I learned about this resort in 2018 and it had been on my bucket list to stay in the dungeon. It exceeded my expectations! The dungeon came with bed shackles, handcuffs and a whip 😂 Service was lovely and the dinner was delicious. This resort is an easy train ride from Shanghai or Beijing to Deqing. I also can’t say enough about the spa at the resort. It was easy to book, they accommodated our last-minute request. Definitely a must-go.

Winter in Moganshan
"Winter in Moganshan is like a painting. Red maple leaves, yellow ginkgo leaves, and green bamboo create a colorful landscape. The naked castle on the top of the mountain is even more charming, showing the fusion of ancient and modern. Walking along the path, the sunlight falls from the tall metasequoia trees, and the fresh air and warm sun make people feel peaceful. Winter in Moganshan is a melody about nature and humanity, worth savoring. Here, you can feel the gift of nature, enjoy the tranquility and beauty, and let your soul truly relax and purify."

It's not that Scotland is unaffordable, it's that Zhao Lusi's hotel is more cost-effective.

Naked Castle.
Naked Castle is a historic building that dates back to 1910. It was originally built by Scottish missionary and doctor Duncan Main as an English-style ancient castle.
Background: In 1910, Duncan Main built a castle on Fort Hill in Mogan Mountain for summer vacation. After his retirement, the castle became a place for local villagers and foreigners to recuperate and rest.
History: The castle changed hands several times and continued to move forward in the course of history. Unfortunately, it eventually succumbed to the ravages of time and collapsed in 1960.
Rebirth and Transformation: In 2007, a South African man named Grant Horsfield accidentally discovered the ruins of the castle and decided to restore it. After two years of reconstruction and a total investment of about 200 million yuan, Naked Castle finally reopened in the summer of 2017 as a high-end eco-resort with 95 rooms and various facilities, offering visitors a luxurious vacation experience.
Today, Naked Castle is not only a beautiful sight in Mogan Mountain, but also a resort with rich history and cultural heritage.

Century-old Castle & Cliffside Infinity Pool - Naked Stables Moganshan!
Located atop Moganshan, the hotel is situated on the mountain peak
It is a transformation of a Scottish castle from 1910, where you can experience the refinement of modern Europe
Environment: Just too fantastic, the winding mountain road leads all the way to the top, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding hills. The century-old castle (built by Scottish missionaries in 1910) and the cliffside pool are very atmospheric.
Service: Five-star praise, with the butler making contact before check-in and adding WeChat. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, and the solutions they provide to problems are reasonable.
Hotel Facilities: The booked pastoral room was upgraded to a cliff-view suite, which is a cabin built on the cliff. The room is large and comfortable with good privacy, allowing you to bathe while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Moganshan.
The interior of the castle is beautiful, with a reception room, wine cellar, reading room, and the view from the outdoor terrace is also great.
Dining:
Naked Bites is the breakfast restaurant, with fewer food choices but the scenery is superb. Recommend the corner spot facing the castle and the mountains, what you eat becomes unimportant.
Had dinner at the Cannon Tower, and I can only say the presentation surpassed the food itself, and the value for money was slightly low.
Entertainment: Stayed for three days and two nights, and you definitely won't be bored. You can swim in the infinity pool (temperature-controlled in winter), explore the castle, enjoy the view from the balcony, or play darts/ping pong/billiards in the activity room, etc. You can also sign up for various hotel activities such as hiking/mountain biking/craft making. In addition, Naked Stables and Naked Castle share facilities, so you can go down the mountain to Naked Valley for horseback riding, fishing, archery.
!Complaints: The cliff-view room has poor sound insulation due to structural issues, and it was a bit overwhelming to encounter noisy drunk guests at night, but the hotel's resolution was swift and efficient. Also, the music played by the hotel is quite speechless, mainly KTV love song hits and quite loud, which is a bit of a letdown. Some suggestions:
The two restaurants at the foot of the mountain (Goldfish Mama and Yiyuan Organic Farm Restaurant) are both very good, clean, and delicious. It's about a 20-30 minute drive from the hotel.
The hotel has a hiking trail that goes over the Hundred Steps Ridge and along the road to Jinmao Thayer, from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Naked Castle, about a 20-minute walk (involving climbing 400 steps).
The hotel rents out aristocratic Cos costumes, which should be great for taking beautiful photos in the castle, or you can bring your own formal dress, as every corner is photogenic. Questions:
?How to choose between Naked Castle and Naked Valley?
Naked Castle is more suitable for couples and relatively quiet, while Naked Valley is more suitable for family and children, with more activities.
?How to choose a room type at Naked Castle?
Personally, I think the cliff-view suite is better. The pastoral room is less than 30 square meters and can feel cramped. The castle suite has a bit of a strange style, suitable for those who like something quirky and are not short of money.
?What is the best season to visit?
Moganshan is suitable for all seasons, but it is more lush in summer and slightly bleak in winter, with heavy fog. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, with sunshine, snow, and rain all possible.

