I love Lishui in winter. It's less noisy and more peaceful and tranquil. Itinerary: D1 Dinghufeng Peak. The scenic area is vast, and the most famous photo spot is the stone bridge with the ox. Every hour, two people and an ox will cross the bridge. People on the bridge will be asked to leave, so you can take photos from below. D2 Songyang Ancient Street. My favorite is Chenjiapu Village, a village on a cliff, accessible by a winding mountain road. It's a great place for photos when the weather is good. There's also a popular bookstore in the village that's a must-visit. A scene from Ni Ni's "The Golden Era" was filmed there. D3 Yunhe Rice Terraces. The terraces are irrigated in winter, and you can capture beautiful reflections by shooting from above. The mountain air is fresh, and if you're brave enough, you can visit the suspended viewing platform. It's suspended in mid-air, which can be a bit unnerving.

💫 Introduction: Anlingrong's hometown, Songyang County, Lishui, Zhejiang, is known as the "Last Secret Realm of Jiangnan" and also as the "Peach Blossom Spring of Southern Zhejiang"🍃 It is very suitable for escaping the big city and taking a weekend getaway to an ancient village💨 However, Songyang's transportation is inconvenient, so be sure to do your research before you go～ 🌟 About Transportation 🚗 Self-driving: The most convenient and recommended option, but the mountainous and narrow roads within the county require good driving skills 🚘 Parking: Parking is available at the entrance of each village, but there are limited spaces 🚄 Public Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Lishui Station, then take a taxi/rental car/chartered car/bus to Songyang County (⚠️ It is difficult to get a taxi in Songyang, and they usually don't use meters; there are buses from the county passenger station to the countryside, but they are very inconvenient) Stop 1️⃣: Yangjiatang Village 🕐 Opening Hours: Open all day At the entrance of the village, you will be greeted by a beautiful and magnificent pair of trees, their roots intertwined. If you're lucky, you might see a cowherd driving his cows here, which will instantly add a sense of story to your experience. Continue walking further in, and you will reach a viewpoint overlooking the entire village. Take in the yellow walls and black tiles, the overlapping houses, and the stunning scenery. This is also the filming location for the movie "Two People's Little Forest". 📸 Photo Spots: The couple trees at the village entrance, the yellow walls and black tiles, the alleyways, etc. 🚶 Walking Time: 1-2 hours Stop 2️⃣: Songzhuang Village 🕐 Opening Hours: Open all day Upon arriving at Songzhuang, you will find that it is surrounded by mountains and a stream runs through the village, creating a natural landscape. Compared to Yangjiatang, there are fewer tourists here. The village is not commercialized, and the villagers still maintain their original way of life, using traditional stoves. You might even encounter an old lady washing clothes or vegetables by the stream, or a grandpa eating at his doorstep. It feels like you've stepped into someone else's life, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying the peace and quiet of rural life. 📸 Photo Spots: Ancient houses, ancestral halls, and the picturesque stone arch bridge 🚶 Walking Time: 1-2 hours Stop 3️⃣: Chenjiapu Village 🕐 Opening Hours: Open all day Chenjiapu is known as the "Cliffside Ancient Village". There is also a trendy bookstore here, facing a deep valley, accompanied by rain, fog, and clouds. The village is more commercialized than the others, with guesthouses, cafes, bookstores, cultural and creative shops, and restaurants. Sit in the bookstore and enjoy a cup of coffee, and enjoy your leisure time. 📸 Photo Spots: The bookstore, the tree on the roof, the terraced village 🚶 Walking Time: 1-2 hours Stop 4️⃣: Songyang Old Street 🕐 Opening Hours: Open all day The old street is a great place to wander around. The 600-meter-long street connects two rows of wooden houses, with bluestone pavement, white walls and gray tiles. At night, the street has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere, and it is an old street that has not yet been commercialized. Don't be fooled by the fact that there is only one street, there are blacksmith shops, cotton-beating workshops, dyeing and printing workshops, etc., making it a rich and varied experience. 🚶 Walking Time: 1-2 hours 🔴 Note: When visiting Songyang, you need to take your time and appreciate it. If you only take a quick look, you might be disappointed. Looking at the yellow mud and black tiles, the centuries-old stone bridges, the ancient trees, and the streams, all of these fulfill my expectations for Songyang.

The second stop of the West Zhejiang trip is Songyang. Songyang is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the central basin is known as the "Song Ancient Plain" or "Song Ancient Basin" for its openness and flatness. What to see in Songyang? The locals all say, go to see the ancient villages, stroll around the ancient city and ancient streets, and taste Songyang Dragon Boat Festival tea. Strolling along Songyang Old Street, I didn't expect any surprises at first. But after strolling around, I was attracted by its original local style. This ancient street is a microcosm of Songyang's history and culture, preserving a large number of buildings and cultural heritage from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and showing Songyang's farming and reading culture and commercial prosperity. The old street buildings are mainly white walls, black tiles, and wooden structures, full of simple and elegant atmosphere. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are two stories high, with brick walls below and wooden structures above, showing typical Jiangnan characteristics. There are also many ancient steles, stone carvings and couplets on the ancient street, recording the history and culture of Songyang. Many of the shops on the old street are still the homes of locals, and many of the things they sell are closely related to work and life, such as hardware tools, farming tools, bamboo woven products, clothes and bedding, etc., which have a life atmosphere and suddenly pull the memory back to the 1970s. A small alley, from south to north, from east to west, every family is familiar, everyone knows each other, and the things they buy are different, which makes people feel at ease. The geographical characteristics of Songyang make Songyang mainly based on farming since ancient times, so the local farming tools also have advantages. In the competition with surrounding counties and cities, they stand out and are of high quality. Come to Songyang, stroll around the old streets and alleys, recall childhood memories, slow down the pace of tense life, this is the harvest of travel.
