Depart from Shanghai and explore four ancient villages in Songyang in 24 hours

Songyang, a treasure trove praised by Lonely Planet and National Geographic as the "last secret place in Jiangnan," has become a popular choice for short holidays in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. 📌Pre-trip tips: Songyang's ancient villages are small and exquisite, and can be explored in about an hour. They are hidden in the mountains, with inconvenient public transportation and difficult-to-book taxis. Driving or renting a car is the best choice, as it allows you to control your itinerary. The villages are well-equipped with parking lots, charging stations, and restrooms, all of which are clean and tidy. As for accommodation, there are few homestays in the ancient villages and they are expensive. If you are looking for cost-effective options, you can stay in the county. If you want to experience the ancient charm and tranquility, accommodation in the ancient villages is not to be missed. 🗺Check-in route: Depart at 10 am and head to Chenjiapu Village in Sidu Township. Built on a cliff and surrounded by mountains, it has the most cutting-edge commercial atmosphere among the ancient villages in Songyang. Avant-garde bookstores, Asuka coffee homestays, and other check-in points are great places to relax and enjoy the scenery. In the afternoon, first go to the farthest primitive Songzhuang Village in Sandu Township, which has a history of more than 600 years. The village houses are built along the stream, and the stone arch bridge featured in National Geographic lies quietly in the village, exuding an ancient charm. Then head to Youtian Village, which is more primitive and tranquil than Yangjiatang Village. The yellow mud and black tiles shine brightly among the green mountains and tea fields. The ancient pine trees at the entrance of the village, the ancestral hall, the village temple, and the Wuxin Academy all exude a leisurely atmosphere. Finally, arrive at Yangjiatang Village, where the couple tree at the entrance of the village is very popular. The coffee shop is an excellent place to take photos of the "Golden Potala Palace." At sunset, the terraced ancient village is dyed golden by the afterglow, as beautiful as a painting. After the tour, head straight to Lishui High-speed Railway Station from Yangjiatang Village. Songyang's ancient villages hide the last poetic charm of Jiangnan, waiting for you to explore in 24 hours.
