Lin Keng, an ancient village more beautiful than Wuyuan, is a must-see after dark

At the end of December, I came to Lin Keng Ancient Village in Yongjia, Wenzhou, to make up for the regret of not being able to see the sun-cured autumn in Wuyuan this year. It was also my first visit to Lin Keng Ancient Village. Although the sun-curing season here is not as long as in Wuyuan, nor as spectacular, the ancient village in southern Zhejiang paired with the bountiful autumn harvest was a pleasant surprise. In the evening, smoke from cooking fires curled up, red lanterns 🏮 lit up one by one, surrounded by bamboo forests, it felt like a paradise. . 🌟 Lin Keng Ancient Village was established during the Ming Dynasty as a settlement for the Mao family clan and has a history of over 700 years. The architecture 🏠 has a typical southern Zhejiang mountainous residential style, so even without the sun-cured autumn, the entire village is still very suitable for leisurely strolls and photography 📷. There are accommodations and dining options in the village, and we had a sun-cured autumn feast at Amu's Private Kitchen which was quite good 👍. . 🌟 Recommended photo spots 📷 1⃣️ After entering, don't gather at the entrance, as it's crowded. After crossing the bridge, there's a sun-curing platform and a viewing platform above, where you can take overhead shots without needing a drone. 2⃣️ Find the bridge opposite Amu's Private Kitchen, the night view here is very beautiful for photography. . 🏠 Lin Keng Ancient Village 📍 Lin Keng Ancient Village, Huangnan Township, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City Sun-curing season: 11.15-12.30 🎫 10 yuan for the sun-curing period, free otherwise, 🅿️ 10 yuan per vehicle. . ⚠️ tips 1⃣️ The ancient village is very ecological, with most of the renovated restaurants and guesthouses run by locals. 2⃣️ The ancient village 🈶️ has a coffee shop, and there are many shops selling local agricultural products, the snack Jin Fen dumplings 🥟 are quite good. 3⃣️ Amu's Private Kitchen in the village 🈶️ offers a sun-cured autumn feast, which tastes quite good 👍. 4⃣️ The village is not big, 1-2 hours is enough for a visit ➕ photography.
