🏞️ Shishe Village is the most remote administrative village on the Fuchun River, and it is also a village filled with ancient charm🏡. Although the village is small, it has a history of 400 years. Its name comes from the fact that villagers live in houses built with stones, hence it is called Shishe Village. Attraction Information: Address📍: Shishe Village, Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province Transportation🚗: Self-driving is recommended, 2h from Hangzhou 📸Travel Tips: 👉 Follow the main road along the river, turn right after seeing the bridge and walk another 100 meters, and you will see a village square. Walk another 50 meters, and you will see a mailbox, which is your destination. Here you can find architecture from the Ming and Qing periods, horse-head walls, grey tiles and white walls, with bamboo and mountains in the distance forming a stark color contrast. 👉 Shidun Bridge is right on the main road by the river. At the second intersection, you will see a stone arch leading downwards. Go through it, and you will arrive at the riverside, where you can see the village's second Shidun Bridge. Many tourists play in the water here, especially children who like to have water fights. It is also a great spot to stand on the stone piers for photography, as you can capture a reflective effect. 👉 The stone arch tunnel is right behind you, very cool, and can create a profound feeling in photos. 👉 To view the entire ancient village from above, you can drive to the entrance of the village and follow the main road upwards, where you will find a parking lot.

Tonglu, a poetic Jiangnan water town, boasts not only clear streams and ancient villages but also a historic trail—the Maling Ancient Trail. Today, let's explore this trail and experience its unique charm. Located in Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, the Maling Ancient Trail stretches for about 9 kilometers and offers a time-honored hiking route. Originally built during the Tang Dynasty, it served as a vital passage connecting Hangzhou and Huizhou. Although no longer a transportation route, its scenic beauty continues to captivate countless visitors. As you walk along the trail, you'll be surrounded by lush trees. In spring, peach and pear blossoms bloom in vibrant competition, creating a breathtaking spectacle. During summer and autumn, the mountainsides transform into picturesque landscapes with red leaves and golden rice paddies.

#discoverchina Although there was a big temperature drop and rain, I was a little hesitant at first, but to my surprise, the beauty of Tonglu in the rain was absolutely stunning. Definitely worth the trip! Transportation There are two high-speed rail stations in Tonglu: Tonglu Station and Tonglu East Station. Tonglu Station is closer to the county and the Maling Ancient Road. Tonglu East Station is closer to Meirong Village. I arrived at Tonglu East Station at 7 PM and planned to take a taxi to Maoping Village. I waited for a long time but couldn’t get a driver. When a platform driver was finally dispatched, they refused to go, saying it was too far (about 30 kilometers) and asked for extra payment. After a while, I managed to catch a ride for 50 yuan. I was lucky, though, so if you’re arriving at night, make sure to have a backup plan or try to book a ride in advance. Gongyu Ancient Road The road connects three ancient villages: Luci Village, Maoping Village, and Shishe Village. The entire route is around 11 km long: Luci Village to Maoping Village: 8 km Maoping Village to Shishe Village: 3 km (this section is the highlight of the route). The route is mostly flat with very little elevation gain. In terms of commercialization: Luci Village > Shishe Village > Maoping Village. I personally liked Maoping Village the most. I stayed there for three nights, and there are buses between the three villages, or you can take a taxi. Fuchun River It turns out the best way to explore Fuchun River is not by boat, but by walking along the Fuchun River Greenway. The river looks muddy up close when on the boat, but from the Greenway, it looks star-green. The experience is especially beautiful on a rainy day—very poetic and dreamy! If you want to take a boat, just navigate to “Jiangnan Longmen Bay.” After my boat ride, I walked from Longmen Bay to Luci Village—all along the Greenway. #thingstodo #travel

Jingyi Hall is located on the west side of the old street in Shishe Village. Residents say it has a history of over 200 years. The building faces east and covers an area of 473 square meters. It's a brick and wood structure, with a double-sloped hard mountain roof, and a five-room, two-entrance, three-section layout. Above the main gate, there are paintings of the gate's beam structure. Behind the gate is a large, square courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. The side rooms flanking the courtyard have three pillars and five purlins, with double-sloped hard mountain roofs. The first entrance has five bays, with double steps in the central bay. The secondary rooms have five pillars and nine purlins, with thick pillars and heavy beams. The rear courtyard is the same size as the front courtyard, with side rooms having two pillars and five purlins, and double-sloped hard mountain roofs. The second entrance has five rooms, with three pillars and seven purlins. Except for some insect damage and mildew on parts of the structure, the building is relatively well-preserved, and some painted murals can still be seen on the interior walls. In recent years, residents have gradually moved to new homes or left for work elsewhere, and the house has been neglected. The few elderly residents who remain are unable to repair it. The once spacious halls of the first entrance are now piled with debris and firewood, and the environment is deteriorating. The rear courtyard has become a place for raising chickens. If measures are not taken, this excellent building will face the risk of further damage. It is one of the key provincial cultural relics in the Shishe ancient architectural complex.

