I've been to Mogan Mountain several times, but what fascinates me most is the autumn here. The old villas and 500-year-old maple trees create a stunning autumn scene during the seasonal change. When you visit Mogan Mountain in autumn, you can enjoy the incredibly pleasing red maple leaves 🍁 I stayed at the Wangshan Villa in Maple Azalea Valley. Here, you can take endless photos and enjoy endless scenery. Looking forward to this year’s autumn~🍂 🌍 Mogan Mountain 3-day 2-night autumn viewing itinerary: Day 01: Departure - Arrive at Mogan Mountain Scenic Area in the afternoon Day 02: Morning villa maple leaf photography - Afternoon tour of Mogan Mountain Scenic Area Day 03: Check-out - Yucun Village - Yiyuan Organic Farm - Return 💡 Notes: 1. Travel time A. The busiest times at Mogan Mountain are summer for cooling off and autumn for maple leaf viewing; B. The best time to see the red leaves is from late November to early December, but it depends on the temperature and rainfall at the time, since a single autumn rain can almost completely knock down the maple leaves; 2. About accommodation Wangshan Villa was renovated in 2023, with upgraded hardware facilities! ⚠️ There used to be three photo rules here: 1. Hotel guests: enjoy exclusive morning hours for photography with free access; 2. Afternoon tea guests: open from 11 am, can freely take photos during afternoon tea, but the number of tea guests is uncertain; 3. Regular visitors: please admire from outside the iron gate at a distance; 🧧 Small perk for guests: During maple leaf season, many staff who are good at photography will be available every morning to take beautiful photos for hotel guests. 3. Food recommendations A. The main dining spots in Mogan Mountain Scenic Area are concentrated on Yinshan Street; B. Another recommendation is Yiyuan Organic Farm Restaurant, where you can try fresh and delicious dishes from the organic farm 👍;

Family vacation in Moganshan! As soon as you enter the mountain, everything slows down—the bamboo forest, sea breeze, pool, and barbecue. This is what a family vacation should be like~ Moganshan truly is the ultimate family travel destination for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! Driving from the city, once you enter the mountainous area, the pace instantly slows down. Bamboo forests line both sides of the road, and the cool breeze instantly relaxes your mood. This place is not just for a one-night stay; it’s a mountain retreat where you can spend the whole day. The pool in the center of the courtyard is surrounded by a sea of bamboo. Everyone can find their own comfortable corner—adults relax while kids play freely. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A day of family vacation: Wake up to mountain breeze and birdsong, jump straight into the pool to play—kids are super happy. At noon, cook together or have a barbecue, no rush, no itinerary to follow. The pool is the liveliest in the afternoon, filled with splashes, laughter, and music—the whole courtyard is full of joy. In the evening, barbecue and chat in the courtyard, watching the sky slowly darken, the atmosphere is perfect. At night, adults can enjoy KTV and mahjong, kids watch cartoons and play with toys, everyone happy. Late at night, stargaze together—the mountain sky is truly breathtaking.

Moganshan Xingye Guesthouse: Stay in the "Space Capsule" of the Big Dipper, soak in the bathtub with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bamboo sea, and chase shooting stars with a telescope on the terrace On the ridge of Laoling Village in Moganshan, there is a minimalist white house inspired by the "stars and universe" theme—Xingye Guesthouse. Designed by renowned designer Shen Mo, its 7 rooms are named after the Big Dipper stars. Located at a high elevation with expansive views, when night falls, the lights blend with the starry sky, making you feel like you’re living inside a space capsule. I stayed in the Tianxuan Mountain View Terrace Stargazing King Room, which features a private terrace, stargazing skylight, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a bathtub—during the day, you can lie back and watch the rolling bamboo sea, and at night, soak in hot water while counting stars through the telescope.

