Starting from Hangzhou, after 1.5 hours I ventured into a misty rain forest

Near Hangzhou I found a very mysterious hiking trail There are many towering ancient trees, rocky caves On rainy days, the mist lingers everywhere As if I had entered a misty rain forest - 📍Location: Lin'an Tianmu Mountain Great Tree King Scenic Area 🚘Transportation: About 2 hours from Hangzhou (navigate to Tianmu Mountain Visitor Center) - 🗺️Hiking routes: ✔️Full hiking route: Hongmiao ➠ Chanyuan Temple ➠ Yangzhi Pavilion ➠ Sanli Pavilion ➠ Wuli Pavilion ➠ Great Tree King ➠ Kaishan Old Hall ➠ Qili Pavilion ➠ Fuhu Waterfall ➠ Back Mountain Gate (9 km total, about 5 hours) ✔️Easy hiking route: Take the scenic area shuttle bus to the mountain top ➠ Great Tree King Scenic Area ➠ Wuli Pavilion ➠ Sanli Pavilion ➠ Yangzhi Pavilion ➠ Chanyuan Temple ➠ Tianmu Mountain Visitor Center (5 km total, about 3 hours) - Main attractions 📸 ✅Great Tree King: The core attraction of the scenic area, over 2000 years old, still standing despite withering. Next to it is a new Great Tree King, in its prime. ✅Kaishan Old Hall: Originally named Shizi Zhengzong Zen Temple, founded by the high monk Gao Fengyuan Miao, it became an important center for the revival of the Linji school. ✅Five Generations Under One Roof: A very old ginkgo tree, with 22 small upright branches sprouting from its base, truly representing five generations under one roof. - Tips for visiting 📝 1. The total elevation gain is about 800m, comfortable shoes are recommended. 2. There are basically no supplies on the way up, bring your own snacks and water. 3. When going down from the mountain top by shuttle bus, be sure to catch the last bus at 16:00‼️ 4. The forest has many mosquitoes, snakes, ants, so be cautious!
