This is the underrated hidden gem of ancient towns in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region

Unexpectedly, in Jinyun, there is a thousand-year-old village bound by clan kinship, where families live together, known as the 'living fossil of ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River'. In Jinyun, the elderly often recite an old saying: 'Having a daughter marry into Heyang is better than becoming an empress'. This place is the Heyang ancient residence. The Heyang ancient residence was built at the end of the Five Dynasties, with a history of over a thousand years. 94% of the villagers in Heyang share the surname Zhu, and they still live together as a clan, passing on the tradition of farming and scholarship. There are ten major clan-style ancient residential complexes and fifteen ancient ancestral halls, the Song dynasty ancient temple 'Fuchang Temple' that embodies the unity of three teachings, the 'Eight Scholars Gate' from the Yuan dynasty, and the stone 'Xihan' bestowed by the founder of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in front of the 'Eight Scholars Gate'. Ancient bridges, agricultural tools, furniture, murals, poetry, plaques, carvings, and the unique Heyang paper-cut window decorations of Chinese folk art, along with quaint folk activities, make up this rare thousand-year-old cultural ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also ten ancient ancestral halls, five ancient temples, and over 1500 old mansions. Walking into it is like traveling through a thousand-year-long scroll of history. The layout of one street and five alleys, one stream and two pits, still retains the design features of the Yuan dynasty. The horse-head walls are towering and imposing, with ancient murals and poetry everywhere under the eaves, and the interior features carved beams and painted rafters, spacious and bright. The most famous building in Heyang is the 'Eight Scholars Gate'. It is said that the Zhu family's ancestors passed down the tradition of farming and scholarship, valued agriculture and commerce, and produced many talents, becoming the wealthiest in the region. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, eight scholars emerged, forming the 'Yiyang Poetry School'. The 'Eight Scholars Gate' was built in honor of this achievement. In front of the gate, there is a pair of headless stone lions, gifts from Zhu Yuanzhang, named 'Xihan', signifying the rarity of a single village producing eight scholars. It is said that in Heyang, any important matter must pass through the 'Eight Scholars Gate', a custom that continues to this day. I highly recommend visiting Heyang. When we went, there were almost no tourists, just locals coming and going. It's perfect for friends who like to immerse themselves in the life of an ancient village.

Visit Lishui, Zhejiang, and the Fairyland of Xianju

There are so many fairyland-like places in Zhejiang. This time, I went to Lishui and visited Xianju Scenic Area. Xianju Scenic Area consists of five major attractions: Dinghu Peak, Xiaochibi, Xiandu Temple, Niweng Cave, and Zhutan Mountain. It is named after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, who exclaimed, "This is truly a city of immortals" and wrote the words "Xianju" with great interest. 🟢The biggest attraction of the scenic area is the single stone pillar "the first bamboo shoot in the world" Dinghu Peak, which is more than 160 meters high. It is the filming location of many costume dramas. 🟢There is Guoliang Cliff Road in the north, and there is also a "Xiaochibi" like Guoliang Cliff Road in Xianju. Along the cliffs of the mountainside, there is a natural stone corridor that is 60 to 70 meters long. In many places, only one person can pass through sideways. 🟢Movies and TV dramas such as "Monk Comes Down the Mountain", "Flying Daggers", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were filmed in Xiandu Temple in the scenic area. 🟢There are more than 60 cliff inscriptions left in Niweng Cave from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, Republic of China, and modern times. It is the place with the most cliff inscriptions in Xianju Scenic Area. 🟢Zhutan Mountain is named after the famous Neo-Confucianist Zhu Xi, who once lectured in Xianju and took a boat to rest here. 🟢The "first temple in the world" Huangdi Temple, the center of Huangdi worship in southern China, and the national intangible cultural heritage "Jinyun Xuanyuan Sacrifice Ceremony". 🏨There are many homestays in Xianju Scenic Area. The homestay I stayed in this time is located near Dinghu Peak. The homestay is very new, the room is clean and bright, and the owner prepared a Jinyun pancake and a bowl of local noodles for me for breakfast, which tasted like home. The owner's wife lent me her electric bike so that I could ride it around the scenic area, which made the tour much more efficient. 🥢The biggest specialty of Jinyun is pancakes. The dried plum and minced meat are perfectly integrated, and the pancakes are chewy and more fragrant as you eat them. They are 8 yuan each in the scenic area and 5-6 yuan each outside the scenic area. When I checked out this time, the owner's wife gave me two bags of small pancakes, which were also filled with dried plum vegetables and tasted very good. 📍Address: Xiandu Street, Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province 🏨Accommodation: Jinyun Guishan Youshe Homestay 🎫Tickets: Only Dinghu Peak in the scenic area requires a ticket, and other attractions are free.

You can rent a small electric bike or borrow one from the homestay owner to avoid the cost of a shuttle bus.

Night in the Ancient Village

In Heyang, Jinyun, the ancient village is quiet during the day and even quieter at night. The moonlight is like water, and the big carp in the pond in the center of the village occasionally makes a splash. It feels like a carp fairy is about to appear, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. I stayed in the ancient village for two nights, watching the sunrise and sunset, strolling through the farmland, ancestral halls, and mansions. I like this simple life. Transportation is convenient. Take the high-speed train to Jinyun West Station and take a taxi to Heyang. Tickets: CNY 40

The Realm of Mist and Clouds: A Journey through Xian Du in Jinyun

In the early morning, Xian Du in Jinyun is shrouded in mist, creating a picturesque scene. As you enter the scenic area, the towering Dinghu Peak greets you, reaching up to the clouds like an immortal holding a cauldron, exuding an extraordinary aura. The morning light gently sprinkles, revealing a subtle warmth on the mountain rocks, as if every inch of texture tells a thousand-year-old legend. Ascending the winding stone steps, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the babbling of streams, a sense of tranquility fills your heart. At Zhutan Mountain, the lake is as clear as jade, reflecting the green mountains and white clouds. As boats glide across, gentle ripples stir the heart. Looking around, this landscape resembles an ancient Chinese painting, blending the spirit of heaven and earth. A trip to Xian Du in Jinyun is not only an intimate dialogue with nature but also a retreat for the soul. Every mist and cloud, every whisper of the stream here seems to softly call out to people: let go of the hustle and bustle, return to your original self, and merge with the universe.

Jinyun Heyang Ancient Dwellings.

Visit the most low-key ancient village, Heyang Ancient Dwellings, with a history of more than 800 years. Many scholars, literati, and poets have come from here. Horsehead walls, Huizhou-style architecture, ancestral halls, and deep courtyards. There are not many people during the holidays. I found a homestay and stayed for two days. I wandered around the village during the day and went to bed early at night. It felt like a retreat. Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Jinyun West Station, then take a taxi for about 10 km. Tickets: CNY 40 at the entrance of the village. The ticket office is closed at night, so no tickets are required. Food: There is almost no commerce in the village. There is a small shop selling Jinyun pancakes, which are average. I heard from the villagers that you can order takeout.
