Discover the Stunning Hidden Gem of Zhejiang: Complete Guide to Jinyun Dinghu Peak 5A Scenic Area

Hey fam! I randomly came across photos of Jinyun Dinghu Peak and was instantly captivated! 😍 This lesser-known 5A scenic spot tucked away in Lishui, Zhejiang, had been overlooked by me all this time, but I finally found it! Here’s a super detailed guide for you 👇 📍Location: Xiandu Scenic Area, Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province 🕒 Opening Hours: 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Summer) / 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (Winter) 🎫 Ticket Price: 95 RMB/person (Xiandu Scenic Area combined ticket) 🏞️【Must-Visit Attractions】 ✨ Dinghu Peak: Known as the "Number One Peak Under Heaven," soaring 170.8 meters high! It looks like a giant stone stalagmite piercing the clouds 💫 Legend says the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan once practiced alchemy here, and the mysterious "Dinghu" lake at the summit never dries up. ✨ Yellow Emperor Temple: Along with the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum in Shaanxi, it’s called the "Northern Mausoleum, Southern Temple," full of rich historical and cultural atmosphere, perfect for photos! 📸 🚗【How to Get There】 ✈️ By Plane: Fly to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport, then transfer by high-speed train or bus to Jinyun—super convenient~ 🚄 By High-Speed Train: Arrive at Jinyun West Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride to the scenic area! If you don’t want to take a taxi, there’s a direct shuttle bus to the park with very affordable fares. 🚗 By Car: Navigate to "Xiandu Dinghu Peak Scenic Area." Parking is only 10 RMB per day, really budget-friendly! 🍜【Foodie Must-Try】 ✔️ Jinyun Shaobing (6-8 RMB): Preserved mustard greens and pork, crispy outside and flavorful inside, delicious from any street vendor! ✔️ Meat Soup (15 RMB): Smooth meat soup with scallions, perfect for warming your stomach and heart in winter~ ✔️ Braised Creek Fish (around 40 RMB): Fresh and tender with no fishy smell, I can eat two bowls of rice with it! 🍚 📅【1-Day Tour Itinerary Recommendation】 🌞 Morning: 10:00 Buy tickets at the Visitor Center 10:30 Visit Dinghu Peak and Yangzhi Pavilion 12:00 Tour the Yellow Emperor Temple 🌇 Afternoon: 13:00 Take the cable car up to Buxu Mountain (one-way 25 RMB / round-trip 40 RMB) 14:30 Photo stop at Tongzi Peak 16:00 Enjoy authentic Jinyun cuisine ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 1⃣️ Be sure to buy tickets at the "Xiandu Scenic Area Visitor Center"! Don’t enter through the wrong gate. 2⃣️ The lake surface is calmest in the morning, perfect for reflection shots ⏰ Don’t forget your telephoto lens. 3⃣️ It’s better to buy a one-way cable car ticket for a better experience~ 4⃣️ Ask about photo fees in advance! Every snap here is a masterpiece 🤳 Just go for it, guys! You won’t regret it 💯