Guests say: “This is the most romantic guesthouse in Moganshan, bar none.” 🌌 Live Among the Big Dipper Stars: The Tianxuan Room Brings the Starry Sky Indoors Each room at Xingye is named after a star in the Big Dipper: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. The Tianxuan room I stayed in is the best spot for stargazing in the guesthouse. The room features gray and warm wood tones, light-colored furniture paired with warm lighting, creating a cozy yet upscale atmosphere. The most stunning feature is the slanted roof stargazing skylight—lying in bed, you press the remote, and the skylight slowly opens, revealing the Milky Way flowing right above you. The private terrace faces the endless bamboo sea, where you can watch the sunrise paint the bamboo tips red in the morning and wait for the sunset to sink into the valley in the evening. Inside, there are floor-to-ceiling windows and a bathtub; drawing the curtains while soaking reveals a lush green view, private and healing. The room is equipped with a telescope, and the housekeeper will teach you how to find the North Star. 🏊 Cliffside Pool + Public Area Playground, Fun for Adults and Kids Alike The public areas at Xingye are equally impressive. The infinity pool is built on the cliff edge, swimming here feels like floating above the bamboo sea. Summer evenings are especially romantic when the pool lights turn on, resembling a starry river. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas by the pool, perfect for relaxing or taking photos. Indoors, there is KTV, a game room, and billiards, where friends can party late into the night. Families with children have a slide and garden where kids can run freely on the lawn. The guesthouse also provides barbecue grills, so you can enjoy a BBQ under the starry sky—a truly joyful experience. 🍜 Flavors of the Mountains and Fields: From Free-Range Chicken Soup to Starry Sky Breakfast Xingye’s breakfast is a Chinese set meal featuring handmade noodles, small wontons, and free-range eggs, paired with freshly ground soy milk. Dinner requires advance booking; recommended dishes include free-range chicken soup (stewed with local free-range chicken, golden broth), braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, and steamed white fish, all made with fresh local farm ingredients.

Stay in the bamboo sea and clear your mind in the mountains🍃 Just got back from Deqing, Huzhou, Moganshan, and I feel so calm. No need to rush to attractions or watch the clock. Every day was just listening to the wind in the bamboo forest and taking it slow—a truly healing short getaway. I booked a homestay halfway up the mountain in the bamboo sea. The moment I opened the door, I was captivated by the vast bamboo forest outside the window. The room features a floor-to-ceiling glass window, and lying in bed, you can see the bamboo shadows swaying in the breeze. The room is spacious, and the bedding is soft and thick, making it very relaxing to lie down. The bathroom has a dry/wet separation, the toiletries are high quality, and there is a small table and chairs on the balcony where you can sit, drink tea, and watch the clouds drift over the mountains. The homestay's public courtyard is filled with greenery. Sitting in the yard in the evening, all you hear is the rustling of the wind through the bamboo leaves. The homestay has its own mountain stream and shallow beach🌿 No need to travel to distant scenic spots; you can play in the water right in front of the homestay. Stepping into the cool stream, watching the sunlight filter through the bamboo leaves onto the water. With the sound of the babbling water and the embrace of the bamboo forest, it's so quiet that all your worries just fade away. The homestay's breakfast is simple and heartwarming. White porridge, farm eggs, handmade steamed buns, and a small dish of local pickled bamboo shoots—light and comforting. For dinner, we had farm-style dishes at the homestay restaurant. The free-range chicken soup was very fragrant, and the stir-fried wild mountain vegetables were fresh and tender. The ingredients were all delivered by local farmers, and the taste was authentic and down-to-earth. In my free time, I went down to Yucun at the foot of the mountain. The streets are flat and easy to walk, no mountain climbing required. There are creative shops converted from old factories, and the sycamore trees shade the streets. Occasionally, the wind blows down yellow leaves, creating a quiet and atmospheric vibe. A few small tips for taking photos. The light is softest in the early morning and at dusk, so photos won't be harsh. The homestay balcony, the streamside, and the old streets of Yucun are all great for photos. Choose simple, solid-colored clothing, which fits perfectly with the vast green bamboo sea. If you are tired of the city hustle and bustle and want to find a quiet place to take a break, Moganshan is worth a visit. No need to pack your itinerary; just sit in the mountains and forests, daydream, feel the wind and the greenery, and recharge yourself.
