Mount Mogan

Mount Mogan or Moganshan (Chinese: 莫干山; pinyin: Mògān Shān) is a mountain located in Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, 60 kilometers from the provincial capital Hangzhou and 200 km from Shanghai.

According to Chinese legend, in the Spring and Autumn period of 770- 476 BC, China’s most talented swordsmith Ganjiang, arrived in the mountains.

Large European style villas, houses, churches and public halls were built for missionaries, businessmen, customs officials and their families.

The foreigners left the mountain top with the rise of the Communist party in 1949, where the villas were handed out to different work units or “danwei’s” from Hangzhou and Shanghai.
