It's amazing, I captured the scene of 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' in the rural area of Hangzhou
"Ten miles of Paulownia Island covered in nine miles of flowers, a river of spring water flanked by willows on both banks."
The ancients did not deceive me; in Fuyang's Xintong Township, the 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' directly reflects into reality. Green mountains, clear waters, farmlands, sandbanks, flying birds... A beautiful landscape painting unfolds before me, with such poetic sentiment and vitality coming at me! 🤩

Traffic Guide🚥
🗺️ | Tour route: Baojiaqi Village - Xiaotongzhou Village - Tongzhou Island
🚌 | Get off at Guihua West Road Station on Metro Line 6, transfer to Bus 2115 to Baojiaqi Village
🚘 | Self-driving is more convenient, driving along the Fuchun River gives you the feeling of 'traveling within a painting'

What to do in Xintong Township❓
1⃣ Enjoy the vast sea of rapeseed flowers
Among the green mountains and waters, large fields of warm yellow rapeseed flowers bloom, the pastoral scenery is not inferior to Wuyuan. The flowering period is expected to last until after Qingming Festival, if possible, definitely bring a drone, the God's eye view is really super shocking.
-
2⃣ Walk the Fuchun Mountain Residence Greenway
Walking 🚶 or cycling 🚴, the whole route is very flat with no slopes, suitable for family and pet walking. Now is the time when the orioles are flying and the willows are brushing the embankments along the Fuchun River. The section from 📍Fu Li · Tongxin Camping to Xiaotongzhou Village drainage station is the most beautiful.
-
3⃣ Leisurely tour Tongzhou Island
Tongzhou Island is surrounded by river water on all sides, and the west side has a century-old maple poplar forest which is my favorite. The boardwalk is winding and deep, with towering dense trees. On sunny days, it's a green light forest, and on rainy days, it's a misty forest. You can camp and picnic here, or try the seasonal farmhouse dishes on the island.
✨There is also a hidden way to play, take the ferry ⛴️ to the opposite Dongziguan Village, which is the thousand-year-old village described by Yu Dafu and the ink-washed Jiangnan in Wu Guanzhong's paintings.

🍃The beauty is breathtaking - distant mountains, forests, rivers, and the setting sun.
🍃The beauty is breathtaking - distant mountains, forests, rivers, and the setting sun. Each scene pierces the heart. Isn't this the perfect camping spot of our dreams? After a night of torrential rain, one truly experiences the misty beauty of Tongzhou, as if wandering in a painting.
🌇The pink sunset at dusk paints the river red. The mist from the rain adds a layer of mystery to the forest, and the rainwater muddies the river, setting off the understated boats. After the storm, a mist rises. As the fog disperses, the distant green mountains, low houses, and rapeseed fields become clearer, presenting a real-life version of the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" before our eyes.
🌲The forest is dense, providing shelter from the scorching 40-degree heat. Even without a canopy, one wouldn't feel hot. In the evening, enjoying the river view and eating barbecue in the gentle breeze is the life we yearn for.
📮Location: Near the dock of Yujia Village, Tongzhou Island, Fuyang District, Zhejiang Province.
🚗Transportation: Self-driving, about 1.5 hours from Hangzhou.
🅿️Parking: Free. High-chassis vehicles can drive deep into the forest to the river.
⚠️Tips:
√It takes 2-3 minutes to walk from the river to the roadside. There are convenience stores, public toilets, and garbage stations, making it a well-equipped camping site.
√The road to the river has recently been blocked by iron stakes, and vehicles cannot pass. You need to go around to the dock and up a slope to get through the forest. High-chassis vehicles are recommended.
√Do not camp near the river on rainy days. The river level rises at night, especially during heavy rain, and vehicles can get stuck in the mud.
√Open fires, overnight stays, fishing, and pets are allowed.
√Currently unmanaged, please take your garbage with you and dispose of it at the garbage station.
√Tongzhou Island has different types of campsites, both free and paid, as well as a kayak base.
√If bringing children, be sure to protect against sun and insects. The water is deep, so be careful when playing near the river.
