A Three-Day Adventure in Moganshan
A Three-Day Adventure in Moganshan: Where Nature Meets Hospitality
Day 1: A Warm Welcome at Mo Yan Homestay
Our journey began with a 4-night stay at Mo Yan Homestay (莫颜·莫干山Villa环山溯溪美宿(庾村广场店)), a cozy retreat nestled close to the hiking trails of Moganshan. As we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted by the hosts, who are among the best we’ve encountered in China. Their hospitality set the tone for what would become an unforgettable experience.
The Amenities
The hotel is a paradise for families, offering a large outdoor pool, a rooftop barbecue area, and an additional ground-floor barbecue spot. For indoor fun, there’s a spacious billiard table and an arcade set that our kids absolutely loved. We booked a children’s themed room, which came with a balcony offering stunning views of the river, mountains, and lush bamboo forests.
Day 2: Hiking the Trails
Moganshan is a hiker’s paradise, offering a variety of trails that cater to all levels of experience. The air is clean, fresh, and noticeably cooler than the city, making it a perfect escape. On our second day, we decided to explore the trails. We hiked for about two hours until we reached a path that was too challenging for the kids. The trails were steep, muddy, and slippery, so we decided to turn back. But the adventure wasn’t over; we vowed to return and conquer the mountain—just without the kids next time.
Day 3: A Scenic Bus Ride and More Hiking
On the third day, we opted for a different approach. We purchased bus tickets to go up the mountain, costing us ¥387 yuan ($54) for three adult tickets (kids under 1 meter in height ride for free). The ride offered breathtaking views of beautiful lakes, waterfalls, and amazing scenery. However, our hike was cut short again due to broken staircases that were too dangerous for the kids to pass.
Later, I discovered various trail options in Moganshan. It’s a great resource for planning future hikes, and we’re already looking at trails we can tackle on our next visit.
Despite the challenges, our trip to Moganshan was a resounding success. The combination of natural beauty and exceptional hospitality at Mo Yan Homestay made it a trip to remember. We’re already planning our next visit, and this time, we’ll be better prepared to conquer the trails.
So, if you’re looking for a destination that offers both adventure and relaxation, Moganshan should be at the top of your list. And when you go, consider staying at Mo Yan Homestay; it’s the perfect base for exploring all that this beautiful region has to offer.
