[2025 Deqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Xiantan Village (Updated Jun)

At 7 AM on June 20th, as I parked my car at Yu Street Energy Community, a flock of white doves swooped down from the glazed dome of the clock tower, their wings stirring the morning mist in the mountains—that moment suddenly made me understand why people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai say, "Going to Moganshan = 100 therapy sessions." As a corporate drone shackled by KPIs, I’m wholeheartedly recommending this self-drive route: no need to take time off! Just a 2-hour drive! Trade a day for a soul-soothing SPA! (Check out the foolproof guide below 👇) 🌿 10-Hour Healing Diary ⏰ 9:00 AM · Yu Village · Time-Folding Magic Head to the second floor of "Mocun Department Store" for an iced coconut latte, watching the blend of a Republic-era post office and trendy boutiques under the shade of plane trees. Feeding pigeons in the square, their white wings brushing against the tan brick walls, the chime of copper bells carries echoes of 1930s Shanghai. (📌 Parking hack: Yu Street indoor parking, 10 yuan for 5 hours) ⏰ 11:00 AM · Laoling Reservoir · A Living Landscape Screensaver A 10-minute drive to the reservoir dam. Don’t dismiss it as "just a reservoir"! After a rainstorm, the water mirrors the entire bamboo forest, like a giant blue-green landscape painting. A drone-flying local tipped me off: "Head 200 meters west to the tea fields for even better shots!" ⏰ 1:30 PM · Xiantan Village · Stumbling Into Shangri-La Navigate to 📍 "Yezi Ju Farmhouse" and look for the vine-covered stone archway. Step through—golden coreopsis flowers explode like fireworks along the stream, and a wooden boardwalk dotted with dragonflies leads deep into the bamboo forest. Barefoot in the icy creek, the childhood chill shoots straight to your soul! (👟 Must bring sandals!) ⏰ 4:00 PM · Jiangnan Biwu · Emerald Light Tunnel (Missed Edition) Learned the hard way: tickets stop at 4:30 PM! Peeking through the gate, I glimpsed an ancient ginkgo tree towering over the village stone bridge, mossy steps winding into an ink-green abyss... leaving a hook for next time. ⏰ 6:30 PM · Sunset in the Clouds · Golden Hour Gritted my teeth and raced to 📍 "Dayang Starry Camping Base," hiking 10 minutes to Yunzhu Family Farm. For 40 yuan, sip Longjing tea as twilight ignites the sea of clouds, windmills spinning into silhouettes against the orange haze—the bumpy mountain road was worth it! (⚠️ Sunset forecast app: Li Jing Weather) > "Here, the streams cleanse your eyes, the bamboo forests purify your lungs, and the sunsets collect the sighs of city dwellers." 🚗 2025 Blood-and-Tears Survival Guide 1. Traffic Game Theory ✅ From Hangzhou, take the Changshen Highway, exit at Wukang (20 mins faster than Haining Highway) ❌ Don’t rent an EV! No charging stations from Xiantan Village to the summit, with steep 15% slopes draining batteries fast 2. Time Management ✅ Arrive at Biwu attractions by 3:00 PM (account for queues + hiking time) ✅ Be in position for sunset by 5:00 PM, allowing 40 mins for winding mountain roads (snail pace required for hairpin turns) 3. Hidden Cost Alerts ✅ Order bamboo shoot braised pork (68 yuan, market price) at Yu Village’s "Goldfish Mama," skip the 168 yuan "Bamboo Chicken Mystery Box" ✅ Bring your own snacks to Yunzhu Farm (tacitly allowed, saving 58 yuan on fruit platters) 📸 Photo Ops Arsenal - Yu Village Doves | Toss food and burst-shoot, wide-angle shots capturing wings against the clock tower dome - Xiantan Flower Field | Stand on a stream boulder for overhead shots, framing white farmhouses with yellow blooms (settings: f/4 aperture) - Cloudtop Tea House | Shoot silhouettes 10 mins before sunset, telephoto compressing windmills and tea tables 🌟 Why Moganshan in 2025? > "While meditation retreats get overrun by influencers, this remains a hidden healing pod for Shanghai-Hangzhou elites!" Before Xiantan Village starts charging entry, before mountain tea houses hike prices beyond 40 yuan— ✅ Chill watermelons in the creek and relive childhood ✅ Let bamboo whispers drown out WeChat notifications ✅ Reclaim control of your life in the twilight clouds These 10 hours of wilderness SPA mend shattered souls better than any therapist! 🏞️🕊️

Human life began partly in caves Therefore, the sense of security in caves has a natural appeal to humans.

Enjoy a relaxing spring in the mountains.
Just lying around is a kind of enjoyment,
though not exactly luxurious.

Wake up naturally in the fresh air,
enjoy a good night's sleep.
Early cherry blossoms and magnolias are still in full bloom,
the green hills and clear waters are a feast for the eyes.
Soak in a private hot spring while enjoying the mountain view—
you probably won't find this scenery in the city.

Free-range chicken and bamboo shoots are good for the stomach,
and you can even dig for bamboo shoots in your spare time.
Spring tea will have to wait until the end of the month.
Walking the dog by the stream is also a healthy way to relax.
Strolling through the small town is full of charm.
