Jianshi Daciyan Grottoes | Zhejiang's Hidden Sky City

A Must-See Fairytale Date Spot for Couples 💘 Girls! I've unearthed a hidden gem near Hangzhou that's so off the beaten path, it's practically a secret! Just a 1.5-hour drive with my boyfriend, and we stumbled into a real-life version of "Love Between Fairy and Devil." Hanging temples, glass walkways, ancient ginkgo trees—it has it all! And the best part? It's so secluded you can practically have the entire sea of clouds to yourselves!! 📍 Cloud-Perched Hanging Temple This Buddhist sanctuary clinging to the cliff face is absolutely breathtaking! 🪔 Hand in hand, we walked across the 360° open-air steps, a hundred-meter abyss below and gilded Buddha statues beside us. It felt like we were traversing a celestial realm, facing trials and tribulations together. ✨ (⚠ Pro tip: Capture a silhouette of your clasped hands at the corner viewing platform, with your hair flowing in the wind!) 📍 Glass Walkway: The Ultimate Confession Spot The fully transparent U-shaped bridge hangs suspended in the mist. 🌁 I pretended to be scared and stumbled backward in the middle, and he instinctively caught me around the waist! (My little scheme worked perfectly!) The staff will help you take photos of your silhouetted hands, framed against the distant mountains and ancient temple—each shot looks like a movie poster! 📍 Thousand-Year-Old Ginkgo Couple Trees You absolutely must visit these 1,314-year-old sacred trees in autumn! 🍂 Two ancient trees intertwined, their golden leaves blanketing the ground—it's a sight that will take your breath away. Tie a red ribbon to the lowest branch, and as the mountain breeze rustles through the leaves and chimes the temple bells, you'll feel like you've grown old together in an instant. 📍 The Two-Faced Buddha Wonder The only two-faced Maitreya Buddha in the country! Strike a pose in front of the Buddha's hand sculpture, as if he's holding you aloft in his palm. 🧚♀ When I posted the photos, everyone asked if I'd gone to Dunhuang! 📍 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: A Bond of Incense Light a "heart-joining" incense stick at the Ksitigarbha Hall, 666 meters above sea level. 🔥 The monk told us this place is especially potent for seeking love and marriage. I secretly watched him as he closed his eyes and made a wish, his eyelashes fluttering. On the cable car down the mountain, he suddenly slipped a DR diamond ring on my finger. 💍 Who understands this feeling?! 📸 Couple Photo Tips ✔ Outfit: Hanfu or a plain long dress with loose hair for girls, linen shirt for guys. ✔ Must-Have Shots: Backlit kiss at the corner of the hanging temple, overhead shot of holding hands on the glass walkway, capturing falling leaves at the ginkgo trees. ✔ Props: Oil-paper umbrella (available for rent at the scenic spot), prayer wind chimes. 🚗 Driving Directions ▫ 1.5-hour drive from Hangzhou. Navigate to "Daciyan Scenic Area." ▫ We recommend staying at a mountaintop guesthouse! We booked "Yunqi" and woke up to a sky full of stars. ▫ Must-try: Jianshi tofu buns! The spicy meat filling is a revelation. Big data, please recommend this to couples in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! This place will truly make you believe "Love knows no bounds, even mountains and seas can be leveled." 💞
