走进临安的深处
Early summer has arrived and the temperature is soaring. Let me take you to discover the cool places in Lin'an that have very beautiful scenery but few people.
Cool off in the depths of the secret land
Longmen Secret Land is a national 3A scenic spot, a national forest recreation base, and a national key village of rural tourism. It consists of three administrative villages in Gaohong Town, namely Shimen Village, Longshang Village, and Dashan Village. In summer, the daytime temperature of Linjiatang in Dashan Village is about 25℃ on average, and the nighttime temperature is about 17℃. Therefore it is called "the most livable village."
There are Huangshan pines, ginkgos, ancient cypresses and golden larches and so on. In particular, the golden larch, one of the world's top five garden tree species under national 2nd class protection, is the majority. It is one of the largest golden larch communities in East China.
At an elevation of 1100 meters above sea level, Caoshangang has gentle slopes. The endless alpine grassland is shrouded in clouds and fog. The stars at night are even more dazzling. The mountain trails lined with bamboo, the clouds embracing the mountains, and the lush green alpine grassland are all very beautiful.
It is also the best spot for stargazing, camping and looking into the far distance. And the vast grassland on the mountain top allows you to roll around, shout loudly and run around wildly!
Enjoy thrilling water sports and a night tour of Qingshan Lake
Qingshan Lake Water Sports Center provides a variety of programs such as sport sailing, motorboats, flyboards, surfing, jet boats, dragon boats, and a water fishing center. Have great fun here all through the summer!
The popular kayaks, flyboards, motorboats and dragon boats are the first choice for vacations and family trips. You will also be trained by professional instructors here. Regardless of whether you have swimming experience or not, you can easily get started. Compared with a water park, the lake without the slightest restraint is obviously more charming. You will get to feel the water and overcome your fear.
At 7 pm, the musical fountain at Qingshan Lake starts and dances elegantly and dazzlingly. At night, the city completely gets rid of the hustle and bustle of daytime. The evening darkness and the lively water show complement each other.
