Moganshan, a name that lingers in one's dreams, has gained great fame in recent years as more and more people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai rush to this paradise on weekends and holidays, only to escape from the city's reinforced concrete.
I have been to Moganshan more than once, but most of the time I have gone to play on my own. This time, I plan to take my dad on a father daughter self driving retreat in the mountains and wilderness.

After a year, on a sunny day at the end of summer, the name of Moganshan echoes in my ears time and time again. This time, because I was with my old father, I chose to drive by myself. After all, it used to be too troublesome to transfer from high-speed rail to taxi to Moganshan. Renting a car to drive from Shanghai would be more suitable for a trip to Moganshan. And this time, my father and I are accompanied by FAW Mazda Atz, known as the king of curves.

King of Bend, Speed Mountain Journey

Although my driver's license has been in my possession for three years, I haven't really driven on mountain roads before. As a beginner driving on mountain roads for the first time, safety considerations are the most important.
As someone who just picked up the car, I couldn't help but be amazed by its super A appearance. The bright red color was dazzling, and the super A red color drove through the verdant mountain roads of Mogan Mountain, with a very high rate of turning heads.

Moganshan has numerous mountain roads, and the most important consideration is the stability and collision resistance when turning. This Mazda Atz combines high rigidity and lightweight, with a high-strength steel coverage rate of over 60%. The closed body structure and M-shaped door anti-collision beam design provide excellent collision resistance. Of course, no one wants their car to collide, so let's take a look at the safety performance of the Atz.

There is no safest, only safer. Mazda Atz is equipped with an upgraded i-ACTIVSENSE intelligent safety assistance system, which integrates 360 ° panoramic monitoring, brake assistance, front collision warning, lane departure warning, adaptive high beam control and other functions. Even novice drivers can calmly deal with various driving environments and problems, make correct judgments and operations, and feel much more at ease while driving.

Another noteworthy feature is Atz's GVC PLUS system, which is why it is known as the king of curves. This system not only improves handling performance, but also improves the instability of the rear end when driving at high speeds, enhances driving safety, and ensures the comfort of rear passengers.

At the beginning of the sharp turn, I drove relatively slowly and gradually found that the car was very smooth when turning, without a strong sense of tailspin, very smooth. Later, I tried to turn at 70 yards without slowing down, with a solid chassis and good support. With Mazda's built-in black technology GVC PLUS invincible, the king of curves, truly deserving of its name, the courage to open mountain roads is gradually increasing.

There is really no problem with the 2.5L power, it starts very smoothly, and there is no jerking sensation when accelerating. As long as I step on the accelerator, the power continuously feeds back. Later, in order to capture the scenery of Mogan Mountain, I was able to confidently hand it over to my dad.

Speaking of its appearance, several people came to ask me about this car when I was staying at a homestay. It was really eye-catching, and any young person who has seen this car would say it looks very good.

The exterior design of the Atz has a coupe like feel, with a handsome color scheme. The front and rear headlights of the car complement each other, and the lines look very smooth.

There is no problem with the front and rear space, it is very spacious, and the interior is relatively standard. The entire center console is made of soft material, with a lot of leather used, including the steering wheel which is also made of Italian top layer cowhide, with a very delicate feel. It is precisely this simple design that makes the operation more convenient. In the same car, its interior material is really genuine because the material is used well, and there is no unpleasant plastic smell in the car.

Other features, such as the center console and display screen, are also complete. Surprisingly, the sound system of Atz is still good, with strong and powerful bass, making driving on mountain roads more enjoyable. The elongated body and spacious space make driving very comfortable.

I usually drive some of my friends' cars, and when switching to Atz, my ability to take turns feels quite obvious. The most typical point is that on a big bend, Atz can easily pass without much deceleration and with just a turn of direction. But other cars don't work. If the speed is too fast, the car will tilt too much, and it feels like the car is about to overturn. Therefore, this Atz car is really suitable for weekends, holidays, and vacations with family and friends in the mountains and Peach Blossom Land. Driving in the city can also easily complete overtaking.

