Paddy fields

This place is a must to see if you’re in the south of Zhejiang. The best thing to do is go around by car as there are many places you can stop at and see. Yunhe, Lishui, Zhejiang

Rice terraces in Zhejiang

In south of Zhejiang, close to Lishui, there’s a small area with loads of villages and rice terraces. A great place to escape the city life for a few days. I’d recommend staying there for 2 nights and get to see the sunrise as well.

When I am old, I hope to plant a small field with Mr. Hu here, raise a dog and live a peaceful and happy life. This is probably the best end of life. Finally, I understand that ancient poets are keen on living in seclusion. Stay away from the noise and return to your hometown. #merrychristmas

Yunhe Rice Terrace is located in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. Get up early to view the sunset, quite sleepy and tired. However, the scenery is amazing! Worthwhile to get up early! #scenicspotguide

The ultimate guide to watching the sunrise in Lishui is here!

How to enjoy the Yunhe Terraces, and a few must-visit spots: 1. The Jiuhu Yunhe Observation Deck is a 5A tourist attraction, where you can take in the full view of the terraces. The terraces are like a colorful painting unfolding before your eyes. Especially at sunrise, when the first rays of sunlight hit the earth, the entire terraces are bathed in a golden glow, as if you are in a dream. 2. Baiyin Valley and Kenggen Village The ancient village exudes a strong historical atmosphere. Stroll around and feel the passage of time. The stone roads and ancient houses all tell stories of the past. 3. Qixing Dun Observation Deck Standing on the observation deck, the view is extremely open. The distant mountains and the nearby terraces form a beautiful landscape painting. While admiring the beautiful scenery, you can also have a cup of coffee at the Yun Duan Meika, and enjoy a leisurely time. The Yun Duan Swing allows you to experience the thrill and romance in the air, as if you are one with the blue sky and white clouds.

Rainy Lishui - A Journey to the Last Secret Realm of Jiangnan.

Lishui, known as the "Last Secret Realm of Jiangnan" by National Geographic, is a place with stunning natural scenery and rich history and culture. It is a filming location for many TV series and movies, such as "Two People's Little Forest", "Chinese Paladin", "The Condor Heroes", "Flower Thousand Bone", and "Snow in the Sword". Itinerary: - Day 1: Depart from Shanghai, head to Songyang Old Street, and check in at a nearby hotel. Songyang Old Street is different from ordinary commercial old streets, with a strong atmosphere of life. You can experience the local customs and culture here. For dinner, we recommend the nearby "Wang Family Kitchen", which has a good taste. - Day 2: In the morning, head to Yangjia Hall Village. The road into the village is narrow, so it is recommended to go early or avoid driving into the village to avoid traffic jams. The houses in Yangjia Hall Village are built on the mountainside, with yellow walls, black tiles, and green trees, which are very special and suitable for taking photos. The "NSD COFFEE" coffee shop in the village is a good place to rest. In the afternoon, head to Guyan Huaxiang. It is like a private garden scenic spot and is very large. To the left of Wenchang Pavilion is a park, where you can take a walk, play, and take a boat. To the right is a commercial street, where you can eat, live, and shop conveniently. If you choose to stay here, we recommend "Zhangsu", where you can see the ancient trees and the stream from the window. Then head to Qixingdun in Yunhe Rice Terraces. - Day 3: In the morning, visit Jiuqu Yunhuan, Qixingdun, and Baiyangu in Yunhe Rice Terraces. Yunhe Rice Terraces are divided into three major scenic spots. After arriving at the visitor center, you can choose your own transportation according to your needs, including buses, cable cars, and self-driving. Personally, I think the cable car is the most convenient. After the tour, return to Shanghai. Attraction Introduction: - Songyang Old Street: With a strong atmosphere of life, you can experience the local characteristics. - Yangjia Hall Village: Unique architecture, yellow walls, black tiles, and green trees, high photogenic rate. - Guyan Huaxiang: Like a private garden, with both natural beauty and commercial convenience. - Yunhe Rice Terraces: Divided into three scenic spots, Jiuqu Yunhuan, Qixingdun, and Baiyangu, with magnificent scenery. Ticket Information: Preferential joint ticket (including tickets + cable car + scenic line): CNY200/person Yunhe Rice Terraces Scenic Area Ticket: Full price CNY80/half price CNY40 Cable Car Information: Guanyun Cable Car Round Trip Full Price CNY240/Half Price CNY120 (Including Scenic Line 2) Upper Half Round Trip Full Price CNY140/Half Price CNY70 Downward One Way Full Price CNY110/Half Price CNY55 Cable Car Operating Hours: Peak Season (March 16 - November 15): 8:00 - 16:30 Off-Season (November 16 - March 15): 8:00 - 16:00 Best Season: May - June (Rice Season), September - October (Wheat Season) Personal Experience: Lishui is a very good place and worth visiting again and again. It is recommended to arrange 4-5 days, take your time, and slowly experience the beauty here, instead of rushing through. It is also suitable for a weekend getaway to escape the summer heat and the hustle and bustle of the city. Come to Rainy Lishui and experience this last secret realm of Jiangnan!

2-day and 1-night self-driving nanny guide for Yunhe Terrace

Average cost per person: 500 yuan D1: Depart from Wenzhou at 9:00, have fish head at Anren Ancient Town. The perilla stewed fish head here is delicious with a fresh soup base, and the side dishes are also very tasty. Lishui Anren Town Yonghe Fish Restaurant specializes in fish heads, not many side dishes, and you need to reserve the fish head in advance to enjoy it. After lunch, drive for 47 minutes to Yunhe Post Yun Homestay. The homestay is clean, the courtyard is well-designed, very comfortable, and beautiful. Dinner is also particularly delicious. The owner told us the routes, in the afternoon, first visit Baiyin Valley to Qixing Dun route, and the next morning go to the terraces for the Jiukeng Yunhuan route. You can drive to the entrance of the scenic area, and it's cost-effective to buy tickets at the homestay (if you have a teacher qualification certificate, you can buy tickets at the ticket office). I must say, Yunhe Terrace Scenic Area is really well managed. You can make a special request for the tickets, which are valid for two half-days. The service attitude and scenic design are particularly user-friendly, and the parking lots are free, with good guidance. D2: Stroll around the vicinity early in the morning at 6, and have a free breakfast at the homestay at 7:30, delicious farmhouse food, very satisfying. Depart at 7:50 to take photos of the terraces. Encountering rainy weather, the fog was heavy, but there was also a different kind of scenery, the terraces looming, the reflective paddy fields, the tender green lines, winding, washing away the fatigue in the heart. After about 2 hours of photo taking and sightseeing, drive to the cloud platform at Qixing Dun where you can play archery, everyone had a great time. Leave at 11:00 to go to Lishui 'Baixing Mushroom Industry' at No. 808 Sanglu Road for a mushroom mini hot pot, 69 yuan per person, fresh and delicious, in an elegant environment, highly recommended. After lunch, return, ending the trip perfectly.
