Lishui is truly an underrated treasure city in Zhejiang. I took advantage of a weekend trip to Lishui and was completely speechless with its stunning scenery. It not only houses the legendary Jinyun Fairyland, but also boasts the Jiangnan region's last remaining secret, Songyang Ancient Village, and the stunning Yunhe Rice Terraces. It's truly a treasure trove! My 3-day, 2-night self-driving itinerary Day 1: Jinyun Fairyland ➠ Heyang Ancient Residences (approximately 18.9 km) Day 2: Hengkeng Village ➠ Songzhuang Village ➠ Yangjiatang Village ➠ Songyang Old Street (approximately 16.9 km) Day 3: Yunhe Rice Terraces ➠ Kenggen Ancient Village (approximately 10.9 km) ✅ Must-See Attractions in Lishui 1️⃣ Jinyun Xiandu This is the filming location for numerous martial arts dramas, including "Chinese Paladin." Its natural scenery is breathtaking, and Dinghu Peak and Yandang Study are worth a visit. 2️⃣ Heyang Ancient Residences Tucked away in Jinyun, Lishui, this ancient village features Hui-style architecture. It's not heavily commercialized and retains its authentic charm. 3️⃣ Songyang Ancient Village Referred to as "Jiangnan's Last Secret Spot," this village nestles against a beautiful mountainside, retaining its original beauty. The most iconic attractions are Yangjiatang Village and Chenjiapu Village. After a bit of fun, head to Songyang Old Street for some delicious local delicacies. 4️⃣ Yunhe Rice Terraces Palm-lined fields The Yunhe Rice Terraces are truly picturesque. Be sure to wait for the sunrise there; if you're lucky, you might even see the terraces beneath a sea of clouds. 🚗 [Transportation Guide] Lishui's scenic spots are scattered, with many mountain roads, making public transportation inconvenient. This is especially true for Songyang Ancient Village, a hidden gem hidden in the mountains. Driving is highly recommended. This time, I used Shenzhou Car Rental. It's been recommended to me by many friends, and I'm hooked. They offer a wide selection of models, and there are pick-up and drop-off points at major airports and high-speed rail stations, so you can head out anytime. 🍱Lishui Must-Try Foods ☑️Jinyun Shaobing ☑️Jinyun Tushuangmian ☑️Braised Stream Fish ☑️Lotus Seed Soup ☑️Wangjing Zhuangyuan Cake #LishuiTravel #LishuiTravelStrategy #WhatDidEveryone Do During the National Day Holiday? #NationalDayTravelDiary #AncientVillageBlessedbyTime
