[2025 Anji Stay] Travel Guide for Anji Spring Alpha Resort (Updated May)

## Jiangnan Tianchi: A Cloud-Top Secret in Northern Zhejiang, Where You Can Encounter Stars and Hot Springs **Have you ever imagined?** Atop a mountain nearly 1,000m above sea level, there lies a pool of water as blue as the sky, surrounded by a sea of bamboo, with windmills gently turning. At night, you can reach out and grab the stars, and in winter, you can soak in a hot spring while enjoying the snow—this isn't Switzerland, but Jiangnan Tianchi, hidden in Anji, Zhejiang! **📍 Location:** Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It's a 1.5-hr drive from Hangzhou and about a 3-hr drive from Shanghai. **🌿 Recommended Activities:** 1. **Stroll Through the Tianchi Secret Realm** - Take a walk along the 4 km circular trail. The lake reflects the green mountains and white clouds like a mirror. Azaleas surround the area in spring, and the forests are ablaze with color in autumn. - **Must-see spots:** Observation deck (for panoramic views of Tianchi), Love Maze (with purple verbena fields), and the observatory (one of the largest in Asia). 2. **Stargazing Camping and Sunrise Cloud Sea** - Stay in a lakeside tent or a nearby B&B. Climb to the stargazing platform in the early morning. The Milky Way is clearly visible in summer, and you may encounter frost and a sea of clouds in winter. - **Tips:** The observatory requires advance booking for observation activities. The best time for stargazing is after the 25th day of the lunar month. 3. **Winter Limited Romance** - The ski resort has an 800m beginner ski run, perfect for beginners. After playing in the snow, head straight to the mountaintop hot spring (we recommend the cliffside pools for a double enjoyment of snow and hot springs). 4. **A Paradise for Driving Enthusiasts** - The 18 km mountain road "Tianhuangping Line" is known as the "Autumn Mountain of Zhejiang." There are several observation decks along the way, and the red leaf tunnel in late autumn is a visual feast. **🍜 Anji Cuisine:** - For lunch, we recommend **braised pork with dried bamboo shoots** + **Anji white tea** at the Tianchi Restaurant. Down the mountain, you can try local chicken soup and a bamboo shoot banquet. - Hidden gem: **Lao Li Jia Local Restaurant** in Tianhuangping Town, where the boathead fish and glutinous rice cakes are a must-order. **📅 Best Season:** - **Beautiful in all seasons, but with different experiences:** - Spring (Apr–May): Azalea sea + tea picking experience - Summer (Jun–Aug): Summer camping + stargazing season - Autumn (Oct–Nov): Colorful forests + cycling festival - Winter (Dec–Feb): Skiing and hot springs + frost wonders **💡 Useful Tips:** - Tickets: CNY 80 (discounts for online purchases in advance), skiing/hot springs are charged separately - Accommodation: If your budget allows, choose the **Observatory Hotel**. For cost-effectiveness, we recommend the **Da Nian Chu Yi Homestay** on the mountainside. - Special experiences: You can participate in the alpine music festival in summer and the icefall climbing project in winter. - Avoid: Be careful going up the mountain on rainy days, as heavy fog can affect the viewing experience. **✨ Catchy Slogan:** "This isn't the highest Tianchi, but it's the 'Sky Mirror' closest to the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area—when the city's neon lights blur the starlight, the Tianchi's night still retains the original appearance of the Milky Way." **🚗 Recommended Itinerary:** Day 1: Jiangnan Tianchi (stay on the mountaintop) Day 2: Visit **Yucun** (the birthplace of green waters and green mountains) + **Tian Yuan Jia Le Bi Paradise** (a must-go for families) down the mountain This "Most Beautiful High Mountain Pumped Storage Power Station in Northern Zhejiang" certified by *Chinese National Geography* is telling you with the beautiful scenery of the four seasons: The tenderness of Jiangnan can also be so magnificent.

"If You Are the One 2" featured the beautiful Sanya Bird's Nest Resort, I wonder if you still remember it. In fact, this hotel group has another resort in Anji, which might also be the largest resort in Anji - Anji Lunar New Year's Day Resort. Resort Introduction The Lunar New Year's Day Resort is located on both sides of the river in the town of Tianhuangping. Inspired by the Ming and Qing ancient buildings with pink walls and black tiles, it is simple and pure. Although it is not as stunning as the Bird's Nest Resort at first glance, it is definitely comfortable and pleasant. The Lunar New Year's Day Resort covers an area of 400 acres and has more than 1200 rooms, including rooms, suites, and villas. This scale is rare in the whole country. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to call it a scenic town. Surrounding Play The Lunar New Year's Day Resort is not far from many attractions, and it is very convenient to go to Jiangnan Tianchi Ski Resort, Tianxia Yinkeng, Canglong Baipu, Jiulongxia and other attractions. Dazhuhai The Dazhuhai in China is a forest area centered on Wuhu Village, Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, with an area of 666.7 million square meters and mainly dense bamboo forests. This is also the hometown of Wu Changshuo, a master of the generation, with outstanding people and brilliant culture. Spring Pool The high-quality hot spring developed independently is formed by the heat of the local ancient crust deep and the fresh water seeping into the ground dissolving carbonic acid and then dissolving the trace elements in the surrounding slate. The water is clear and transparent, drinkable and bathable. Opera Teahouse. Yue Opera "Eighteen Farewells", "Prodigal Son Becomes a Dragon", Huangmei Opera "Bridal Chamber", the Lunar New Year's Day Theater Teahouse, as the first tea culture and opera culture combined tourism format in Anji, has won great praise from guests. Come here for tea, and you might be able to feast your ears.

There is also a layout of the courtyard. The house of the courtyard is relatively spacious, and the types of rooms are different. There are family rooms, duplex suites, and luxury family rooms. However, the rooms here are generally reserved for single rooms, so they may not know each other with a person in your yard. This is also the flavor of the old Beijing, although everyone did not know at the beginning, but everyone will be familiar with each other. This unique approach is quite rare in other places. There is also an ordinary apartment, the room is quite spacious, this time is the type of room I stayed in. Although the average apartment is spacious, there is a balcony that offers a panoramic view of the town. There is also a particularly comfortable sofa on the balcony to enjoy the dwelling experience. The whole design is comfortable and warm. There is fresh fruit in the room. It is also a good experience to enter the room after dinner and eat some fruits to watch TV.
