Fewer people and more beautiful scenery in Lin'an, Hangzhou! I've secretly kept Zhinnan Village to myself~The Jiangnan version of "Kanas" is stunningly beautiful?

Tired of crowded ancient towns?😫 Come treasure hunting with me in Lin'an, Hangzhou! This thousand-year-old ancient village, Zhinnan Village, hidden deep in the mountains, offers postcard-level scenery with every snap, truly the Jiangnan version of "Kanas"!💯 📍Address: Zhinnan Village, Taihu Source Town, Lin'an District, Hangzhou 🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive, about 1.5 hours from Hangzhou ⏰Best viewing period: Mid to late November (when the ginkgo leaves are golden) 💡Tips: Remember to bring a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test to enter the village~ Honestly, this autumn, I give Zhinnan Village 100 votes as the best check-in spot in Zhejiang🎫!! As the pinnacle of autumn terraced fields in the Yangtze River Delta, the beauty here is definitely beyond what your phone can hold!📸 Standing at an altitude of 600 meters looking down, the golden thousand-year-old ginkgo trees, fiery red maple forests, and lush green bamboo forests intertwine on the terraces, like a color palette spilled by God🎨 Especially when the sunlight shines down, it’s breathtaking! 🚙 Follow me on a fairy tale journey~ Driving up the winding mountain road with 18 hairpin turns, every corner is a surprise! The last sharp turn reveals the village suddenly, and the shock can only be understood by experiencing it yourself😭 The stunning scene of ginkgo trees, horse-head walls, and stone slab roads moved many self-driving friends to tears~ ✨Must-check photo spots: 1️⃣Village entrance thousand-year-old ginkgo × Hui-style architecture: On sunny days, the golden trees against white walls and black tiles make every shot a masterpiece! (That’s the most beautiful ginkgo tree in the picture💛) 2️⃣Viewing platform overlooking the terraced fields: Layers of red, yellow, and green, recommended to arrive before 8 a.m., when the morning mist is like silk for the best photos☁️ 3️⃣Farmhouse rooftop terrace: For 20 yuan, you can have a cup of tea with a front-row autumn view, totally worth it! 🎒Travel tips: • Recommended to stay overnight! The morning mist and evening sunset are both stunning🌄 • The mountain road is narrow, novice drivers please be cautious • Village homestays need to be booked 2 weeks in advance, weekends are fully booked • Dress in earth tones to match the autumn scenery better~👒
