Mukeng Bamboo Forest
木坑竹海
A bamboo sea spanning 10,000 mu in a mountain hollow near Hongcun, where the bamboo-top duel in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was filmed. Trails lead through the forest to a hilltop viewing platform.
Mukeng Bamboo Forest is in Hongcun Town, Yi County, about 5 km from Hongcun. In a valley about 600 m above sea level, endless moso bamboo forests surround more than twenty Huizhou-style farmhouses. The bamboo-top duel between Li Mu Bai and Jen Yu in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was filmed here. Stone-step trails lead through the bamboo to a viewing platform overlooking the bamboo sea, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours round trip. Admission is about ¥45. Farmhouse restaurants on the mountain serve bamboo shoots and free-range chicken. You will need to hire a car to get there, and you can combine it with Tachuan and Hongcun in one day.
