[Xiandu Scenic Area] A breathtaking paradise-like destination!

🌟Preparation - Documents: Bring your ID card and any discount cards such as student ID or senior citizen card if applicable. - Clothing: Pack weather-appropriate clothing. For summer, bring light and breathable clothes, along with sun protection gear like UV protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. For spring and fall, pack long-sleeve jackets. For winter, bring thick cotton clothes, scarves, and gloves. - Other items: Prepare comfortable sneakers or hiking boots, power bank, camera, and umbrella or raincoat. 🚗Transportation Guide - Getting there: Take high-speed rail to Jinyun West Station, then take a 15-20 minute taxi ride to the scenic area. If driving, navigate to Xiandu Scenic Area Visitor Center (West Entrance) and park in the parking lot before taking the shuttle bus. - Internal transportation: Shuttle buses run between attractions within the scenic area for convenient transfers. ☑️Attractions - Dinghu Peak: Known as "The First Peak Under Heaven" and "The First Bamboo Shoot Under Heaven." The Emperor Huang Temple and the small bridge from the drama are located here. During non-holidays, you can drive up. - Zhutan Mountain: Famous for the "Old Man Leading an Ox" photo spot. On rainy days, the mountain is shrouded in mist, creating a dreamlike scene perfect for photos. The Old Man Leading an Ox performance is available on weekends. - Niweng Cave: Features the Dufeng Academy where Song Dynasty Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi taught. The late Qing Dynasty architectural style building houses famous flowers and trees, along with exhibitions about Xiandu's natural scenery and cultural history. - Little Red Cliff: Features steep cliffs by the stream that glow red in the sunset. The steps here are narrow and steep, so be careful when visiting. - Yandang Study: Converted from an abandoned quarry, it's known as "Zhejiang's Little Dunhuang." On sunny days, sunlight streaming through the rock crevices creates the Tyndall effect, making it ideal for afternoon photography. 🏭Accommodation Options - Luxury: Jinyun Jinjiang International Hotel, Jinyun Baoting Hotel, Jinyun Chenshun Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel, etc., offering complete facilities and excellent service. - Resort farmhouse: Jinyun Jinyun Lishe Luxury Stay, featuring American country style, located at the Little Red Cliff entrance in Xiayang Village. - Budget: Xiandu Changxin Guesthouse and others, offering affordable prices, convenient locations, and local experience. 😍Food Recommendations - Jinyun Pancake: Local specialty made with flour, pork, and preserved vegetables, baked until golden and crispy with an enticing aroma. - Tu Shuang Noodles: Smooth and chewy noodles that can be served boiled or stir-fried, with delicious flavor. - Qiao Rou Geng: A hearty local specialty soup made with thinly pounded pork slices and starch. ☑️Recommended Itineraries - One-day tour: Visit Zhutan Mountain in the morning to watch the Old Man Leading an Ox performance and enjoy misty views, then head to Dinghu Peak to visit Emperor Huang Temple. In the afternoon, explore Niweng Cave for its cultural atmosphere, and finish at Little Red Cliff to enjoy sunset views. - Two-day tour: First day morning at Zhutan Mountain and Dinghu Peak, afternoon at Yandang Study for photos, evening trying local food and resting near the scenic area. Second day exploring Niweng Cave, Little Red Cliff, and other spots like Furong Gorge to fully experience Xiandu's charm.
