Summer days are long, and the greenery is vibrant. Surrounding Zhejiang, there lies a hidden gem of a travel destination, located in the Tianzi Mountain Scenic Area of Zhejiang Tonglu. As the poet Su Shi once wrote, ‘Having traveled through all the waters of the three Wu regions, Tonglu is still considered more beautiful and clear.’ In the summer, Tonglu is adorned with lush green mountains, clear waters, and refreshing breezes, making it an ideal place to escape the heat during the summer vacation. For those seeking the coolness of the mountains in summer, the Tonglu Tiandi Scenic Area is the place to be. This forest park is filled with a joyful atmosphere, not only for its beautiful scenery but also for the numerous entertaining and interesting activities it offers. Visitors can enjoy the mountains, play in the water, listen to the wind, and embark on adventures, escaping the heat and stress of the city to immerse themselves in the lush, healing forest and experience thrilling and fun activities. Sky Magic Carpet: A ‘Conveyor Belt’ to Meet the Scenic Beauty Starting from the mountain foot at the entrance of the park, the first stop is a 216-meter-long magic carpet that can directly transport people to the mid-hill, eliminating the need to worry about the arduous climb. Sitting on the magic carpet, one can also see the outside mountain scenery through the glass. Ascending further, visitors arrive at the Tianzi Mountain viewing platform, which is an excellent spot to enjoy the wild cherry blossoms in spring and the beautiful mountain scenery and lake views in summer. Continuing along the walking trail, a purple long bridge under the shade of the green mountains is the ethereal ‘Purple Silk Delicate Hand.’ Purple Silk Delicate Hand: A Stunning Internet-Famous Photo Spot Hidden under the green forest, there are interesting and thrilling activities. The giant Purple Silk Delicate Hand lies on its back between the green mountains, creating a dreamy scene, while the winding purple bridge looks like a fairy’s purple ribbon, wrapped around delicate hands, fluttering among the green mountains with the wind. The Purple Silk Delicate Hand is梦幻联动 with the shouting spring, where every passing tourist can’t help but shout to compete to see who can make the water column of the spring gush higher. The water column of the shouting spring is like a mischievous child, often flowing down from a high altitude, with the water column spraying left, right, or center, catching the onlookers on the bridge off guard. Therefore, this place is often filled with laughter and joy, and the wonderful shouting spring brings endless happiness to people. If you like taking photos, you must not miss the opportunity to take a photo with the Purple Silk Delicate Hand. A casual shot here is full of fairy spirit, especially suitable for travelers wearing Hanfu. Sky Adventure Park: A Paradise for Adrenaline Rush Continuing through the quiet forest, visitors arrive at the Sky Adventure Park, where the adrenaline rises. In the Sky Adventure Park, there is a cloud ladder skywalk connecting two valleys, and a heart-stopping rope crossing over a cableway. With cliffs beneath your feet, it’s very thrilling. Zi Jinhua Cliff Overlook: A Wonderful Sky Mirror From an aerial perspective, the Zi Jinhua Cliff Overlook looks like a blooming Zi Jinhua in the green mountains.
When viewed up close, it is mainly divided into two layers. The top layer is assembled with special-effect mirror glass without borders to form a sky mirror. Walking on it is like strolling in space. The top layer of the Zijinhua cliff observation deck is the sky mirror. The mountain scenery and blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the glass, like a constantly changing picture scroll. From an aerial view, the Zijinhua cliff observation deck is like a display screen in the mountains and forests. According to the mood of nature, different wonderful pictures are played, either blue sky and white clouds or colorful rays, extremely wonderful. Tianzi Cave: The constant temperature air conditioner at 17°C in the mountains. The wonders of Tianzi Cave are all masterpieces of nature. The cave area of the entire Tianzi Cave is 16,000 square meters. It is rumored that this was once a place where Liu Yu rested and read. Tianzi Cave is composed of three cave halls. The first cave hall is the largest cave hall in Tianzi Cave, with stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone curtains everywhere, extremely colorful; the second cave hall is known for waterfalls and flowing water and never dries up all year round. The third cave hall is the most essence of Tianzi Cave. There are strange scenes such as immortals playing chess, flat peach banquets, and abundant harvests. Tianzi Cave is a good place to escape the summer heat, just like a “central air conditioner” in the mountains. Once here, it is extremely cool. It is adjacent to the Zilong Gorge drifting. After entering the cave, you will first pass through a colorful time tunnel, and then there will be the magnificent wonders of stalactites in various shapes. After walking through the winding cave, there are lanterns like a “underwater world” at the end of the cave. Zilong Gorge glass drifting: A must-visit internet-famous drifting spot in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. A summer without playing in water is soulless. Entering the Tianzidi scenic area in Tonglu and feeling the coolness of summer, you must experience the Zilong Gorge glass drifting once. It is the glass drifting with the longest world record, with a total length of 3.5 kilometers and a drop of more than 300 meters. It has been certified by the World Record Certification Agency (WRCA) as the “world’s longest all-glass drifting”. Every summer, countless people come here to play the “internet-famous” Zilong Gorge drifting. Looking down from an aerial view at high altitude, the entire Zilong Gorge glass drifting is like a giant dragon hovering in the mountains and forests, winding and twisting in the mountains and forests, extremely domineering. Starting from the starting point of drifting, you will pass through multiple S-shaped, Z-shaped, U-shaped, and O-shaped curves along the way. After a round of drifting, it is like taking a “water roller coaster”. Following the slide all the way down, water splashes everywhere, wetting your clothes but making your heart happy. Accompanied by water splashes all the way and continuous screams, the beautiful mountain scenery around the slide is all in sight. After you have experienced a round of drifting in Zilong Gorge and then go to experience drifting in other places, you will always feel that it is a bit lacking. Zilong Gorge drifting not only has clean water quality but also extremely safe glass slides.
If you wish to capture the exciting moments while rafting, it is highly recommended to bring a sports camera or encase your phone in a waterproof bag and wear it around your neck. Of course, throughout the rafting journey, it is crucial to follow the safety instructions, hold onto the handles on both sides of the raft, and ensure safety during the sliding process. Dinosaur Valley: A Paradise for Children’s Play. The most beloved spot in the Tianzi Di Scenic Area for little ones is the Dinosaur Valley!

Sitting on the device and swaying with the playback of the film feels like entering a fantasy world. Tianzi Di Forest Health Resort Hotel: A Sanctuary for Cleansing the Soul. Being close to mountains and waters, enjoying the fun of nature. Staying at the Tianzi Di Scenic Area’s Forest Health Resort Hotel, with its quaint quadrangle, black tiles and white walls, and a garden full of flowers, there is a unique elegance. Looking up at the rooftop of the courtyard, the distant mountains are like dark green ink, floating in the clouds, and a glance down reveals the water wheel casting water into the air. The water wheel turns round and round, and time passes bit by bit. Sitting in a rocking chair, watching the mountains and listening to the water, one can enjoy the healing gifts of nature. The hotel rooms are well-equipped, with soft, large beds that are a comfortable haven for the body after a day of play.
