera straight out!💙

Every district and county in Hangzhou has its own unique beauty. For example, I went to Tonglu County in the suburbs of Hangzhou a few days ago, which left a very deep impression on me. One of the most famous tourist attractions in Tonglu County is Daqi Mountain National Forest Park. This national 4A-level tourist scenic spot is located on the south bank of Fuchun River. It is a comprehensive forest park integrating Jiangnan landscape and grassland scenery. It is said that Daqi Mountain was also known as "the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River" in history. I have been very impressed by the various water features in the Daqishan National Forest Park. The clean and clear ponds and waterfalls show the scenery of Jiangnan unobstructed. When I come to such a place, I feel that my troubles are gone. It is. If you are tired of the bustling Hangzhou City and tired of the overcrowded West Lake, Tonglu is an ideal Xanadu to escape the crowd.
