Both sides of the mountain road are dyed with layers of colorful trees. Without specifically searching for popular photo spots, I stumbled upon two "Waterfall Maples" opposite the Moganshan Post Office. The red leaves hang down like flowing flames, every snap is wallpaper-worthy 📸 ✨ Immersive Republic of China era experience! Along the way are various old villas, including Chairman Mao’s lodging place and a cultural corridor. Touching the brick walls of century-old buildings feels like traveling back in time. ✨ Climb Guwang Wu Platform for a broad panoramic view. ✨ Key point! The Slippery Slope after the waterfall is a small challenge. The dirt slope and rocky path are slippery, so it’s recommended to bring trekking poles and descend slowly for safety. 💡 There are many restaurants in the village and scenic area where you can enjoy farmhouse dishes~ The foot of the mountain at Yucun Square has a lively variety of restaurants, inns, cafes, and bakeries~ This route perfectly blends natural wilderness and cultural history, a must-go for hiking enthusiasts around Hangzhou!
