It's no wonder it's on the list of National Geographic's secret places in the south of the Yangtze River!
I came to the place I've always wanted to come to
Unfortunately, it happened to be a cloudy and rainy day☁️
Without the sun, it really affected the photography😭
-
But fortunately, even on a cloudy day☁️
I think Guyan Huaxiang is quite beautiful~
It's suitable for someone like me who likes to find a quiet place to stay
-
The route this time is from the entrance of Guyan
From Baoding Wharf-Guxian Corridor-Tingbu Bridge-Guyan Old Street-Wenchang Pavilion
Basically, it's just a leisurely walk along the way
You can see the shooting location of 'The Little Forest of Two People' everywhere
After all, I have also watched this drama starring Yu Shuxin hh
Walking past the beautiful homestay and under the big tree, it feels so familiar
-
I really like the forest next to the old street of Guyan🌳
It's probably the kind that changes with the seasons
The thousand-year-old camphor tree group will still maintain its strong vitality
-
You can also take a boat from Baoding Wharf to Xiangzhang Wharf
It's part of the painting village
I found a Chinese restaurant for lunch
And then went to Zhangsu to sit and have a coffee☕️
It's also a leisurely autumn and winter trip~

Songcheng Longquan Mountain Tourist Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Longquan Mountain is the highest peak in the Yangtze River Delta region
Located within the Baishanzu National Forest Park, the Longquan Mountain scenic area is 45 kilometers away from Longquan city center, covering an area of 28 square kilometers. It boasts 200,000 mu of pristine forests, with its main peak, Huangmaojian, reaching an altitude of 1929 meters, making it the highest peak in the Yangtze River Delta. The area is rich in flora and fauna, earning it the reputation of a 'subtropical botanical and zoological treasure trove'. The dense vegetation and forests create a natural oxygen bar, with an average summer temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, making it a cool summer retreat with a highland climate in the Yangtze River Delta.
The most astonishing sight is the 'Cliffside Wonders' with pine trees. These pines are deeply rooted in the solid cliffs, with their rough, gray-brown trunks standing tall and proud, displaying a majestic and spirited posture.
The shapes of the pine trees vary; some stand alone, some in groups of three or five, and others form woods and forests, creating a series of vivid scenes. Longquan Mountain is a very worthwhile place for tourism and vacation.

Hiking distance: About 7km one way, you can take a taxi or bus back to the starting point from Shijing Temple.

located at the border of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, known as 'the thoroughfare for post horses and the throat of merchants and travelers', with beautiful natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage,
especially the celadon and sword cultures of Longquan, which are renowned worldwide.
Staying in Longquan for a few days feels very comfortable and pleasant,
just like the song says, full of joy and happiness, with so much to gain.

An immersive, high aesthetic value town with a sense of time travel, where you can understand the culture of Longquan swords and even dress up in ancient costumes for a time-travel experience.

The West Street, filled with the atmosphere of human life, once carried many historical stories and memories of growth for many generations, is now rejuvenated, ancient yet full of youthful and fashionable vibes. On one side is Sanjiangkou, where Longquan is the source of the Ou River, Min River, and Qiantang River, with the Diezhang Tower on Jiugu Mountain, the Liucha Pavilion on Liuchazhou, and the Huayan Pagoda on Chessboard Mountain echoing each other, a sight too beautiful to describe.

