Tonglu, as the back garden of Hangzhou, has unparalleled charm and attracts me to visit again and again.

[About Tonglu]

Tonglu, the back garden on the outskirts of Hangzhou, is also an international garden city. It has a long history and a gathering of people and culture. It is a place of beauty and elegance and a country of charm and civilization.

"More than a hundred miles from Fuyang to Tonglu, there are strange mountains and rivers, and the world is unique."

Tonglu is just at the midpoint of this spring river. Tonglu is painted on both sides of the spring river. It sits on Fuchun mountains and rivers and has unique beautiful scenery. It is known as the "Chinese Painting City" and is also the "Fuchun Mountain Residence". The real location.

[DAY 1 Yaolin Wonderland, enjoy the beautiful dream cave]

Between the beautiful mountains and rivers of Tonglu, there is a dreamy water-moon cave-Yaolin Wonderland. It has rare karst landscapes, colorful stone waterfalls, charming karst landforms, and stunning 3D naked-eye light and shadow show. This is also one of the must-check scenic spots when visiting Tonglu.

Yaolin Wonderland, at first hearing its name, I think it will be a fairyland on earth. This is the most famous stalactite cave in the area, also known as Yaolin Cave. It was formed 100,000 years ago and is one of the top 40 tourist attractions in China!
It was true when I came here. Passing through the courtyards with Jiangnan style, we arrive at the foot of the green mountain in early summer, where the entrance to the fairyland is.

With full expectation, walk down the stone steps full of time and walk into this Yaolin Wonderland, which is known as the "crown of all caves in the country". Walking into the cave, the first feeling is coolness. The hot afternoon heat is instantly replaced by coolness. At the entrance of the cave, the roof of the cave shines like a starry night sky. It is crystal clear and shining, revealing extraordinary romance everywhere.

After entering the cave, the scenery inside the cave was unique and amazed me. The colorful lights illuminated the stalactites, as if we were in a fairyland. The stones of different shapes were also endowed with legendary colors and stories. Walking through it, you can see various strange stone pillars above your head, which is like a dream.

Although China's karst cave scenic spots are not everywhere, they also bloom everywhere, from northeast to southwest to central China. Although the regions are different, those karst caves give me the feeling that they are similar, but Yaolin Wonderland is the unique one. The tall and wide grottoes, complex terrain, dense stalactites, the terrain gradually increases from low to high, and the magnificent and colorful stone landscape is known as the crown of all caves in the country.

The Yaolin Wonderland is divided into three cave halls. After passing through the fluorescent corridor, you first enter the front hall. The front hall is not big, but beautiful and gentle, quite like a Jiangnan water town. Behind it is a large-scale "Lion and Elephant Welcome" naked-eye light and shadow 3D show. In the huge underground world, technology is used to project the evolution process of Yaolin Wonderland over the past ten years on the boulder, which is particularly shocking.

By combining high-tech means such as sound, lighting, atomization, and projection, the gorgeous lighting effects and shocking sci-fi scene layout are perfectly integrated with the unique natural wonders of the cave, demonstrating the natural beauty of the Yaolin Wonderland Cave from multiple angles and all-round directions., space beauty, level beauty and form beauty.

Accompanied by the gurgling sound of groundwater, the first thing to come to is the first cave hall. The first cave hall is 135 meters long and 20 to 40 meters wide. It is the place with the richest and most concentrated landscape in the entire Yaolin Wonderland, and it is the most popular place. It is the "Milky Way Waterfall".

The road for the tour is winding and undulating, sometimes turning, sometimes climbing, and sometimes there are channels where there seems to be no road. It feels like "there is no road in the mountains and heavy waters, and another village is full of willows and flowers."
Arriving at the second cave hall, the terrain is ups and downs, the canyon is deep, and the clear spring flows slowly. There are huge stone pillars, which "pull up the mountains with great strength" and are known as the "Sky Jade Pillar".

Under the illumination of colorful lights, the stalactites here are beautiful no matter from any angle, inspiring people's infinite imagination. They are like people, objects, and animals, and the stones have become more energetic. The stalactites in the cave are magnificent and exquisite. They are characterized by "tranquility, depth, wonder and beauty" and are unique among the caves in the country.

The terrain of Yaolin Wonderland is very complex. If you walk in it, if the light is not dark, you will forget that you are in a cave. It feels more like climbing a mountain. It can also be said that there are holes in the mountains and mountains in the cave, just like this. Continuous, such a rich and diverse composite caves are really amazing!

The most spectacular scenery in the cave is the thirty-third heaven. The layered stalagmite groups are colorful and in various shapes, as if they have entered the illusory realm of immortals, just like the Western Paradise. Therefore, they get their name. Some people compare it to the Dunhuang mural of the Tang Dynasty, which is full of imagination.

