[2025 Anji Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiangnan Tianchi Scenic Tourist (Updated Jul)

Anji's "Little Switzerland" is legit!!! The ultimate guide to stop those endless DMs "Posted a photo from Anji, and my bestie immediately video-called asking, ‘When did you sneak off to Switzerland?!’🤯 OMG! This is actually Zhejiang’s hidden ‘Little Alps’—mist-capped peaks like snow tops, meadows stretching to the horizon, even the air smells like pine needles. Enough talk, just copy my itinerary!" 🏞️ Must-visit spots (with exact locations) - Jiangnan Tianchi⛰️ (Address: Tianhuangping Town, Anji County): The mountaintop lake is like a sapphire cradled by peaks, with windmills lazily turning by the shore. When morning mist wraps the peaks, you’ll swear you’re in the Alps! Capture backlit silhouettes at dusk—guaranteed to flood your feed with “Is this Interlaken?”📸 - Canglong Baipu💦 (Address: Daxi Village, Dipu Town, Anji County): A waterfall maze hidden in bamboo forests. Wooden walkways let mist kiss your face, and the air is as crisp as freshly opened sparkling water. Sunlight filters through bamboo leaves, giving photos a soft forest glow✨ - Yunshang Grassland🐑 (Address: Shanchuan Township, Anji County): Vast meadows roll to the foothills, where sheep graze and distant peaks wear "snow caps" of fog. Lie back for a sky shot, and friends will think you’re frolicking in Alpine pastures~ 🍲 Food guide (If it’s not delicious, blame me) - Stir-fried Anji Bamboo Shoots🥬: Local winter bamboo shoots wok-fried to a fiery crisp, lightly spicy and downright addictive. Head to "Lao Li’s Kitchen"—the chef’s wok skills are wilder than a nightclub! - Yanduxian🥣: Spring bamboo shoots + salted pork stewed into milky broth, so umami it’ll curl your tongue! "Granny’s Home Cooking" in the alley sells out daily—miss it, and you’ll just drool over the aroma🤤 - Bamboo Tube Rice🍚: Sticky rice and cured pork stuffed into green bamboo, split open steaming—the aroma will lure kids from nearby tables. Made fresh by aunties at scenic spots, best eaten piping hot! 🏨 Stay & unwind - Anji JW Marriott Hotel🏨: Wake up to bamboo-sea mountain views. The hillside pool lets you swim with clouds drifting past peaks—vacation vibes maxed out💯 - Yunshang Grassland Squirrel Tribe Hotel🐿️: Wooden villas nestled by meadows. Mornings start with squirrels tapping your window, and kids can roll in the grass till dark—perfect for families!

Family members wanted to open a trip to Tianhuangping, known as China's Akina Mountain, so they set off on a weekend with good weather... Indeed, the mountain road made me dizzy😵‍💫 There is also a Fujiwara Tofu Shop on the top of the mountain, which is almost complete The mountain road is actually easy to drive, probably because the speed is not fast, because I always encounter slow cars (the kind of 30 yards), I can only follow behind and slowly look for opportunities to overtake, because there is only one lane, many are solid lines... As you approach the top of the mountain, you can see the Fujiwara Tofu Shop. If you go in and consume, you can park for free. It's not bad to sit down and have a cup of milk tea to warm up. If you go further, it's Jiangnan Tianchi Scenic Area. The ticket is 80! To be honest, there's not much to visit. It's just a reservoir. When we went there, there was a geological disaster before, and the water was turbid. It didn't look good in summer, and I saw that the sign inside stipulated that drones could not be flown, so I had to fly a little outside, and I couldn't see anything. 🌟Highlights: Mountain road, known as China's Akina Mountain 🕙Business hours: All day, but Jiangnan Tianchi is before 17:00 ✅Must experience: Pure check-in, Fujiwara Tofu Shop

