When it comes to Deqing, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is Moganshan. For Moganshan, I believe everyone is familiar with it. In recent years, Moganshan has always been a "holy land" in the homestay industry and a summer resort.

Deqing County is named after the saying "A person with virtue is as pure as water.". Known as a scenic spot in famous mountains, a land of fish and rice, a silk mansion, a land of bamboo and tea, and a land of culture. Within the territory, there are scenic spots such as Mogan Mountain, Xiazhu Lake, Xinshi Ancient Town, and French Mountain Dwelling Naked Heart Valley.

Mogan Mountain, one of the four major summer resorts in China and a national 4A level tourist attraction

Moganshan is named after the unparalleled male and female twin swords forged here by Mo Xie and his generals sent by the King of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn period. It is a national scenic spot. Although Mogan Mountain is not as grand as Taidai Mountain and the magic of Mount Huangshan Mountain, it is famous at home and abroad for its unique charm of Jiangnan landscape, "three scenic spots" of bamboo, cloud and spring, and "four excellent spots" of cleanness, quietness, coolness and seclusion. Along with Mount Lu, Mount Jigong, and Beidaihe, it is known as one of the "Four Great Summer Vacations in China" and is known as the "Cool World".

Moganshan is located in Deqing County, northern Zhejiang Province. It is 40 kilometers away from Deqing High Speed Railway Station and only takes about an hour by car. For tourists traveling along the high-speed railway or self driving in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this location is still relatively advantageous. Mogan Mountain is characterized by continuous undulations and beautiful scenery, earning the reputation of being the "number one mountain in Jiangnan". Nowadays, this picturesque and beautiful natural environment has become a popular destination for leisure and vacation in East China and even across the country.

Upon returning to Moganshan, I am still immersed in the original ecology, with lush greenery and a refreshing breeze and rustic atmosphere. The fresh and humid air is refreshing and refreshing. Looking around, the Manshan Homestay is located within it, making it a place that makes people want to stay once they come.

Moganshan is named after the swords forged by the generals and Moxie, and the Sword Pool is said to be the place where Moxie generals sharpen their swords, hidden in the secluded valley of Xiuhuang on Yinshan. According to legend, Mo Xie and his generals cast male and female swords here, sharpening them with mountain stones and quenching them with pool water, resulting in a sharp and long-lasting sword. There are many scenic spots here, mainly including four cascades of waterfalls, statues of generals and Mo Xie, sword grinding stones, sword testing stones, waterfall viewing pavilions, and cliff carvings.

In addition to the scenic spots, it is highly favored by celebrities and has a rich cultural landscape. Many literati and literati have left behind inscriptions of poetry and prose here, as well as over 200 celebrity villas hidden in deep mountains and lush forests, blending seamlessly with the beauty of Mogan Mountain. These villas come in various shapes and have become another unique wonder of Mogan Mountain. Nearly 200 villas with different architectural styles are still preserved throughout the mountain, nestled in the lush greenery and bamboo groves, exuding elegance and tranquility. The most eye-catching one among them is the Naked Heart Castle located on a hill.

The Moganshan Villa Group is therefore known as the "World Architecture Museum". The author of "Mogan Mountain Annals", Zhou Qingyun, once wrote a poem praising: "The uneven pavilions rise from high hills, half covered by smoke and half hidden by trees, with hundreds of springs and waterfalls flying, and the surrounding mountains dipped in bamboo." Such a unique combination of nature and culture deserves the reputation of "the first mountain in Jiangnan".

You can leave the villa group to the prestigious Zhiqi Pavilion (Cool Pavilion), which is connected with the Cool Pavilion by a path on Mantou Mountain. The mountaintop is about half an acre wide, with an antique style pavilion built on top, named Xuguang Terrace.

Tourists can enjoy a close and distant view here, enjoying the sunrise and sunset in the morning, and admiring the Yunhai Villa. The scenery is extremely spectacular.

The Xuguang Terrace is located on the top of a high mountain, with pavilions and towers on top. Looking ahead, the mountains stretch and meander, making it a great place to watch the sunrise on Mogan Mountain. Standing on the Sunrise Platform, one can fully capture the beautiful appearance and shadow of Mogan Mountain, with the mountain breeze blowing and the whole body cool and transparent.

Yu Village at the Foot of the Mountain: Republic of China Style and Yu Village Cultural Market

When you come to Mogan Mountain, besides experiencing homestays, many people mainly enjoy the scenery here. Whether it's the style of the town or the beautiful scenery of Mogan Mountain Scenic Area, it can be said that they all have vacation attributes. Strolling around Mogan Mountain, you will find that even the air is filled with a leisurely atmosphere.

When you come to Moganshan, be sure to take a stroll around the small town, take a look at the nostalgic Moganshan Station, sit leisurely in the artistic Yunheshan Tea Book House, stroll around the Yucun 1932 Cultural and Creative Park to admire the largest bicycle themed restaurant in the country, take a stroll at the Huangfu Memorial Hall, or experience the exotic atmosphere at the Benshe German style beer restaurant.

The Yucun Cultural Market at the foot of Moganshan is also a place for literary and artistic petty bourgeoisie in Moganshan Town. The park has exquisite and elegant coffee shops, an industrial retro bicycle themed restaurant, a youth hostel full of artistic atmosphere and design on the back mountain, and a uniquely shaped kiln baked dough bun... The entire cultural and creative park includes various formats such as an art and cultural exhibition center, a specialty agricultural market, and themed catering hotels.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Moganshan was once the place where former Chinese Foreign Minister Huang Fu lived in seclusion and attempted rural transformation. The eleven buildings in the market are mostly abandoned factories left behind by Huang Fu's establishment of a silkworm breeding farm here in the past. In recent years, Qingjing Company, founded by the elite of Taiwan's cultural and creative team, has begun to carry out new renovation and construction here. In less than a year, a cultural market with the dream of rural reconstruction was born.

