Hangzhou Tourism | Thanks to Ang Lee for discovering this secluded bamboo forest in Hangzhou with few people and beautiful scenery

From the Liangzhu area to the West Lake mountains, it is usually the subway to Wenxin Station, where there are several bus stops nearby to reach various places. This time, you need to cross Xingzhou Street (but there is no Xingzhou fried rice), and there are some camping chairs placed at the entrance of the coffee shop under the shade of trees, which should be quite comfortable to sit on. The Yunqi Bamboo Pathway is located on the westernmost road of the West Lake mountains, close to Meijiawu in the north, and exiting the mountain to the south is Songcheng. The word 'Qi' in 'Yunqi' transforms a noun into a verb, implying motion in stillness. The Yunqi Bamboo Pathway was also a secret garden for ancient nobility. The colorful auspicious clouds of Wuyun Mountain reside here, nourishing the grass and all things here. It is said that in ancient times, emperors Kangxi and Qianlong were particularly fond of this place. Walking up the small path, the paving stones along the way also have their own stories. The bluestone slabs in the middle of the bamboo path are separated from the pebbles on both sides by black bricks. The black path lines are exclusive to the emperor, belonging to the central imperial path. Other people could only walk outside the path lines. From mid to late July, if you come to the bamboo path before evening, you can also encounter fireflies all over the mountains, and amidst the mottled light, people become even more intoxicated.
