[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Taihuyuan Scenic Area (Updated Feb)

Decided to go out for a walk, searched for attractions on Trip.com, and found the ancient village of Zhina Village in Lin'an. It is 36 km from the hotel, about 50 minutes by car. There are many sharp turns on the mountain road, which is quite exciting. After arriving at Zhina Village, I found that the ancient village does not require a ticket. The ancient village is built on the mountain, with ancient ginkgo trees everywhere, and endless terraces. According to the introduction, the most beautiful season is autumn, when the golden rice fields, fiery red maple leaves, and golden ginkgo leaves are a surprise from nature. Zhina Village in winter is quiet and peaceful, with a sense of happiness. Imagine the autumn sunshine and beautiful scenery, with an inexplicable expectation. Tips: 1. The mountain road is winding, pay attention to driving safety; 2. Nearby attractions in Zhina Village, Shenlongchuan Scenic Area, Taihuyuan Scenic Area

The Taihu Yuan Scenic Area is located in Lin'an, close to the border with Anji, about a 2-hour drive from the main urban area of Hangzhou. The scenic area claims to be the 'Little Jiuzhaigou of the South of the Yangtze River,' but it seems to have little in common with Jiuzhaigou. Perhaps I visited at the wrong time? I didn't see the water being particularly abundant or green. The glass walkway is quite ordinary, nothing special, but the scenery on both sides is okay. Various pavilions and temple attractions are also quite mundane. The only fun part is that after descending from the glass walkway, you can trace the stream upwards to the source of Taihu Lake. Along the way, there's a small waterfall, which is perfect for stream tracing and playing in the water in summer, swimming shallowly. If you're not tracing the stream or playing in the water, the walking path is also easy to navigate. The entire journey upstream, taking photos and playing in the water a bit, takes over two hours. By the time we arrived, it was already past 3 pm. From start to finish, we only saw two other people, and there were no staff members in the scenic spots, but we still had a reasonably good time. I feel that if this attraction weren't so far away, it would probably attract a decent number of visitors. The surrounding mountains are also good for a climb. (An ordinary account of the trip)

The source of Taihu Lake combines the original ecological environment, the clean air and the forests and lakes into a wonderful, magical and beautiful natural scenery. Due to its unique original landscape, the rich flora and fauna resources are known as the paradise on earth. "Looking at the layers of the forest and the waters, the fish swims in the clouds and the birds are happy. The flying stream falls to the clothes, the Jiuzhai Mountain is known as the Haitian" These words are a true interpretation of the Taihu source. There are wonderful natural and cultural landscapes such as the verdant sea, the waterfall, and the colorful forest. When you walk into the source of Taihu Lake, you walk into the jade world surrounded by mountains. The lake is quiet and there is no sound, and the waterfall formed by the overflow of the lake suddenly breaks the silence. There is a waterfall under the lake. There is a lake, a quiet lake, a flowing waterfall, and a combination of dynamic and static layers invites you to swim between the rapids and the waterfalls, strolling on the ecological plank road that runs through the waters of the forest, so uncomfortable.
