Sep10-12|【Last Pure Land of Jiangnan】Songyang Forest Hike, Tea Plantation Cycling/Zen Retreat

Respite from the city, venture into the mountains, jump into wild waterfalls, and bathing in sweet-smelling forest..

Take the Mid Autumn Holiday with us for a relaxing Zen retreat to Songyang - an absolute hidden gem out of the world.

Praised by National Geographics as "the last fairyland of Jiangnan", Songyang is a remote mountain region in Zhejiang that boasts vast untouched nature, postcard-perfect villages, undulating terrace field, idyllic tea garden, and rustic lifestyle unspoiled by tourism.

While it offers exquisite guesthouses, hip cafes and design-led galleries that made it an ideal place for a chic bucolic escape, most of Songyang still remains its primitive simplicity, where plowing, cattle pasturing and tea growing are still daily life for locals like hundreds of years ago.

If you are looking for a rural getaway to the mountains yet still want a touch of luxury, this trip is the perfect one.