Deqing | Naked Heart Castle | View this English-style castle from the perspective of ancient architecture!
🏠Introduction to Naked Heart Castle:
👉In 1910, Scottish missionary doctor Maitland built an English-style castle villa (the predecessor of Naked Heart Castle), and the next owner was Mr. Zhang Jingjiang, who also turned it into a patriotic fortress during the Anti-Japanese War.
👉As time passed, the castle fell into disrepair and eventually collapsed in 1960. Later, it was heard that the founder of Naked Heart Group, Gao Tiancheng, discovered the ruins of the castle and decided to rebuild it. The current Naked Heart Castle is in the form of a hotel!
👉If you hike the Jiang Gong Ancient Trail, you will pass by it when descending the mountain. It looks very beautiful from a distance, and it is quite stunning to suddenly see a European-style castle through the trees. It looks better from a distance and in aerial photography than up close!
🍀From the perspective of cultural relics and ancient architecture, this English-style castle villa is very worth visiting!

🚶🏻♂️My Itinerary:
🛤️The Great Crossing Rafting⇒💧Mogan Lake⇒🏠Cloud Seeker Retreat⇒⛰️Moganshan⇒🏰Naked Heart Castle
————
🛤️The Great Crossing Rafting
It starts off leisurely floating on the water, enjoying the picturesque scenery, feeling especially relaxed. Later, the current gets faster, and the waves splash over, making the kayak dance! The bends are particularly nerve-wracking, but every time it's successfully navigated, it feels incredibly rewarding!
💧Mogan Lake
A tranquil and beautiful place. Strolling along the lakeside, with a gentle breeze and the sparkling water, it's like being in a peaceful painting.
🏠 Cloud Seeker Retreat
The garden-style design is simply stunning! As soon as you enter the hotel gate, it's like stepping into a secret garden, with lush greenery and blooming flowers everywhere.
The rooms have a Japanese style. Wooden furniture, simple decorations, and that warm and tranquil atmosphere really make you feel exceptionally comfortable.
⛰️Moganshan
So beautiful! The air is fresh, the bamboo forests are lush green, it's like being in a fairyland. Climbing the mountain is tiring, but the view from the top makes it all worth it. The unique homestays and authentic cuisine make you want to return. Next time, I'll come back to experience the charm of nature!
🏰Naked Heart Castle
Taking photos is simply amazing! Any random shot is like a masterpiece. Especially at dusk, when the sunset drapes over the castle, it's breathtakingly beautiful. Next time, I must take more photos to capture these wonderful moments!

