Lin'an boasts lush greenery.

Lin'an District in Hangzhou City, neighboring Zhejiang Province, launched a self-driving campaign in the Yangtze River Delta region on Sunday and unveiled its road trip routes and attractions for self-driving travelers with the clock ticking down to the May Day holiday.

The driving tour campaign will involve 10,000 vehicles from 100 cities in the region and run throughout this year.

Lin'an is a pearl in the delta region for its picturesque natural landscapes and culinary delights. It's home to Tianmu Mountain and the Qingliang Peak scenic area, two national-level natural reserves, as well as Qingshan Lake National Forest Park.

The Taihuyuan (the origin of Taihu Lake) scenic area, Liuxi River scenic area, Mount Daming, and Zhexi Grand Canyon also sit in Lin'an.

Its spring road trip attractions string together Tianmu Mountain village clusters, Lin'an Museum, Qingshan Lake National Forest Park, and Mount Daming Scenic Area.
