Tonglu is a tourist city renowned for its beautiful scenery and rich cultural heritage. Here's a Tonglu travel guide: Transportation • External Transportation: You can choose to take the high-speed rail. It only takes 30-40 minutes from Hangzhou to Tonglu, and about 1.5 hours from Shanghai. You can also drive, which takes about 1.5 hours from Hangzhou. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Hangzhou West Bus Station to Tonglu. • Internal Transportation: Driving or renting a car is the best option, offering convenience and flexibility. You can also choose to take a taxi or ride-hailing service, which is convenient within the county and for traveling to and from the high-speed rail station. During peak tourist season, there may be direct buses from the high-speed rail station or the county to major attractions; check in advance. In addition, there are buses connecting the county to major towns, but the frequency is low and the journey takes longer.

🌿Preface: What is Tonglu?

The misty waves of the Fuchun River, the bluestone slabs of the ancient village, the green waves of the bamboo sea, and the magical caves all weave together a soothing dream of escaping the concrete jungle. --- 🗺️ [2-3 Day Itinerary] 🔹Day 1: A Landscape Painting Tour · Fuchun River Poetry Route · Morning: Yan Ziling Fishing Platform ✅ Cruise the Fuchun River's Little Three Gorges and experience the feeling of "sailing on the turquoise waters, swimming in a painting" (boat ticket + entrance fee 125 yuan, boats depart on time before 8:00 PM for minimal crowds). ✅ Climb the East and West Platforms to overlook "the finest water in the world" and check out the "Mountains High, Rivers Long" stele forest inscribed by Fan Zhongyan. 💡Tips: Summer boats lack air conditioning, so it's recommended to visit in spring or autumn.

In the evening, rent a bike in Luci Village. The sunset paints the Fuchun River a honey-colored hue. You chase the light, your shadow stretching longer than your childhood. Treat yourself to a late-night snack of fermented rice steamed buns with stinky tofu, the cicadas' chirping background music, the stars their neon lights. It turns out that slow living isn't about escaping, but about tuning your heartbeat to a natural rhythm. In Tonglu, a good night's sleep is more valuable than KPIs, and a sunset is more soothing than a report. On the way back, pack a bag of mountain breeze and put it in the city fan to add a bit of Jiangnan coolness to your daily life.
Only after visiting Fuchun River Town did I realize that summer here is all about soaking in the water. Our first stop was Luci Village. The stream was so clear you could see tiny fish lurking in the cracks of the rocks. The moment I stepped into the shallows, my feet were chilled to the bone—this is a Class II stream, swimmable. It happened to be the village's fishing festival, and I chased flathead fish barefoot, splashing mud and laughing my ass off. Finally, I held two grass carp as "trophies," which the B&B owner immediately prepared for me, making a delicious milky white fish soup. The next day, I woke up early to go to Yan Ziling Fishing Platform. Don't rush the early boat; the light is softest after 4 p.m. As we sailed through the S-shaped river bend on a pleasure boat, the mountain's reflections in the water made it look like a living rendition of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." While enjoying the breeze at the summit of Dongtai, a water vendor remarked that this place held stories of hermits from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking down at the egrets flying across the river, I suddenly understood why the ancients sought refuge there. The biggest surprise was the water splashing carnival on Xigang's "Happy Street." The 300-year-old ancient street was flooded by the stream, and adults and children were fighting with water guns. I hid at a snack stall, nibbling on fried dough sticks. The owner handed me a bowl of magnolia tofu, so cold it made me shiver. That evening, I had stir-fried chicken at Pangpo Restaurant. The chicken was so tender it fell off the bone, accompanied by freshly baked potato pancakes. I ate three bowls of rice before I was done. Before leaving, I rented a bicycle and cycled along the greenway from Jiangnan Bridge to Shishe Village, enjoying breathtaking views of the river and rice paddies. Passing by Maoping Village, I wandered in. The horse-head walls of the old Qing Dynasty houses were particularly striking. At the village entrance, an old woman sold glutinous rice dumplings in gray soup, their salted egg and buttery aroma soaking the glutinous rice. Fuchunjiang Town is not just a quick check-in spot; it's a place where life can be lived like an ink painting. #ThePlaceYourFriends is Asking the Most
