What to expect
Hike up Mount Mogan (or Moganshan) and discover the abundance of its natural beauty and history! Considered the "Hamptons of China," this was where politicians, missionaries, and gangsters (including Chiang Kaishek and Mao Zedong) would come to escape Shanghai's heat. After getting picked up by your tour guide at the lobby of your hotel in Hangzhou, you will travel north all the way to the mountain. At the start of this hike, you will pass through the cool and shaded Jianggong Ancient Path. You will then enjoy some local delicacies with a friendly local farmer. Next, go from Zhonghua Hill to Luhuadang by strolling through the circular trail located at the highest part of the mountain. End the tour at Jianchi Feipu, which is not only a great scenic point, but was also a forge during ancient times. Book, join the hike, and be enamored by this fascinating mountain.
Reviews
If you’re looking to breathe in extremely fresh air, walk through bamboo forests and get some cardio done, this is the hike for you! The hike took us around 1.5 hours to reach the summit where you’ll be given a fantastic meal comprising village dishes (农家菜). The hot soulful meal will be the perfect accompaniment after a winter’s hike!
Guide informed us of the pickup timing via whatsapp the day before. Good views and good workout! There actually weren't that many people hiking from the bottom which meant that we pretty much had the entire place to ourselves to take photos and enjoy. The bamboo provides nice shade which protects you from the sun so you don't have to worry about burning up. Had a nice homecooked lunch near the top which included chicken soup and various veggies!
