Hangzhou Moganshan Private Day Tour with Local Tour Guide

Discover Moganshan on a private day tour from Hangzhou. Visit Chairman Mao's former residence, explore Luhuadang Park, and admire panoramic views from Xuguang Terrace.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Hangzhou. Meet your driver-guide and head west on the Hang-Ning Expressway, enjoying a scenic drive to Moganshan. Your private car takes you directly up the mountain, so you can skip the shuttle bus transfer.

Arrive at the Queen’s Hotel and explore Chairman Mao’s former residence, where he stayed in 1954. Discover preserved exhibits and vintage photographs from that era.

Next, stroll through Luhuadang Park, the largest hilltop park in Moganshan, with century-old trees and bamboo groves. Stop for lunch at a mountaintop restaurant serving local farm-style dishes (at your own expense), or choose to dine in Yucun Village at the foot of the mountain.

After lunch, take a short walk to Xuguang Terrace, one of the best viewpoints in Moganshan, offering sweeping panoramas of the endless bamboo sea. Then, explore the Wuling Village villas, including Chiang Kai-shek’s former residence (Songyue Pavilion). The villas are tucked among lush greenery, perfect for photography.

Visit the Hilltop Chapel, a Gothic-style building with stained glass, and take a short break at a mountaintop café (own expense). Then, head to Jianchi, the heart of Moganshan. According to legend, the master swordsmiths Ganjiang and Moye forged their famous swords here. Four tiers of waterfalls cascade over moss-covered rocks into deep pools, surrounded by cliff inscriptions.

Finally, drive down the mountain to Yucun Town, a charming Republic-era cultural quarter at the foot of Moganshan. Stroll along the tree-lined streets, visit Yucun Square with its red-brick clock tower and circling white doves. The area is free to enter, ideal for photos, coffee, and browsing artisan boutiques.
