A Gathering Place of Immortals - Dinghu Peak
Emperor Xuanyuan ascended to immortality here, a gathering place of immortals.
After visiting the land of immortals in the Song Dynasty, Wang Shipeng expressed his admiration, 'Weary of the Western Lake, visitors to the imperial capital seek the land of immortals; Dinghu is preferred. Caves join the dragon's pool with distant clouds, and mountains part for the solitary peak of Yandang.'
The land of immortals is located in Jinyun County, Zhejiang. Known as 'Emperor Xuanyuan's Jinyun, the mortal land of immortals,' the most unforgettable memory for many is the TV series 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy.' Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er from the series are the youthful memories of many.
🌿The number one peak under heaven. The Dinghu Peak scenic area boasts the world's tallest monolithic stone pillar, known as 'the number one peak under heaven.' The base covers an area of 2,468 square meters, the top area is 710 meters, and it stands at a towering height of 170.8 meters, soaring into the sky, exuding a masculine energy. It is a rhyolite plateau formed by volcanic eruptions 160 million years ago, shaped into a spectacular columnar peak by geological external forces.
🌿The Temple of the Yellow Emperor. Within the scenic area, the predecessor of which was the Jinyun Hall, built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Xianhe period. It is said to be one of the three great palaces of the Yellow Emperor, the 'Son of Heaven.' TV series such as 'The Emperor Wu of Han,' 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' 'Swordsman,' and 'Young Detective Dee' were filmed here.
In the entire land of immortals scenic area, only Dinghu Peak requires an admission ticket; all others are free of charge. The ticket price is 95 yuan, and the round-trip cable car costs 40 yuan. After entering, you first pass through a park, cross a bridge, and arrive at the Temple of the Yellow Emperor. After visiting the temple, you can choose to walk or take the cable car to the mountain top. Those with good physical strength can climb up, though the slope is somewhat steep. Standing at the top and overlooking the land of immortals presents a completely different view.

The ancestors sought refuge here at the end of the Tang Dynasty, creating a real-life version of the Peach Blossom Spring
The ancient village of Heyang is located in Jinyun County, Zhejiang Province, and is a very niche and unpopular ancient village that many people may have never heard of.
Few people mean it is not crowded, and even on holidays, there are not too many tourists in Heyang ancient village.
With each discovery of an unpopular ancient village, one less remains, so cherish it while you can.
The history and culture of Heyang Village in Zhejiang have a long and storied past. In 933 AD, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties period, the brothers Zhu Qingyuan, who were the record-keepers of the Wuyue Kingdom, sought refuge from the chaos of the Five Seasons and were enchanted by the landscape of Jinyun Mountains, thus settling here. Since their original home was in Xinyang, Henan, they named the place 'Heyang'.
Heyang ancient village currently has ten major clan manor-style ancient residential buildings and fifteen ancient ancestral halls, the Song dynasty ancient temple Fuchang Temple which embodies the unity of three religions, the 'Eight Scholars Gate' from the Yuan dynasty and the stone 'Xi Han' bestowed by the founder of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in front of the 'Eight Scholars Gate'. There is also the Heyang paper-cutting for window decoration, which is considered a unique art of Chinese folk culture, as well as relics of peasant rebel armies from various dynasties, traditional folk activities with an ancient charm, forming a rare thousand-year-old cultural ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River.

After nearly a thousand years of development, the Zhu family's ancestors have passed down the tradition of farming and scholarship, focusing on agriculture and commerce, producing many talents, and becoming wealthy. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, eight scholars emerged, forming the 'Yiyang Poetry School'.
Moreover, interestingly, the feng shui of Heyang Ancient Residential is also extraordinary, with a water system of one stream and two pits, a village layout of one street and five alleys, still retaining more than ten ancient ancestral halls, the Song dynasty ancient temple Fuchang Temple, the Yuan dynasty Eight Scholars Gate, ten ancient ancestral halls, five ancient temples, and over 1500 old mansions, making one feel the extraordinariness of the ancestors!

