I just read an article that said: 'There are some travel destinations that make you want to stay.' I think Moganshan must be one of the destinations that many people would want to stay in a homestay, this place that was once a summer resort for many politicians and celebrities in the Republic of China, has now become a place where many people enjoy the tranquility of the countryside. Next time someone asks you why you like it here, you can say: Because I just like living here. The mountain road is winding, twisting and turning all the way. Passing by the hustle and bustle of traffic, gradually getting farther and farther away. All you can see is the lush bamboo forest and the competing flowers. At ease, I have hidden into Moganshan.

If all you are looking for is a green scenery with fresh air, then Mogashan is the perfect place. this city has amazing trails for you to walk and enjoy the mountains, vegetation and beautiful bamboo forest. there are variety of hotel with great views. downtown is small and lovely with many coffee shops, souvenirs stores and Bars! in spring expect lots of flowers as you can see in my pictures. Totally recommended! #beautifulhotel#hikingtrails#hotelstay

There is too little promotion about Moganshan, and most people don't really understand it. Moganshan is a beautiful mountain with clear water, known for its 'three victories and four absolutes'! It has always been a great travel destination where cultural history and natural scenery are well combined, and experiencing it by hiking is a different kind of scenery! Walking through the bamboo forest, passing by Jiang Gong Road, and arriving at Naked Castle. The sky has cleared, and the blue sky and white clouds set off the ancient castle buildings, which have a different style. Continue to the Dakeng Scenic Area, the view from the top of the mountain to the clouds sweeps away all fatigue, the continuous mountains change the wonderful depth of daylight due to the heavy clouds, which is very beautiful. Continue to hike, pass through the villa group, Luhua Dang, Jianchi Scenic Area, and come to the last downhill section. Due to continuous heavy rain, the mountain water rushing down from Jianchi winds through the bamboo forest, and many sections of the road are flooded, and the original mud road without steps is even more muddy. But it is precisely because of this that hiking adds a lot of fun! Tips: 1 Be sure to wear shoes with non-slip soles and bring trekking poles. 2 There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, wear long pants, and bring mosquito repellent. 3 Make sure your phone is fully charged, you'll want to take pictures of every beautiful scene! 4 There are a few restaurants and coffee shops on the mountain, not many replenishment points, bring dry food. In the sea of clouds, with babbling brooks, such a Moganshan Valley is not only a paradise for children to play, but also a place for adults to relax their minds and bodies~ Moganshan Scenic Area
