I Can't Get Enough of These 2-Hour Getaways from Nanjing!

This Outdoor Paradise in Anji is Absolutely Amazing!|||·4 ·Passionate about photography｜Travel enthusiast｜Fashion lover｜Sharing life's little joys💕 Just returned from a trip to Anji! Successfully escaped the 40°C heat of Nanjing and embarked on an amazing summer retreat nearby. I've compiled my travel guide for this Anji adventure. It's summer vacation now, but the park isn't too crowded—definitely worth a visit! 📍Destination: Huzhou Anji Panda Tribe Adventure Park 🚄Transportation Guide: From Nanjing, take a train to Anji Station, then a taxi directly to the park. If driving, it takes 1-1.5 hours from Hangzhou and 2.5-3 hours from Nanjing. ➊Sky Road Go-Kart ★★★★★ Perfect for all ages—today I got to be the "Initial D racer"! Though filming in first-person was tricky with all the sharp turns, I didn't dare go too fast while holding my phone. The wind whistling past felt like being in a real-life QQ Speed game—one ride wasn't enough! ➋Bamboo Forest Drifting ★★★★★ So much fun playing in the water amidst the mountains! With the blue sky and white clouds above, gliding through the forest in a kayak was incredibly refreshing. ➌Swan Lake ★★★★☆ A paradise for photos and relaxation! The emerald lake reflects the distant mountains, and black swans glide gracefully across the water. It felt like a mini Sayram Lake in Xinjiang—a stunning "little glass sea" that delights the senses. ➍Panda Mountain Climb ★★★★☆ A "painless" ascent with shaded paths all the way up, letting you enjoy the scenery while reaching the summit effortlessly. If you prefer hiking, there are trails for that too—a great way to break a sweat. ➎Petting Zoo ★★★★☆ Get up close with capybaras, Call ducks, and alpacas—a sure hit with kids. The large lawn at the park entrance even has grazing sheep, so picturesque it makes you forget all your worries. ➏Bamboo Forest Café & Capybara Café ★★★★☆ Located halfway up the mountain, sip coffee while overlooking the stunning views below and petting adorable capybaras—pure bliss. The park also offers affordable snacks and cold drinks, though you're welcome to bring your own food.