The second floor has four pillars and nine purlins. A wing room was built against the east wall about 20 years later than the main building of Cunrentang, about 120 years ago. Facing north, the wing room consists of two buildings that share a wall but are opposite to each other and have basically the same layout. Each wing room has three rooms and two corridors, with a double-sloped roof. Cunrentang is spacious and grand, while the wing room is compact and meticulous, with unique characteristics. It is one of the provincial cultural relic ancient architectural complexes in Shishe.

There are so many fun places around Hangzhou! This time I went to Tonglu and found several very niche water play spots, perfect for a weekend getaway with family and friends to relax and camp in the mountains. Walk along the Maling Ancient Trail, which is about 11 km long, and the three villages along the way each have their own characteristics and are worth a visit. 1. Luzi Village Parking is convenient, and there are many stone roads on the river. You can also go boating and enjoy the idyllic scenery along the river while sailing. There are farm dishes next to the river. If you want to take photos, you can go directly to the next two villages. There are more people because it is the closest to the city. 2. Maoping Village It is quiet with fewer people, and there are far fewer tourists than in Luzi Village. The century-old camphor tree is perfect for photos! It has not been developed much, and many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings and ancestral halls have been preserved, as well as ancient bridges, which are very photogenic! Worth a visit. 3. Shishe Village The water is very clear! Surrounded by mountains on all sides and water on three sides, the river is shallow, and you can set up camping gear on the shoal to feel the coolness. There are many small scenic spots that are perfect for photos. The village preserves a large number of Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, and walking among them is like traveling through time. Tips: 1. Plan your route and parking in advance. You will need to take a taxi back to the starting point after visiting the three villages along the Maling Ancient Trail. 2. Slippers and towels are a must! Snacks and water are also necessary. 3. The outdoor UV rays are strong, so take precautions.

| Tonglu. Memories of my trip to Tonglu last October! I went during the dry season, so the river was almost dry. I couldn't sit on the stone steps and roll up my pants to play in the water, but the scenery was still beautiful! Green mountains, clear water, stone steps, ancient paths, and streams. It's a great place to relax and get close to nature! Shishe Village is actually very small, but it has its own characteristics. The Maling Ancient Path is quite long, and you can walk through a large bamboo forest. It's great for hiking and relaxing on the weekend. There are local residents selling jabuticaba in the village, which is rarely seen elsewhere. It tastes good, so you can try it! The local food is also delicious! I randomly found a small restaurant in the village, and it turned out to be surprisingly delicious! Daqishan National Forest Park is a lot of fun! The water is very green, reflecting the koi and white clouds. It feels like my eyes have been washed clean. Daqishan has many amusement facilities and is quite large. There are bamboo forests and small waterfalls, making it a great place for hiking and bringing kids to play! I didn't have time to visit other places like Yanziling Fishing Platform and Fuchun Mountain, but I heard they are also beautiful. If you want to go, you may need to stay in Tonglu for two days. Reminder: Shishe Village is really small, and the only photogenic place is the stone steps at the entrance of the village. If you're not specifically coming to hike the ancient path, there's no need to make a special trip. When my friend and I came, we found it was only this big, which was a bit disappointing. But then we thought, although it's small, it's beautiful. Coming to the mountains to hike the ancient path and breathe fresh air is actually quite nice, especially since the mountains in Tonglu are connected to the water, stretching endlessly, and are very green. It's truly picturesque. Secondly, Tonglu doesn't have a subway, and the attractions are far apart. The buses are also infrequent (about every 30 minutes to Shishe Village), and taxis aren't cheap, so it's best to drive yourself for a weekend getaway. It will be more convenient and ideal. I hope everyone has a great time!

As a village overlooking the beautiful Fuchun River, Tonglu naturally has beautiful natural scenery, and the villagers are also very friendly. It is suitable for city workers to breathe fresh air and relax on weekends. Maling Ancient Road: Luci Village - Maoping Village - Shishe Village Recommended way to play: Hike the Maliang Ancient Trail, which runs through three main villages. The entire trail is 12 kilometers and takes 4-5 hours. This ancient road is well built and paved with stone slabs. It is almost flat and easy to walk on. The scenery along the mountain and stream is very nice. The air is also very good, it is simply a paradise for breathing fresh air. Luci Village It is recommended to take a boat to "Yan Ziling Fishing Platform" where you can see the mountain scenery of Fuchun River. This is the scenery depicted in the famous painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". There are almost restaurants in the village, and there is a stream where you can play in the water and take a boat. Maoping Village The most quaint and peaceful village, the buildings in the village, especially those near the "Hu Family Ancestral Hall" and "Wenchang Pavilion", are very much in the style of Huizhou architecture. There is also a coffee shop with a big tree at the door and two osmanthus trees in full bloom in the yard. It is very suitable for sitting quietly. There are also three cute cats in the cafe that you can pet. Shishe Village There are many literary shops, mainly selling coffee or tea. Overall, the most beautiful scenery is looking at the entire village surrounded by streams from the Maling Ancient Road opposite. Most of the restaurants here are farmhouses opened by the villagers themselves. The food is pretty good and the portions are large. Three dishes are enough for two people. We ate at "Yun Zhong Ju" in Luci Village, "Yeren Valley Restaurant" in Shishe Village, and "Shishe Shizhen" in Shishe Village.
