Mogan Mountain (Moganshan), nestled in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, is renowned for its lush and tranquil environment, making it one of the top summer retreats in the region. Moganshan Scenic Area is particularly famous for its extensive bamboo forests that stretch across the landscape. Natural wonders like springs, waterfalls, and the unique 'cloud sea' also attract many tourists. For activities, hiking through lush trails, exploring the architectural diversity, and enjoying the local cuisine are highly recommended.
Among the notable attractions are the well-preserved European-style villas, which now serve as historical reminders and accommodations for visitors, narrating stories of their former residents, from foreign missionaries to historical political figures. Moreover, the mountain brims with a rich and captivating history, including enchanting tales of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, the ancient swordsmith couple, further enhancing its allure.

All Moments About Mogan Mountain
Moganshan! Private hot spring! So city.
Found the hotel of my life in Moganshan 🏨
As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't help but send a video to my parents. The whole environment is super cozy 🍃! 270° floor-to-ceiling windows with a view, and a huge mountain view 🌄 outside the window. You don't even need a filter to take photos. You can have afternoon tea ☕, chat, and do some crafts at the homestay's small bar.
There are many room types, most of which have private hot springs. My favorite is the outdoor private hot spring on the top floor of the homestay ♨ with a high-altitude view overlooking a whole bamboo forest and mountain sea. There is also a fireplace and a tea room next to it. Enjoy the sunset in the distance in the evening. It's super romantic. I look forward to coming back here in winter to see the hot springs and starry sky 🌌
Mogan Mountain Ladies Getaway
#passionpassport #teacherventure Mogashan is the perfect getaway, to relax get out of the big city. Lots of guesthouses and hotels to choose from. The air is fresh and the peace and quiet is refreshing. The guesthouse owner was very hands on and from the moment we arrived he took care of us. Bringing us watermelon and cold water for a welcome snack, helping us with our bags. We could use the kitchen to make our meals and the swimming pool was clean. Anything we needed the owner gave us and more. Lovely stay in Mogashan will be returning.
Hotsprings with a view
🚗Getting There - It’s situated over an hour ⏰away from Huzhou city. You’d need a car to get there. You could also take a train🚊 from any other city to Deqing and a taxi from there. Make sure the driver drops you at the parking lot to avoid walking up a steep hill.
📍Address: Moganshan 莫干山蕨宿温泉美
🤩Attractions - Surrounded by mountains ⛰ and bamboo trees🎋 on a hill. Who wouldn’t love that? A hot spring tub is available for 180元 per session, which is an hour long. There is one room that has a built in hot tub in the room for exclusivity. There is a large swimming pool, which was drained out at the time of my visit due to the weather conditions.
🏨Hotels - This Villa has multiple rooms with mordern rustic interior design.
🍽🍛Food & Restaurants - There is a restaurant on site, but one has to order in advance.
🛍Shopping - There’s not much shopping to do around there except minor souvinirs. I’d like to believe people go there for retreats rather than shopping.
Cost: Rooms from 800元per night

Moganshan Vacation
Moganshan is a perfect place for a quick getaway. Though there is no airport or train connection, you can easily get there by bus or taxi from either Hangzhou or Shanghai, though Hangzhou is much closer.
Within the town there are plenty of places to stay. You won't find any big hotel chains, but that's the beauty of Moganshan. Every place here is unique. Yes, there are luxury hotels, but the best places to stay are the smaller hotels that only have a couple of rooms. You can even rent out the entire space.
While you are there, you can get to the top of Moganshan by taking the shuttle bus. Personally, I would have enjoyed hiking up, but it's all along the roads plied with busses. Luckily, on my way down, I found a different path that cut through the bamboo forest.
Snowy Moganshan
Mogan Mountain is a famous mountain in the northern part of Zhejiang Province. It is located 60km north of the provincial capital of Hangzhou City and is known as a summer resort and sightseeing spot. It is 720m above sea level, and it is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, swordsmith Ganjiang of Wu and his wife Mo Ye forged swords in the mountains, which is where the mountain got its name. There are many springs, ponds, and waterfalls, as well as flower fields and bamboo forests. It is very beautiful in spring and summer, but snow-capped Mogan Mountain is even more beautiful.

MoganShan- Ultimate staycation!
Getting there- Take the fast train to Hangzhou, or change to Deqing station and from there hire a didi or taxi to take you on to your hotel.
Attractions- MoganShan is known for its beautiful, lush green scenery. The best way to enjoy it is by relaxing outdoors or going on a hike in the surrounding area. We walked around Laolingcun scenic area, which provided beautiful views and had restaurants for lunch. Another option is ‘Discovery adventures’- if you are interested in high rope courses or rock climbing then this is a great activity Center to try some new things.
Whilst we were there it was extremely quiet and peaceful, would recommend as a relaxing break from the city!

