Self-Driving from Yangzhou to Mogan Mountain in One and a Half Days｜Pitfalls to Avoid + Full Surprise Guide

Who understands, family! It’s really awesome for workers to rush to Mogan Mountain right after work on Friday😭 3.5 hours driving to escape the city, stopping by Liyang for delicious food, and checking in at Mogan Mountain + Longemont + Nanxun Ancient Town. The itinerary is tight but fully healing. Hurry up and save this pitfall avoidance guide! 🚗【Itinerary Route】 Friday night: Depart from Yangzhou → Stop in Liyang for a meal → 3.5 hours to reach Yucun Village, Mogan Mountain (stay near Yucun Square/Street for convenient dining and strolling) Saturday: Hike from Yucun Village up Mogan Mountain → Xiyan Pool (ticket pitfall warning) → Take the scenic area shuttle down → After lunch, drive to Longemont in Huzhou (Halloween event) Sunday: Longemont → Nanxun Ancient Town (free admission!) → Eat noodles and drink coffee by the river → Return to Yangzhou ⚠️【Mogan Mountain Pitfall Avoidance Highlights】 Take my advice! The essence of Mogan Mountain is really on the hiking trails! We hiked the whole way without taking any vehicles. The bamboo forest was serene and the air was amazing. But when we reached Xiyan Pool, they stopped us to charge an entrance fee 🎫. If you don’t buy it, you have to turn back the same way (who understands being exhausted after climbing up!) Gritting our teeth, we bought the ticket and found that the paid scenic area was full of similar artificial attractions, nowhere near as stunning as the natural scenery on the hiking trail! ✅ Suggestion: For those who just want to enjoy the scenery, hiking up to the ticket checkpoint is enough, then return the same way without loss; if you have good stamina, buy the ticket and then take the scenic shuttle down to save your legs! 🎃【Longemont Halloween Surprise】 Who hasn’t played the NPC interaction to exchange silver tickets! It’s basically the Jiangsu version of “Wansui Mountain.” You can get silver tickets by acting with NPCs, and once you collect enough, you can exchange them for small gifts 🎁. The Halloween atmosphere is fully immersive, perfect for workers to relieve stress and take great photos~ 🏯【Nanxun Ancient Town Hidden Gem Experience】 There are thousands of ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but what really hits me about Nanxun is the “free admission”! No commercial hustle and bustle, find a noodle shop by the river to enjoy a bowl of hot soup noodles, then have a cup of coffee and sit all afternoon. The breeze is super pleasant~ The ancient town is not big, strolling for 1-2 hours is just right, perfect for relaxing before heading back. 💡【Practical Tips】 1. Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking Mogan Mountain; the mountain paths are steep, don’t wear high heels! 2. Check the Longemont Halloween event guide in advance; NPC interaction skills can help you get more silver tickets~ 3. The noodle shops by the river in Nanxun Ancient Town are a must-try, great value and scenic! 4. Self-driving the whole way is super convenient; travel time between attractions is 1-2 hours, no traffic jams on weekends with off-peak travel~ The fatigue of a week’s work was completely healed by this short trip✨ No need to rush, no need to squeeze through crowds, it’s all about relaxation~ This is how weekends should be to escape the city!
