Nanxi River: A Secret Realm of Natural Beauty, a Spiritual Home for the Literary and Artistic

In the folds of southern Zhejiang, lies a collection of landscape poetry steeped in time. The 300-li Nanxi River winds like a green-blue ink painting, with ancient villages scattered like fragments of Song Dynasty porcelain. This is the spiritual home of urban nomads and the most underrated secret realm of natural beauty in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. 📷【Must-See Attractions】📷 ❶ Shiwei Rock Morning Mist (Tickets: 50 yuan) Arrive at the viewing platform at 6:30 am to watch the morning mist flow around the waist of the 306-meter-high ochre-red giant rock. It is recommended to wear Hanfu or a long cotton and linen dress to capture the artistic conception of "the encounter between mountains and water." ❷ Lishui Ancient Street (Free) A 1.2-kilometer-long Ming and Qing Dynasty corridor hung with bamboo lanterns. In the afternoon, order a cup of hand-brewed coffee at "Xuli·Xiangmo," listen to the rhythm of rain hitting the bluestone slabs under the corridor, and you might encounter art students sketching around the corner. ❸ Longwan Lake Glass Boat (Package Ticket: 98 yuan) Row a transparent boat into the emerald-green waters, with seven waterfalls cascading down the cliffs. The best lighting is after 3 pm, and aerial photography with a drone can capture stunning "person in the painting" shots. ❹ Linkeng Ancient Village (Free) A secluded village with a 700-year history. At dusk, the cooking smoke intertwines with the black tiles, and the malt sugar cart of the old man at the entrance of the village rings. It is suitable for capturing the original texture of the uncommercialized village with a film camera. 🏨【Accommodation Guide】 🏡 Nanxi Huakai (200+ yuan per person) A pure white building complex in the middle of rice paddies, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the misty mountains. Watch the stars fall from the terrace hammock, and walk 10 minutes to reach the shoal for water fun. 🏡 Qingruo Shanfang (350+ yuan per person) A Japanese-style wabi-sabi guesthouse with 12 rooms, each with its own tea room and a bathtub with a view. The butler will take guests to pick bayberries from the back mountain to brew fruit wine. 🍴【Food Guide】 🍜 Yongjia Wheat Cake (5-8 yuan/piece): Preserved mustard greens mixed with three layers of fat and lean meat, crispy and crumbly 🍲 Nanxi Plain Noodles (15 yuan): Hand-dried thin noodles with mushroom and minced meat toppings, and a delicious soup base 🌯 Golden Dumplings (10 yuan/6 pieces): Crystal skin made of sweet potato flour wrapped with dried bamboo shoots and meat filling, perfect with Yongjia rice vinegar 🚌【Transportation Tips】 🚗 Self-driving: 1.5 hours from Wenzhou South Railway Station, it is recommended to choose an SUV (many sharp turns on mountain roads) 🚌 Independent travel: Take the high-speed train to Yongjia Station, and share a car for 30 yuan/person from the station (look for the blue scenic bus) ❌【Things to Avoid】🖊 ⚠️ Bring waterproof shoe covers during the rainy season (May-June), as some shoals are slippery with moss ⚠️ Bargaining skills at ancient village markets: Offer half the price and then let it go for 10 yuan more ⚠️ Be cautious about ordering "Three Ways to Eat River Fish" at Yantou Town food stalls, and prioritize restaurants with clearly marked prices ⚠️ Drive into the scenic area before 9 am on weekends to avoid traffic jams on the mountain roads after 11 am When the anxieties of the city are washed away by the stream into the smoothness of pebbles, you will find that the real Jiangnan is not at the West Lake Broken Bridge crowded with tourists, but at an unknown shoal in Nanxi River, the moment your bare feet step on the sun-warmed stream stones.🌸✨This creation took effort.