During the tour, friends will also discover the extraordinary wood carvings, especially in the , where the design of the ancestral hall took three years in Suzhou, with more than 76,000 tiles used, and over 67,000 carvings, with 72 styles of carved bricks.

|| It makes sense for immortals to gather here for cultivation. Everyone should visit Jinyun Xiandu at least once in their life!
This is Jinyun Xiandu, named after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said, 'This is truly a city where immortals gather.'

👉Little Red Cliff, a steep cliff that resembles the Red Cliff of the Yangtze River. There are inscriptions from the Ming Dynasty on the cliff. From Xiandu View, you can walk along the path under the cliff to the inscription site. Along the way, you can enter the ancient Dragon Plow Road, a natural stone corridor on the cliff, which leads to a place several tens of meters above the ground, overlooking the farmland and lake.

🏃【Visited Attractions】:
1. Zhutan Mountain🐂
The famous photograph of an old man herding cattle that made Xian Du famous was taken here. Many people come here just to take a picture of 'a cow, a dog, and two people' walking on the Dingbu Bridge. Free performances are from 9:30-11:00 in the morning and 14:30-16:00 in the afternoon on weekends and holidays. I also went on the weekend, and to take a great photo, I joined the old masters in the early morning at five o'clock and we split the cost of 400 yuan (including artificial smoke, 300 without smoke). The performance walked back and forth three times for a total of six rounds. When shooting, it is recommended to set the camera to continuous shooting mode, and the best position is under the big tree at Wangfeng Pavilion.
2. Yandang Study📚
Free, opens at 8:30 in the morning, located in a man-made cave on the cliff, with a magnificent geological structure, and stairs distributed above. There is Himalaya audiobook listening, and an open cafe inside. However, the three lotus ponds outside the study really amazed me. The lotus flowers bloom elegantly at seven in the morning (see picture).
3. Dufeng Academy🏚
Located in the Niweng Cave scenic area, accessible by navigation, it is a Song Dynasty-style building. The courtyard is small but quiet, and it is the memorial site of the Song Dynasty Neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi. The entrance is a good photo spot.

🍃 There are many attractions in Xian Du, you can drive into the scenic area, and there are shuttle buses between the attractions. Even if you don't go to the attractions, any riverside is picturesque, and many places are suitable for camping and playing in the water. Here are a few spots I recommend that are worth visiting, all within a 5-minute drive:
.
◻️ Zhu Tan Mountain
🏔️ The main filming location for 'With the Phoenix' and over 500 other films and TV dramas, the scene of an old man leading a cow was shot here, and you can see it around 7:30. A paradise for photography enthusiasts, it is recommended to arrive around 5:30 in the morning to capture the fairyland feeling with the mist swirling around;
.
◻️ Dinghu Peak
💧 Dinghu Peak can be seen from Zhu Tan Mountain, and you can also enter the Dinghu Peak scenic area for an in-depth visit. There is an imperial temple inside, and you can climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the landscape from the Xuxu Pavilion. If you're afraid of getting tired, there is also a cable car to go up and down the mountain;
.
◻️ Little Red Cliff
🌋 A steep cliff by the stream, with the rock wall's reddish-white colors intermingling, looking like a fire has scorched it from a distance at sunset, resembling the Red Cliffs of the Yangtze River. The stone steps leading up to Little Red Cliff are quite steep, so be careful. The view of the scenery below from within the rock wall is beautiful. Near the entrance to Little Red Cliff, the lake surface in front of the Yunli Residence Hotel is very photogenic, and it was one of the shooting locations for Ni Ni's fashion shoot;
.
◻️ Xian Du Temple
⛩️ Connected to Little Red Cliff, you can visit both at the same time. This is the filming location for 'Monk Comes Down the Mountain' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' among other films and TV series;
.
◻️ Ni Weng Cave
🗿 The cave contains over 60 cliff inscriptions from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties, the Republic of China, and modern literati. The nearby Jian San Pavilion is also one of the shooting locations for Ni Ni's fashion shoot;
.
◻️ Jinyun Stone Chambers
🛕 Recommend the developed No. 8 and No. 9 stone chamber studios, which are very artistic for taking photos. You can also read books, drink coffee, and listen to music here;
