2025 Lanxi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

How to Play at Chimelong Qingyuan? Check Out This 2-Day Itinerary!👋 I went to Chimelong Qingyuan during the Spring Festival holiday. Here is a fresh 2-day itinerary. If you plan to travel with kids, make sure to save this itinerary. Day 1: Arrive at Chimelong Qingyuan Forest Kingdom - Check in - Visit the three theaters and the parade (with proper time management, you can visit them all) - After dinner, take the kids to play at the Sacred Tree Park in the hotel Day 2: Enter the park and start from the left - Parrot Rainforest - Monkey Island - Central Lawn - Giraffe Grassland - Sky Exploration - Lion Mountain - Steam Train through Africa - Bug World - Kangaroo Jungle - Elephant Valley - Parrot Rainforest ✅ Take the steam train to see the grassland, about half an hour: Qingyuan chicken, elephants, giraffes, hippos, birds, and other animals. The area is large, but there are not many animals. There is a commentary throughout the journey. ✅ Bug World has 6 rides, and there are only 2 rides for children under 1.2 meters. ✅ You can feed ring-tailed lemurs on Monkey Island, but there are no gloves, so parents and children need to be careful when feeding. ✅ There is a bird show on the Central Lawn. ✅ Giraffe Castle Hotel, we chose a family room, which is full of giraffe elements. Kids will love it. The Sacred Tree Park is so fun that kids don't want to leave. The area is large and fun. Overall, Chimelong Qingyuan is worth visiting. It is larger and wilder. However, the park has just opened, and there are still some areas that need improvement, such as the room has some smell, although not very strong. The giraffe viewing area in the hotel garden has no animals yet, and the animal viewing area on the way to the Lion Ferris Wheel is not well arranged. I look forward to the park's continuous improvement and can't wait to visit again.

First time in my life to Jinhua I discovered this small but beautiful autumn viewing spot. A resort with more than 3,000 acres of still water lake and more than 4,000 acres of tea garden If I hadn't seen the video of the little train I might miss it. — ✔️🈶Chen Jun Art Museum ✔️Lanhu Farm ✔️Time Train ✔️Camping Base ✔️Beach🏖️ ✔️Tea Garden ✔️Pedal Boat✔️Bird Watching Platform✔️Terrace Fields…… 🫣Can you believe it? This place is 218,500 square meters, which is unimaginably large. One day is not enough to play around here. However, the scenic spot has changed from charged to free, and most of the projects are no longer in operation, but it is really worth a trip! ! — 🌈Recommended attractions: ✅The time train costs 30r per person and takes about 10 minutes. The Metasequoia forest is only one section of the train. It also passes by the tea sea and the lakeside. It is really beautiful! (The video version can be seen in the following article) ✅The bird watching platform is very suitable for watching the sunset. It gets dark early in winter, so you can come here to wait before 16:50; ✅The Ginkgo forest is already completely yellow and starting to fall, so hurry up if you want to take photos. There is also a big red windmill next to the bird watching platform that is very photogenic; ✅Metasequoia forest. We spent almost half of our time here. A wooden plank road runs along the lakeside, with red Metasequoia on both sides. You can use some corners to take pictures of the lake that look like Erhai Lake! 🙅🏻‍♀️You must take advantage of the light in the afternoon to take pictures to look good. Without sunlight, it will be pitch black! ! No more contact after 4:30 pm~ We didn’t have time to visit some other farms this time. If you want to visit, it is recommended to come in the morning. We arrived at 2 pm, so we only had enough time! — 📍: Lanhu Tourist Resort 🎫: Free 🚘: 2h driving in Hangzhou, 4h driving in Shanghai There is not much to eat in the scenic area. I only saw a stall selling coffee and snacks, but the taste and price/performance ratio were average. The instant food was heated up, so it is recommended to bring your own.

