I stepped into the secret realm of Jiangnan and saw the descendants of the phoenix
Perhaps it is because the halo of 'the last secret realm of Jiangnan' is too dazzling that few people notice Jingning right next to Songyang. It is the only She ethnic autonomous county in China, known as the 'Little Tibet of Zhejiang'. The topography of Jingning is dominated by river valley cutting through mountains, with ravines crisscrossing and peaks clustering, creating many beautiful mountain and river valleys.
This is Jingning, the only She ethnic autonomous county in China
🚉Travel Tips:
Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Lishui, and the bus station is right next to Lishui station, where you can buy a bus ticket to Jingning
Weekend two-day tour recommendation:
Day1: She Township Ancient City
Although it was built later, it still has certain ethnic characteristics. There are few people in the ancient city, and very few shops are open. Here, clothing rental is 100 yuan with no time limit, and you can bargain during the off-season
Day2: The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff
The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff of the She Township Window is so spectacular, it turns out that the Sky City in fairy tales really exists! Here, besides taking crazy photos, there are also many entertainment facilities
Recommended attractions:
1 Yunzhong Daji - Xiao Zuo Village
Check in the thousand-year-old ancient temple 'Shisi Temple' that resembles the Emerald City, then walk to the Xuehua Ji waterfall for great photo opportunities. Continue 6 kilometers along the mountain road to reach Xiao Zuo Village, known as the 'Jiangnan D1 Terrace'.
2 She Township Ancient City
It is a newly built ancient city in the county town. The She people worship the phoenix, so it is also called Phoenix Ancient City. There are few tourists here, making it a great place to rent ethnic costumes for a photo shoot.
3 Sky City
A resort nestled in the mountains and valleys, you can buy a ticket to visit without staying, and take a small train into the animated world of Hayao Miyazaki.
4 Dajun Village
An ethnic ancient village built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'Window of She Township', it is even more primitive and original.

If I say Lishui, I like it the most, I want to say that it is Xiaozuo Village in Datun Township, Jingning County. When I arrived at Xiaozuo Village, it was already dark. When I woke up the next day, the clouds were haunting and the mountains were everywhere. I was in the middle of the small terraces, the clouds turned into rain, and the drops of rain fell on my face.
The mountain is confused by the smell of wet air. The quiet Xiaozuo village is still quiet and will not be embarrassed because of my arrival. The old houses here are old and retro, and you can see the traces of the years. Like many villages, there are no young people here, and some are old people who are faltering.
The village is small, but there are many celebrities here. There have been great people here, and there has been a lot of time here. On the tiles and walls of the dilapidated houses, we can see the long distance of the house. It is suitable for shooting portraits. Looking for a colorful girl wearing an ancient cheongsam and walking with a paper umbrella, I want to be sure that it is like a Jiangnan smoke painting.
There is a ginkgo tree in the village, maybe it is late autumn, maybe it is raining. The ginkgo on the branches is scarce. Some leaves were scattered on the ground, perhaps the wind blowing last night, making the ground golden. If it is the day of the sun, this ginkgo must be very beautiful.
