Beat the summer heat on this private day trip from Wuxi to the cool green hideaway of Longmen Valley in Lin'an, on the northern ridges of the Tianmu Mountains. This is a relaxed water-and-scenery day, perfect for travellers who want to enjoy nature and clear mountain streams without any demanding hiking.

Your English-speaking guide and private driver collect you from your Wuxi hotel and drive you into the peaceful mountains around Longshang Village. The valley is famous as a summer escape, with shaded streamside scenery in the warmer months. Your first stop is the photogenic fish-scale weir, a stepped river structure that has become a local icon. Here you can view the stepped weir and enjoy the riverside setting; entering the water depends on conditions and local guidance.

Following the wide, gently flowing stream, you wander beside clear pools and shaded riverbanks at your own easy pace, with plenty of time to take photos and unwind by the water. Lunch is included during the day, with time to rest and enjoy the mountain scenery.

In the afternoon you continue to a tranquil pool where you can rest and enjoy the mountain scenery before strolling back to your vehicle. Your guide keeps everything relaxed and shares local stories along the way. This tour suits families, couples and anyone wanting a refreshing, authentic day out near Wuxi. In the late afternoon you settle into your private vehicle for the comfortable return drive to your hotel.
