🏞 If you’re going to Nanxi River, promise me, please don’t miss Lishui Street! The unique architecture and tranquil Jiangnan water town charm of Lishui Ancient Street have made it a must-visit spot in the Nanxi River tourist area. As the saying goes, "If you don’t visit Yantou Lishui Street, it doesn’t count as coming to Nanxi River!" 💙 This Lishui Ancient Street is not in Lishui city, but located in Yantou Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is an important historical and cultural site within the Nanxi River Scenic Area. Lishui Ancient Street was first built during the Ming Dynasty’s Jiajing period (around 1556), originally serving as a water retention embankment. Local clans stipulated that only flowers, trees, and pavilions could be planted or built on the embankment. During the Qing Dynasty, the long embankment became a must-pass route for salt merchants and gradually developed into a commercial street, reaching its scale by the late Qing period. After years of time, it has accumulated a unique historical charm. 🏚 The ancient street is over 300 meters long, with more than 90 shops lined up in sequence. Most buildings are two stories, forming a long corridor structure with extended eaves to provide shade and shelter from rain for pedestrians. Red lanterns hang under the corridor, creating a charming contrast with the ancient trees and green shade; blue tiles, white walls, and carved wooden windows fully display the graceful beauty of the Jiangnan water town. 🎑 Walking on the cobblestone-paved ancient street, smelling the aroma of baked sesame cakes from the shops, and hearing the singing from a distant opera stage, it feels like stepping into the scene of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painting... 📝 Travel Tips 📍 Navigation: Lishui Street, Yantou Ancient Village, Yantou Town, Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving | Take a taxi from Nanxi River High-Speed Rail Station 🚄 🎫 Tickets: 15 RMB, discounts for seniors and children, online discounts available, free after 5 PM (for night views), and free before opening in the early morning 🤫 ⏰ Hours: Open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, it is recommended to spend 2 - 4 hours exploring Lishui Ancient Street. You can slowly appreciate the architecture, scenery, and feel the historical charm. 🍲 Food: The ancient street offers special Yongjia wheat cakes, and some shops specialize in freshly made ginger powder, ginger candy, and wild kumquat dried fruit; also, stir-fried beef, tofu skin, and Wenzhou seafood are very delicious 😋 The peaceful Lishui Ancient Street now mostly has elderly residents. In the early morning, walking into the street, you will see elderly people working, chatting, and walking dogs... It seems that fewer and fewer young people are staying in such small villages.

|Linkeng Village: a rough gem in the deep mountains of southern Zhejiang. In the northern part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, there is a 700-year-old village at the source of the Nanxi River. It is famous for its "ancient village, lush bamboos, clear water, many waterfalls and deep valleys" and is known as the "unpolished jade buried in the mountains." Today, this piece of uncut jade has gradually become an internet celebrity because of its autumn drying and has become the "leader" of many ancient villages in the Nanxi River Basin. He is the famous Linkeng Village. 【history】 It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It is the settlement of the Maoxing clan. It is said that their ancestors left their hometown and migrated from Ji'an, Jiangxi to avoid the war, and it has been 45 generations so far. 【geography】 Because it was located in a remote area in ancient times, with lush bamboo and trees, surrounded by mountains on three sides, many streams and deep valleys, and poor transportation, it was called "Linkeng". 【Residential Features】 Linkeng Village is a typical southern Zhejiang mountain dwelling style, with undulating mountains and continuous layers. The village is one of the best-preserved mountain dwellings in Nanxi River. It is simple and authentic, with a wild and natural charm, and it complements the beautiful trees and green mountains around it. 【Autumn Sunshine】 From mid-November to mid-December, the autumn harvest festival is held. The village, the eaves, the arch bridges, and even the streams are filled with agricultural products and local specialties, such as persimmons, peppers, bacon, dried stream fish, dried sweet potatoes, vegetarian noodles, local eggs, soybeans, etc., forming a colorful picture of a bumper harvest. In addition to the ancient dwellings, the natural scenery includes Dadu Rock, Moonlight Cave, Sandie Rock, Shuangzhu Peak, and Sanzhe Waterfall. Camera positions: Chenxiang Covered Bridge, Yong'an Stone Bridge, Yongji Covered Bridge, the best one is Yongping Bridge.

