Enjoy a relaxing spring in the mountains.
Just lying around is a kind of enjoyment,
though not exactly luxurious.

Wake up naturally in the fresh air,
enjoy a good night's sleep.
Early cherry blossoms and magnolias are still in full bloom,
the green hills and clear waters are a feast for the eyes.
Soak in a private hot spring while enjoying the mountain view—
you probably won't find this scenery in the city.

Free-range chicken and bamboo shoots are good for the stomach,
and you can even dig for bamboo shoots in your spare time.
Spring tea will have to wait until the end of the month.
Walking the dog by the stream is also a healthy way to relax.
Strolling through the small town is full of charm.

The route to Mogan Mountain is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless! Few people, beautiful scenery, absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend a self-driving tour to Mogan Mountain during the rainy season! Travel off-peak, enjoy the beauty all to yourself!!! Super suitable for lazy people who don't like walking, an oxygen-absorbing route!! Sea of clouds/mountain springs/streams/bamboo forests/surrounded by mountains/sunset at the top, nature is really too beautiful. > Timeline of the route can be referred to as follows: ① Lunch: The most popular place is Goldfish Mom, I've eaten here both times I've been to Mogan Mountain, the environment and dishes are both okay! 2 Fish Scale Dam It's quite crowded, as the name suggests, it's a small dam that looks like fish scales, you can wade in the water, you can kayak, it's probably a place kids love to play, I suggest bringing slippers! If you're not interested in playing in the water, you can skip it. 3 Xiantan Village A small village, green paths between fields, streams and rivers, flowers and plants are just right, on rainy days there's a misty feeling of clouds, the flowers by the roadside also emit fragrance this season, you can walk around more! 3 Xiantan Village A small village, green paths between fields, streams and rivers, flowers and plants are just right, on rainy days there's a misty feeling of clouds, the flowers by the roadside also emit fragrance this season, you can walk around more! ④ Jiangnan Biwu It's a small town, a good place for hiking, there's a small waterfall, a glass viewing platform, there's an entrance fee here, there's a parking lot and charging piles at the entrance. 5 Tianquan Mountain Viewing Platform Highly recommended!!! You can choose to locate at Dayangli Starry Sky Camp, after arriving, drive to the right, walk about 500 meters to reach the top, it's a private tea garden, 40 per person, including tea/watermelon/snacks bamboo shoots and peanuts. The scenery at the top is extremely beautiful! Exceeded expectations! Because it was a shower, you can basically sit on the outside platform to drink tea and enjoy the scenery, relax~ take beautiful photos~

It is dubbed as the "Number One Mountain in Jiangnan" by "China National Geography"~ Mogan Mountain🏔 Despite some controversy over the title "Number One Mountain in Jiangnan", Mogan Mountain still enjoys fame in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces due to its merits. ⛳️The Mogan Mountain scenic area includes the 【Mogan Mountain International Tourism Resort】 (consisting of multiple scenic spots and villages) and the 【Mogan Mountain Scenic Area】 (which requires ascending the main mountain), with most accommodations located in the resort at the foot of the mountain. The average annual temperature of Mogan Mountain is 13.3℃, with an average summer temperature of 24.9℃, making it a "summer retreat paradise" for the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area. ⚠️How to enjoy Mogan Mountain?

Or take a train to Deqing West Station, then take a taxi to the hotel or homestay, which costs about 20. 2️⃣How to get to Mogan Mountain from the hotel or homestay? Take a taxi to the Tourism Distribution (transfer) Center, buy/check tickets there and take a bus up to Mogan Mountain. Private cars are not allowed to go up and can be parked there. 3️⃣Transportation between spots on the mountain: Take the scenic area's shuttle bus, which operates between the various small scenic spots on the mountain, with a ticket price of 15, following a counterclockwise route. Each scenic spot/station allows passengers to get on and off, and there are many buses available. 🏠About accommodation: Most people choose to stay in the Mogan Mountain International Tourism Resort, which is at the foot of the mountain. The accommodation on the mountain is not cost-effective and dining and entertainment are inconvenient. 😍About food: Most shops are located in Yucun Village, just a starting taxi fare away from the homestays. There are no particular recommendations, but you can go for a coffee. ⚠️Note: 1. Summer weather is changeable, so it's advisable to bring an umbrella and there are mosquitoes, so take precautions against them. 2. The last bus down the mountain is just before 4:30 pm, and the bus transfer point for going up and down the mountain is also the starting/ending point for the mountain sightseeing bus, all located on Yinshan Street. 3. Sword Pond is 900 meters away, where you can play in the water but it's physically demanding, so it's best to visit last. It's not far from Yinshan Street.
