This time I was truly blown away! Who would've thought there's such a fairy-tale forest paradise hidden near Hangzhou🌳!
The moment you step in, you're greeted by towering ancient trees✨ so massive it's said ten people could barely wrap their arms around them! Countless times I couldn't help but look up in pure wonder - honestly, only "awe-inspiring" does it justice!
Along the way, besides the soul-penetrating emerald greenery🌿, there are crystal-clear streams🌊 and breathtaking waterfalls! The air is so fresh you'll never want to leave! If you're a hiking enthusiast or just a nature-loving kid at heart, this place is absolutely unmissable!
📍King Tree Scenic Area, West Tianmu Mountain, Lin'an
🚗 Just 1.5-hour drive from downtown Hangzhou - super convenient!
✅ Hiking routes incoming, pick your adventure! 👇
👫【Standard Route (Immersive Experience)】
Chanyuan Temple → Three-Mile Pavilion → Five-Mile Pavilion → King Tree → Longfengjian Parking Lot (take shuttle down)
⏱️ About 3 hours uphill, 0.5 hour downhill by shuttle. Navigate directly to📍Chanyuan Temple to begin!
👫【Leisurely Route (Easy Access)】
Head straight to South Gate, take shuttle🚗 to Longfengjian Parking Lot (¥20/person one-way), then just 20-minute walk to the core King Tree area!
Return same way to South Gate for shuttle down.
Super relaxed, recharged in 1-2 hours! 😎
✅🌟Pro Tips - Save These!
1️⃣ No mountain entry after 14:00! Summit seekers should depart before noon! Fast hikers can reach top in ~3 hours!
Last shuttle departs at 17:00 - plan carefully! ⏰
2️⃣ Travel light for King Tree hike!
With mountain+water paths, waterproof hiking shoes are absolutely essential!
3️⃣ Weather's getting hotter! Sun protection (hats, UV clothing!) and hydration are musts! ☀️
