Golden Temple - Nestled above the clouds!
⛩️🏯Nestled atop a mist-covered mountain, the Golden Temple is a divine marvel that captivates the soul. On a rainy day, its ethereal beauty emerges through the veil of clouds, with temples appearing and disappearing like apparitions.
🏔️ To reach this celestial sanctuary, a one and a half hour bus ride from Baoguo temple transports you to Leidongping, followed by an invigorating hour and a half uphill walk or a convenient cable car ascent. Opting for the walk, I relished every step, surrounded by serenity and tranquility. As I ascended, the air grew colder, demanding preparation for the summit.
🌄 The Golden Temple itself, adorned in resplendent gold, exudes a breathtaking radiance that beholds the beholder. For the intrepid, staying in one of the mini monasteries adds an adventurous touch. Alternatively, the top houses a selection of hotels, allowing the fortunate to witness awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. This sacred mountain attracts devotees and pilgrims from across China, seeking spiritual solace. Should you desire to offer incense or candles, I recommend procuring them in the town, as temple prices are steep.

Rural Staycation in the Mountain ⛰️
This is the best staycation I had this year and can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to escape from the city for some time! Zhinan is located in the mountains of Lin’an county, part of Hangzhou city. I happened to go there for a weekend during fall and it was much better than what we expected with my friend. This village is so peaceful with epic views on the mountains and paddy fields. Most buildings are guest houses with restaurants whilst others are mostly shops selling local specialities. We stayed at a guesthouse for two nights. Everyone was so friendly there! Every corner was beautiful and the views are so soothing! In need of a dose of fresh air and nature, this is the place to go! 🌿🌳🍃👍🏼
Address ➡️ Zhinan, 指南村
How to go ➡️ My friend and I took a taxi from Lin’an Baolong shopping mall to the village. It took about an hour to reach.

A day at the holy mountain
📜🏞️History records that many centuries ago Tibetan people searched for a place to live far away from war and misery.
🏘️🏔️ They settled down in what is now called Balagezong after overcoming much difficulty, and Bala became the symbol of an ideal home and paradise.
🧞The legend on the other hand, states that many years ago, hidden within what is now a National Park was a remote village called Bala. The village had no contact with the outside world until one day a small boy, a blacksmith's apprentice, got hurt while welding molten metal. In order to receive medical treatment his father took him to Shangri-la. It was then that the boy saw a glimpse of civilization for the first time - roads, shops, temples. Amazed by what he saw he spent over 3 decades accumulating wealth and investing it into his birthplace despite the anger and despise he received from the locals. His biggest challenge was building a road that would connect the Bala village to the rest of the world. The challenging topography mage the road building impossible but after many years of hard work the work was done.
🗓️Today Bala Village is a part of the Balagezong National Park.
And it was the second stop of our tour.
1️⃣The shuttle bus first took us to Shambhala Stupa scenic area.
2️⃣From there we went to the mentioned village of Bala before
3️⃣ spending some time at the scenic area (or Echo Wall).
4️⃣Our last stop was the Grand Canyon and keep in mind, it took half of the day to complete a tour.
We have started at 8:30 am and finished at 16:30. For hiking lovers it would take much longer, if you wish to complete the hiking tour AND see all the above listed places.
🪷 To say it's worth the visit would be an understatement. Keep in mind, the Tibetans searched for a perfect place to build their home, and chose this location for that exact reason.

Incredible bridges in zhejiang
#mountainview After encountering several reposts of drone shots of the Ruyi bridge on IG, I found out that Unitravel, a travel agency based in Hangzhou, was offering trips to to Shenxianju scenic spot. A bunch of friends and I signed up and we were not disappointed at all!
We chose to take the cable car and only walked a bit to find escalators taking us further up. That was something none of us have seen before, definitely not on a mountain! We spotted a nice area with chairs and tables, surrounded by a few shops, where we sat and had our own packed lunches. We crossed two bridges before finally spotting the Ruyi bridge. I went to several glass bridges before and that one was indeed, the most impressive. While following the pathway, you’ll come across shops selling beverages and snacks. Fresh air & mountain views, a great combo for a getaway from the city!
We walked in the sun for hours and were too exhausted to descend on foot. We chose to take the cable car again. There was a massive queue and we had to wait for an hour.

Famed mountain of Lin’an
#mountainview Popular mountain spot of Lin’an county, DamingShan promises gorgeous views, fresh air and a sound of peace. After the entrance,buses drive you up to the hiking trail. You won’t really hike as there are stairs. You’ll come across caves and cross rope bridges. There are some beverage and snack kiosks at the top, but I’d recommend bringing your own lunch.
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, take the slide all the way down! It’s such a thrill!
P.S: There’s an entrance fee, but I went in April 2020 when access was free. During that time, local authorities were trying to revive inland tourism by offering access to several attractions in Hangzhou city and its surrounding counties free of charge.#mountains#mountaintop#mountainair#mountainescape#mountaingetaway#zhejiang#linan#hiketrip