I've been planning this ski trip with my friends for a long time, and it's finally arranged. After a long time of consideration, I decided to go to Tianchi in the south of the Yangtze River this time. The scenery along the way to the mountain is very beautiful, and the snow scene is really amazing! Here comes the strategy Business hours are from 8:30 in the morning to 20:00 in the evening We set off from Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, and the round trip takes about 3 hours (self-driving tour is recommended) After parking the car, you can walk to the ski resort in a few minutes! Equipment You can bring your own snow goggles, helmets, gloves, snow boots, snowboards. If you don't have a snowsuit, you can rent one in the ski resort. Ski resort Sixty thousand square meters, although the area is not large, but there are relatively few people, it is very suitable for taking pictures and checking in. Share some small tips for taking pictures Remember to take pictures before skiing! Otherwise, your face will be frozen and your makeup will be ruined~ The snow scene with a woolen hat and earmuffs looks very good, and it's very photogenic. After skiing, we went to the hot spring again hhh We went to the Bamboo Forest Hot Spring, it was really comfortable. There are many kinds of hot spring pools to choose from! There are wine pools and rock baths indoors There are more outdoor pools, such as milk pool, tea pool, Shouwu pool, sulfur pool... At about 3-4 o'clock, the sun is just right, and the photos are really beautiful (The changing room is a bit far from the hot spring pool, everyone is advised to keep warm on the way) This experience was great, even as a beginner, I had a lot of fun.

Situated at the end of a wonderful drive up the mountain through a series of zigzags and switchbacks with incredible views. Entrance was 80rmb for the day or 40 if you go after 4:30/5pm (which we did - you buy the ticket from the hotel/restaurant on the left right beside the exit of the park). They have a campground so it’s open all evening which means you can also go stargazing if it’s a nice clear night. The “park” has been a little neglected over time but still provides glorious 360 views of the surrounding valley. The waterpark area was not open when we were there but there was a “love chapel”, a nice walk up to a pagoda, and a strange castle like building on the edge of the road. The astronomy center closed at 4:30pm so we missed that but enjoyed walking around the reservoir to stretch the legs. It really is just a reservoir that they’ve made into a tourist attraction that looked like it was once popular but now is a little tired. Never the less, we were staying at a nearby hotel (Anji Miyue High Mountain Guesthouse) for the lovely views so we were happy to spend an afternoon walking off our delicious breakfast!

Recommended Hidden Gem Scenic Spot: Jiangnan Tianchi Tianhuangping Star Gazing in Huzhou After spending too much time in the hustle and bustle of Hangzhou city, I always felt something was missing in life. Until I heard that Tianhuangping in Jiangnan Tianchi, Huzhou, is an excellent place for stargazing, I set off on this star-chasing journey to explore the romance the universe hides deep in the mountains. Following the winding mountain road upwards, the car spiraled towards Tianhuangping. The mountain road looked like a bluish-gray ribbon wrapped around the waist of the green mountains. When you first stand on the viewing platform overlooking the entire Tianchi, the visual impact is beyond words. The water surface is like a perfectly polished mirror, reflecting the surrounding rolling green mountains. At dusk, I pitched a tent on the grass by the lake. As the sun gradually set, the sky darkened, and the stars began to twinkle. At this moment, climbing the steps up to Tianhuangping, you will be stunned by the scene before you. The sky full of stars is like dazzling gems embedded in the night sky, shining brightly. As night deepened and the temperature dropped, I stood on the Cloud Top Viewing Platform gazing at the shifting stars, and in front of the Tianhuangping pavilion, I felt the vastness of the universe. Those twinkling stars were like childhood dreams, distant yet bright. Before sunrise the next day, I climbed the high ground along the rainbow steps and saw the eastern morning light faintly appearing, the sky beginning to turn pale, and the stars slowly fading. But those starlights had already settled in my heart. Perhaps in the city nights ahead, thinking of the Tianhuangping starry sky will let me once again touch the tenderness of the universe, reminding me that beyond the busy and trivial, there is such a vast and brilliant existence waiting for us to look up to, to revere, and to love. Location: Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province Altitude: 908 meters Opening Hours: 09:00 - 17:00 Tickets: 80 RMB/adult, free with the Shihua Zhejiang Cultural Tourism Card!

Tianchi Viewing Platform: The main lake surface is nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, with crystal-clear blue water surrounded by mountains and bamboo forests. In the early morning, watch the mist swirling; at sunset, see the afterglow spill over the lake. Perfect for photos. On clear days, the lake surface mirrors the blue sky, like a fairyland. 2. Tianhuangping Pumped Storage Power Station: As the core of the scenic area, it is both an important energy project and a unique cultural landscape. Visitors can learn about the pumped storage principle, see the fascinating water operation between the "upper pool" Jiangnan Tianchi and the "lower pool," and experience the integration of human engineering and nature. 3. Stargazing and Star Photography: Tianhuangping is a well-known stargazing spot. Due to its high altitude and low light pollution, it is a paradise for star lovers. It is recommended to choose clear, cloudless nights. The Milky Way is clear in summer, and constellations like Orion can be photographed in winter. Accommodation suggestions: 1. If budget allows, the first choice is the resort inside the scenic area, such as Jiangnan Tianchi Resort, which offers better conditions. 2. You can also rent tents for camping at the front desk of Jiangnan Tianchi Resort or bring your own. @Shihua Zhejiang Cultural Tourism Card

ID card, power bank, and mosquito repellent are the three must-have items! 🏞 [Top 5 Must-See Attractions] 1. Cloud Grassland: The "Little Switzerland" of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai!