This is not only a creative market that will include various formats such as art and cultural exhibition centers, specialty agricultural markets, themed restaurants and hotels, but also a small town with numerous landscapes, natural cuisine, and diverse customs.

Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park

Highlights of the game: Boating, Three Course Tea, and National Geographic Check ins

Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park is located in the southeast of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, with an area of approximately 36.5 square kilometers, a water area of 3.4 square kilometers, and a central lake of 1.26 square kilometers. It is a national AAAA level scenic spot, provincial-level scenic spot, Crested Ibis relocation protection and population reconstruction base in Zhejiang Province, a national wild soybean protection area, one of the 50 most worth visiting scenic spots in Zhejiang Province, and a Chinese ecological leisure tourism destination.

The scenic area is intertwined with harbors and reeds, with clear lake water, wild birds and aquatic flora and fauna. To this day, it still maintains the natural and rustic appearance of the Jiangnan water town. Riding a cruise ship on the lake, watching the rippling green waves, swaying reeds, and birds dancing, there is a certain flavor.

The exhibition hall showcases many bird species and other animal and plant specimens on the island, making it a good place for children to popularize science.

More than 600 islands are scattered on the lake surface, with over 1000 estuaries crisscrossing. There are also over 800 species of flora and fauna thriving here, including wild soybeans known as the "giant panda" among plants and crested ibis known as the "giant panda" among animals.

In late autumn, Xiazhu Lake is filled with reeds and shadows, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafts. The autumn wind is gusty, and the reeds are fluttering with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, making one feel relaxed and happy. When you come to the island, be sure to taste "three course tea" and listen to the origin of "three course tea".

Millennium Ancient Town: Xinshi Ancient Town

When you come to Deqing, besides sightseeing in the mountains and water, you can also visit the ancient town. There is a town with a long history in Deqing called Xinshi Ancient Town. The ancient town has a history of thousands of years, with a history of over 1200 years.

Xinshi is an important commercial port on the side of the Grand Canal in northern Zhejiang Province. It has been prosperous since ancient times, with a simple folk culture and a large number of talented people. Since the famous Taoist Lu Xiujing of the Southern Dynasty built a building here to study, modern young love novelist Wang Jialun has left many cultural relics. If you linger in it, you can't help but appreciate the purity and calmness of this place.

Among them, there are numerous Ming and Qing Dynasty residential complexes, Juehai Monastery, ancient bridges, and others. The residents built them along the river and the city was built by the bridge, with a strong and typical Jiangnan style.

The ancient buildings in the area of Xihekou Shuijie are relatively concentrated and well preserved, with considerable ornamental value. On both sides of the Water Street, the arcade buildings built along the water throughout history have basically maintained the characteristics of the old water town streets in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The ancient and elegant stone storage wall door, exquisite brick carved residential buildings, unique fire sealing walls, and stone embankments and riverbanks.

In addition, this place has also nurtured many magical stories, which have added a mysterious color to the ancient town. Zhang Yipin's lamb and tea cake are renowned both domestically and internationally, and the ancient town in the morning is often filled with the taste of delicious food. If you're tired of strolling, you can have a bowl of lamb noodles. The lamb noodles in Xinshi are made from the famous Hu sheep, and the lamb is fresh and fragrant without any odor, making it a must eat delicacy when visiting Xinshi.

Juehai Temple

Another highlight of the ancient town is the area around Juehai Ancient Temple, where there are ancient temples, old bridges, pawnshops of old shops, Liu Wang Temple, Juehai Ancient Temple, and relics of Guhuai Temple. In addition, the ancient town also has many museums, exhibition halls, etc.

The millennium old temple Juehai Temple is located at the north end of Yingsheng Bridge in Xinshi Town, Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. It began in the tenth year of Yuanhe reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty (815 AD) and was built as the "Great Tang Xingshan Temple". Zhong Siran, a native of Xinshi, purchased the tomb of Zhu Anqi, a high-ranking official of the Qi state in the Southern Dynasty. He reported to the Governor of Huzhou, Xue Rong, to build a temple at Zhu's tomb. Soon after, the temple was destroyed, and Yichang made great efforts to rebuild it. During the Tang Dynasty, a plaque was inscribed by Tang Yan Gong and a mountain gate was hung. The diameter of the book was three feet, and the style was strong and elegant. In the second year of the Zhiping reign of the Northern Song Dynasty (1065 AD), it was renamed Juehai Temple. It has a history of over a thousand years so far.

There are homestays everywhere in the mountain, but Mogan Mountain's homestays are unique. Therefore, when coming to Mogan Mountain, you must experience the local homestays. There are countless homestays of all sizes both inside and outside the Moganshan Scenic Area, scattered throughout various villages in the entire Moganshan Town.

Dwelling in Moganshan

At first glance, when I saw the Moganshan Jutu homestay, I fell in love with its simplicity. The courtyard was winding and secluded, with white walls and black tiles complemented by bamboo and green leaves. The homestay had a total of 25 rooms, divided into three types: modern style, traditional Chinese style, and upper and lower duplex suites. Each room is interspersed with Chinese elements, old wood, old windows, and Chinese calligraphy and painting.

The Shanju Tu Courtyard is shaded by green trees and surrounded by bamboo. Two swimming pools, one deep and one shallow, complement each other to create a unique visual experience in different seasons. Swimming in an environment surrounded by green mountains in summer and having a pool barbecue party in winter will be happy memories.

I heard that the boss of Shanjutu is a literati who used to work in publishing and printing. So there are many books in the hall, and it can be said that this homestay has such a large library, which is where the homestay owner's emotions lie.