In Yaolin Wonderland, you can see various stalactites. It is not an exaggeration to call this a sculpture museum, but the carvers are nature with extraordinary craftsmanship. Some are like palaces, some are like palaces; some are like dragons and tigers, some are like crows and eagles; some are like pagodas, some are like long pavilions; some are like old trees intertwined with roots, and some are like ancient vines intertwined with each other; some are like waterfalls flowing thousands of miles, and some are like running water day and night.
Strolling in the Yaolin Wonderland, you can truly feel the scenery step by step. What a wonderful experience it is to have ten different scenery steps!

Hampton Inn Tonglu Fuchun River

A perfect trip and a good accommodation are also very important. If you want to have a more pleasant and comfortable trip in Tonglu's mountains and rivers, I recommend staying in Tonglu County. Hampton Inn has always been my favorite hotel for travel, and there is a Hampton Inn on the banks of Fuchun River in Tonglu.

In Tonglu, Hampton Inn by Hilton has a unique location. The hotel faces Fuchun River across the street. There are many first-line river view rooms. You can enjoy the beautiful view of Fuchun River from sitting in the rooms. Walking into the hotel, measuring temperature, checking health codes, etc., the responsible and attentive staff carried out them in an orderly manner, which made people feel more at ease.

As Hilton Group's friendly brand for young people, this hotel continues the high-end style of Hilton Hotels. From the moment you stepped into the hotel, you started a wonderful hotel trip. The main style of the Hampton Inn is young and fashionable, so both the decoration and supporting facilities here are relatively fashionable.

Arriving at the guest room, the room is also eye-catching, especially the murals above the bedside of the room. The murals depict the unique local scenic spots in Tonglu. According to the waiter, the murals in each room are different. The wet and wet bathroom, all the office supplies, and comfortable bedding allow me to leave a good dream here and on the banks of the Fuchun River.

In order to allow guests to better appreciate the Fuchun River, there is also a small open-air garden on the top floor of the hotel. Coming here really opened my eyes. The gardens on the rooftop are really rare. Here, you can drink red wine while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Fuchun River and enjoy a leisurely and comfortable vacation life.

The Fuchun River not far away is suitable for both movement and movement. It is a fairyland on earth that the world yearn for. The bluish green river surface, with scattered sails and rippling blue waves, stands by the wind and is outstanding. The scenery here is just as Wu Jun, a man of the Six Dynasties, said in his "Book with Zhu Yuansi":"From Fuyang to Tonglu, it is more than a hundred miles, with strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world."

At Hampton Inn Tonglu Fuchun River, you can not only experience a comfortable sleeping experience and appreciate the beautiful Fuchun River, but you can also taste the unique Tonglu flavor. The eighth floor of the hotel is a dining center. We booked a private room with a view of the river. The Fuchun River under the night outside the window adds a little mystery.

In early June and summer, when it comes to the most must-miss delicacies this season, there will definitely be a place for frogs. Tonglu has many rivers and lakes, and the resources of frog are extremely rich. In Tonglu, people like to use spicy and delicious aroma to give this food the most attractive delicacy.

When you come to Tonglu, which has rich spring mountains and rivers, river fresh is naturally a delicacy that cannot be missed. Tonglu people who like spicy food will also use this method to give the fish head delicious. The extremely delicious fish head is coupled with spicy and delicious food. It can only be said that the soup is more delicious than the fish.

When I come to Tonglu, many of the delicacies here are hidden in mountains, forests and lakes and are not easy to obtain, but the delicacies here are still extremely rich. Tonglu is also a place that loves to eat chicken. Tonglu also has a lot of chicken practices. The most famous one is raw fried chicken, and the chicken soup casserole is also very delicious.

[DAY 2 Visit Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace, play Daqishan Park, and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of Tonglu]

When I come to Tonglu, Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace can be said to be a must-check scenic spot. Last year, Deng Chao and Sun Li took a group photo here made the place famous.

If you want to visit the Yan Ziling Fishing Platform, you need to take a cruise ship at the dock and travel by boat. The long Fuchun River water pushes open the poetic meaning of Qili Long.

The best mountains and rivers in the world, and rich spring is promoted in ancient and modern times. Sitting on the cruise ship, the summer breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness, and admiring this beautiful real-life picture of Fuchun Mountain Residence.

The Fuchun River in Tonglu County has always been known as the "Small Three Gorges", and the Yan Ziling Fishing Platform on the side of the Fuchun River is a good place to visit mountains and rivers.

