It turns out we can!!! Our whole family has gone two days without air conditioning, and we don't miss it at all. Does this count as a successful way to beat the heat? The location is Fuchun Taoyuan Scenic Area in Fuyang District, Hangzhou 🏞️🏞️ Look at this photo, it's not an exaggeration to say the scenery is picturesque. The mountains and waters are beautiful, it's stunning. With a little bamboo raft drifting and a gentle mountain breeze blowing, you completely forget about air conditioning, games, or big watermelons. You just want to lie down, close your eyes, breathe, and breathe again, feeling the coolness and freedom of the mountains and fields. 🛶🛶 🌈🌈 This lake has a poetic name, Xiaoyao Yanling Lake. The lake is so large that you can hardly see the end of it. Here, you can not only take a bamboo raft on the lake but also ride a speedboat or experience a thrilling zipline. There's also a huge water obstacle island on the lake, with challenges ranging from easy to difficult, super fun. 🏟️🏟️ Of course, if you come early, you can also hike and visit Jiuxiao Biyun Cave, the largest cave hall in the Asia-Pacific region. From the outside, you can't imagine that inside there's such a large, undivided cave, filled with strange rocks and stalagmites, full of mystery. ⛰️⛰️ 💫💫 We spent the whole weekend here, not wanting to leave at all. In the morning, we hiked and waded in Fuchun Taoyuan and Palm Island, in the afternoon we played in the wave pool at the lake center water park, and at night we camped at Xingchen Shanhai Campground. For meals, we enjoyed local specialties at Liufu Mountain Villa. It was so free and comfortable. 🥗🥗
