[Treasure Scenic Area in the Suburbs of Hangzhou]

Thirty miles from the West Lake, you suddenly see Lingshan. Tourists who come to Hangzhou always only visit the West Lake, Leifeng Tower and Hefang Street. Therefore, the West Lake is always crowded with people, and when you go there, you can only watch people follow suit. You may wish to visit the Lingshan-style town in West Lake District.

Last weekend, I drove more than 20 kilometers from the urban area to Lingshan Town to check in! It feels great! I'm ashamed to say that I only learned about Lingshan after living in Hangzhou for 10 years. Fortunately, this one-day trip made up for the shortcomings.

Lingshan Style Town is located in Shuangpu Town, West Lake District, Hangzhou. The scenic area includes Tongjian Lake, Lingshan and several villages. It focuses on natural scenery, tea country folk customs, and modern agricultural pastoral customs. Here, I experienced the living state of "staying away from the dust and never leaving the city", which is like the life I most yearn for.

Lingshan Mirage with the "Dream Star Tunnel", Qingfeng Shanfang, the similar Sheep Ranch Cafe in Jeju Island, Hetang Racecourse, Qianmu Wheat Field, Lingshan Buddha, Banbishan Reservoir, Yimi Tea Garden, Tasha Dream Garden, Hejiahuan Field Park, etc., this is really a fun paradise hidden in nature.

Others: When summer is here, it is recommended to bring sunscreen, insect repellent, etc.

[Lingshan Illusion]

Lingshan Mirage, also known as Lingshan Cave, has a history of more than 1500 years. This cave is a shaft type, with a height difference of more than 100 meters. It is a huge cave with an area of more than 2000 square meters. There are two Internet celebrity check-in points here, one is the entrance tunnel and the other is the stone stack ladder.

The Dream Star Tunnel is often seen on various Internet celebrity check-in lists. The extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, coupled with the embellishment of light and shadow, makes it seem as if you are standing under the stars with countless fireflies around you. It is so dreamy, as if you have fallen into a fairy tale.

The stone stack ladder, the nearly 50-meter-long stone stack constitutes the fun of mountain climbing in the cave, which is rare among many cave landscapes in China. Moreover, through the ladder, you can climb directly from the bottom of the cave to the top of the mountain, which makes people amazed! Here is another egg, I will tell you later.

Of course, not only these two attractions are exciting, the entire cave is the essence. The cave is tall, deep, and strange, with stalactites in various shapes and shapes. The most special thing is a huge "stalagmite"-Tianzhu Peak, which is 24.5 meters high and 6 meters in diameter. It is said that even 12 big men cannot hold it around. It is the largest cave stalagmite in Asia and the second largest in the world.

[Lingshan Buddha]

This Lingshan Buddha is not the Lingshan Buddha. As I said before, there is an egg in the illusion of Lingshan. That is, through the stone stack ladder, you can climb all the way from the bottom of Lingshan Cave to the top of the mountain, and the Lingshan Buddha is next to the entrance of the top of the mountain.

I heard from the villagers here that the Lingshan Buddha should be the largest open-air Maitreya Buddha in Hangzhou. It was repaired by a certain director of Lingyin Temple. The entire Buddha is shining in gold, with clear facial features and an iconic smile. The five fingers of the Buddha's right hand are separated and placed naturally on his knees.

In addition to coming from the stone ladder in the illusion of Lingshan Mountain, you can also climb to the top of the mountain from outside the cave. Along the way, the mountain scenery was also very good, giving me the feeling of hiking in spring.

Girls, parent-child, and costume photography are all very suitable.

[Banbishan Reservoir]

Hangzhou's secret land. If I didn't say that it was a reservoir, I'm afraid you would think it was a blue sea. Not many people in the city know about this reservoir. But in this area, it is a well-known and popular place. And it is also the water source here.

The road next to the reservoir extends all the way to the foot of the mountain and is connected to the scenic spot. On both sides of the reservoir dam, there are green grass, green mountains, and some young goats tending sheep from farmers, which is a good picture of pastoral life. The water in the reservoir is as clear as a mirror and a pool of green. The green mountains reflect the water, and the lake waves ripple, like a fairyland.

In fact, along the way, there were many tea gardens in the villages on both sides, and the tea leaves had been basically picked. This place is very similar to Longwu and other places to drink tea in the city, and the environment is equally great! It's also great to meet three to five friends on weekends and come here to drink tea, play cards, and bask in the sun.

[Hetang Racecourse]

I'm so happy, there is also a racecourse here. For me who can't ride horses, it's so exciting to see the racecourse. He put on his vest and helmet impatiently, and under the guidance of the coach, he successfully rode several times around the racecourse. Coaches are more patient, and basically tourists can teach them to mount, ride and dismount. Occasionally, the coach would show a few moves and ask the horse to perform a few movements. Great value for money!
