Hey guys! You absolutely must visit Anji! Missing out on Yunshang Grassland would be heartbreaking 😭! Just a 50-minute drive from Hangzhou, you’ll reach this hidden gem in northern Zhejiang at an altitude of 1,186 meters. At the mountain peaks lies a stunning grassland bordering a thousand-foot-deep canyon—standing there feels like you can almost touch the clouds. I was super lucky on my visit: within a single day, the weather cycled through sunshine, clouds, rain, and mist, each scene looking like it had special effects, making every penny worth it!
✨ Travel is an art of timing. As a "veteran" who’s visited Anji ten times, here’s your ultimate guide—save it now!
📅 Best Times to Visit
☁️ Sea of Clouds: Sunny spring and summer days, especially right after rain, when the air is clear and humid, offer the highest chance of witnessing a breathtaking sea of clouds—perfect for dreamy photos!