Moganshan Flower Appreciation Festival

When we arrived at Moganshan, it happened to be the opening ceremony of the Moganshan Flower Appreciation Festival, with a surge of people. It felt like the whole village of Moganshan had come out to admire the flowers and watch the performance.

The soul singer on stage kicked off the 6th Moganshan Flower Appreciation Festival with a passionate rock song.

The program reached its climax, with hundreds of people singing loudly on the square, "My country and I cannot be separated for a moment..." The resounding voice echoed over Yucun Square, with lingering echoes.

In fact, these are all local people from Moganshan. This Moganshan Flower Appreciation Festival has abandoned the traditional practice of inviting professionals from outside to perform. Instead, local people can interact and participate, bringing local people closer to the festival and making everyone more involved, not just the audience.

Everyone waved their national flags, igniting the atmosphere to the highest level.

During the opening ceremony performance, I coincidentally came to a small market around Moganshan to showcase local flowers and small handicrafts. During the break, I could buy a bouquet of flowers or wooden handicrafts to reward my weekend vacation.

Another highlight of the Flower Appreciation Festival is to enjoy flowers in outdoor extreme sports, and in Mogan Mountain, there is a Discovery that focuses on outdoor extreme sports.

The Discovery Extreme Theme Park adheres to the principle of "exploring nature and discovering oneself", focusing on three elements of outdoor sports, ecotourism, and popular science education to create an immersive experience led by outdoor lifestyle and an international tourism destination. The establishment of the Discovery Extreme Theme Park provides a new concept of "real entertainment" under the Discovery brand - exploration comes true, bringing the concept of Discovery rope from online to offline, integrating real outdoor environments, advanced outdoor facilities, international safety standards, a complete product system, and coaches trained according to international standards, providing excellent deep exploration experiences for global travelers and outdoor enthusiasts, and experiencing the soul shock of adventure.

The most interesting experience in Discovery is riding a hot air balloon to admire flowers at high altitudes. It's not my first time riding a hot air balloon, but it's still fresh to be able to admire flowers at such a high altitude.
It takes 15 minutes to experience a hot air balloon with a professional coach, so there's no need to worry.

After getting on the hot air balloon, you need to wear a hat because the flames are burning above your head, very hot.

Ascending into the air, one can overlook the entire lawn park.

At this moment, the flowers in the peach blossom forest of Mogan Mountain have all bloomed, and the peach blossoms on the mountainside adorn Mogan Mountain with utmost tenderness.
In addition to peach blossoms, I can also see a large area of yellow rapeseed fields. The flower hunt in Moganshan has helped me find many beautiful flowers.

Not only the flowers are gentle, but also the people of Moganshan. On the way to experience the delicious food in Xiantan Village, they saw many aunties wearing qipaos, holding oil paper umbrellas, walking slowly forward, with a hundred flowers paired with qipaos, which was perfect.

At the food festival, you can also see various specialties of Moganshan, such as Moganshan's most famous Moganshan Huangya. The best season to drink Moganshan Huangya is actually around Qingming Festival, which is the freshest tea leaves that have just been moistened by rain and dew. You can also see stir fried tea on site.

There are also these colorful green balls, some using purple potatoes and some using pumpkins, which will present different colors.

The hen soup eaten at the homestay is incredibly fresh and tender, truly worthy of being an authentic mountain chicken.

When it comes to Moganshan, many people will blurt out the word homestay. Moganshan, rated by The New York Times as one of the 45 most visited places in the world, has a place to escape for many people lost in the mundane world of the city due to its picturesque mountains and its return to simplicity.

When it comes to the homestays in Moganshan, many people's first reaction is the Naked Heart Valley and the French Mountain Dwelling... These unique foreign family music have become famous along with Moganshan. It is unclear whether Moganshan has created them or whether they have made Moganshan popular. In fact, there are many other exquisite and beautiful homestays in the Mogan Mountain area. Although they may not be as old as Naked Heart Valley, they are still injecting fresh energy into Mogan Mountain with their youthful vitality.

