The newish highway that runs from Hangzhou to Huangshan (actually in Anhui Povince) gets special emphasis on maps of Zhejiang Province.

Little known outside Zhejiang province, Anji County offers many interesting hikes for the adventurous traveller. Just one hour from the northern bus station in Hangzhou lies Dipu Town. From here you can get buses to Da Zhu Hai (the "Big Bamboo Sea"), where "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed, or the beautiful waterfalls at Can Wang Bai Pu, Long Wan Shan and Furong Gu among others. There is also a "Bamboo Species Museum" with over 200 species of bamboo planted and a botanic garden, Bai Cao Yuan. Most of these places are less than 30 minutes from Dipu town by public minibus.
