A Cool Summer Escape in Lanxi

Is there still such a cool place in summer? Recently, the weather has been heating up again. But right in Jinhua, there’s a hidden "summer savior" town — Lanxi! Named after its river, this small county town flows at a leisurely pace, just like the gentle streams of spring. Start your day with an authentic Jiangnan-style morning tea, stretching out the hours of your day. When the heat becomes unbearable, escape to the Underground Long River and enjoy the cool 18°C breeze deep within the karst caves. If you’re craving fresh fruits, you can pick and eat them right by the Lan River. This is the perfect way to embrace summer! This charming little town, full of delicious food and fun places to explore, is waiting for you to grab a friend and embark on a triple immersive experience journey. Are you ready? The Underground Long River, also known as "Liudong Mountain," features a typical karst landscape. In summer, it transforms into a natural air-conditioned room, making it the ideal spot to cool off. You can choose to drift leisurely through the underground river on a small boat or explore the mysterious land on foot. Inside the cave, you’ll find stalactites, stone pillars, stone towers, stone forests, and stone draperies, showcasing the various stages of karst cave development. **Lan Lake Resort** The park features a viral mini train that glides across the lake surrounded by water cypress trees, as well as a sheep ranch reminiscent of Jeju Island. It’s a lush forest oxygen bar, perfect for refreshing your eyes with its greenery. 🍃 The farm is home to sheep, alpacas, ponies, corgis, call ducks, dairy cows, and more. You can interact with and feed the animals up close, and it’s also a great opportunity to snap some beautiful photos. **Zhiyan Ancient Village** Lanxi’s ancient architecture combines the delicate elegance of Hui-style buildings with the stately grandeur of Wu-style structures. These villages are not overly commercialized, making them ideal for a relaxing weekend getaway. **The Everyday Life of Lanxi** Beyond its scenic spots, this underrated gem of a town is also a food lover’s paradise. On Jiangnan’s first morning tea street, Youbu Ancient Street, you’ll find an endless array of local delicacies and a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere.
