During my spring trip to southern China, I came to Xinchang County in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. Here, spring seems to tell a story everywhere you look. My destination was the Great Buddha Temple Cultural Tourism Area, and the place I chose to stay was Fan Yin Manor, hidden in the mountains. This hotel not only made me feel at home, but also brought me many surprises. 🌸 Check-in experience: Walking into Fan Yin Manor is like entering a tranquil world. The hotel is located inside the Great Buddha Temple Scenic Area, in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle. As soon as I entered the lobby, I felt the warm welcome from the staff. From the check-in procedures to the luggage handling, every step was meticulous and thoughtful. What's even more thoughtful is the small gift given upon check-in—sweet potato chips and Xiaojingsheng peanuts, which are sweet but not greasy, making people feel the warmth of home. 🚗 Convenient transportation: Fan Yin Manor is in an extremely advantageous location, not only in the center of the Great Buddha Temple Scenic Area, but also very convenient for traveling to all corners of Xinchang or returning to Shengzhou Xinchang High-speed Railway Station from the hotel. In particular, the hotel provides a free round-trip electric car service, which ensures that travelers can travel without worry, rain or shine. This thoughtful service is impressive. 🌿 Room design: The room design combines Chinese courtyard style with Zen culture, and every detail reveals the owner's intentions. The intelligent facilities in the room, such as the smart toilet and adjustable lighting, not only enhance the comfort of living, but also make people feel the perfect combination of modern technology and traditional culture. Sitting on the grand master's chair in the room, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, and looking out at the natural scenery outside the window, time seems to stand still at that moment. 🍴 Culinary experience: The hotel's restaurant is also worth a try. Whether it is the rich selection of breakfast or the exquisite dishes for dinner, every dish is unforgettable. I especially recommend the steamed sea bass, which is delicious and served with homemade sauce. It is simply a feast for the taste buds. In addition, the waiters are very friendly, making people feel at home. If you plan to visit the Great Buddha Temple Cultural Tourism Area, you may want to consider staying at Fan Yin Manor.

Hidden deep in the mountains of Xinchang, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, lies a quaint, primitive and picturesque mountain village. It can be said that the scenery is around the village, and the village is in the middle of the scenery. This is Lijiaxi Village, where the first of the Salt Gang’s Eighteen Crossings is located. Lijiaxi Village is located in the northern part of Xiaojiang Town, adjacent to Qiaoying Reservoir in the east. The clear Jugen River runs beside the village, forming the unique topography of "eight mountains, one water and one field" in this ancient mountain village. Water brings life. The beauty of Lijiaxi Village lies in its clear stream. The stream in front of the village is relatively wide, and with two stone dams, the mountain village, which lives by the water, presents a beautiful artistic conception like Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", a vivid landscape painting. When I first entered the village, I mistakenly thought that the two stone dams with stepping bridges were the first and second crossings of the Salt Gang's Eighteen Crossings. Walking downstream all the way to Shuidui Ferry, I realized that the stone dam in front of the village was not qualified to join the ranks of the Eighteen Ferry crossings. I found that people in Xinchang may not like to decorate the village, but they particularly like to beautify the stream. Lijiaxi Village is particularly outstanding in this regard. I heard that the village is bustling with traffic every weekend. You can drive all the way to the parking lot next to the First Ferry Terminal. However, I still recommend starting your tour from the Longxi Bridge at the entrance of the village, otherwise you will miss some of the beautiful scenery of Lijiaxi Village. There are several farmhouse restaurants in the village, as well as a dedicated barbecue area. There are also several quaint and beautiful homestays in the village, built on the embankment on one side of Jugen Creek, with intoxicating scenery everywhere. Among them is one called the Salt Gang Inn, which is full of martial arts style. "Watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, and the clouds roll and unfold in the sky." After a busy day at work, you can take a break in the picturesque Lijiaxi Village. 📍Detailed address: Lijiaxi Village, Xiaojiang Town, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province [MapleLeaf] Ticket price: Free

The Salt Gang's Eighteen Crossings is located in Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. This was a secret passage in the mountains secretly dug by private salt dealers in the old days to avoid investigation by the government. Now it has become a popular place for water play and a check-in spot for internet celebrities. The Yanbang Eighteen Ferry is about 6 kilometers long and is named after the 18 anchor bridges on the Jugen River. Dingbu Bridge starts from Lijiaxi Village and ends at Chiyan Village. The stream between the two villages is winding, with mountains on both sides. Dingbu Bridge is made of local materials, mostly irregular rocks, some of which are straight, some slightly curved, and some are S-shaped. The clear stream water flows through the cracks between the stones, creating a fresh picture with beautiful artistic conception. The first ferry is called Shuidui Ferry, located on the west side of Lijiaxi Village. There are double rows of anchorage bridges and dams on the stream, as well as piers, water-friendly platforms, and viewing corridors beside the stream. The surrounding landscape is well maintained. After crossing the stream from Shuidui, you officially enter the Salt Gang Eighteen Crossings. 18 bridges connect the ancient paths along the stream into a complete hiking route. The ancient trails are all one-way, either on the left side or on the right side of the stream. Therefore, if you want to complete the entire journey, you need to cross 18 bridges. From the first crossing, the excitement continued and every step was taken in the scenery. The most popular ferry among tourists is the 17th ferry, Leigong Ferry. The stream here is wide, and the Dingbu Bridge paved with stone slabs meanders in the water like a ribbon dancing in the wind. There is a flood dam next to Dingbu Bridge. The stream flows over it, and when cars pass by, a layer of water splashes up, which is particularly picturesque. [MapleLeaf] There are three main ways to visit Yanbang Shibadu: [One] Start from Lijiaxi Village and walk from Shuidui Ferry to Hongyan Ferry, a round trip of 10 kilometers. [Two] Start from Chiyan Village and walk from Hongyan Ferry to Shuidui Ferry, a round trip of 10 kilometers. [Three] If you are intimidated by the 10 kilometers, you can first navigate to Chiyan Village, then drive along the stream from Shibadu to Shisandu, then stop and walk. [Pushpin]Some people may ask, can I drive the whole way? No, you can only walk between the first and thirteenth crossings. Some people may also ask, can I take a taxi back to the starting point? Not very possible, as both villages are remote small mountain villages, 25 kilometers apart by winding mountain roads. 📍Detailed address: [One] Lijiaxi Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province (First Ferry) [Two] Chiyan Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province (18th Ferry) [MapleLeaf] Ticket price: Free ⏳Time reference: If you walk the whole way back and forth, it will take at least 3 hours

⛰️The Anshan Ancient Trail is gradually disappearing. One of its entrances, Xiaoquanxi Village, is currently being relocated. For your safety, we do not recommend entering the trail from Xiaoquanxi Village. You can start your hike from Jianguo Village or Anshan Village. Anshan Village is located at a medium altitude, while Jianguo Village is at a high altitude. Therefore, starting from Anshan Village offers a gentler slope and convenient parking and dining options. 🏡Mafanglanshan Homestay is located in Pingqiao Village, 5 km from Anshan Village. It has 7 rooms, named after "firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea." The rooms mainly feature tatami mats, making them suitable for families with children and young people. The courtyard is designed in Tang Dynasty style, and Tang-style bathrobes are provided in the rooms, perfect for photos.