For this family-friendly hiking route in Moganshan, you must be careful
Especially when taking children outdoors, it is essential to plan ahead, thinking about it now still scares me.😖
The weather forecast the day before predicted rain for the next morning🌧, so I didn't plan on getting up early.
After breakfast at the guesthouse, it seemed like it wouldn't rain in the morning, so we went to the nearby Yucun village.
We spent some time in Yucun, and as the weather got better, we spontaneously decided to go hiking.
We found a beginner-friendly short route: Yucun-Mogao Wo-Jianchi
Total distance: 4 kilometers
Elevation gain: about 400 meters
Time: 3 hours
The plan was to take the mountain shuttle bus back from the end point.
But when we reached the end, we found out we had missed the last bus at 16:30‼️
After lunch in Yucun and feeding pigeons with the kids in the square, we didn't start hiking until 3 pm.
By the time we reached the summit, it was almost dark, and the kids were tired.
After asking the staff, we confirmed there were no more buses down the mountain, so our only option was to walk down.😱
The kids were upset when they found out there was no bus, wanting to be carried.
Because it was a last-minute decision, we didn't even have headlamps, let alone hiking shoes.
After eating something, we decided to walk down the road with the kids' mother, which, although longer than the trail, was easier to navigate in the dark.
Also, we hoped to possibly hitch a ride with a private car going down.
We were really lucky this time, after walking for 20 minutes, we finally encountered a car, and the driver was willing to take us down the mountain~
It was a guy who had driven from Shanghai to visit and had to rush back that night, we were so grateful to him.🙏
It was a profound lesson, and we will definitely prepare thoroughly and plan well in the future~
The scenery along this hiking route is indeed fantastic, surrounded by bamboo forests that provide shade, so it's mostly not sunny.
A small stream flowing down from the mountain top, running through the ancient path, where you can wade and cool down, is very refreshing.👍
Following the various colored ribbons tied by fellow hikers on the road, you can hardly go wrong, and you can ask me for the trail map.
There are more than 200 villas preserved on the mountain, built by China, England, America, France, Germany, Russia, and other countries, showing that since the Republic of China era, this has been a holiday destination for the rich and famous.
If you have enough time, I suggest the larger loop:
Yucun-Mogao Wo-Jianchi-Luhua Dang Park-Moganshan Conference Old Site-Yinshan Street-Naked Heart Fort-Mogao Wo-Yucun
Total distance: 10 kilometers
📍 Self-driving navigation: Yucun Scenic Area - No. 4 Parking Lot
🎫 Free
🅿️ Parking lot 30 yuan per day, we parked in the parking lot opposite the square for 20 yuan per day in the morning
🍜 Lunch: 'A Qing Sister Noodle Shop', many local cyclists choose this place, it's really good value for money, highly recommended~
⚠️Tips:
① The last bus down the mountain is at 16:30‼️
② The bus transfer points for going up and down the mountain are also the starting/ending points for the mountain sightseeing bus, all located on Yinshan Street
③ The summer weather is changeable, it's a good idea to bring an umbrella and take mosquito prevention measures
④ If hiking, it's suggested to play in Yucun Square after descending the mountain

Naked Heart Series II: Naked Heart Castle
The second installment of the Naked Heart series is here~
Location:
Naked Heart Castle is also located on Moganshan, and it is most famous for its castle.
Castle History:
The history of this castle is very long. It was built by Dr. Metong from Su Ge, who came to China in 1881. The hotel officials learned that the original castle was built in 1910. After constructing the ancient castle No. 1, Dr. Metong would come here to escape the summer heat and also to provide medical care to the villagers on the mountain. Dr. Metong also treated the poor villagers for free.
The castle also has exhibits that introduce its past and present. Those interested in visiting Naked Heart Castle can go and take a look~
Summary:
As mentioned in the previous notes on Naked Heart Valley, friends staying in Naked Heart Valley can book the hotel shuttle bus to visit Naked Heart Castle~ The resort also offers a variety of room types to choose from. The outdoor activities in the valley and the castle are somewhat consistent, including bamboo digging, tea picking, hiking, etc. The photos in the article are from autumn and spring. No matter the season, I feel that each offers a different landscape.

