How dog friendly is Moganshan Solvang Village?
We wanted to avoid the busy parts near Moganshan and we found a little gem. Solvang Village Boutique Hotel, located near Moganshan Scenic Area (You can walk up Moganshan from the hotel) is quiet, immersed in nature, and comfortable. Surrounded by bamboo forests, it is ideal for pet owners, as it is the last house on the road, meaning you don’t have to worry about traffic endangering your dog. With some short walks and some long walks starting from the hotel itself, it is great for hiking enthusiasts of differing levels.
Solvang is completely dog friendly and dogs are pretty much able to go anywhere, just ensure that you stay respectful and don’t let the dogs interfere with anybody else or make a mess. The hosts all speak Chinese and English and are great with animals, so just call in advance with any questions or requests.
Our recommendations would be the following. If you are able to, rent a car and drive there yourself. This saves hassle with taxis to and from Huzhou or elsewhere. You can also bring more stuff with you this way.
Upon arrival
Upon arrival or on the first morning, go for one of the short walks to a viewing point close to the hotel. This will give you a nice idea of the area and should allow the dogs to run free. The food in Solvang is great, so order a pizza and a wine when you get back, sitting outside on the terrace upstairs if the weather permits. Then, if feeling adventurous, go for a longer walk when you have a full day, getting to the top of Moganshan and getting some lovely snaps with your doggies.

It is a little pricey, but in my opinion, super worthwhile! Enjoy!
