I rarely use the word "breathtaking" to describe a place!

Here's a Lishui travel guide for your reference: Attraction Recommendations - Xiandu Scenic Area: The "go-to filming location" for over 400 movies and TV dramas, featuring landmarks like Dinghu Peak and Zhutan Mountain. The scene of an old farmer leading cattle across a stone bridge resembles an ink painting. Additionally, the annual Xuanyuan Sacrifice Ceremony during Qingming and Chongyang festivals lets you experience national-level intangible cultural heritage. - Yunhe Rice Terraces: The largest terraced field complex in East China with over 700 layers that change colors with seasons—spring's water mirrors reflect the sky while autumn brings golden waves of rice. Don't miss the ancient "Silver Valley" village and Qixingdun Viewing Platform. - Guyanghuaxiang Scenic Area: A unique combination of the 1,000-year-old Tongji Weir hydraulic project and Dagangtou Ancient Town. Stroll cobblestone streets, explore century-old camphor forests, or cruise the Oujiang River to admire sailing boats, experiencing the slow life of "Jiangnan's Little Lijiang". - Window of She Ethnic Culture: Located in Jingning—China's only She Autonomous County—famous for bamboo rafting and ancient architecture. The She ethnic wedding performances and folk song duets in Dajun Village are particularly distinctive. - Suichang Gold Mine: Combines Tang Dynasty mining caves with modern gold panning experiences. Ride a miner's train deep underground to discover ancient "fire-setting" mining techniques. Food Recommendations - Jinyun Baked Cake: Charcoal-grilled dried vegetable and pork cakes with crispy crusts and chewy centers. The main store in downtown and stalls at Xiandu Scenic Area serve the most authentic versions. - Longquan Celadon Chicken: Free-range chicken slow-cooked in celadon pots, yielding tender meat with earthy fragrance. Recommended at Longquan Piyun Mountain Villa. - Huangmiguo: Golden rice cakes made with ash water, stir-fried with preserved pork and dried bamboo shoots for unique flavor. - Suichang Three-Layer Hotpot: Layered pork knuckle, dried bamboo shoots and tofu simmered in charcoal copper pots. Tanggong Restaurant is a time-honored choice. Accommodation Options - Luxury: Nayun Resort's Cliffside Sky Castle is a flagship avant-garde themed destination; Jinyun Jinjiang International Hotel offers well-equipped family rooms. - Boutique Stays: Lishui Seclusion Huaxiang Courtyard Hotel in scenic Dagangtou Town balances tranquility with convenience; Songyang Yangjiatang Ancient Village homestays combine loess-walled courtyards with avant-garde bookstores, offering autumn harvest activities. Transportation Guide - External: High-speed trains from Shanghai/Hangzhou take ~2 hours to Lishui Station. Renting a car upon arrival is convenient. Self-driving allows more flexible itineraries. - Internal: Downtown has shuttle buses to major attractions, but distances between sites like Yunhe Terraces and Xiandu make self-driving or chartered cars preferable.