A century-old castle hotel in China. A Princess's Roman Holiday | A century-old castle hotel in China
I'm such a sucker for details!!!
Built in 1910, the castle cost 300 million to construct. I love the solid feel of the stone, the furniture, carpets, portraits, and sculptures - every detail is a surprise. It's like living in a museum, wanting to explore every floor and every corner! Took too many photos, so I'll post them in two parts~
The first part will share the main guest room interiors, and the second part will cover the public outdoor garden area~
It seems there are only 13 guest rooms in the main castle, and only these 13 rooms are available for check-in at the castle, ensuring great privacy. Visitors touring the castle cannot enter the guest room area. There's a hotel golf cart service for the uphill journey, and the butler was very enthusiastic in helping carry luggage to the rooms. The beds are big and tall, really requiring a climb to get on. It was raining on the day I went, and it was very cold and damp on the mountain, but there was heating in both the castle and the rooms. It feels like winter would be a more suitable time to stay, as there might be a lot of mosquitoes in summer.
I was deeply attracted by the royal-themed suite of the castle and set out specifically for it! There are also many surrounding holiday homes, which are relatively cheaper, but they feel similar to most five-star hotels and B&Bs. If it's a girl's trip, they would probably prefer the castle theme~
Remember to bring a swimsuit!!! There's nowhere to buy one on the mountain, and it's a pity not to experience the outdoor cliffside infinity pool with constant temperature.

The century-old castle with a cliffside infinity pool at Naked Heart Castle, Moganshan
📍Century-old Castle & Cliffside Infinity Pool·Naked Heart Castle Moganshan
🕌Naked Heart Castle was opened in 2017
📍Located in Moganshan, the hotel is situated on the mountaintop
🏴It is a transformation of a Scottish castle from 1910, where you can experience the refinement of modern Europe
🏤Environment: Simply amazing, the mountain road leads all the way to the top, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding hills. The century-old castle (built by Scottish missionaries in 1910) and the cliffside pool are very atmospheric.
🌟Service: Five-star praise, with the butler contacting before check-in and adding WeChat. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, and the solutions they provide to problems are reasonable.
🌟Hotel Facilities: The booked Pastoral Residence was upgraded to a Cliff View Suite, which is a cabin built on the cliff. The room is large and comfortable with good privacy, allowing you to enjoy the view of Moganshan while bathing. The interior of the castle is beautiful, with a reception room, wine cellar, reading room, and the view from the outdoor terrace is also great.
🍱Dining:
Naked Heart Taste is the breakfast restaurant (images 3-4), with limited food choices but a fantastic view. The corner spot facing the castle and mountains is recommended, what you eat becomes unimportant.
Dinner at the Battery Tower was just okay, the presentation outshone the food itself, and the value for money was slightly low.
🌟Entertainment: Stayed for three days and two nights, and it was definitely not boring. You can swim in the infinity pool (temperature-controlled in winter), explore the castle, enjoy the view from the balcony, or play darts/ping-pong/pool in the activity room, and you can also sign up for various hotel activities such as hiking/mountain biking/craft making. In addition, Naked Heart Valley and Naked Heart Castle share facilities, so you can go down to Naked Heart Valley for horse riding, fishing, and archery
❗️❗️The Cliff View Room has poor sound insulation due to structural issues, and it was a bit overwhelming when encountering noisy drunk guests at night. However, the hotel's resolution was swift and efficient. Also, the music played by the hotel is quite speechless, mainly KTV love song hits and quite loud, which is a bit of a letdown
✅Some suggestions: The two restaurants at the foot of the mountain (Goldfish Mama and Yiyuan Organic Farm Restaurant) are both very good, clean, and delicious. It's about a 20-30 minute drive from the hotel.
✅The hotel has a hiking trail that goes over the Hundred Steps Ridge and follows the road to Jinmao Tianlai, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Naked Heart Castle, about a 20-minute walk (involving climbing 400 steps).
The hotel offers rental of aristocratic costumes, which should be great for taking beautiful photos in the castle, or you can bring your own formal dress, as every corner is photogenic.
🔗How to choose between Naked Heart Castle and Naked Heart Valley?
Naked Heart Castle is more suitable for couples seeking tranquility, while Naked Heart Valley is more suitable for family and children, with more activities.
🔗How to choose a room type at Naked Heart Castle?
Personally, I think the Cliff View Suite is better. The Pastoral Residence is less than 30 square meters and can feel cramped, and the Castle Suite has a bit of a strange style, suitable for those who like something quirky and are not short on money.
🔗What is the best season to visit?
Moganshan is suitable for all seasons, but summer is more lush, winter is slightly bleak, with heavy fog. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, with sunshine, snow, and fog all possible

