Always restless at home! So I took a road trip to Moganshan with my family! It's only about a 2-hour drive from Shanghai! ️ Must-visit spot: Yucun The first stop is Yucun! There are many coffee shops along the street, just walk around, take breaks, snap some photos, it's very leisurely and perfect for relaxation! Wash away the weariness of work! Feed the white pigeons in the square~ A leisurely and artistic trip! 🍜Food guide: Goldfish Mama is a popular spot in Yucun, honestly, the chicken soup is really fresh, I still remember it vividly~~~ ️ Must-visit spot: Sky Valley The second stop is Sky Valley! Make sure to plan well before you go! That way you can enjoy all the attractions most efficiently! Playing from the top down can help avoid long queues! You can take a sightseeing car (faster than the little train) into the park and pay 5 yuan to get directly to the cable car🚠! — No need to queue if you go to the cable car early! — After the cable car, you can go to the Sky Tower! If you're not afraid of heights, try the high-altitude walk. After coming down from the Sky Tower, you can slide down the slide🛝, though it's quite thrilling, I didn't try it! Then comes my most recommended attraction! The Sky Skateboard! Slide from the top of the mountain all the way down! It's a great experience, very joyful, and you can scan a code to save the video or photo of your skateboard ride! The video seems to be 19.9 yuan (ps: no need to queue if you go early) After coming down the mountain, you can also enjoy the Rainbow Slide, Sky Train, and other attractions. Suitable for both adults and children! Great for taking photos too! The Hobbit Village is especially photogenic! There's not much to eat in the park! You can bring some snacks! Return to Shanghai in the evening~ A weekend is enough~~ If you have time, you can visit Biwu Longtan, the scenery is really beautiful! 🚄Travel tips: Self-driving is recommended
