In 2025, visit the "wild" park in Hangzhou.

When it comes to parks, people usually think of a place where time stands still. People can sit, look around, play, or bring their kids to play games. A comfortable day will pass by in the blink of an eye. Actually, Uncle Cricket thinks that if you have good physical strength, you can visit the "wild" park in Hangzhou. It has the Longtan Waterfall, a must-see for experienced hikers. If you like it, you can visit it. The park is Hangzhou Longmen Forest Park, a provincial forest park hidden next to an ancient town. Its main peak is Xingmei Peak, which is 1,068 meters above sea level and one of the highest peaks in the area. The valley has a 100-meter-high Longtan Waterfall and three Longtan Pools (upper, middle, and lower). It's very interesting! In winter, Hangzhou Longmen Forest Park is no longer as hot as in summer. It looks cool and gentle, with colorful scenery everywhere, showing its mature nature. You can enjoy the most authentic "wildness" while climbing the mountain! If you are visiting for the first time, you can follow the route below: Yaowu Village - Longmen Waterfall Rafting Entrance - Longmen Mountain Waterfall - Longmen Mountain Reservoir - Qifengkou - Huangmei Peak - Xingmei Peak - Return/You can also take the loop. The road is quite primitive and rocky. The road along the stream to the waterfall is easy to walk. When you are about to reach the "Longmen Mountain Waterfall", there is a steep and wild road of more than 300 meters with different stone piles, which adds difficulty to the journey. However, with the mountain wind, you can reach the "Longmen Mountain Waterfall" in one go. At that time, thousands of water droplets will gather and pour down like a jade dragon dancing, making you feel refreshed and immersed in the exclusive winter scenery! After a short rest, you can continue to "Xingmei Peak", which is very challenging because there are many stone roads that you have to climb with your hands, making you feel like you are really climbing a mountain! In addition, the wind is very strong at "Qifengkou". You need to return to this place after reaching Xingmei Peak. Please note that the return journey is not a big problem. Continue to walk down the loop. The road is difficult to walk, steep, and slippery. You must bring a climbing stick, which makes it easier and safer to climb down the mountain! The whole journey takes about 6 hours. There are supply stations in "Yaowu Village" and "Longmen Mountain Reservoir". Sometimes there is no signal, so it is best to bring cash. If you are traveling with children and are physically exhausted, you can return to "Longmen Mountain Reservoir". After talking with many hikers, they think that Hangzhou Longmen Forest Park is "wild". The park has reduced the difficulty of climbing while retaining the wild environment, bringing a good climbing experience to everyone. It is a must-see for experienced hikers!