For me, the reason why the homestays in Moganshan are famous is not only because of their close breathing to nature, but also because of the thoughtful design and unique craftsmanship behind each homestay owner. This time, I took my dad on vacation to Moganshan and chose Mofan to enter the homestay. The design here, with its attention to details and pursuit of quality, has left me amazed.

The courtyard is deep, cultivating one's mind and body. Taking a comfortable vacation in the Mo Fan of Moganshan, I am moved by this small fortune.

The overall style of the room is also dominated by antiquity, very large, and comfortable to live in.

There is also an experience of picking wild vegetables in the homestay, and the food in the homestay is composed of various fresh wild vegetables, full of the taste of Mogan Mountain. The aunt of the homestay is very familiar with the nearby environment and knows where to dig bamboo shoots and pick wild vegetables. Therefore, friends who like to get close to nature can follow her to pick wild vegetables.

Good morning, Moganshan.
Wake up in the mountains and say goodbye in the sea of flowers.
Looking at the beautiful flower sea of Mogan Mountain.
May you always be beautiful as before.

In the Mogan Mountains, outdoor sports get dry

Nowadays, Moganshan is not only a homestay and Yangjiale, but also a reborn Moganshan. It has now been built into the Moganshan International Tourism Resort, and the Anli Resort in Moganshan County is the largest tourism and vacation complex in Moganshan, offering everything from horse riding, hot air balloons, outdoor exploration, and water sports.

The first stop was at the IPONY Riding International Youth Knights Academy in County Anli. The racecourse here is divided into indoor and outdoor. Watching the equestrian wearing handsome riding clothes and riding handsome horses, I couldn't help but want to try it out.

County Anli also has the world's first Discovery Exploration Extreme Theme Park, don't you think this is particularly familiar? That's right, this is the high-altitude net formation that scared the young man Ying Cai'er during his wife's romantic trip, which can be described as thrilling and thrilling.

Internet celebrity Moganshan cannot do without internet celebrity elements. The boundless swimming pool in the resort is the favorite of every girl. Outside the pool is the boundless forest, and the air is filled with fresh negative oxygen ions. Swimming in this natural environment is probably the happiest enjoyment.

Not only swimming, but also taking photos in the infinity pool is very beautiful, definitely a eye-catching tool in social media.

There are various water sports in the resort, such as paddleboarding and kayaking. If you happen to come to play in the summer, you must not miss these exciting water sports.

In addition to these, the resort also has hot air balloons and a large lawn, which are very suitable for friend gatherings or company team building. The reeds swaying gently by the river bring a unique and fresh texture to Moganshan.

County Anli continues the architectural style of Moganshan, which is full of exotic features. The main building was designed by Mr. Martin Yorkman, a genius architect in the architecture industry and the architectural miracle creator of Dubai Sailboat and Shanghai Deep Pit Hotel. Designers of different genres fully integrate architecture into the environment, providing a unique experience.

This highly creative lobby has also been chosen as the filming location for Huawei P30 advertisements, don't you think it looks familiar.

This main building is also a hotel, and both the interior and exterior are full of artistic sense.

Moganshan Internet famous Castle, Naked Heart Castle

Nowadays, people are becoming less and less fond of programmatic check-in at tourist attractions, and everyone now prefers a more relaxed and comfortable travel experience. At this time, homestays have become popular. And what ignited homestays is Moganshan in Zhejiang, where Yangjiale and the homestay industry once flourished, and its symbol is Naked Heart Fort.
In Moganshan, one must not miss the Moganshan Naked Heart Castle, which has made Moganshan famous overnight. The English style castle villa, originally built by Scottish missionary physician Metten, is now owned by Mr. Zhang Jingjiang and transformed into an ancient castle hotel.

