Shishe Village! The most remote and secluded ancient village by the Fuchun River

It takes 1.5 hours to drive from Hangzhou. In Tonglu, I unexpectedly discovered an ancient village for playing in the water and escaping the summer heat! Here, you can find the Maling Ancient Path and Huizhou-style architecture. The entire village is nestled by the mountains and rivers, with fresh air, century-old trees, and verdant forest boardwalks that are a feast for the eyes. The scenery is beautiful all the way. 🌳 Strolling along the ancient path feels like being in a natural forest oxygen bar. When you reach the creek beside the village, it's perfect for playing in the water and catching fish in the summer! 🚶‍♀️ Sharing a treasure route for playing along the Maling Ancient Path, remember to like and save it! 🌟 Route: Shishe Village - Maoping Village - Luci Village The total length is about 12 kilometers, and the hike takes about 4-5 hours. 📍 Location: Shishe Village, Tonglu 🎫 Tickets: Free admission 🚗 Transportation: Drive from Hangzhou and navigate to Shishe Village 🅿️ Parking: Free parking is available next to Shishe Village. 📷 Check-in points: 🌳 Shishe Village 🔅 The village retains Qing Dynasty residential buildings. Stroll along the paths and feel the slow pace of life in the ancient village. 🔅 The entire village road is built along the river. Hiking on the bamboo forest boardwalk is like being in a natural forest oxygen bar. 🔅 There are many small fish in the clear creek water. You can play in the water, fish, and camp, making it suitable for family outings. 🌳 Maoping Village 🔅 Compared to the other two villages, it appears more rustic. The village is not large, and you can feel the village's daily life as you walk along. 🔅 Ancient trees, old bridges, distant mountains, and streams make it the slow-life experience area among the three villages. You can also raft in the shallow water area of the stream. 🔅 Must-visit spots: Hu Clan Ancestral Hall, Wen'an Building, Wuchao Gate. 🌳 Luci Village 🔅 The village mainly consists of restaurants and homestays, with a strong commercial atmosphere. ⚠️ Travel Tips: 🔹 For the return hike, you can choose to take a taxi or bus. There is only one bus per hour between the villages, and the last bus ends at 4 PM, so be sure to manage your time well. 🔹 Remember to do sun protection, bring a power bank, mosquito repellent, etc., for outdoor activities. 🍜 Food Recommendations: 🔸 Mishaipa: A unique intangible cultural heritage noodle dish in Shishe. It is somewhat similar to gnocchi. I recommend the one at No. 85 Shishe Village for the most authentic taste. 🔸 Grey Soup Zongzi: Compared to other zongzi, Grey Soup Zongzi retains the original traditional flavor.
