One of the filming locations for the bamboo-forest fight scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (according to records): a continuous moso-bamboo base spanning about 10,000 mu (approx. 667 hectares), with Wunu Spring (Five Maidens Spring) and viewing platforms as stops and hiking trails winding through waves of bamboo. After the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, this place became an iconic emblem of China's bamboo-forest scenery. In summer the shade under the bamboo is cool, and the mist after rain is the most photogenic; it can be linked with the Tianhuangping Pumped-Storage Power Station and Yucun Village into one route — the core must-see of an Anji bamboo-country trip.
Getting there: In Tianhuangping Town, Anji County; approx. 50 min by taxi / self-drive from Anji Station
