Take a direct bus from Hangzhou West Station to the Tianmu Mountain Visitor Center—about 90 minutes with frequent departures and affordable fares. Transfer to the park shuttle, which reaches the Hanging Lotus viewing area in just 15 minutes. Along the route, enjoy scenic views of thousand-year-old ginkgo groves and forested streams.

Early arrival is recommended to avoid weekend crowds. The site also features eco-interpretive signs and accessible trails, making it suitable for all ages.
At the Hanging Lotus site, visitors can join rock climbing sessions and sunrise photography workshops, capturing the awe-inspiring sight of the suspended rock formation. The site’s distinctive vertical cliff structure, shaped by millennia of erosion and tectonic activity, is hailed as a natural sculpture. Guided ecological tours led by expert naturalists reveal rare ferns and hidden bird habitats nearby. We highly recommend arriving at dawn—when mist swirls around the rock, making it appear floating in the sky. All activities follow strict conservation guidelines, ensuring minimal environmental impact and promoting sustainable tourism.
