Nestled within Zhejiang Province’s Mogan Mountain, Luhuadang stands as a crown jewel among China’s national 4A scenic areas – a designation reflecting its exceptional natural beauty and tourism infrastructure. Known historically as one of China’s four premier summer retreats, this forested haven offers respite from urban heat through its network of shaded trails and bamboo groves that whisper in the mountain breeze.
As global temperatures rise, destinations like Luhuadang gain prominence among travelers seeking sustainable eco-tourism experiences. The area’s microclimate, maintained by 92% forest coverage, creates natural air conditioning that has attracted visitors since the late Qing Dynasty. Modern visitors can follow in the footsteps of early 20th-century Shanghai entrepreneurs who built stone villas here, blending European architecture with traditional Chinese landscaping.