Lanxi Youbu Ancient Town in Jinhua, Zhejiang is one of the four major ancient towns in Zhejiang. The other three ancient towns are Wuzhen in Tongxiang, Nanxun Ancient Town in Huzhou and Xitang Ancient Town. If you haven't been to Xitang, you have no right to speak. In terms of ancient town architecture and sightseeing, it cannot be compared with Wuzhen and Nanxun. But my favorite place is Youbu, mainly because it is still almost dominated by the indigenous people. Even though there are so many tourists today, the indigenous people still do their own thing and their original living habits remain unchanged. Perhaps because there is no entrance fee, the original customs of the ancient town have been preserved. #AncientTown #Lanxi #Jinhua #LeisureLife #Leisure #DrinkTea #NationalFlag #TourPort

#createwithtrip We were on a day trip in Jinhua and we wanted to go somewhere to make our trip worth it. We have been to the Double Dragon Cave in Jinhua and a friend gave us information about an underground river/cave in Lanxi. So, we went to Lanxi by Didi and arrived there in less than an hour. The place was a little bit far away from the City and it is quite the countryside feel. The river had a very dark brown in color and we were told it was because of the continuos rain. We paid 80 rmb each and we had a tour guide. First we had an 8-10 minute boat ride going to the cave so as they say underground river. The cave was actually better than the Double Dragon Cave. We really liked the last part of the cave. It was so huge and so magnificent. #urbanexplorer

This National Day, I recommend Lanxi—a hidden gem city for food lovers‼️ Foodies, take notes! If you're into sightseeing, Lanxi might not be your cup of tea—it's all about the eats here. Total cost: ¥600/person (mostly on taxis, meals averaged ¥180/person for two days). 📋 Two Days & One Night 🏨 Stay: Downtown Lanxi or Youbu Ancient Town 🚗 Transport: Highly recommended 🚄 Train: Jinhua Station (from Hangzhou, direct trains to Lanxi have inconvenient schedules) - Jinhua Station → Lunch → Underground Long River → Lanxi Ancient Town (optional) → Downtown food crawl → Zhongzhou Park → Overnight at Rongjingwan Hotel (near Wanda Plaza & Guzicheng Night Market) to enjoy the night view → Youbu Ancient Town → Lanhu Resort → Jinhua Station → Food crawl near Jinhua Station → Return to Hangzhou - 📒 Travel Tips: Lanxi's attractions are quite spread out. We skipped Zhuge Bagua Village due to distance. Since Youbu Ancient Town and Lanhu Resort are far from downtown, it's best to visit them on the same day and spend the other day exploring downtown eats. 📒 Food Recs: Check my detailed reviews and route plans for each spot! Must-tries: Taiye Chicken, Preserved Vegetable Pancake, Old Zhu's Thin Pancakes, KK Cold Drinks. 📒 Scenery Picks: Youbu Ancient Town and Underground Long River are worth visiting. The rest, including the mini train ride, are just okay. #Lanxi #OffTheBeatenPathNationalDay #NationalDayTravel #JiangZheHuWeekendGetaway #LanxiFood #TravelGuide #HiddenGems #UnderratedSpots #TravelSmart #WhereToGoForNationalDay

