Wow! Tonglu's secret summer resort is simply unbelievable! Tonglu people actually hide such a cool fairyland, enjoying the fun of tracing streams alone, while we are still suffering under the scorching sun. It's time to unveil this mystery, and we also want to join this refreshing feast! Two-day cool adventure, set off immediately! 🚗 Day 1: At dawn, we set off from Suzhou and drove straight to Qinxixiang Valley. Upon arrival, we saw clear water winding around the mountains, and the coolness hit us. The first stop, the coffee aroma by the waterfall, we took a break here, and the collision of the waterfall and coffee under the lens became the most beautiful memory of summer. In the afternoon, we changed into light gear, stepped into the cool stream, and enjoyed an unconventional afternoon tea. The sweetness of iced watermelon intertwined with the richness of coffee, paired with the smoky flavor of barbecue, was simply a feast for the taste buds. Then, we delved into the Scholar's Cave, winding and deep, the cold air inside was chilling, as if stepping into another world. Climbing to the top of the Scholar's Temple, overlooking the valley, was refreshing. As night fell, the starry sky party in the valley ignited passion, with music and starlight intertwined, extremely romantic. Day 2: The next day, we moved to Fuchun Peach Blossom Land, specially designed for travelers seeking relaxation and pleasure. Jiuxiao Biyun Cave, with a constant temperature of only 17° inside the natural cave, made people forget the outside heat. The stalactites were oddly shaped, and there was even a spectacle like the "Leaning Tower of Pisa," which was breathtaking. Then, we took the roller coaster, sliding straight down, thrilling yet pleasant. The jungle glass drift, experiencing the fun of playing with water while staying dry, had a unique flavor. On the Xiaoyao Rock Ridge Lake, the bamboo raft swayed lightly, the lake breeze brushed gently, and the green mountains on both sides were picturesque, allowing the soul to be completely released. Finally, the wave pool on the island in the lake, with more than 40 water challenge modules, let us fully release the summer passion, with laughter echoing on the lake. On the way back, with full coolness and laughter, we drove back, silently planning the next cool trip to Tonglu in our hearts. Remember, choose a pair of non-slip shoes for hiking, bring a thin shirt to keep warm, and don't forget mosquito repellent measures, making every adventure perfect!
