Putang Bamboo Sea
濮塘竹海
Rolling moso bamboo groves and village guesthouses on the eastern outskirts of the city. Spring bamboo shoots, mountain springs and bamboo-grove trails are the signature attractions.
Putang lies in the eastern part of Yushan District, Ma'anshan, bordering Jiangning District of Nanjing. Moso bamboo groves cover the hillsides, earning it the name 'Putang Bamboo Sea'. It is a popular weekend getaway for residents of Ma'anshan and Nanjing. Guesthouses, farmhouse restaurants and bamboo-grove trails line the mountain roads. In spring you can dig for bamboo shoots and enjoy bamboo-shoot banquets, while in summer the forest stays cool. It is about 30 minutes' drive from the city, so self-driving is recommended. The coordinates refer to the Putang town centre.
