Explosive! No need to go to Vietnam, the [Cloud Wonderland] of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is here, and the Buddha’s Hand Bridge is breathtaking!
Walking along the mountain road in Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province 🚶♀️, two giant stone Buddha’s hands suddenly appear among the distant green mountains—the Buddha’s Hand Bridge in Qingyunqiao Village, Xukou Town 🌿🌿🌿! Hidden near the retreat of Huang Gongwang, it’s just a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Hangzhou, and you can get there directly by taking Metro Line 6 and transferring to bus 2107, super convenient transportation 🚇🚌!
As soon as you reach the foot of the mountain, the lively atmosphere grabs you~ You must try the Fuyang Longmen gluten on the small stalls 💥💥💥! The oily gluten wraps plump minced meat and bamboo shoots, fried to golden crispiness, biting into it bursts with juice 💦, salty and fragrant, super satisfying to eat while walking 😋! Climbing up step by step, the way is lined with lush bamboo forests 🎋 and babbling streams 💧, the mountain air is full of negative ions, and occasionally resting at a pavilion, listening to birdsong and water sounds 🐦, climbing the mountain doesn’t feel tiring at all~
Finally, the legendary Buddha’s Hand Bridge appears! Two huge stone Buddha’s hands suspend a glass walkway in midair, with a thrilling 200-meter elevation drop 😱😱😱. The bridge body winds like a ribbon, and the glass surface is so transparent it reflects the green mountains all around. Standing in the middle of the bridge feels like being held in the palm of the Buddha’s hand 🙏. Every shot you take is a “fairyland blockbuster” 📸📸📸. Light-colored clothes paired with the mountain mist instantly boost the ethereal vibe~ If you catch it right after rain when the clouds wrap around the Buddha’s hands ☁️☁️☁️, the whole bridge looks like it’s floating in a fairyland, stunningly speechless 🤯!
After descending, head straight to the farmhouse dishes for a feast 😋😋😋! Dongziguan rice cake is a must-try, with soft and sticky glutinous rice skin wrapped around a savory pickled vegetable and tofu filling, steamed hot and flavorful 🍘, paired with a cup of sweet rice milk to refresh the palate 🥛; Fuchun River mixed fish pot is so fresh you’ll stomp your feet 🦶🦶🦶, fresh fish cooked on the spot, the broth is milky and rich, served with local greens 🥬, one bite is eyebrow-raisingly delicious; and the old brand Sun Quan gluten, soaked in broth and paired with dried bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, is undoubtedly a perfect match for rice, you’ll want to have two extra bowls 🍚!
Don’t miss the “Buddha’s Hand Post Office” at the foot of the mountain 📮📮📮! You can get limited edition postmarks and buy Buddha’s Hand-shaped keychains and bookmarks as souvenirs 🎁, both beautiful and practical~ This trip offers the shock of the suspended Buddha’s hands, the freshness of the mountain forest, and authentic farmhouse flavors, delivering a full sense of healing.
