Hangzhou's thousand-year-old "Seven Ancient" ancient villages are about to be renovated in autumn
The thousand-year-old "Seven Ancients" ancient village in the suburbs of Hangzhou is about to be renewed in autumn, and its scenery is picturesque!
Autumn is a colorful season. "Miss Autumn" covers the sky with colorful clouds, adds a golden ocean to the earth, outlines red lanterns in the forest, and adds white traces to the green mountains, making people laugh and full of surprises!
So, where should we go in this refreshing autumn atmosphere? It is recommended to visit the thousand-year-old "Seven Ancients" ancient village in the suburbs of Hangzhou. It will be new in autumn and the scenery is picturesque. Those who like it can get ready!
What I want to talk about is Hangzhou Zhinan Village, which has the "seven ancient" heritage of ancient surnames, ancient ponds, ancient trees, ancient ancestral halls, ancient temples, ancient houses, and ancient tombs. Judging from the excavated ancient stone tools and ancient coins, it has a history of at least a thousand years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
What's more amazing is that the village still retains historical buildings, the ancient houses from the Qing Dynasty, the tall horse-head walls, the hollow wooden window lattices, and the carefully carved beams and columns are all fascinating, making it a unique village. In addition, the village also has historical and cultural attractions such as the Mo Family Ancient Temple and Tianchi Lake. It has been rated as "the most beautiful ancient village in East China" by photography enthusiasts.
After moving to Zhinan Village, you will see that it is built against the mountain and is colorful. Look at the century-old ginkgo forest and terraced rice fields that are full of gold; look at the thousand-year-old red maple trees that are red; look at the volcanic lava flow slopes that are brown; look at the mountains, trees, and the turquoise Tianchi Lake, all of which are green; and the ancient village covered with tiles and the starry sky are seamlessly black!
Of course, the most exciting thing is that Zhinan Village is about to launch a new thing - red and gold. Simply put, every autumn, more than 470 acres of terraced fields on both sides of the village will be golden. Rare ancient trees such as Liquidambar formosana, Ginkgo biloba, and Ironwood stand in front of and behind the houses. The whole village has a tranquil and timeless charm, presenting a grand spectacle of red and gold interweaving, like a palette overturned by nature!
By then, the scenery will be picturesque, with colorful beauty, endless golden terraces, rice waves blown by the wind, distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and layered golden land coming into view. In the distance, red maples of varying heights are dotted among the mountains. Only when you see it in person can you understand how romantic the picture is!
So how do you punch in?
The recommended tour route is to go to the "Seven Ancient Sites" in Nanning Village - Mojia Pavilion - Mojia Pavilion Observation Deck - the areas on both sides of the red leaves - the rice fields. There are also the Shenlongchuan Scenic Area and Tangding Wonderland Scenic Spot nearby. You can check in there if you like. The time is from October to mid-December [rice field harvesting time, after the Red Maple Festival every year, there are basically no rice fields in December].
If you don’t like taking photos so much, you can actually wander around, because the ancient village is beautiful and there are many giant trees. There are many old wooden houses here, which give you a sense of the vicissitudes of time. You can get close contact and experience it, and feel quiet and comfortable.
When you are tired of shopping, you can also try to make a pot of tea, chat with friends in the farm house, and watch the leaves floating and falling. This is also a real life!
Tips for visiting Hangzhou Zhinan Village:
Tickets are 0 yuan. It is located on the Yongzhi Line in Lin'an District, Hangzhou. Take Metro Line 16 from Hangzhou to Lin'an Square Station, then transfer to Line 832 to Yangling Bus Station, and then transfer to Line 2724 to Zhinan Mountain. It takes 5 hours. It is recommended to drive by yourself, which takes about 1.5 hours.
It is recommended to visit Zhinan Village on weekdays. After the Red Maple Festival, you can stay in the ancient village for one night. The autumn in Hangzhou is very short, and there are too many people going out to chase the autumn. If you stay in the village for one night, you can experience the deserted Zhinan Village in the morning and evening and look at the starry sky, which is really amazing!
