[2025 Taizhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Ningxizhen (Updated Jul)

In the early morning, the mountain air is slightly cool. Driving to the end of the mountain road, an ancient village unfolds before your eyes like a paradise, and you can't help but feel joy. The fondness for ancient villages seems endless, and every time you check in a new village, it feels like a Columbus moment. Wuyantou Village is located in Ningxi Town of Huangyan District. The village is small, but it is said to retain 110 ancient buildings from the Qing Dynasty, with the oldest house being nearly three hundred years old. As one of the ancient Huangxian postal roads, this place was once an important route for the smuggling of salt and the trafficking of timber. Nowadays, few people live in the village, and it is said that due to its remote location and poor economy in the past, most villagers had to go out to make a living, leading to the village becoming a 'hollow village'. However, it is evident that the rural revitalization plan is progressing, and some commercial elements are starting to take shape. Stone arch bridges, bluestone slabs, babbling streams, and serene forests, stone houses dot the mountain scenery, quiet and beautiful. The old courtyards restored to their former state seem a bit deserted. Only when visitors like me come in, does the village see a hint of liveliness. I am very much looking forward to the day when the village is completely rebuilt under the master plan of Professor Yang Guiqing from Tongji University. It will surely be a stunning encounter, as the surrounding environment is just too good.

Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage 'Lantern Festival on the Second Day of the Second Month' is a traditional folk festival in the area of Ningxi Town, Huangyan. It is said to have originated in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly 800 years. It is not only a large-scale folk temple fair and lantern festival, but also a grand gathering of folk arts activities including folk songs and dances, folk music, folk operas, folk acrobatics, and folk games. During the second day of the second lunar month, follow the spring dragon through Songqu Straight Street, slowly savoring along the tipsy route. Outside the bustling area, amidst the lantern lights, and within the ancient town, one is truly intoxicated by the world. Admire the thousand lanterns of enlightenment, watch the colorful performances, stroll through the tipsy flash events, and wander through the fireworks market. The poetry of 'Dazzling colors spread across the land, brilliant lights stitch the sky afar' is brought into reality, allowing the traditional festival to compose a new chapter of splendor.
