Fenghua Xikou's Yanxi Creek, a serene picture reminiscent of a paradise on earth

Xikou, known as the 'Number One Town of the Republic of China', attracts numerous tourists with its multifaceted experiences of 'leaning on the railings to view Yanxi Creek, ascending to the snowy Doudou, worshipping Maitreya Buddha, and wandering through the town of the Republic of China'. Yanxi Creek, which flows from west to east through the entire town, is one of Xikou's most eye-catching sights. The ancient charm of the banks, towering plane trees, and reeds lining the path, with aquatic plants spread out like a green carpet on the creek bed, are simply enchanting. In the winter rain, the rising mist from Yanxi Creek resembles wisps of cooking smoke, adding to the ancient town a serene picture reminiscent of a paradise on earth. Yanxi Creek is the upper stream of the Fenghua River, originating from the Siming Mountains, flowing through Xikou Town, and after joining with the Dongjiang River at Jiangkou Town, it is then called the Fenghua River, eventually flowing into the Yong River in Ningbo's urban area, and into the East China Sea. Throughout history, Yanxi Creek has been captured in the poetry and paintings of many literati. For example, Li Bai's 'The lake moon shines on my shadow, sending me to Yanxi Creek', and Du Fu's 'Yanxi Creek harbors unique beauty, unforgettable even when one wishes to forget'. 📍Detailed address: Xikou Town, Fenghua City, Zhejiang Province
