Visiting the Xiao Chibi Scenic Area

The Xiao Chibi Scenic Area is truly a beautiful landscape area, and it must be said that in ancient times it was also known as Baiyan. On one side of the stream, there is a sheer cliff, with the cliff faces alternating between ochre and white, looking from a distance like they have been scorched by flames, very much resembling the Chibi (Red Cliffs) of the Yangtze River. Due to its smaller scale, it is thus named Xiao Chibi (Little Red Cliffs). I spent almost half a day wandering around this scenic area and still felt like I hadn't seen it all.

Zhejiang's 'Little Dunhuang', following the trend is super shocking! It's so worth it to play for free!

📅Day1: 🚗Self-driving from Ningbo, arrive at the homestay at noon, and start playing in the afternoon! ✔Yandang Book House📚: The most beautiful stone cave book house in Zhejiang is well-deserved! The gorgeous counterattack of the abandoned quarry, the visual impact is off the charts~ There is also a coffee shop in the cave, ☕when the sun shines in, reading, drinking coffee, taking pictures, it's simply too comfortable! ✔No. 2 Stone Cave🌳: The real version of The Wizard of Oz, Ni Ni and AB have both been here to check in! 🤩But be aware, this place is undeveloped, you need to climb a short distance, the road conditions are not good. Directly navigate to 'Xiandu Shiji Youju Homestay', 50m ahead there is a blue sign guiding. ✔Little Red Cliff🧗‍♂️: Worth a climb! 500 meters of journey, there is a stone path halfway up the mountain, you can watch the sunset 🌇 in the evening, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiandu. 📅Day2: ✔Zhu Tan Mountain 🐂: The famous old farmer herding cattle scene is here! 🤠(Performance time: 9:30-11:00/14:30-16:00) ✔Dinghu Peak 🏔: The only place in the scenic area that charges an entrance fee, 90r🤑. Inside there is the Huangdi Temple, you can climb to the top to overlook Xiandu, a lot of martial arts dramas were filmed here~ 🍲Food: Local specialty Jinyun baked cake, and the local cuisine of the homestay, the taste is great! 😋 🎉It's quite suitable for weekend family trips, not many people, good air, 🚗it's more convenient to drive by yourself!

The path is definitely not meant for anyone who is tall!! Great views overlooking the river. The big belly rock is truly HUGE and looks like a protruding tummy! No entrance fee which is great. It’s nice to jog along the river in the early morning for a breathe of fresh air. #nature #naturephotography #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #naturescapes #mynovgetaway#awesomepic#instagramworthydestinations
