Nestled in Huzhou’s forested hills, Moganshan—dubbed the ‘Hamptons of China’—is reemerging as a premier staycation destination. Just three hours from Shanghai, this tranquil retreat offers lush bamboo forests, serene hiking trails, and kayaking opportunities that transport visitors far from urban bustle.
Where History Meets Modern Luxury
Once a summer escape for early 20th-century elites, Moganshan now blends historic charm with contemporary comforts. Over 300 boutique hotels occupy restored villas, while whimsical touches like a Scottish-inspired castle add unexpected flair. The area’s revitalized dining scene showcases local Zhejiang cuisine alongside international flavors.
Weekend Warriors’ Playground
Urban professionals and families flock here to hike mist-shrouded paths, cycle through tea plantations, or simply unwind in cliffside hot springs. With improved infrastructure and sustainable tourism initiatives, Moganshan balances accessibility with environmental preservation—a model for China’s growing eco-tourism sector.