Deep in the mountains of Yongjia, Wenzhou, there is the largest terraced field in Jiangnan - Mingao Terraced Fields. In spring and autumn, the ground is covered with gold, golden and brilliant In May, during the Grain in Ear season, the sky and clouds are reflected in the mirror of the terraced fields. What would it feel like to live in such a wonderland and photography mecca? I think Jinli Yunshe will give a satisfactory answer. With an altitude of nearly 800 meters, it is the best viewing point for Mingao Terraces, and the location of the B&B is definitely the center of attention. The owner of the B&B is an avid photography enthusiast and has taken countless blockbuster photos of Mingao. He jokingly said, "I opened a B&B because I wanted to take photos here." It turns out that poetry and distant places, reality and ideals are not contradictory or out of reach. ⭐Style The exterior of the homestay is European-style, while the interior has an elegant Chinese aesthetic, with natural wood tones, a simple and heavy feel, and the fragrance of books and tea lingering around, with a new scene at every step. ⭐Rooms The rooms are named after solar terms and all face the terraced fields and the direction of sunrise.

"I say that my superior is like Lingyun, and can make the country like Yongjia" In late autumn and early winter, we came to Yongjia, Wenzhou, and to the Nanxi River Basin. This is the birthplace of Chinese landscape poetry, a secret place that Xie Lingyun, Li Bai and Su Shi all adored. For such a slow-paced and healing place, you should stay at the Jinli Xishi B&B to experience the leisurely and comfortable time spent in the mountains. ⭐Location The B&B is located at the source of the Nanxi River - the northernmost part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, and very close to Linkeng Village which was recently hit by a fire. The altitude of more than 600 meters gives the B&B a sense of isolation from the world. You can avoid the heat in summer and sunbathe in autumn and winter. ⭐Decoration The exterior of the B&B is in a simple Nordic style, while the interior is a fusion of French/Moroccan styles, full of exotic and warm atmosphere. ⭐Rooms The B&B has 13 guest rooms, including the [Gardenia View Deluxe King Room], a 70㎡ suite with a romantic French style.

Small towns in China are just love. So authentic and unique. If do not pay attention to people eagerly asking you to visit their places like restaurants, shops ant etc. local people are quite kind and helpful. This town is definitely worth visiting once you’re in Hunan. We were also lucky enough to find a place to eat (you can find the name among the photos or just search in apple maps) Tuwang Yuchuxiang restaurant. The staff was very attentive, we asked not to add to our dish with duck and fish any blood cakes or other offal stuff. They also recommend us quite good local tujia rice vinegar (tastes like korean makkoli/makgeolli). The dishes were so good. We also found a place with jade accessories with a nice girl working their (pls., find the photo of shop tablet) and a place called Cuitea (cuicha) with the best coffee so far in China (I ordered osmanthus latte and my friend had sth like coffee with mandarine juice). Will be glad if I help somebody to have more pleasant time in Furong. Enjoy❤️

The recommended route is "boat in, walk out": take the boat from the entrance dock, pass through Taogong Cave and Xiantao Cave, then get off and explore the mountain scenery on foot without backtracking. - Taogong Cave: The cave entrance only allows one boat at a time, with towering cliffs inside. Light filters through the stone cracks, creating a "looking at the sky from a well" atmosphere. - Xiantao Cave: The natural skylight on the cave ceiling forms a "peach" shape, which, combined with its reflection on the water, creates a complete immortal peach.

