[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiuxi Scenic Area (Updated Apr)

I went to Jiuxi with my friends for a spring outing. I haven't been here for a few years, and Jiuxi has become a popular attraction with an endless stream of visitors. Fortunately, the scenery is still the same. 🌸Jiuxi has always been known as a paradise for hikers and is the most suitable classic route for beginner hikers in Hangzhou. Walking along Jiuxi Road, you'll see tea gardens on both sides of the road, lush greenery lining the path, and your clothes brushing against the verdant foliage. 🌸Forests, tea gardens, ancient trees, cicadas chirping, waterfalls, streams, stone paths... Due to the narrow and long valley and the lush vegetation, even though the temperature has reached 32 degrees, it feels cooler than outside. 🌸Jiuxi is famous for its autumn scenery, where the maple trees and the scenery complement each other. The water surface is calm, reflecting the red leaves, and the maple leaves are drunk with frost red. But who knew that her spring scenery was also so charming? Walking among the tea gardens, the aroma of tea fills the air, as if you are in a painting. April is the time to drink Longjing tea, just as the couplet at Linhaiting says: "A short stay is best, and enjoy Zhao Zhou tea; returning home can wait, try singing the flowers on the roadside together." ————🎈Hiking Routes🎈———— After the Jiuxi bus stop and the Jiuxi Yanshu scenic spot, there is a fork.

How can Hangzhou's summer be without the cool retreat of Jiuxi? Due to the long and narrow valley, lush vegetation, and thick water vapor, the temperature in the entire scenic area is several degrees lower than outside: ✅Ways to play: 1. Stream tracing and water play 🔹After entering the scenic area, there are many small streams along the way. You can choose a less crowded spot to enjoy the fun of wading. 🔹The stream bed is flat, and the water flow is gentle, making it suitable for children to play in the water. Bringing a few water guns will add more fun. 2. Light hiking 🔹Walk from south to north along Qianlong Road into the depths of Jiuxi. Tea gardens are arranged on both sides of the road, with lush greenery and fresh air. The high content of negative ions makes it like a "natural oxygen bar". 🔹Most of the hiking routes are shaded by trees, so you don't have to worry about getting sunburned or the journey being too strenuous. 3. Camping 🔹You can camp in the open spaces between the woods and enjoy afternoon tea while the kids play in the water nearby. 🔹There are also designated camping areas within the scenic area, such as Jiuxi Jianxie, located next to the Jiulongyuan sightseeing car station, and Jiuxi First Stream (next to Xizhongxi Hotel). 4. Sightseeing car: 🔹Those who don't want to walk can choose to take the sightseeing car into the scenic area. 🔹The one-way route is 2.8 km, with four stops: Millennium Hotel (starting station, near the scenic area entrance), Jiulongyuan, Jiuxi Yanshu, and Yangmeiling Village Entrance. It operates on a "wave to stop" service, and tickets are sold on board. 🔹The fare is 5 yuan per person for one stop, 8 yuan per person for two stops, and 12 yuan per person for three stops. 5. Classic photo spots🌟 🔹Jiuxi Small Waterfall is a must-see photo spot. 📍Transportation: From Hangzhou East Station, take Metro Line 4 to Shuichengqiao Station, then transfer to Bus 308. After one stop, you will arrive at Jiuxi Station. 💌Tips: 1. There are many mosquitoes, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. 2. For those playing in the water, remember to bring water guns, slippers (there may be glass shards or algae in the water), and a change of clothes. The scenic area toilets have places for washing feet and changing clothes. 3. Travel responsibly and take your trash with you. 4. During the summer, there are large crowds and few parking spaces in the scenic area. It is recommended to travel green, take the bus to Jiuxi Bus Station, and then walk or take the sightseeing car to tour the area.

🎄Jiuxi is like a paradise hidden in the city. As soon as you enter here, the lush trees and clear streams immediately make you feel relaxed and happy. Walking along the stream and listening to the gurgling water, it seems as if all the worries are left behind. The stream water is cool, and I can't help but reach out to touch it. The cool feeling instantly spreads throughout my body. 🍃There are dense woods on both sides of the trail, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming beautiful light and shadows. The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. Take a deep breath and you can smell the flavor of nature. 🌈The scenery here is picturesque in all seasons, and it has a unique flavor in summer. The green trees provide shade from the scorching sun, making it a great place to escape the summer heat. 👣Along the way, you can see many tourists playing and taking pictures by the stream. Everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery and enjoyed the close contact with nature. 🙌If you haven't been to Jiuxi yet, you must find some time to experience it. I believe you will be impressed by its beauty!
