Each ancient village has its own unique mark, just like a 'paradise'. *The Cangpo ancient village, which is backed by the Bijia Mountain and faces the Nanxi River, is a complete set of 'four treasures of the study': the straight long alley that runs through the whole village, is the pen; the lotus pond on both sides of the stone path, is the inkstone; the three stones by the pond, are the ink; the square village, with white pebble ground, is the paper. This ingenious layout of the book scroll exudes a strong culture of farming and reading. *The village walls, ancient roads, old houses, ancient stages... Everywhere in the village exudes a strong ancient charm. As the iconic building of Cangpo Village, the Cangpo Creek Gate, which the villagers are proud of, not only proves the flourishing literary style and educational achievements of Cangpo Village, but also a precious architectural treasure. *Walking in the village, several ancient houses that have been renovated after years of weathering have become a place for tourists to rest. Beyond the ancient charm, it is the warmth of holding a cup of coffee, and the comfort of quietly reading a good book *The Cangpo Creek Gate proves the flourishing literary style and educational achievements of Cangpo Village, and is also a precious architectural treasure. *The Li Clan Ancestral Hall, Wang Xiong Pavilion, Renji Temple and other iconic buildings also reveal the ancient charm and still show their elegance today. *Architecture + rice fields, preserving every brick and tile of the original building, gives the ancient village a new glow and vitality. 【Attraction】Nanxi River Cangpo Ancient Village 【Address】Nanxi River Scenic Area, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province

This is not an ordinary attraction, but a living landscape painting～ 🌿 I just came back from here, and my soul feels completely purified. The water of Nanxi River is truly amazing, crystal clear and known as "the best water under heaven"! Drifting downstream on a bamboo raft, with towering green mountains on both sides and lush forested banks, the boatman gently pushing the bamboo pole, at that moment it feels like you are not drifting but wandering in a beautiful Tang dynasty poem! 📸 Highly recommend these magical check-in spots: ✨ Lion Rock ✨ Dragon Waterfall Fairy Cave ✨ Shiwei Rock Scenic Area ✨ Cangpo Ancient Village 💡 Travel tips: 1. Best seasons: Spring and Autumn 2. Must-have gear: Camera, sunscreen, flat shoes 3. Must-eat foods: Yongjia wheat cake, Nanxi River bass 🍁 What amazed me the most were the red persimmons hanging from the treetops along the villages!

Who understands! Yongjia is truly the deepest hidden heavenly secret realm in Jiangnan ✨ Staying in city cubicles for too long really makes me emo 😭 My mind is full of images of wisps of cooking smoke and gurgling streams. I originally thought Songyang was already amazing enough, until I drove deep into the mountains of Wenzhou's Yongjia, and then I discovered this is what Jiangnan should truly look like! There's absolutely no annoying feeling of over-commercialization. As far as the eye can see, there are blue tiles, wooden eaves, and gurgling water 🌊. The moment I was woken up by the birdsong in the mountains in the early morning, I instantly understood the relaxation of "Plucking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, leisurely I see the Southern Mountain." That healing feeling is more effective than drinking ten cups of milk tea! Let me tell you about my treasure check-in spots 👇 Linkeng Ancient Village is truly, truly, truly amazing! A secluded village embraced tightly by the Nanxi River. 108 Ming and Qing Dynasty wooden houses are lined up along the stream. Villagers still live in 200-year-old houses to this day. The stone bridge at the village entrance, the lush century-old camphor trees, the leisurely flock of ducks in the stream, and the cooking smoke mixed with the scent of burning wood drifting into the alleys— it instantly takes me back to summer at my grandma's house in childhood 🌞. At Cangpo Ancient Village, you can unlock Song Dynasty romance for just 10 yuan! Touch the thousand-year-old village walls and see the Bagua water channels winding around the ancient academy. The ancient bridge at the entrance is so beautiful it leaves you speechless. It completely has the charm of a mini Hongcun, and it's great for photos 📸. Lishui Ancient Street is relatively more commercialized. There are small shops all along the stream, and it's super atmospheric to stroll and eat there at night. Go for the grilled sausages, Wenzhou fish cakes, and brown sugar mochi without hesitation. Eating while watching the gurgling stream, the feeling of happiness is overflowing~ Furong Ancient Village is right next to Lishui Ancient Street. Sit in Furong Pavilion to enjoy the cool breeze, watching the villagers come and go and the slow passage of time. It vaguely feels like this is the last secret realm of Jiangnan 🌿. I originally went to Taogong Cave for the koi fish, but I was amazed by the cave itself! The stalactites are incredibly textured, and the koi are super plump. When feeding them, a swarm of fish rushes over, super therapeutic~ I've put together some practical tips for you all! There are really a lot of mountain roads here, and villages might be separated by a mountain. Be sure to drive slowly and pay attention to safety 🚗. When driving along the Nanxi River, you'll encounter many great riverside camping spots. No need to specifically look for them; just stop if you see one you like on the roadside. Set up a tent and have some tea—it's absolutely wonderful! A special shout-out to how EV-friendly it is 💯! Almost every village has charging stations, and electricity fees are super cheap, so no range anxiety at all~ Who understands! The beauty of Yongjia really needs to be experienced firsthand to know. Escape the fatigue of the city and be completely healed here. Do you have any hidden ancient villages in Jiangnan, my dears? Or which village in Yongjia do you most want to visit? Let's chat in the comments~ 👇