Moganshan and it’s gorgeous reservoir’s 🌿
Getting There - You can take the high speed train to Hangzhou and from there take a taxi to Moganshan.
Attractions - Many beautiful hiking trails. 🥾
Despite the doom and gloom of winter I wanted an escape from the City yet again. 🌧
I wanted to walk amounts the trees and wake up to Mountain View’s, Moganshan was the perfect little escape it’s not too far from Shanghai and it perfect for nature lovers like myself. 🏔
Along our hike we found many gorgeous reservoirs as blue as the sky, with the gorgeous mountains as a backdrop to bring it all together. 🛶
I’d suggest booking a hotel that’s in the mountains and not in the town area to get as much needed downtime as possible. 🏨

R & R in Moganshan
I love playing around with the huji app for my photos. it gives photos a fun, retro aesthetic 📸 📸
I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in this tub 🛀 and taking some much needed self care time.
We need time to defuse, to contemplate. Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams, so at some time in the day we need to disconnect, reconnect, and look around us.
moganshan is definitely one place to defuse, clear your mind and take in all the beautiful, simple things nature has to offer. it was a convenient escape from Shanghai city life 🙌🏾

Moganshan: Great Trip Close to Shanghai
If you’re looking for a place to get away this summer, Moganshan is a few hours from Shanghai in Zhenjiang Province. The national park itself is quite lovely, but you can also find plenty of spots for hiking or enjoying the landscapes in the nearby villages and towns.

See Moganshan from another angle
💚In addition to the holiday villas in Moganshan, the scenery at the foot of the mountain is also excellent.
💚It is also a good choice to find a homestay at the foot of the mountain and spend a leisurely weekend with a group of friends.
❤️This time we accidentally found a helicopter pad in the lavender garden around the homestay.
❤️Surrounded by a vast sea of flowers and fields, it is simply the best place for drone photography!
🥰 Recommend friends who want to fly drones in Moganshan not to miss this great place!

Moganshan,
Moganshan, Chairman Mao's place of residence
Chairman Mao's place of stay is located at No. 126, Shangheng Road, Mogan Mountain Scenic Area. In 1934, he was newly established by Jiang Yie, Managing Director of Zhejiang Industrial Bank. In 1948, it was leased to the Xiqiao Hotel in Hangzhou. At that time, the beautiful brand cigarettes were popular. Because the beauty cigarettes were comparable to the Queen, the owner was named after the Queen. In March 1954, during the presiding of the first constitution of New China, Chairman Mao was accompanied by staff to visit Shangshan. He stayed here and was attracted by the natural beauty of Moganshan. He wrote a poem entitled "Seven Musts Moganshan". : "Turning back into the seven-person room, returning to the first peak into the Cang Cang. Forty-eight sets have passed, and Fengchi has already arrived at Qiantang." Since then, the Queen's Hotel has become famous and has become a must-see for tourists. There are exhibition rooms, historical materials, relics, etc.

The family room is attic. The whole decoration style is the French country style, giving a very pleasant feeling. There is also a wine cellar in the basement and lots of wine. Stayed for about 2,000 yuan a night.

Moganshan In addition to the scenic scenery, it is also favored by celebrities, and the human landscape is quite rich. How many literati have left poetry inscriptions here, and there are more than 200 celebrity villas hidden in the mountains and forests, and the beauty of Moganshan is integrated.

Moganshan
Moganshan is one of the famous holiday resorts and a famous homestay. In the idea of returning to the original life, I chose the original Qingyuan. The owner of
is a designer, but he didn't use too much design skills for the original house. Instead, he made a simple and simple way to make "no design" the ultimate. Entering the room is the wall of cement, simple tables and chairs.
The owner of the homestay said: The Chinese countryside is unique in its beauty. It is transmitted from history and transmitted from the wilderness. The original is the original, meaning "exploration" in ancient Chinese. Using the attitude of inquiry, the origin of life is the revelation that the original house wants to bring to each visitor.
The mission given by the original house is not only the homestay, but also the realization of the attitude of life, in a way back to the original. It brings people's mind and body from the city into a more simple and natural village, and between the pitches, it is the world.
If you like small animals, then you will not be bored. In the original house, not only the cute dog, but also the cute comet, it will appear to you from time to time, reading books with you, drinking tea, and looking at each other. In fact, whether it is Wangshan or Yitian, the owner wants to convey the same thing and return to simple life.

Moganshan staycation🏡
Avoid the May Day holiday and head into the mountains for some fresh air.
From Le Monastère & Resort Yucun to Biwu,
gradually delve deeper into Moganshan.
Enjoy a comfortable stay anytime, anywhere.
Moganshan in May is especially beautiful.
The weather is sunny 🌿, and the flowers are in full bloom 🌸.
I spent a day playing with my two kids in Yucun, and then stayed at Le Monastère & Resort. It's really convenient to travel with kids. The front desk still has that warm smile 😊 and is especially considerate.
Basically, we just walked around. It takes about 10 minutes to get to Mocun Department Store if you take your time strolling.
Dinner was also at Le Monastère & Resort. The braised pork with dried bamboo shoots is absolutely delicious 👍🏻. The restaurant 🌿 is surrounded by greenery, and it's a great mood for eating.
📷 Record the happy times of the two kids at the homestay.
Another unforgettable and beautiful memory 🩷
