  1. 5.0 Damunshan Riding Tea Garden (1 review)
    - A Fun, Relaxing Scenic Getaway
    Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Farms • Scenic Walking Areas
    Damunshan Riding Tea Garden image
    Songyang is one of Lishui’s nine counties in Zhejiang and focuses most of its industry in producing high-quality teas. Over 7,500 hectares (about 29 square miles) of the county is devoted solely to the cultivation of tea fields, with more being created every day. This is one of the most famous tea fields in the area for tourists – its tea house was featured in the Architecture and Landscape section of the 2015 issue of Forbes Magazine! The sight that met me my first time at Damunshan felt like looking into a gorgeous, serene dreamscape. Ranks of neatly trimmed tea bushes stretched across rolling hills in a sea of green set amidst a backdrop of imposing mountains and clear blue skies. Breezes wafted, sending gentle ripples across the water of a lake. I recommend coming here, walking or cycling around the teafields, and then heading into the teahouse for a tea tasting! To get here: One may take a bus from Lishui center (Liandu County) or ask some generous friends to drive you here. It’s a half hour drive from Songyang’s Xinxing town to get to Damunshan. Damunshan (大木山骑行茶园) is actually considered a “Riding Tea Garden” as it’s labeled as China’s largest cycling tea garden. For 30 kuai, one may rent a mountain bike for two hours from the visitor’s center and cycle up and down winding, sometimes narrow, dirt or concrete paths through the fields and around the surrounding hillsides. 8.3 km of the track is designated for “leisure and fitness cycling” while another 7 km is for professionals. For those less cycling-inclined, there’s also a sightseeing electric car for 200 kuai that can be chartered for a group of seven people or less. Be forewarned that China has less safety standards than in the West: often, bikes are given without care to the bike’s conditions – the gears and/or brakes may be iffy, and there will probably be no helmets provided.

    Luoliao Wildwood image
    清明节,一时兴起,跟学弟跑了一趟松阳县,为的就是去箬寮原始林区观鸟。箬寮的徒步路线还算成熟,我们走了箬寮砚这条环线,从最上面停车场上山,走一圈再下来,全程是15km。这条路线的林子较为原始,也能看到很多高海拔的鸟类,如黄腹角雉等。5月份是观赏杜鹃花的最佳季节。 See more..