Nearby attractions include Nanxi River, Yandang Mountain, Longwantan, Shiwaiyan, Lingshangrenjia, and Donglu Xilu to see persimmon trees, as well as many new popular check-in spots.

Every autumn, WeChat Moments is flooded with photos of persimmons. This year, I finally photographed vast persimmon trees in Donglu Village, Yongjia, Wenzhou. The hills are covered with persimmons hanging from the branches, creating an incredibly festive scene. Tested tips, quickly save this!✨ 🍁 Best time to shoot: Season: November Time: Autumn and winter get dark quickly, so before 4:30 PM is best. Half an hour before sunset, the sunlight is a gentle golden side backlight that makes the persimmons and your hair sparkle crystal clear, instantly enhancing the atmosphere! 👗 Outfit suggestions: Light colors are forever the best! Highly recommend white, beige, or oatmeal sweaters, dresses, or coats. Against the reddish-brown background, you become the purest focus. Vintage style: Coffee and brown plaid skirts or corduroy pants easily create a retro artistic vibe. 📸 Must-shoot spots & pose guide: 1. Big scene under the persimmon tree: Stand under the ancient persimmon tree with yourself smaller in the frame to highlight the grandeur of the environment and the abundance of persimmons. You can look up at the persimmons or show your back; both tell a story. 2. Use ladders/mountain paths: The ladders villagers use to pick persimmons are perfect props! Pretend to climb up or lean against the ladder naturally and vividly. Walking on the village’s stone paths, do a glance-back candid shot for a dynamic feel. 3. Close-up holding persimmons: You can buy a few freshly picked persimmons from villagers, hold them in your hands, put them in your hat, or pretend to eat one for a sweet close-up. 💡 Thoughtful tips: The village is on a mountain with winding roads, so drivers please be careful and drive slowly. Remember to wear comfortable shoes; high heels are a "killer" in the fields. Protect the environment and do not pick persimmons casually. Villagers work hard to grow them, so please buy if you need some.

Huijian Island, a name that carries a poetic sense of farewell and reunion. It lies quietly by the East China Sea, not bustling like popular islands, but possessing its own charm. If you want to find a peaceful place to escape the mundane, this is the perfect spot. How to plan your trip? To reach the island, take a boat from the Oujiangkou pier. The journey takes about an hour, with sea breeze on your face and seagulls accompanying you—a perfect prelude to your trip. If you want to stay overnight, there are a few simple guesthouses on the island with sea views right outside the window; you can also make a day trip, but experiencing the island’s dawn and dusk makes the visit complete. What to do on the island? The top recommendation is to walk around the island. The island is small, and walking is the best way to explore. Along the winding coastal path, one side is vast blue waves dotted with fishing boats; the other side is lush acacia forests and spectacular rocky formations. No need to search for specific attractions—every step is a scenic view. The unnamed bays and rocks shaped by time into strange forms make excellent photo backdrops. Watching the sunrise over the sea is a must. Early in the morning, find a high spot on the island’s east end and watch the horizon change from dark blue to orange-red as the red sun rises from the sea, casting golden light across the horizon, bringing a rare sense of peace. If you visit during fishing season, consider joining the fishermen for sea fishing or watch them haul in their nets. Their strong Minnan accent and sun-kissed skin tell stories of life intertwined with the sea. Food and tips The island’s delicious food naturally comes from the sea. Visit small fishermen’s family-run restaurants to taste authentic scallion oil sea hare, clear soup fish balls, or simply steamed fresh seafood—the freshness will soothe your soul. Before leaving the island, don’t forget to write your wishes in the sand or pick up a shell. The tide will wash away the words but leave the memories behind. Practical tips: · Supplies on the island are limited, so bring sunscreen and essentials. · Protect the environment by taking your trash with you. · The trip depends on the weather; please check boat schedules before departure. Huijian Island is a place that makes you want to say “goodbye” but look forward to “seeing you again.” Its beauty is understated but deeply touching.
