The full name should be "Taoyuanjian-Maoshanjian-Luchun Lake Rhododendron Sea", located 32 kilometers south of Quzhou, Zhejiang. As far as East China is concerned, it should be the most spectacular place to enjoy flowers, and it is free!
Taoyuanjian, Maoshanjian and Lvchun Lake are a mountain range from south to north, with an altitude of about 1400 meters. The whole ridge stretches for more than ten kilometers, and rhododendrons are distributed on both sides of the ridge. In other words, to appreciate the beautiful scenery of this flower sea, you still have to pay some physical strength and always rely on your legs.
But don't worry too much. The first part of the uphill road may be steep, and you will feel a little hard. On the ridge section, it is basically a gentle uphill and downhill, which feels like flat land.
Because of altitude and temperature, the stamens of this rhododendron flower are delayed, usually around May Day, and the whole flowering period can only last about 12 days, so you should take the time to appreciate the strange beauty of this ridge!
When I went up the mountain, it was still raining heavily. The rain stopped when I reached the ridge. God is really happy, and the clouds on the mountain are thicker at this time.
The ridges of Taoyuan and Maoshanjian are relatively gentle, and the Green Spring Lake is relatively steep, so you can choose according to your physical condition. Generally speaking, it is enough to go up the mountain to enjoy flowers and go down the mountain for one day.
Of course, if you want to stay here for a few more days, you can carry a tent, sleeping bag and floor mat to experience it in depth. Accommodation here is very convenient. There are many farmhouses to choose from in the village below the mountain. There is no need to make an appointment, so it is not a problem to find them now.
Take advantage of the weekend, make an appointment with friends, take a little hard mountain road and enjoy a little fresh beauty, isn't it soon?
Besides climbing mountains and enjoying flowers, if you have leisure time, it is also a good choice to go to the nearby Shuitingmen Historical and Cultural Street and Michelle.
Last reminder: the weather in mountainous areas is changeable, so prepare rain-proof facilities. Have fun!