Taking a cruise ship will not directly reach the dock of Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace. Instead, you will first tour up the Fuchun River. On the way, you will pass by Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace, and then you will continue to tour and appreciate this beautiful Fuchun River. The cruise ship is driving in the Fuchun River, and the mountains on both sides of the river are stacked on top of each other, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of you, thinking of the phrase "A green mountain is a screen, and a bay of clear water is a piano." Silent poems and sound paintings must be found on the Tonglu River."

In Chinese history, there were only two people who were famous for fishing through the ages. One was Jiang Ziya of the Shang Dynasty, and the other was Yan Ziling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancient fishing platform relics left by Duke Yan's fishing and the story behind them are more fascinating than the natural scenery of "the best mountains and rivers in the world, and the rich spring is promoted in ancient and modern times". What charm does it have to attract more than 1000 literati and literati since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, leaving more than 2000 poems and poems, and becoming China's most famous fishing platform?

Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace is named after Yan Ziling lived in seclusion in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yan Ziling was a hermit in the early Eastern Han Dynasty and studied with Liu Xiu in his youth. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, Yan Ziling was unwilling to become an official, so he changed his name and lived in seclusion in this beautiful Fuchun Mountain.

Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace consists of Dongtai, Xitai, Mr. Yan Temple, Shifang, Monument Garden, Diaoyu Islands, Fuchun River Small Three Gorges and other scenic spots. It is scenery one step by step. Although the place is not large, the scenic spots are quite rich and very photoable.

When I stepped ashore, what came into view was an archway standing facing the water. On the front of the archway, there are five eye-catching characters: "Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace", written by contemporary celebrity Zhao Puchu. On the back of the old archway, the four characters "Mountains are high and rivers are long" were written by the famous calligrapher Sha Menghai. Nowadays, this place has become a check-in point for Internet celebrities, so you must take photos here to commemorate the Olympics.

When you come here to taste fragrant tea, listen to fish singing, admire strange pines, view the stele garden, and play chess and cards, you can always find a place where your whole body and mind can be integrated into this intoxicating landscape and cultural scenery.

Many scenic spots in the scenic area are lined up along the riverside. Walking along the riverside, you can slowly feel the cultural heritage of this fishing platform. More than a thousand literati and literati visited and left more than 2,000 poems here, just as Fan Zhongyan's poem "The mountains and rivers are vast and the rivers are vast; the gentleman's style is the mountains and rivers are long", the Fuchun mountains and rivers here are vast and beautiful, and the character left by Yan Ziling will last forever!

There are many famous mountains in Zhejiang, and each peak can be said to be the leader, attracting tourists to explore. When I came to Tonglu,

Daqishan National Forest Park, which ranks first as Tonglu's landscape attractions, must check in. Therefore, there has always been a saying in Tonglu that if you don't reach Daqi Mountain, you will travel to Tonglu in vain.

Daqishan National Forest Park is located on the south bank of Fuchun River in Tonglu. It is a national forest park that integrates Jiangnan landscape and grassland scenery. There are both mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River and grassland scenery here. The green eyes in early summer make people feel the vitality of summer all the time. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see a large bamboo forest. It is full of Jiangnan charm and gives people a place to live in seclusion.

Daqishan Forest Park is a natural landscape of a canyon that goes up the river. Climb up the trail, and there will be cool streams and waterfalls next to it.

The small swimming pools along the way are crystal clear, the water surface is full of reflections of green trees, and the bottom of the lake also presents a beautiful blue-green. Colorful fish are playing freely in the water, quite like Jiuzhaigou.

The essence of the entire scenic spot is the Shijingyuan Canyon Belt. Walking along the path along the mountain, it is meandering, narrow, soft, or winding. The mountain road is winding, accompanied by streams, adding a kind of fun between mountains and rivers. Waterfalls, cable bridges, and pavilions are dotted on the road from time to time.

The natural scenery of Daqi Mountain is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth. It is famous for its heroism, danger, strangeness, beauty and openness. Therefore, together with Tongjun Mountain, Qili Yangfan, Fuchun River Small Three Gorges, and Yan Ziling Fishing Platform, it forms the most beautiful scenery of Fuchun River. Strolling through the Daqi Mountain Jingyuan Canyon Scenic Area, where there are mountain streams and canyons, various pavilions and bridges have been built along the way, embellishing the unique scenery among the mountains and forests.

In Daqi Mountain, the scenery of waterfalls and pools can be described as one step at a time. Among them, the more famous ones are Jinniu Pond, Guanyinjian, Longtan Waterfall, and Twelve Zodiac Pond. The fresh and elegant pool water atmosphere is gurgling water and the sound of waves. The deeper you go into Daqi Mountain, the more pleasant you will hear the sound of nature.
