This is the most worthwhile mountain to climb in Hangzhou.

Locals told me that this is the most worthwhile mountain to climb in Hangzhou! Don't miss it! When you visit Hangzhou, don't just linger around West Lake. There is also the interesting treasure land of Yuhuang Mountain! Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake and the Qiantang River. Moreover, you can drive directly to the top of the mountain! 📍Hangzhou Yuhuang Mountain Scenic Area 🚌Transportation: Take a bus to Yuhuang Feiyun Station and walk up the mountain. 🚘Self-driving is recommended! There is a parking lot at the entrance. If you don't want to climb the mountain, just navigate to Fuxing Temple at the top of the mountain! ✅Hiking route: Start from the main entrance of Yuhuang Mountain, pass by the Old Yuhuang Palace, Zilai Cave, Qiantang River Observation Deck, Fuxing Temple, Jianghu Yilan Pavilion, Old Yuhuang Palace, and Phoenix Mountain, and finally arrive at White Snake Feidu. ✅Photography tips: 🟡Fuxing Temple At the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake! The night view here is stunning. At dusk, you can see Leifeng Pagoda lit up, but the Caishen Temple next to it is currently not open. 🟡Zilai Cave This is a summer resort loved by locals in Hangzhou. In summer, it is very cool here. On sunny days, the sunlight penetrates the cave, creating a mysterious atmosphere. 🟡Bagua Field Take a few steps forward from the entrance of Zilai Cave, and you can overlook the Bagua Field and the Qiantang River. 🟡Popular vines At the entrance of the Old Yuhuang Palace, ancient and thick vines intertwine with each other.

The corridor winds through the forest, making it a perfect place to cool off and take a walk after dinner. ✅Travel tips: ▪Pay attention to sun protection and mosquito prevention. ▪The hiking route is long, so wear comfortable thick-soled shoes. ▪Prepare some water and food so you can enjoy the scenery and the fun of a picnic. ▪The Old Yuhuang Palace has vegetarian noodles, and there is a self-service vending machine at the entrance of Fuxing Temple.
