Naked Castle
裸心堡
A mountaintop resort created by restoring and extending a century-old castle built by a Scottish missionary, with castle rooms, a cliff-edge pool and a sunset terrace overlooking the Moganshan valleys.
Naked Castle sits on a mountaintop within the Moganshan scenic area. It began as a stone castle built in the early 20th century by Scottish medical missionary David Duncan Main. After many years of neglect, the Naked Group spent several years restoring and expanding it, and it opened in 2017. The resort centres on the castle, with treetop villas and guest rooms scattered around it. It has a cliff-edge infinity pool, a sunset bar and a terrace restaurant. On clear days you can look out over the bamboo forests and valleys of Moganshan, and its sunset views are especially famous. It suits couples, small gatherings and weddings. The main experience is staying overnight, usually at 2,500-6,000 yuan per night. Non-guests can book afternoon tea or a restaurant table through official channels, but spaces are limited. Nearby are Moganshan's old villa cluster and the place where Chairman Mao stayed, so you can visit them while touring the scenic area. Getting there: about 35 minutes by car from Deqing Station. The final stretch uses scenic-area roads (guests pass with a booking; follow scenic-area rules). Note: it is cool on the summit in the morning and evening, so bring a jacket, and the mountain road gets congested on public holidays.
