Jinhua is really underestimated! So many good-looking free attractions are not promoted!
What on earth is Jinhua Culture and Tourism doing!! It almost made me miss this treasure of a small city!! There are so many good-looking and free attractions, good for taking pictures and strolling around, and this tour route is all coded for me!
Day1️⃣: Hangzhou—Dongtian Mansion·Shuanglong Cave Hot Spring Hotel—Shuanglong Scenic Area
Day2️⃣: Deer Woman Lake—Jinhua Little Ice Island—Lan Lake Resort—Hangzhou
✅Dongtian Mansion·Shuanglong Cave Hot Spring Hotel, the hotel I stayed in this time, 2.5h drive from Hangzhou, modern style combined with ancient Chinese design, really suitable for ancient style lovers, every corner is good for taking pictures!
👉The hotel provides free Hanfu and simple makeup and hair, all newly purchased. The lobby is full of lanterns🏮 and couplets, a great New Year's atmosphere! Very suitable for taking pictures! In addition, the hotel's corridor is also one of my favorite shooting locations, with a bit of extreme symmetry of Chinese gardens, shooting from the opposite side is particularly good, the roof still retains some snow that has fallen, beautiful like a painting!
♨️The most important reason for me to choose it is that each room here is equipped with a private bath, very private, and for playing, the time freedom is very high, you can soak at any time, very suitable for dating!!
✅Shuanglong Scenic Area, just in the direction to the left of the hotel, along the way you can take pictures of streams, stone bridges... There is also a small pond, where crucian carp are raised, shooting from a distance with a telephoto lens, a whole Chinese aesthetic🤏🏻!
Then I saw a long staircase going up to a Taoist temple, no need to go into the paid Shuanglong Cave, the Taoist temple also does not require a ticket, red walls, brick tiles, stone roads, the corner of the wall there are wintersweet peeping out, casually shot are very good-looking.
✅Deer Woman Lake and Jinhua Little Ice Island, both are near the hotel, one or two kilometers by car, can be played together. Deer Woman Lake is located in Huang Daxian Scenic Area, a free attraction, with beaches, water fir forest plank roads, etc., on sunny days you can shoot a small Erhai Lake feeling against the lake, still quite recommended.
Jinhua Little Ice Island was free before, now it charges, plus the second day it rained, so I just flew a drone over and took a few shots, personally think the ticket is a bit expensive, depends on the person.
✅Lan Lake Resort, on the way back to Hangzhou can stop by to play, I went in December, at that time there were redwoods particularly beautiful, now probably not. You can take a small train, through the lake, tea mountain, forest, the scenery is very healing; my favorite is the sunset here!! This 'old mage' really loves it!
🍳About eating, I directly booked the hotel's restaurant, the taste is good, authentic farmhouse stir-fry, the ingredients also taste quite fresh.
