Originally similar to Jiuzhaigou, it was known as the Taihu Lake Source Scenic Area of Little Jiuzhaigou.

Taihu Lake Source Scenic Area is located at the southern foot of Mushan Mountain in Lin 'an City, Hangzhou, and the main source of Taihu Lake is here, hence the name of Taihu Lake Source. There are fifteen scenic spots in Shili Changgu, including Longxubi, Yunbitan, Siyuan Gallery, Shen Qian Cliff, Shenfeng Valley, Shuanglongtan, Ancient Temple, Baizhang _, xianrentai and Jiyuan Temple.

The scenic spot is surrounded by cliffs, Qingxi Long song, waterfalls and wild monkeys. It is similar to Jiuzhaigou in ecology and primitiveness, so it is called Little Jiuzhaigou.

Introduction to Taihu Lake Source

The source of Taihu Lake is located at the southern foot of Tianmu Mountain in Lin 'an. As the name implies, it is the source of Taihu Lake. There are pure mountains and streams here, which are famous for their coolness. In 27, Yao Ming and his wife took wedding photos here, which attracted reporters from all over the country to report. The source of Taihu Lake, which was unknown at first, has become a popular attraction in the Yangtze River Delta.

General situation of Taihu Lake Source

The scenic spot at the source of Taihu Lake is small, and the tour route is simple. There is only one route, that is, the gate of the scenic spot goes to the source of Taihu Lake, and then the original road returns. The path is not steep and easy to walk. It takes about two or three hours to walk the whole distance. In fact, the stream at the source of Taihu Lake is not too big. After all, they are the source, but there are several waterfalls worth seeing. You can swim in the seaside stream in summer, which is the most lovely place at the source of Taihu Lake.

Tour route

The first thing you see when you enter the scenic spot is a golden toad statue in the pool. Many people tried to throw coins into its mouth. Not far from the dragon beard wall, clumps of dragon beard grow on the vertical cliff. The breeze blew and the grass floated in the air, which was very spectacular.

The next scenic spot is a huge "source" stone on the roadside, named the source of Taihu Lake. This stone is often used by tourists as a symbol of the source of Taihu Lake. In front of Purple Stone is Yunbi Lake, where you can swim in summer and there are bumper boats for tourists to play (around 5 yuan). In Siyuan Gallery nearby, there is a Jingui tree covered with red stripes, which was the "love tree" planted by Yao Ming and his wife. Next to it is a graphic introduction about their wedding photos here, which has now become one of the attractive places.

Continue to watch monkeys play ping-pong, and a group of monkeys appear in the field of vision. Visitors can buy monkey feed and take photos with monkeys under the guidance of the breeder. Although the monkeys here are docile most of the time, they may still give you a "gentle blow", so you should follow the instructions of the breeder here, don't tease them too much, and don't tease them while eating. Be safe.

Go on, pass Fengshen Valley, Zuihua Waterfall and Shuanglongtan, and you will see an ancient Buddhist temple. There is a teahouse next to the ancient Buddhist temple. You can have a rest or drink some local cloud tea, and then continue. About 15 minutes' walk from the back of the Buddhist temple is the source of Taihu Lake. On the way, we will pass the last two scenic spots, Baizhang Lake and Xianren Cave. Baizhang Lake flows down against the stone wall with a drop of more than 1 meters. It is one of the most noteworthy waterfalls at the source of Taihu Lake.

The end of the scenic spot is the real source of Taihu Lake. There is a source altar dedicated to the god who guards the source, which contains gods such as water god and god of wealth. In front of the temple, there is the head of the zodiac, and the source of Taihu Lake gushes out. After taking photos here, you can go back the same way.

In recent years, the surrounding farmhouses have developed rapidly, and the farmhouses in Baisha Village are the most famous. Ordinary farmhouses with a price of 1 yuan and holiday hotels with a price of several hundred yuan can be found. You can consider staying here. In addition, Taihu Lake Source is close to Shenlongchuan scenic spot in the south, and tourists often arrange them to visit together.
