[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Fuyang Longlinba Sceneic Area (Updated Jul)

Longlin Dam is an artificial dam in the middle of Huyuan Creek in Fuyang District, Hangzhou. The dam consists of countless fan-shaped layers stacked and connected, resembling fish scales, hence the name Longlin Dam. Winter is the dry season of the year, and the scenery is not very attractive, but I really admire the local government for building such an artificial attraction in this mountainous area where there is nothing, which attracts countless tourists to visit. There are many homestays around Longlinba, including many under construction. It is estimated that they can accommodate 1,000 people during the peak season. If you are just looking at it, it would be boring if there are too many people, and it would be very difficult to shoot. Even though it is the absolute off-season now, it is not easy to shoot scenes without people. The biggest advantage of accommodation is that it is convenient for shooting, especially at night, which can add a lot of creativity. #China #ChinaTravel #ChinaTourism #Zhejiang #HangzhouTravel #Stream #River #Waterfall #Bridge

When I went to Fuyang, I came across a small and sparsely populated water play area: Fuyang Longlin Dam As the name suggests, the Dragon Scale Dam has layers upon layers of winding water pouring down. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, it looks like dragon scales, which is particularly spectacular and shocking. There is a dam dedicated to water play here.

[Fuyang Longlin Dam Water Play: Cool Summer, Dancing Dragon Scales] In the scorching summer, when the heat wave in the city is unbearable, a refreshing trip to Fuyang Longlin Dam is quietly launched. Here, it is not only a masterpiece of nature, but also a summer resort that is fascinating. Longlin Dam is located in the middle of Huyuan Creek, Huyuan Township, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City. It is only a few kilometers away from Hangzhou City, but it seems to be isolated from the hustle and bustle and heat of the world. As soon as you step into this magical land, the first thing that comes into view is the staggered stepped dam like dragon scales. The 118-meter-long dam has a total of thirteen layers from top to bottom. Each "dragon scale" is a carefully designed small reservoir, which is clear and sparkling. When the river flows slowly, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green trees, showing the tranquility and beauty of the village. When the river is slightly turbulent, the water flows down the layers of "dragon scales", forming a series of small waterfalls, which are visually impactful and make people stop and watch, sighing the magic of nature. Here, water play has become the most popular activity. Tourists roll up their trouser legs, step into the cool stream, and feel the comfort of the water flowing gently over the skin. The children are even more excited, playing and making trouble among the "dragon scales", splashing water, and laughter echoing in the valley. Adults either take photos for commemoration, or sit quietly by the river, enjoying this rare tranquility and coolness, as if all the troubles are gone with the water. Fuyang Longlin Dam Water Play is not only a physical refreshing trip, but also a spiritual baptism and relaxation. Here, you can temporarily forget the troubles and sorrows of the world, and find inner peace and joy. In the scorching summer, why not come to Fuyang Longlin Dam for a walk and play, let the coolness and laughter accompany you through an unforgettable summer!

When I went to Chongzuo, Guangxi in January, I didn't go to Fish Scale Dam due to weather reasons. I always felt it was a pity. I didn't expect to see the similarly shaped Dragon Scale Dam in Fuyang this time. I'm so happy! 。 The water here is very clean, and there are many B&Bs, stalls, and cafes in the surrounding area, selling water guns, mesh bags, and swimming rings 。 🎫 Tickets: Free 🚗 Transportation: Public transportation is inconvenient, it is recommended to drive by yourself. It takes over three hours to drive from Shanghai 🅿️ Parking: 10 dollars, we went on a working day when there are not many cars directly to the left, no parking fee 🌟 There are also Longmen Ancient Town and Wuxi Scenic Area nearby, you can arrange to go shopping together

🥹 The people of Fuyang are really strict! It turns out that Hangzhou people have their own Jiuzhaigou! For those who want to play in the water and trace rivers, don't go to those crowded popular places anymore. Come to this hidden gem in Fuyang! It's very suitable for self-driving tours around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and also for camping! And there's no entrance fee for the whole trip, and basically no parking fees either! - ‼️ Below is the self-driving route guide - ✅ First stop: Longmen Ancient Town A very charming ancient town, with distinctive stone houses and stone roads. The best part is that you don't need a ticket to enter through the alleys (the normal ticket price is 70). I went directly to a famous local restaurant in the scenic area for a meal, navigated to this place (Sun Quan's Restaurant), and then strolled around after eating. 🅿️ Parking: There are very few people now, just find a spot by the roadside. - ✅ Second stop: Longlin Dam It should be a recently popular water play spot. Originally, it was only 13km from Longmen Ancient Town to here, but it was a bit congested, taking more than an hour to get there. There weren't many people, but I recommend driving further up where there are fewer people and cleaner water! 🅿️ Parking: Someone waved for parking, 10 yuan per spot, but you can continue forward and park by the roadside for free. - ✅ Third stop: Lianhua Dam Located in Shangzang Village, Fuyang, you can navigate directly to Lianhua Dam. This place is really peaceful, worthy of being called the Little Jiuzhaigou of Fuyang, it's truly beautiful! Some people fish and boat here, and there are very few people. The water is emerald green, giving a real vacation vibe! Camping here is quite enjoyable! 🅿️ Parking: Just find a spot by the roadside. - ✅ Fourth stop: Huilong Village There's a popular small bridge by the roadside where you can park and take photos without entering the village. You can also play in the water here, but parking is not very convenient. I didn't stay long and went directly to the next spot. - ✅ Fifth stop: Tangjia Village Continue driving 600 meters up from Huilong Village, and you'll reach here. There's a heart-shaped dam worth checking out, mainly located at the bend of the river! The unique feature here is that you can drive directly onto the dam! It's so free! Many people wash their cars here! The water here is really clear, with the water surface blending seamlessly with the mountains and sky, it's incredibly beautiful! Some people camp here, it's very chill. - ✅ Sixth stop: Majian Old Street Mantou After a day of playing in the water, you must be tired. You can visit the old street here to eat and stroll around. The most famous items here are Majian Mantou, tofu buns, and steamed cakes, worth trying. - You can choose a place to completely relax and play for an afternoon, camping with friends is highly recommended, or you can follow my route for a self-driving tour! 💡 I also included a self-driving route for reference (see picture).