Naked Heart Castle is a typical European palace style hotel, and the most unique feature is its atrium, with a three story elevated design that makes people feel like they are in an ancient castle in a TV drama. This place has also been selected as a filming location by multiple variety shows, such as the extreme challenge of the previous fire and his wife's romantic trip, which greatly impressed a group of celebrities.

Entering the Naked Heart Castle is like entering a medieval castle, with a high atrium and rotating stairs full of luxury. The Naked Heart Castle comes with a protagonist aura and has become a business card of Moganshan. Extreme challenges and romantic travels of wives all come here to take photos.

In Naked Heart Castle, there is a taste of European classical style everywhere, and every decoration is like a piece of art. Slowly listen to the past and present of this castle inside.
In the Naked Heart Castle, you may have the illusion of not knowing whether you are in the castle or a hotel, after all, the design inside is completely different from ordinary hotels. The study and wine cellar all restore the appearance of the castle before, and the old photos hanging on the wall tell the history of the castle. Although it is now a hotel, the castle still has a historical story.

The Naked Heart Castle has five themed suites, including a crypt, an addictive room, a royal family, a playboy, and a gang leader. There are also 30 cliff view suites located on the cliff edge, 25 luxurious courtyards, and 30 wing rooms to choose from. The atrium is its biggest feature.

However, if you want to stay in this castle for one night, the price is not cheap. The lowest is 2000 yuan, and the most expensive room even reaches 17000 yuan, which can be said to be a noble level accommodation. However, this price also includes three meals and various outdoor activities, belonging to the one price all inclusive type. Various enriching activities make the vacation not boring.

However, due to the high housing prices and a genuine desire to visit Naked Heart Castle, many people choose to come here for afternoon tea. The price of castle level afternoon tea is also not cheap, starting from 300 British three plate afternoon tea, which does not include tea. If tea is included, a meal of afternoon tea is estimated to cost around 500, which can be said to be very luxurious. However, carefully calculating this price is also reasonable, after all, it needs to match the environment of the castle.

Although the price of Naked Heart Castle is the highest among the homestays in Moganshan, both for accommodation and dining, many people still drive there. After all, this experience is still rare in China. Located at the highest point of a forest, the castle has a feeling of isolation from the world. This European style vacation feeling that can be experienced without traveling far to Europe can still attract the attention of wealthy people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

Moganshan Art Network Popular Homestay

Outside the Naked Heart Castle, there is a homestay that also caught my attention. Perhaps homestays are not uncommon in Moganshan, but this one has a considerable background. A magical hotel known as an art museum, a beautiful elf hidden in the misty mountains, and a powerful internet celebrity with high aesthetic value homestay, shout "Sesame opens the door" and Sesame Valley will open it for you.

The Sesame Valley homestay has a total of 61 rooms, each with a different decoration theme and style, but each room is very beautiful and full of strong artistic colors. Sesame Valley boasts an artistic hotel style, showcasing the artistic temperament and unique aesthetics pursued by young people.

This is a homestay where people can't help but want to check in and take photos. The unusual sofa uses various bright colors to collide, resembling an exotic atmosphere.

What surprised me the most was that every piece of furniture in the room was different. Some were designed by the owner themselves, while others were sourced from outside. When combined, they all looked very beautiful.

61 rooms with different styles showcase different personalities, rich internet celebrity color schemes, and a trendy retro industrial style, which really makes people reluctant to leave.

It is said that there are over 5000 art collections from all over the country in the restaurant and lobby, just like an art museum.

The rustic flavor of Moganshan

Taking a break from the summer in the Mogan Mountain Stream and enjoying the taste of the mountain homestay, it turns out that the rural flavor of Mogan Mountain is also so refreshing.

In addition to accommodation and vacation, the homestays in Moganshan can also be used as places for afternoon tea, small meetings, and friend gatherings. Due to the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere here, people can focus on doing something.

I met a group of people at a homestay, who are from Hangzhou and are engaged in Sino foreign education cooperation. They often drive here on weekends to hold discussion meetings. The fastest way to drive on the highway from Hangzhou is only half an hour. Compared to being in a reserved meeting room, the natural atmosphere here can give people more inspiration, probably because the air they breathe is different.

