This is definitely a beautiful place to travel with dogs
In November last year, I was looking for places around Hangzhou where I could travel with my dog. After reading the introduction of netizens on Ctrip, I first booked Tianmu Yin Hotel because dogs are allowed. So I arranged for the weekend, checked the weather forecast, and on this sunny day, I drove from Hangzhou for more than 2 hours directly to Xinchang Tianmu Yin Hotel. The hotel is located on Tianmu Mountain. Going up along the mountain road, guided by the navigation, I found that the scenery on the mountain was really beautiful. After completing the check-in procedures and taking a short rest, I consulted the front desk staff, and drove up to the top of the mountain that afternoon. There is a large lawn on the top of the mountain for dogs to play. In less than ten minutes, we reached the top of the mountain. The lawn is large, sitting on the lawn, overlooking the surrounding mountains, you can see all the small mountains. Heaven, earth and man are integrated, it's so cool. The weather was good that day, lying on the lawn in the sun, the little dog ran around on its own, very happy.
