Moganshan is very close to Hangzhou .last year I had a chance on weekend go there for a short trip and it is kind of refreshing and relaxing and whenever you want to get rid of hectic life in Shanghai or Hangzhou jump in bus or drive your car and les than an hour you are there.
Moganshan has a great history in Chinese folklore culture.Moganshan was found in 1898 by some foreigners .As They were looking for summer camp and somewhere to pass the hot summers in shang
hai.The Name of "Mogan" comes from a couple who devoted their life for the emperor and came here to work on the swords for battle ,and both of them died here and they were great lovers in Chinese folklors.There were so many missionaries set their meeting and parties there as it is located on on the hills and enjoy fresh and nice climate.So they built a lot of houses and bungalows there and organized the town style as Western style.
That is very small county and the best things to do there is just get of out of the road on trails and walk around and enjoy the greenish , pure and untouched nature or can rent a bike and cycle around
You can get a bus and reach there and then there is a Lodge there which has some activities you can do there and get a drink and play some game sand rest a bit.there are plenty of small cottages form locals which you can hire and spend time there,but you need to negotiate first and cut the price.
It is really mind blowing and refreshing when you want to enjoy tranquil and peaceful and untouched nature.
I was talking for a short time with one of the locals.The day I arrived it started to rain ,but in fact it add the beauty there and nothing missing form that.