"Traces of Patina: Silent Conversations with an Anonymous Ancient Village" At the fifth unnamed fork in the mountain path, the navigation map suddenly dissolves into vast blankness. The cobblestone trail, licked thin by wild ferns, narrows to half a palm's width as moss creeps up the cast-iron signpost, its rusted characters declaring "Ancient Village Ahead" now the color of mountain haze. Through the abandoned tea pavilion's draft comes the sudden tinkling of water ornaments. Following broken bamboo aqueducts downward, the stream fractures into eighty-one cascades among chaotic rocks. Cupping water startles stone-scaled fish, their silvery flashes bursting between fingers like mercury, the mountain spring's chill piercing straight to the crown—this turns out to be the lost "Snow-Fattened Stream" from Lu Yu's Classic of Tea. Beneath century-old Torreya trees hides the village entrance, where faded red banners bearing "Learn from Dazhai in Agriculture" still cling to lintels. An old man in indigo scoops fallen maple leaves from the well with bamboo strainers, the creaking pulley startling bronze bells under the eaves. "Young traveler, will you take tea?" Wild camellia and Cherokee rose settle in coarse clay bowls as well water releases them, sunlight piercing through nine feet of moss-lined shaft. Among carved sparrow braces in the crumbling ancestral hall leans half a rusted oil-paper umbrella. The remnant "Loyalty" stele in the courtyard now serves as a drying board for persimmons, amber syrup tracing Ming dynasty stone carvings. Drafts carry the scent of humus through empty spaces where Nuo opera masks once danced. When twilight floods the terraces, pale blue mist rises from mountain streams. In the abandoned watermill, rotting wooden gears still clutch millet grains. Wild chestnuts crackle in a herbalist's dying fire, their pops echoing bamboo-root water dripping in shadows. Suddenly moonlight fills the valley, illuminating century-old watermarks on stream stones with phosphenes—like someone's forgotten celestial markings. At parting, the old well offers one last gourd of crystalline water floating with crushed starlight. Turning back at the mountain bend, I watch dawn fog refold the village into creases of peaks—those unnamed beauties remain secret visas only redeemable by getting lost.

Mid-mountain swimming pool! Staying in Wangyun Village is the right way to spend the summer Lanxi, Jinhua, is an ancient and picturesque town. It is surrounded by mountains and swaying green trees. The water is gurgling and clear, and the flowers are in full bloom, emitting an alluring fragrance. The sunlight penetrates the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows. The picturesque scenery is refreshing. The confluence of three rivers and five streams here makes it like an enchanting paradise. This homestay is located in Wangyunshan Village, which has a long history. The architectural style of the B&B cleverly combines traditional architectural style with modern design. Located halfway up the mountain, just like its name "Wangyun" suggests, here you feel closer to the sky, as if you can touch the clouds with your hands. The exterior adopts pure white tones, following the architectural style of the Jiangnan water towns. The simple and square geometric lines and the large-area use of floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to feel connected to nature even when you are indoors.

When visiting an ancient town, your accommodation is the beginning of a perfect trip. Opened in 2024, the smart-controlled and pet-friendly Lanxi Zhenyue Guesthouse (Youbu Ancient Town) became our choice for this journey. The guesthouse is located at the entrance of Youbu Ancient Town, close to the parking lot and morning market street, yet away from the noise of tourist attractions. Standing on the balcony, you can see the ancient town, stripped of urban complexity and displaying natural simplicity. The room facilities are modern, with smart devices like "Xiao Du" voice control, floor heating, smart toilets, and convenient shower systems. The rooms are clean, tidy and comfortable. The balcony is perfect for sunbathing, though during my two-day stay, I used it to listen to the rain - tick-tock, pitter-patter - encountering spring rain was also a beautiful moment. The guesthouse also offers complimentary welcome fruit and coffee or tea for each room. Their pet-friendly policy and thoughtful service provided great convenience for our trip. But what I particularly loved was the coffee shop on the first floor. Every day, that essential sense of ritual must be maintained - sitting in this beautiful space, drinking coffee, pausing to simply gaze at tourists passing through the ancient street and the smiles on strangers' faces. Address: No. 102-2 Zhongshan Street, Youbu Ancient Town, Lanxi, Jinhua, straight-line distance 27.5 km from city center

We arrived at a village named after Bagua (meaning Yin and Yang) in Zhejiang Province, China. The bus driver told us about it. The village, which is a protected area, has dozens of ponds, which are the axis of life for the residents who live there. The name Bagua comes from the fact that the village itself is designed with Yin and Yang in mind. In the center of the village there was a large Yin and Yang pond. Does it look like that from a distance? ☯️ There are many buildings and places in China that use Yin and Yang as a motif. You can really enjoy the history of Taoism here. #China @
