A weekend getaway to a place brimming with ethereal beauty!

Lanting Pusheng | Where humanity and nature converge, there lies enchantment. Shaoxing truly is a land of outstanding people, a place that has nurtured talent throughout history. Mount Kuaiji seems to possess an otherworldly aura. This weekend, I brought my child here for their birthday and to experience the magical atmosphere of the mountain. Pusheng, formerly known as Lanting Anlu, is now independently operated by the owner. The service remains impeccable, with butlers readily available and a rich array of hotel activities. Nestled at the foot of Mount Weiwan in the Kuaiji Mountains, the hotel is graced by the flowing waters of the Ruoye River, a Taoist blessed land. The Yangming Grotto, one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens of Taoism, is also located here, making it a truly auspicious site. Wang Shouren, later known as Wang Yangming, once resided and lectured here. The lobby is a 1:1 restoration of a general's mansion, featuring a double courtyard design that evokes a connection between humanity and the cosmos. After breakfast, you can practice Baduanjin here or immerse yourself in the tranquility of copying the Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion. The hotel is expansive, and simply wandering around can easily fill half a day. The spa, Shenlu, and Ruoye Concert Hall, each a feast for the eyes, embody Jaya Ibrahim's profound understanding of Chinese culture. Spring is the ideal season for hiking. You can ascend from the Yangming Grotto, with the highest point being Incense Burner Peak. It's said to be a three-hour climb. We turned back midway. Along the mountain path, you'll find the Yangming Academy, He Zhizhang's Longrui Palace inscription carved into the cliff face, and traces of the path where the legendary Yu the Great once walked to tame the floods. Truly, where humanity and nature converge, there lies enchantment. Nature possesses an incredibly high energy field. Perhaps it was on a clear night beneath Mount Weiwan that Wang Yangming penned the line, "Within my heart, a bright moon shines, forever whole, eternally divine."