## Jiangnan Tianchi: A Cloud-Top Secret in Northern Zhejiang, Where You Can Encounter Stars and Hot Springs **Have you ever imagined?** Atop a mountain nearly 1,000m above sea level, there lies a pool of water as blue as the sky, surrounded by a sea of bamboo, with windmills gently turning. At night, you can reach out and grab the stars, and in winter, you can soak in a hot spring while enjoying the snow—this isn't Switzerland, but Jiangnan Tianchi, hidden in Anji, Zhejiang! **📍 Location:** Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It's a 1.5-hr drive from Hangzhou and about a 3-hr drive from Shanghai. **🌿 Recommended Activities:** 1. **Stroll Through the Tianchi Secret Realm** - Take a walk along the 4 km circular trail. The lake reflects the green mountains and white clouds like a mirror. Azaleas surround the area in spring, and the forests are ablaze with color in autumn. - **Must-see spots:** Observation deck (for panoramic views of Tianchi), Love Maze (with purple verbena fields), and the observatory (one of the largest in Asia). 2. **Stargazing Camping and Sunrise Cloud Sea** - Stay in a lakeside tent or a nearby B&B. Climb to the stargazing platform in the early morning. The Milky Way is clearly visible in summer, and you may encounter frost and a sea of clouds in winter. - **Tips:** The observatory requires advance booking for observation activities. The best time for stargazing is after the 25th day of the lunar month. 3. **Winter Limited Romance** - The ski resort has an 800m beginner ski run, perfect for beginners. After playing in the snow, head straight to the mountaintop hot spring (we recommend the cliffside pools for a double enjoyment of snow and hot springs). 4. **A Paradise for Driving Enthusiasts** - The 18 km mountain road "Tianhuangping Line" is known as the "Autumn Mountain of Zhejiang." There are several observation decks along the way, and the red leaf tunnel in late autumn is a visual feast. **🍜 Anji Cuisine:** - For lunch, we recommend **braised pork with dried bamboo shoots** + **Anji white tea** at the Tianchi Restaurant. Down the mountain, you can try local chicken soup and a bamboo shoot banquet. - Hidden gem: **Lao Li Jia Local Restaurant** in Tianhuangping Town, where the boathead fish and glutinous rice cakes are a must-order. **📅 Best Season:** - **Beautiful in all seasons, but with different experiences:** - Spring (Apr–May): Azalea sea + tea picking experience - Summer (Jun–Aug): Summer camping + stargazing season - Autumn (Oct–Nov): Colorful forests + cycling festival - Winter (Dec–Feb): Skiing and hot springs + frost wonders **💡 Useful Tips:** - Tickets: CNY 80 (discounts for online purchases in advance), skiing/hot springs are charged separately - Accommodation: If your budget allows, choose the **Observatory Hotel**. For cost-effectiveness, we recommend the **Da Nian Chu Yi Homestay** on the mountainside. - Special experiences: You can participate in the alpine music festival in summer and the icefall climbing project in winter. - Avoid: Be careful going up the mountain on rainy days, as heavy fog can affect the viewing experience. **✨ Catchy Slogan:** "This isn't the highest Tianchi, but it's the 'Sky Mirror' closest to the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area—when the city's neon lights blur the starlight, the Tianchi's night still retains the original appearance of the Milky Way." **🚗 Recommended Itinerary:** Day 1: Jiangnan Tianchi (stay on the mountaintop) Day 2: Visit **Yucun** (the birthplace of green waters and green mountains) + **Tian Yuan Jia Le Bi Paradise** (a must-go for families) down the mountain This "Most Beautiful High Mountain Pumped Storage Power Station in Northern Zhejiang" certified by *Chinese National Geography* is telling you with the beautiful scenery of the four seasons: The tenderness of Jiangnan can also be so magnificent.
