Next to Hongcun! Chasing the Bamboo Forest Dream of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

When visiting Hongcun, don't just see South Lake Academy and Moon Pond! Escape to Mukeng Bamboo Sea for a poetic rendezvous with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" In Hongcun, Anhui, there's a "natural oxygen bar" — Mukeng Bamboo Sea, just 4km from Hongcun, yet it feels like a hidden paradise that few know about. Stepping into Mukeng Bamboo Sea is like entering a green ocean. The bamboo here stands tall and straight or sways gracefully in the gentle breeze, as if telling ancient stories. Walking along the winding paths, your feet press on soft bamboo leaves that rustle like nature's beautiful melody. Sunlight filters through the bamboo leaves, creating golden patches of light scattered on the ground like fragments of gold. When you reach Xiunü Lake, the water is crystal clear and emerald green, like a huge jade embedded in this verdant bamboo sea. The lake surface is mirror-like, reflecting the surrounding bamboo forest and sky. When a breeze passes, ripples form on the water and the bamboo shadows sway with them, resembling a flowing ink painting. Climb up to Duiqing Pavilion and gaze into the distance to take in the entire beauty of Mukeng Bamboo Sea. The distant mountains undulate continuously, merging with the green bamboo sea until you can't distinguish where the mountains end and the bamboo begins. Under the sunlight, the bamboo forest gleams with golden light, like a golden sea with surging waves. After rain, you might see clouds and mist swirling among the bamboo, creating a dreamlike fairyland atmosphere. Deep in the bamboo sea hides a rustic Hui-style village. Black-tiled white-walled houses are scattered tastefully on the hillside, complementing the surrounding bamboo sea and creating a beautiful pastoral scene. Wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of village houses, adding a touch of everyday life to this tranquil bamboo sea. Walking into the village, you can hear roosters crowing and dogs barking, giving you a sense of simple rural atmosphere. Tips: 1. It's best to set out in the early morning when mountain mist creates a fairyland atmosphere and temperatures are cool for hiking. 2. You can first visit Xiunü Lake to enjoy the scenery, then climb Duiqing Pavilion for a panoramic view of the bamboo sea, and finally walk into Mukeng Village to experience rustic country life. 3. There are simple food stalls in the scenic area, but if you want a picnic, remember to bring your own food and mat. Nearby guesthouses offer accommodation, some providing local specialty dishes. Staying overnight allows you to enjoy the beautiful starry sky and sunrise. 4. Check the weather before your trip, prepare comfortable sports shoes and mosquito repellent, and you'll be ready to fully enjoy this mountain adventure! Come to Mukeng Bamboo Sea and embark on an immersive poetic journey, allowing your body and mind to completely relax in this green ocean!
