🌄 Natural Paradise: A Landscape Scroll Above the Clouds • ✅Sea of Clouds and Sunrise Spectacle Perched atop a mountain, the hotel frequently offers rolling sea of clouds in the morning, like waves washing over peaks. When the morning sun pierces through the clouds, golden rays shower over Qiandao Lake's 1,078 islands. Mist rises from the lake surface, creating a "sky mirror" reflecting heaven and earth—every casual photo looks like a magazine cover. • ✅Starry Galaxy Theater Far from urban light pollution, the night sky is crystal clear. Lying on the lawn or tent terrace, you can see the Milky Way stretching across the sky with the naked eye. Occasional shooting stars in summer, accompanied by the chirping of insects, create an immersive "starry cinema" experience. • ✅Canyon Stream and Waterfall Sanctuary Deep in Yunlong Canyon, clear streams flow through forests, and the Hidden Dragon Spring waterfall cascades like a white ribbon, forming rainbow arcs in the sunlight. Hiking upstream, you might encounter wild monkeys and moss-covered rocks, experiencing the wild charm of "clear springs flowing over stones." 🏡 Cloud Architecture: Aesthetic Spaces Living with Mountains • Yunding Boutique Hotel: Luxury Cloud-Viewing Platform The 6-story building features large glass curtain walls, with panoramic balconies in each room serving as "natural frames"—morning views of rolling clouds, midday vistas of layered peaks, and evening scenes of sunset-tinted mountains. The high-ceiling lobby with wooden lattice allows natural light to pour through skylights, creating a transparent "cloud living room" feeling. • Yunlu Private Villas: Personal Mountain and Water Courtyards 16 villas are scattered along the Tianchi Reservoir, with white walls and dark tiles blending into the forest. Each has its own courtyard, terrace, and private hot spring pool. Open the window to see mirror-like waters; brew tea on the terrace while stargazing in the evening, experiencing the seclusion of "living among people, yet without the noise of carriages and horses." • 😁Cloud Starry Sky Tents: Wild Luxury Utopia Five spherical tents are scattered across the meadow, appearing like white cocoons embedded in the green wilderness. Inside, they're equipped with floor heating and starry skylights. At night, lie down to watch the stars move across the sky; in the morning, wake up to birdsong with the scent of grass and pine lingering in the air, returning to nature's essence. 🌸 Pastoral Idyll: Poetic Living You Can Touch and Feel • ✅Four-Season Flower Terraces Spring brings rolling golden waves of rapeseed flowers, summer sees sunflowers facing the sun, autumn showcases pink muhly grass like clouds and mist, and winter features wild chrysanthemums dotting the mountains. The terraced fields cascade along the mountainside; walking among them, your clothes catch the fragrance of flowers, and every casual photo captures romantic pastoral scenes. • ✅Forest Secret Trails Ancient camphor trees, red maples, and ginkgos intertwine to create shade throughout the hotel, with stone paths winding to the mountain top. In the morning mist, negative ion concentration reaches 100,000/cm³. Occasionally spot squirrels leaping through branches, listen to the rustling of wind through leaves, and feel instant relaxation. • ✅Tianchi Reservoir Ecology The mirror-like reservoir is the best spot for capturing "sky mirror" photos—mountain reflections on clear days and misty fairyland scenes after rain. Fishing platforms line the lake; rowing on the water, watch egrets skim the surface and experience "sailing on emerald waves, people traveling within a painting." ✨ Nearby Treasures: Unlocking Qiandao Lake's Hidden Gems • ✅Meifeng Island Panoramic View (20-minute drive): Take the cable car to Meifeng and overlook the classic scene of "Qiandao Lake's islands scattered like stars"—charming in both sunny and rainy weather. • ✅Qinchuan Ancient Village Atmosphere: Stroll through the 800-year-old village with bluestone paths, Hui-style old houses, and streams flowing through. Experience making rice cakes, drinking rice wine, and enjoying slow-paced life. 💡 Photo Guide • ✅Best Photography Spots: Hotel rooftop terrace (for sea of clouds and sunrise), Tianchi Reservoir dam (for architecture and mountain reflections), starry sky tent lawn (for Milky Way portraits). • ✅Seasonal Specials: Spring terrace flower fields for Hanfu photography, summer canyon stream trekking and camping, autumn forest red leaf hiking, winter hot springs and stargazing (private villa pools recommended). ✅This "hidden paradise" nestled in the clouds creates a spiritual sanctuary for urban dwellers through magnificent landscapes, elegant architecture, and poetic pastoral scenes. Here, time slows to a poem, and every breath is a gift from nature.

||Tonglu is really a hidden gem. . I went to this park with friends over the weekend and was blown away. We experienced the world's longest drift certified by Guinness World Records, which was super thrilling. There were also cave landscapes and various beautiful check-in spots. . 🎡 Tonglu Tianzi Land Scenic Area 📍 Juluoshan Village, Tonglu, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province ⏰8:00-16:00 🚗 Recommended to drive by yourself, 1.5h from Hangzhou city center . 🎠 'My Tour Route' Magic Carpet Ride - Purple Gauze Delicate Hand - Cloud Ladder Sky Bridge - Sky Realm - Tianzi Cave - Purple Dragon Gorge Drifting - Dinosaur Valley . 💗 'Recommended Check-in Spots' 1⃣️ Purple Dragon Gorge Drifting This is the signature attraction of the scenic area, with a super long glass slide, about 4 kilometers in length, with a drop of 800 meters, and a drifting time of 10 minutes. Rushing down from the mountain, it really is the pinnacle of drifting in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area, thrilling and exciting. 2⃣️ Sky Mirror A great place for photos on a sunny day☀️. When we went, it was just after the rain had cleared, and the glass reflected the inverted image of the sky and clouds. The glass viewing platform has three levels, the second level allows you to overlook the entire green valley, and the third level is great for taking photos. 3⃣️ Purple Gauze Delicate Hand A purple corridor in the valley, held up by two delicate hands, very interesting. An aerial view from above can reveal the whole picture. 4⃣️ Tianzi Cave Constant temperature of 17 degrees all year round, a nice place to cool off in summer, with various shapes of stalactites. Inside the cave, there are various shaped lanterns, frogs, rabbits, lotus flowers, and my friends and I took pictures with our phones, all of which turned out great! 5⃣️ Cloud Ladder Sky Bridge A gallery bridge spanning between valleys, looks thrilling, but actually quite stable when you walk on it. If you like a bit more excitement, you can walk on the adjacent suspension sky bridge, which is more fun. . After the drift, at the exit of the scenic area, there is also Dinosaur Valley and a naked-eye 3D spaceship, which is suitable for families. If you bring children, you can also come here to play. . ⚠️ 'Some tips' ✅ The scenic area is large, so you need to manage your energy. You can take the 'Magic Carpet Ride' up the mountain and 'Glass Drifting' down the mountain, so you don't have to walk too much ✅ The cave is long, and there is a temperature difference when entering and exiting, so if you bring children, you can prepare a thin jacket
