Detailed itinerary
1
07:30 Meet up. Depart.
9:00 Arrive at the ‘grasslands above the Clouds’ – the lower Yunshang grasslands scenic area.
Board the mountainscape sightseeing cableway - the longest passenger cableway in Northern Zhejiang.
Ride for 2.3km, ascending over 750 vertical meters. Step out of the colorful cableway car directly onto the cloud grasslands.
Experience your first rush of the day at the rainbow grass slides. Race friends under gorgeous blue mountaintop sky.
12:00左 Eat lunch together (either at a restaurant meal within the scenic zone, or your own packed lunch).
After lunch move on to big ticket attractions.
Via Ferrata：Break mental barriers, focus, and engage. Ferrata climb a valley cliff face.
The Sky Swings：“The top 200-meter tall cliff is a perfectly good place for a swing set”. Feel your soul soar!
A glass-panel walkway. A transparent bridge. The edge of the sky. Walk on clear glass several hundred meters above the ground. Feel what it’s like to walk on air. React as the glass “cracks” beneath your feet.
Wonderland “Unplugged”： High-speed grass tobogganing, super slides and romantic Holland-style windmills.
Remember: your time here is just that – yours. If you want to lay on the grass and stare at the sky; walk to the mountain pinnacle to feel the breeze; or take pictures at the valleys – it’s your choice.
The Yunshang grassland scenic zone also has motor-paragliding – just in case the 1100-meter mountaintop isn’t high enough. Look down on the mountains from 200 meters above (paid separately).
17:00 Regroup. Descend on the cableway. Board transport and return to Hangzhou.
18:30 Arrive back in Hangzhou.
See you next tour!
