Anji: Bamboo Sea and Waterfalls
China Bamboo Sea (中国大竹海) — the place where the famous flying scene above the bamboo grove in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed. Endless bamboo forests, an observation tower, and a glass trail will give you unforgettable impressions.
Hundred Dragon Waterfalls (藏龙百瀑 Zànglóng Bǎipù) — the largest waterfall cascade in Zhejiang province. The main gem is the three-tiered "Long Dragon" waterfall, 60 meters high. You will walk along a trail beside raging streams, see waterfalls with rainbows, and a turtle-shaped rock.
