I'm completely captivated by Xiandu! Who can resist this incredible, ethereal atmosphere?

Friends, I recently took a trip to the Xiandu Scenic Area, and it was like embarking on a dreamy, otherworldly adventure. I just have to share it with you! 📍Address: Xiandu Subdistrict, Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province 🚗Transportation: - By car: Highly recommended! The scenery along the way is stunning. You'll see signs for Xiandu Scenic Area right off the highway, and the drive is smooth. There are multiple parking lots within the scenic area with reasonable fees, around CNY 20 per day. - By high-speed rail: Take the train to Jinyun West Railway Station. From there, a taxi to the scenic area takes about 20 minutes and costs around CNY 40-50. You can also take the scenic area's dedicated bus line for CNY 5, but be aware that buses run less frequently, so check the schedule. 🎫Tickets: - A combo ticket costs around CNY 130 and includes admission to the main attractions like Dinghufeng Peak, Zhutan Mountain, Niweng Cave, Little Red Cliff, and Furong Gorge. Individual tickets for each attraction are also available, but if you have plenty of time and want to explore in depth, the combo ticket offers excellent value. - Follow the scenic area's official WeChat account for occasional promotions, such as discounts or even free admission for students and seniors on certain holidays. 🌟Suggested Itinerary: - Morning: Start with Dinghufeng Peak, the iconic landmark of Xiandu Scenic Area. This towering stone pillar stands 170.8 meters tall, with a small lake at its summit that never dries up. When shrouded in mist, it looks like something out of a fairytale, truly deserving of its title, "The First Peak Under Heaven"! The nearby Yellow Emperor Temple is solemn and majestic, offering a glimpse into the rich culture surrounding the legendary figure. - Lunch: Enjoy a meal at one of the local farm-style restaurants near the scenic area. I highly recommend the Jinyun baked flatbread and the local thin noodles. The flatbread has a crispy crust and savory filling, each bite a burst of deliciousness. The thin noodles are as fine as hair, smooth and flavorful in a delicious broth. You can have a satisfying meal for CNY 30-50 per person. - Afternoon: Head to Zhutan Mountain, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Amidst the green hills and clear waters, fishermen often punt bamboo rafts across the surface. As the sun sets, the golden rays shimmer on the water, creating a breathtaking scene that's picture-perfect from any angle. - Evening: Visit Little Red Cliff, where the red Danxia landforms are particularly spectacular under the setting sun. Stroll along the boardwalk by the stream, taking in the beauty of the mountains and waters, and feel as if you've stepped back in time. Xiandu Scenic Area is truly a place to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Whether it's a romantic getaway, a family trip, or a solo adventure, you're sure to have a wonderful experience. My friends, plan your visit now! 💖
