My friends thought I went to New Zealand after seeing my posts!

The viral "Little New Zealand" is actually hidden in Anji! Just came back from Cloud Valley Resort and compiled 10 ultimate tips to avoid pitfalls – perfect for families/kids or those wanting to fake an overseas trip~
Just returned from Cloud Valley Resort and stayed up late to write this foolproof guide – full of hard-earned lessons and thoughtful reminders. Must-read for anyone planning to visit!

1. Tickets & Accommodation
Single-day ticket + cable car + shuttle costs ¥360 (kids under 1.2m free). Strongly recommend the resort hotel package for families – ¥1699 includes 1-night stay + 2 Cloud Valley tickets + 2 Panda Park tickets + breakfast (valid 2 days)! The resort is huge – impossible to explore in one day. The package is way more cost-effective than separate purchases, plus staying onsite saves travel time. Total value!

2. Recommended Itinerary
The resort has Panda Park at the base and Cloud Valley up the mountain. Day 1: Panda Park. Day 2: Take cable car to Cloud Valley. Perfect pacing.

3. Two Main Zones
Cloud Valley has "Alpine Meadow" (kid-friendly with playgrounds, great photos) and "Cliff Adventure Park" (thrilling rides, minimum 1.4m height). Choose accordingly.

4. Timing Matters
Opens 9:00-18:00. Last cable car up at 15:00. Summer latest entry: 16:30. Don't miss it!

5. Transportation
Best by car: 1hr from Hangzhou, 2hrs from Shanghai. Alternatively, take train to Anji Station then taxi (but driving is easier).

6. Food Warning
Resort food is pricey/mediocre. Bring snacks/water. Food delivery is hard to get here – come prepared!

7. Hobbiton Photo Heaven!
Like entering a fairy tale – even more photogenic than NZ's Hobbiton! Best in morning with mist effects. Might spot sheep too – instant overseas vibes! (Check real photos 1-3 – my friends went crazy over these!)

8. Top 7 Kid Activities
- Sky Cart (Pic 4): 1314m track from mountaintop – like real-life racing game!
- Bamboo Rafting (Pic 5): Winding downhill through bamboo forest – cool & exciting
- Petting Zoo (Pic 7): Feed animals up close – kids love it
- Cloud Coaster (Pic 8): 10-min wait, free & fun – must-try
- Grass Sliding (Pic 9): Gentler than rainbow slides – all ages can enjoy
- Circus Show (Pic 10): Small venue but world-class acts – family favorite
- Kids Valley: Donut slides, "Dad-powered" coaster – perfect for toddlers

9. Hotel Guide
- Best for kids: Squirrel Tribe (themed rooms, play areas)
- For sunrise chasers: 1168 Starry Sky Hotel (empty Hobbiton shots before 8:30)
- Family groups: Yunshan Mirror Resort (budget-friendly)
- Quality seekers: Half Mountain Bamboo Hotel (spacious, mid-range)

10. Weather is Key!
Avoid rainy days! Outdoor activities close, photos lose magic. Sunny days = double the Instagram-worthiness!