On the other side is the ocean of green tea fields, which is now the final season for tea picking before the Ming Dynasty. From a distance, you can see many tea farmers nestled in the green, doing their final picking work.

Following the steps and shuttling through the bamboo sea in the back mountain, one can see many bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground after the rain, growing to one-third the height of a person. As one moves and changes the scenery, they unconsciously walk onto the platform. The current platform is still very spacious, with only three or two tables and chairs, but it is an excellent viewing point for the tea fields across the river.

Under the rolling clouds, the bamboo and cloud seas intertwine, gazing at the misty clouds and the tranquility of Mogan Mountain, inhaling oxygen in the natural oxygen bar, and taking a short rest in the natural secret realm, life is not happy.

The farmhouse dishes in Moganshan are very fresh, with most of them being grown and picked in the backyard, full of the flavor of Moganshan. Just like the bamboo shoots in this dish of stir fried snow vegetables, which were just dug from the back mountain, they are very fresh and tender, and the full juice bursts out in the mouth with each bite, making the taste completely different from the city's bamboo shoots.

Fried meat cake, with a crispy outer skin and delicate meat texture.
Local specialty dried bamboo shoots and yam, with just the right sweetness and strong chewiness, are very delicious.

Moganshan Local Chicken Soup is my favorite dish of local chicken soup. It doesn't require any other seasoning. The pure boiled chicken soup has a natural and delicious taste that lingers on my lips and teeth.

Good flowers and vegetables, and more importantly, in front of us are the picturesque mountains and soothing music. This meal was truly comfortable.

The cuisine of Moganshan does not require too much monosodium glutamate seasoning. With just a little skilled cooking skills, the most simple taste of these wild vegetables can be revealed. I didn't have the exquisite appearance of a big restaurant, but it allowed me to taste the taste of home.

Good food and soup are complemented by good wine and tea. I heard that my dad loves drinking, so the homestay owner took out Moganshan old wine, also known as Huangjiu, and drank a cup of it. It has a refreshing and refreshing aroma, with a relatively low concentration. Even those who don't know how to drink can enjoy a few glasses. Perhaps I couldn't satisfy my dad with the low concentration of alcohol, so I took out yangmei wine, which was specially brewed by the boss. It has a rosy color and a mellow taste, indicating that the amount of yangmei was very abundant at the beginning of the brewing process. As soon as I drank a glass, I felt a little tipsy on my face.

I can't drink alcohol while driving, so I might as well have some Mogan Huangya tea. As one of the first provincial-level famous teas in Zhejiang, Mogan Huangya is not as famous as West Lake Longjing and Anji White Tea, but it has a faint and hidden taste. Mogan yellow teeth have a fine and tight appearance, with a green and slightly yellow color, and the bottom of the leaves is tender yellow and blossoming. Just boil it with clean water, stir the tea leaves to create a rolling fragrance, and the green tea gradually appears clear and transparent. Take a look, smell, and taste, take a slight sip, and the taste is fresh, refreshing, and rich.

The best time to drink Mogan Huangya tea is around the Qingming Festival, which is the freshest tea leaves that have just been moistened by rain and dew. The tea leaves collected are called "bud tea". In early summer, it is called "Mei Jian", in July and August it is called "Qiu Bai", and in October it is called "Xiao Chun". In fact, "Ya Cha" is the most delicate and tender.
After picking tea, it is necessary to boil it, but there are fewer and fewer people in Moganshan Town who can cook tea. Nowadays, most of the tea makers are experienced craftsmen from other places.

The End

Driving FAW Mazda Atz in the mountains and wilderness, experiencing the thrill of the king of curves turning, driving into the depths of Mogan Mountain forests, enjoying the pleasure and comfort of driving. Perhaps driving on mountain roads in this way is a different kind of pleasure compared to visiting scenic spots.
