I was wrong. I used to come to Shiping for the tofu and fried fish. I didn't expect to see such a beautiful place this time. Summary of three trips to Shiping: these six places are must-visits! Shiping is worth a day trip! ! ✨✨ 1⃣️Yilon Lake This plateau lake is so beautiful! You can take pictures of the sunrise in the morning, watch the sunset in the evening, go fishing, ride a bike, and feed seagulls. The sightseeing plank road in the lake is winding, and the pavilions and arch bridges are scattered and orderly. You can take great photos at will without any Photoshop. 2⃣️Come to Heting On the shore of Yillong Lake, Laihe Pavilion in Xiaoruicheng Village is also not to be missed. Compared to Huanwen Park, I prefer to climb Laihe Pavilion to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. The water of Yilong Lake is blue under the sun, and it is more photogenic. 3⃣️Zhengying Village Zhengying Village, 100 kilometers away from the ancient city, is a national historical and cultural village. The village is simple and natural, with lush bougainvillea hanging on the wall of the small courtyard, warm and healing. The two-story, four-entry, 38-room Chen's residence is magnificent, and the carved beams and painted buildings seem to make you feel the former prosperity. 4⃣️Confucian Temple Many elderly people are playing chess and cards at the door. The "Lingxing Gate" archway is nice for taking photos, and there is a wishing tree next to it. There is a Ma Li snack shop in the alley right opposite the Confucian Temple. Their cold rice rolls and roasted beef jerky are delicious 😋 Locals are queuing up. The alley is not long, but it is surprisingly photogenic. There are many old houses and specialty shops inside. 5⃣️Yuping Academy📝️ It is now the location of the Shiping County Museum. You must check out the quiet and healing "Longmen" archway, and the Dafang Coffee to the left of the academy entrance (navigation "Zunjing Pavilion"), which is unique and beautiful no matter how you take pictures. 6⃣️Meter-gauge train The straight palm trees at the small train station are very exotic, and the green chairs, green windows and yellow walls are very beautiful for taking photos. Next to the two-story old blue brick house, there is a "Shiping" station sign, which is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. It witnessed the former glory of Shiping. ✨✨ 🌀Route arrangement: Morning: Zhengying Village Afternoon: Confucian Temple➡️Yuping Academy➡️Meter-gauge train Evening: Laihe Pavilion ➡️Yilung Lake ✨✨ 🆘Highlights: The above 6 places do not require tickets, they are completely free❗Few people, beautiful scenery, and good photos❗❗ .
