Geographical Location
Cloud Mist Valley Tourist Resort is nestled in Tangquan Street, Pukou District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. It sits between the lush Laoshan Mountains to the north and the majestic Yangtze River to the south. Just 18 kilometers from downtown Nanjing, this spot feels worlds away from the city hustle. Major roads like the Nanjing-Hefei Expressway, Jiangsu Ring Road, and Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Rail whisk you straight to Cloud Mist Valley, with the Yangtze River Third Bridge nearby for added convenience.
Transportation Tips
Getting to Cloud Mist Valley is a breeze! If driving, punch in “202 County Road, Longjing Community, Tangquan” into your GPS. By train, hop off at Nanjing South Station (connected to the high-speed rail network) and grab a taxi—it’s about 30 minutes. For eco-warriors, local buses from downtown Nanjing drop you close by. Pro tip: Visit on a sunny day to soak in the valley’s full charm!
Natural Scenery
Nature lovers, rejoice! Cloud Mist Valley is framed by forested Laoshan Mountains and the shimmering Yangtze River. Springtime paints the valley in cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, while summer brings cool mountain breezes perfect for escaping Nanjing’s humidity. Autumn turns the fruit orchards into a bumper crop of peaches, grapes, and persimmons. Even winter shines here, with plump red plump trees blooming against misty mountain backdrops.
Agricultural Magic
This isn’t just pretty landscapes—Cloud Mist Valley blends farming with futuristic tech. Wander through high-tech greenhouses where robots tend crops, or visit the “Agriculture Science Playground” (as we call it) with interactive exhibits. Kids love the VR farm tours, while foodies dig the on-site juice factory churning fresh-pressed apple cider. It’s like visiting a sci-fi farm!
Cultural Vibes
While mostly nature-focused, Cloud Mist Valley sneaks in local flavor. The nearby Tangquan Hot Springs (a Nanjing fave) offers relaxing soaks after a hike. During harvest festivals, you might catch traditional lion dances or try your hand at dumpling-making with rural families. Pro tip: Ask staff about seasonal events—they often involve free fruit-tasting!
Food & Stay Options
Hungry? The resort’s farm-to-table restaurant serves up stir-fries with veggies plucked that morning. For sweet tooths, scoop up homemade ice cream in flavors like lavender honey or lychee. Stayover? Cozy guesthouses mimic farmhouses (with WiFi, don’t worry). Campers can pitch tents near the river, but book early—weekend spots disappear fast!
Family-Friendly Fun
Bring kids? They’ll flip. There’s a petting zoo with goats and ducks, a giant swing overlooking fields, and a “Fruit Detective” scavenger hunt. Teens might prefer zip-lining across the valley or racing remote-control cars on dirt tracks. Bonus: Most activities are included in the ticket—no hidden fees!
Year-Round Experiences
Spring: Join cherry blossom tea parties under flower arches.
Summer: Cool off in mist-shrouded mountain streams.
Fall: Pluck peaches straight from trees (and eat them dust-free!)
Winter: Snap photos in frost-kissed plump forests.
Insider Hacks

Whether you’re a nature nerd, tech buff, or just craving a break from city life, Cloud Mist Valley Tourist Resort has something sticky (like maple-syrup-covered everything). Trust me—you’ll leave with dirt under your nails and a weird urge to start a window herb garden.