Cangpo Ancient Village is located in Yantou Town, Yongjia County. It was first built in the second year of Xiande in the Later Zhou of the Five Dynasties period (955 AD) and served as the settlement of the Li clan.

Together with the surrounding green mountains, gurgling streams, quaint small bridges, and wisps of cooking smoke, they form a quiet and beautiful landscape painting. The last two pictures are of Cangpo Ancient Village, which is located 35 kilometers south of Linkeng Ancient Village. It can be reached by car in 40 minutes. The village is not big and parking is free. The village requires an entrance fee of 10 yuan per person. The village is also very beautiful, but I personally feel The scenery is slightly inferior to Linkeng Ancient Village. If you have enough time, you can visit the two villages together.

The Nanxi River is very large, with many scenic spots, about over 800 in total. There are many ancient villages, and it would take about 2-3 days to visit them all. If you have ample time, you can stay at Nanxi River to fully immerse yourself in the slow life. The village is situated on the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The houses are made of wood and built along the hillside. Every household has bamboo shoots drying at their door. A small stream runs through the village, making it a great spot for photography. Near the parking lot, there is a small alley you can walk into for free, but it's not easy to find. We only discovered it when we were leaving. Cangpo Village was established in the second year of the Xiande era of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties (955 AD) and has been a settlement for the Li family. The current Cangpo Village was rebuilt in the fifth year of Chunxi during the Southern Song Dynasty (1189 AD) by inviting the national teacher Li Shirri to arrange it according to the Feng Shui theory of the Five Elements and the layout of the 'Four Treasures of the Study.' It has a history of 840 years now. Inside, there are some ancient buildings, such as Renji Temple (Kunqu Opera House), Li Family Ancestral Hall, Xi Learning Temple, Huifeng Pavilion, Official Residence, and Pen Street. There is a path next to the toilet at the entrance parking lot that allows direct access for free. To the left of the entrance, there is a stone bridge that leads to the village, and to the right, there is an ancient street from the Qing Dynasty with a 300-meter-long river corridor hung with big red lanterns. On one side, there are cafes and restaurants, and on the other, across the river, you can see ancient bridges and trees. You can order a cup of coffee and sit on the corridor to enjoy the view. This place is even more famous for its night scene when the red lanterns are lit, creating a beautiful atmosphere.

The ancient village of Cangpo nestles against the Bijia Mountain and faces the Nanxi River. The village was designed by the national teacher Li Shi during the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of a thousand years. The architecture of the village is a condensation of ancient Chinese culture. Its architectural concept originates from the 'Four Treasures of the Study', and despite the vicissitudes of a thousand years, it still retains its basic planning layout and architectural style, interpreting the agrarian culture of 'farming and reading passing on through generations'.

Cangpo Ancient Village is located in Yantou Town, upstream of the Nanxi River in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, backed by Bijia Mountain and facing the Nanxi River. In a sense, Cangpo is the most culturally rich ancient village because its design concept originates from the 'Four Treasures of the Study'. The long alley that runs through the village represents the brush; a bridge in the middle of the stone path, made of five evenly sized stones, represents the inkstick; the lotus ponds on both sides of the stone path represent the inkstone; and the cobblestone ground of the square village represents the paper. The village was founded in the second year of Xiande of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties (AD 955) and has a history of over 1000 years. In the fifth year of Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty (1178), the national teacher Li Shiri replanned and built the village layout with the 'Four Treasures of the Study' as the main image, the meaning of which is self-evident. Today, despite thousands of years of vicissitudes, the village still retains the original planning and architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty. The fortress walls, stone paths, residences, pavilions, ancestral temples, ancient cypresses, and pools still exhibit the charm of the past, interpreting the rich culture of farming and reading everywhere. The small ancient village also houses eight cultural halls, including the Rural Reform Exhibition Hall, Kunqu Museum, Huifengxuan Art Gallery, and Lin Ximing Painting Gallery, and has also developed a large-scale farming and reading culture park. It fully displays the ancient village culture, farming and reading culture, Kunqu culture, folk culture, ancestral hall culture of Yongjia, integrating tradition with modernity.

Stepping into Cangpo Ancient Village, the festive atmosphere hits you.