Yangjiatang Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Please heed this advice before you head to Songyang!
Life is about witnessing the last secret realm of Jiangnan at least once, right?
But before you go, there are things you need to know‼️
-
👉 Mode of Transportation
It is recommended to rent a car or drive yourself after taking the high-speed train!
Most of the ancient villages in Songyang are scattered in the mountains, and it often takes 30-40 minutes to drive from one village to another. It's really inconvenient without a car.
There's almost no nightlife
-
The preservation of the ancient villages here is superb, completely different from the temperament of Moganshan and Anji. They usually won't extend their working hours to accommodate your 'city schedule', so if you're looking to experience the nightlife of bars and late-night snacks in the mountains?
This might not be the place for you, please switch to the local mountain dwellers' schedule!
It's too late for anyone to cook dinner for you.
Mountain restaurants close early, remember to eat early, and if it's late, call ahead to confirm, so you don't go hungry. I finished dinner at seven and some owners had already closed (although a certain platform indicated they close at eight).
-
🌿 It's suggested to slow down and deeply experience everything here
If you are a photography enthusiast, you can go crazy checking in at various ancient villages; but if not, don't rush, taking it slow for a deeper experience is better.
-
🐜 Mosquito Prevention
As the weather warms up, it's inevitable to encounter mosquitoes in the mountains, and there might even be more in the summer. If you're really scared of these, it's best to bring along some brave friends, or choose a star-rated hotel for a staycation.
-
🗺️ What to Play (I played these during my 3 days and 2 nights stay in Pingtian Village)
-
✅ Chenjiapu Village: An ancient village on the cliff, Feiwuji B&B Coffee and the Pioneer Bookstore are landmarks (but Feiwuji B&B does not accept non-residents for visits, another cafe is available to go to, the scenery is amazing).
-
✅ Yangjiatang Village: 'The last secret realm of Jiangnan', a popular spot for social media check-ins, with a big tree at the village entrance and curling smoke, very photogenic! But once it became famous, it's no longer a secret, and everyone is queuing up to take photos with the big tree.
-
✅ Pingtian Village: A village above the clouds, so tranquil it's breathtaking, and the mountain scenery behind the village is full of surprises! Staying here for two nights felt like I had the whole village to myself, super peaceful! A place rarely visited by others.
-
✅ Songyang Old Street: A quaint street with many craftsmen and snacks, and the same No. 9 Coffee as Gao Yuanyuan is waiting for you to check in!
-
🌟 Food and Drink Recommendations
👉 Xikeng Village Frog Brother Restaurant (Home-style stir-fry, the taste is amazing!)
👉 Wang's Kitchen next to Songyang Old Street (The stream fish is incredibly delicious!)
👉 No. 9 Coffee on Songyang Old Street (The desserts are top-notch, definitely not to be missed!)
👉 Grandpa's Coffee in Pingtian Village (The view on the second floor is picturesque, a great place to enjoy coffee!)

Songyang, waiting for you to explore‼️

The B&B of my dreams - Taoye is located at the highest point of Songzhuang, a secret land among bamboo forests, I really want to stay for a night if I have time6
Chenjiapu Village
📸The sea-viewing platform for photos of the entire village of Chenjiapu under the sunset P11
📸The second-floor window of the West Pioneer Bookstore is very photogenic P12, the terrace offers a panoramic view, but it's really crowded on holidays, so be warned🥰
📸Don't miss the alley next to the Pioneer Bookstore, it's very photogenic!
📸Feiniaoji Coffee + B&B, located at the top of the village, overlooks the entire village, and you need to book the B&B in advance
🥙Youtian Village
📸The pine trees at the entrance of the village, the reflection in front of the pond, Wuxin Academy, and the tea mountains are all good for photography, and there are really few people compared to other villages
📍Transport
🚄Direct train from Shanghai or Hangzhou to Songyang, or you can drive or take a 🚌 bus.
🚗The villages in Songyang are relatively scattered, 🚕 it's recommended to drive or hire a car! For sisters who are not good at mountain driving, it's better to hire a car, the mountain roads in Songzhuang are really narrow! This time I chose a hired car, and met a very reliable driver + guide who can tell you a lot of photo spots, I can recommend to sisters who need it
❌If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not come to Songyang, to the ancient villages to experience this paradise on earth🌸...

Speaking of Lishui in Zhejiang, it is not only home to the filming location of the fantasy drama 'Swords of Legends' known as Xian Du, but also the hometown of An Lingrong from the drama 'Empresses in the Palace', Songyang 🌳
A forgotten village sleeps between mountains, rivers, and a sea of clouds. Primitive, simple, and natural, the last secret realm of Jiangnan feels like a paradise on earth 🌴
