Shaoxing Xinchang｜Please stop being so low-key! (Attached with two-day tour route)

An hour's drive from downtown Shaoxing is Xinchang, a small county town in eastern Zhejiang. Mount Tianmu, where Li Bai described "the sea and the sun are visible on one half of the wall, and the rooster can be heard in the sky". The majestic and steep "Nineteen Peaks" and the ancient Jin Dynasty temple "Big Buddha Temple". There are thousand-year-old towns such as "Xikeng" and "Meizhu", as well as the "snow-covered" and "natural" primitive ancient villages scattered throughout the tea mountain waterfalls. - This is the Tang Poetry Road in East Zhejiang, the birthplace of Yue Opera, and also the place where Wang Xizhi lived in seclusion. If you hadn’t made a special trip here, you wouldn’t have known that Xinchang, known as the “Tang Poetry Road of Eastern Zhejiang”, is such a treasure! . 📜Two-day tour itinerary: Day 1: Big Buddha Temple - Tianmu Mountain - Xikeng Ancient Village - Taxue Jiuli B&B Day 2: Taxue Jiuli B&B - Tea Mountain Hiking - Taxue Waterfall - Tiantai Mountain Guoqing Temple (If time is limited, you can choose to go to the Nineteen Peaks, but we went to Taizhou Guoqing Temple on the way) . 📷About attractions Big Buddha Temple: The filming location of the TV series Chow Sang-yu, and also the location of the largest Buddha in Jiangnan. It has the only early cave statues left in the south and is known as the Dunhuang of Yue State. 🎫Ticket price: 70 yuan - Tianmu Mountain: Tianmu Mountain is half of the entire Tang Dynasty poetry.

With an ancient pagoda from the Sui Dynasty in the rice fields and vegetarian meals costing only 2r, the simple and peaceful Guoqing Temple is worthy of being called the ceiling of temples. 🎫Tickets: Free . 🛋️Accommodation: Texuejiuli 📍Address: No. 44, Chengchuikeng Village, Jingling Town, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province Taxuejiuli is located deep in the mountains of Xinchang and can only be reached by crossing mountains and ridges. Except for the homestay in Taxuejiuli, all other old buildings in Chengchuikeng Village are still inhabited by indigenous people. My first impression of this place is simplicity and naturalness. It seems that the turmoil of the outside world has never disturbed this place. - The B&B is converted from three independent old houses and has only 7 guest rooms with completely different designs. While restoring the old house to its original state, the original rammed earth walls inside and outside are preserved. There is a large amount of solid wood in the room, and there is a skylight balcony with a view of the green mountains. From the moment you move in, you will be infinitely close to nature. - The back hill of the homestay is planted with pre-rain Longjing tea, the tea garden waterfall hangs high down, the small animals and plants full of vitality in the mountains, and the ancient buildings full of traces of time. Even without leaving the village, you can spend a whole day walking around. - When you see the boss decorating the homestay with romantic mountain flowers, the Sichuan boss lady entertaining you with her own homemade kimchi, eating a dinner made with fresh mountain ingredients, listening to the croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas, climbing up the tea mountain to watch the sunset and the moonrise, isn't this the paradise mountain life for old age?
