It is really a good place for commuters to get refreshed when someone is looking to leave away from the hustle and bustle of cities.

Located in East China's Zhejiang province, Longquan Tourist Resort boasts a vast primitive forest covering an area of 133.33 square kilometers with abundant vegetation, fresh air and clear water forming a natural oxygen bar.

Here you can find Zhejiang's highest peak, Huangmaojian Mountain which has an altitude of 1,929 meters.

For its complicated natural environment, the resort has a well-preserved ecosystem where its density of PM 2.5 remains in single digits all the year round.

Longquan Mountain also features magnificent scenery with many natural wonders, such as spectacular rocks, alpine meadows, canyons, and a sea of clouds.

"It's a really amazing place for me. When I first come here, I was totally touched by its beautiful mountains. To feel every breath of air is sweet!" Hua Kaiyue, a well-travelled online celebrity expressed her impression to Longquan Tourist Resort.

It is also one of the sources of Oujiang River, the second largest river in Zhejiang. Besides this, Longquan Grand Canyon is a must-visit wonder in the resort.

Thanks to the uncanny workmanship of nature, the canyon twists and turns for over 10 kilometers with grotesque rocks and peaks on both sides.

The waterfall has a vertical height of around 60 meters, which looks like a marvelous landscape painting.

To date, the resort has opened six scenic spots for visitors including Huangmaojian Mountain, Longquan Grand Canyon, Oujiang River Source and Seven Star Lake.

It offers visitors a resort integrating sightseeing, leisure vacation, mountain climbing, fitness and other functions.
