Fangjiahetou, the last ancient village in Ningbo
Dapeng Mountain hides many ancient villages, and the most famous one is Fangjia Hetou Ancient Village. Before the Ming Dynasty, the village was already in its shape. During the Jiajing period, after the ancestor Zhang Yun of the Fangs ancestor migrated from Henan, his descendants flourished and his reputation rose. The surname became the Hetou nationality. It is surrounded by Lingxu Mountain on three sides. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. The village is flowing down the stream, the groundwater is smooth, and the village is covered with ancient trees. It is stepping into the Hetou and the aura of the landscape is amazing.
Going inside and discovering the difference between Hetou Ancient Village and some other ancient villages. The main street in the village has a passing ancient road, and the house has a layered feeling along the hillside, which is a bit of a taste of a small city. On the working day after the rain, there are few tourists here and there is no commercial atmosphere. Walking on the stone road, as if I only heard the reflection of time. Old street, old trees, old courtyard, old well... "Old" is a basic temperament of Hetou Village, the old leaves are old, the old water is clear, the old street is just old and not broken, the black wall in the gray wall Next, I still live with older people, time, as if I am still here.
The well-preserved buildings in Hetou Ancient Village include the Qing Dynasty House "The History of the Thorn", Fang Lizhong and so on. The "head" of the river head lies in the source, but within the ancient village, but rivers, ponds, and ancient wells abound. Green bamboo rafts, streams and winding around the village, the sound of water is endless, full of mountain spirits. The ancient road of
Hetou Village is a long-established, well-known ridge road, and the ancient roads are everywhere. The ancient mountain roads of the Ming Dynasty, such as Jialing Mountain, Xianxia Ridge and Lanyu, are collectively referred to as the Taohualing Ancient Road, which has become a historical trace of the stop on this time. The Taohualing ancient road is known as the "tea-horse road" in Ningbo, and the hillsides on both sides of the ridge are elegant. "The trees are green, the butterfly dances are flying, the Wanzhi Dancai, the exclusive spring color". The clouds in the mountains are halfway through, the beads are wet and the scenery is good.
Hydrangea blossoms endless summer, there is no such thing as downtown and quiet lanes. Under the rain, it is still purple and red, and a cluster of smashing self-satisfaction. It has become the most beautiful color in the ancient village of the white wall.
Were amazed by visiting this ancient village with my 5 years old son who also liked it very much. Very authentic atmosphere. As it was mentioned below, seems like the time the was stopped over there. Very interesting to take a walk and look around. Old buildings, mountain ( can go up through the forest , there's stone path),living condition of the local people. Also there are many odd trees which grow through the stones and look amazing. There're no restaurants or cafes but a couple of tea houses with the nice mountain view ( but they were closed),also many minimarkets to buy some water or ice-cream. This place worth a visit for sure!!! High recommended.
The ancient town of Fangjiahetou Village may have just been developed, so there are not many tourists, and the commercial atmosphere is not particularly strong. Walking around here, time seems to have become solidified, and you can experience slow life.
It feels very good here. There are many aboriginal people. It is suitable for old-age, vacation and leisure. It is a rare ancient village. The stream on the side of the village is flowing, and you can reach the original ecological natural path on the mountain by the river. There are many persimmon trees in the village for hundreds of years, and the original ecological living state.
I still like the feeling of this ancient town very much, it is very suitable for life, very comfortable.
Hangzhou is 2.5 hours by car. Before entering the village, the tourist center is well built. Parking lots and bathrooms are equipped, and the conditions are OK. There is a scenic spot sign of Hetou Village in Fangjia. Today we are going to hike up the hill to explore the scenic spots of the ancient road. We are going to walk up Taohua Ridge. Uphill is the Stone Road, to the hillside there is a long corridor with wooden flooring, soon the mountain road is a little steep, the ancient road is more damaged, there are rivers flowing in the mountains, Yingshanhong also sporadic open. Mountaineering to Taohualing, there is also the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Taohualing Monument in eastern Zhejiang, there is a blooming Camellia petal falling, in memory of the revolutionary heroes. From the Sanjie Pavilion, you can go down the hill. Along the way, there are peach blossoms burning. The cloudy top of the hill is like a fairyland on earth. There are also some old houses in the village, black tiles and earth walls, wood stacks in front of the house, vegetable gardens and streams flowing from the village. Villagers also wash vegetables grown in their fields in the stream. Free-roaming idyllic dogs ignore tourists who wander in the village. There are two 500-year-old mandarin ducks and camphor trees in the park built in the village. There are also stalls set up by the villagers to buy some local products and snacks. Shop, but also to maintain the simple folkway, simple villagers to our way or more enthusiastic, the village is a free attraction.
The ancient village of thousands of years, the water is still the water of the past, people are modern people, the same is the world, changed only human civilization.
Entering Fangjia Hetou Village gives people a whole feeling of cleanliness. The architectural style of farmhouse courtyards is atmospheric and stable. It is a wealthy village. Walking in the village, you can taste delicious food and appreciate the unique architecture of the ancient village. Because of the rush of time, you can not climb the mountain. Otherwise, you can have a panoramic view of the whole village under the mountain.
The traces of history, walk around, let children understand the history of the past is quite good, life is precipitated by time