Romantic castle tour, experience the song of ice and fire!
Originated from the annual Christmas Naked Heart series lottery, I won a 2% room coupon, and I chose the long-awaited Naked Heart Castle without hesitation.
The South African Gao Tiancheng has a unique vision to recognize the castle owned by the Scottish missionary doctor Merteng and Mr. Zhang Jingjiang, who was recognized as a 'revolutionary saint' by Sun Yat-sen, and transformed it into today's resort, which can be regarded as the ceiling of the homestay industry.
This trip chose a two-room flower courtyard with a bubble pool. Dragging the old and bringing the young to unlock a new vacation mode, giving my mother an unforgettable birthday, nesting in the bubble pool at minus 7 degrees to enjoy the starry sky, and warming up around the fireplace to eat melon seeds and chat about family affairs, 3 days and 2 nights are very suitable
📝Note tips:
1, It is recommended to enter and exit the Naked Heart Castle from the main entrance, the road is relatively open, the uphill road is indeed steep, it is recommended to drive slowly.
2, The hotel dining is more expensive, service fees and taxes need to be added, you can choose takeaway, but the range is very small, the room has a full range of cooking utensils, you can bring your own food to cook.
Squatting for this year's Christmas Naked Heart series lottery, I hope to unlock the Naked Heart Valley next time

A dreamy castle~
Naked Castle - A dreamy castle located in the core area of Moganshan Mountain top. The Naked Castle is simply a 'god-like' existence among domestic hotel homestays, with super luxurious facilities inside, enough to satisfy the splendid imagination of the castle, and the rate of taking pictures is also super high~~ Escape from the noisy city, temporarily forget the prosperity and mediocrity haha, step into here, live in the hotel in the scenery, let your soul fly for a while haha
Leonor Monahan
Moganshan, known as the 'First Mountain in the South of the Yangtze River', is nestled in a sea of clouds with babbling brooks - a unique experience when hiking!
There is too little promotion about Moganshan, and most people don't really understand it. Moganshan is a beautiful mountain with clear water, known for its 'three victories and four absolutes'! It has always been a great travel destination where cultural history and natural scenery are well combined, and experiencing it by hiking is a different kind of scenery!
Walking through the bamboo forest, passing by Jiang Gong Road, and arriving at Naked Castle. The sky has cleared, and the blue sky and white clouds set off the ancient castle buildings, which have a different style. Continue to the Dakeng Scenic Area, the view from the top of the mountain to the clouds sweeps away all fatigue, the continuous mountains change the wonderful depth of daylight due to the heavy clouds, which is very beautiful. Continue to hike, pass through the villa group, Luhua Dang, Jianchi Scenic Area, and come to the last downhill section. Due to continuous heavy rain, the mountain water rushing down from Jianchi winds through the bamboo forest, and many sections of the road are flooded, and the original mud road without steps is even more muddy. But it is precisely because of this that hiking adds a lot of fun!
Tips:
1 Be sure to wear shoes with non-slip soles and bring trekking poles.
2 There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, wear long pants, and bring mosquito repellent.
3 Make sure your phone is fully charged, you'll want to take pictures of every beautiful scene!
4 There are a few restaurants and coffee shops on the mountain, not many replenishment points, bring dry food.
In the sea of clouds, with babbling brooks, such a Moganshan Valley is not only a paradise for children to play, but also a place for adults to relax their minds and bodies~ Moganshan Scenic Area
