Crowded at Xian Du? Try the nearby Heyang Ancient Residences!
I originally planned to visit the Xian Du scenic area, but unfortunately, there were too many tourists. I didn't want to spend the whole day in line, so I stumbled upon this ancient village. It is currently the largest in scale, oldest in history, and most culturally profound of its kind in the Jiangnan region.
The ancient architectural complex, covering 0.4 square kilometers, allows visitors to appreciate the thoughtfulness of the scenic area. Even during holidays, it is not overcrowded, offering an excellent experience. The area is not only rich in historical and cultural atmosphere but also offers a variety of activities, such as paper-cutting, embroidery, calligraphy, Wuyi opera performances, and water screen movies. I feel that the 40 yuan ticket is well worth the price.

Heyang Ancient Residences attractions:
✔️Xu Zhu Ancestral Hall, Wen Han Ancestral Hall, Qi Ru Ancestral Hall, Zhu Da Ancestral Hall, Gui Er Ancestral Hall, He Gong Special Ancestral Hall: Inside the Heyang Ancient Residences, there are still ten major clan-style ancient residential buildings and fifteen ancient ancestral halls. Currently, six halls are open for visitors, which require a ticket for entry. I also happened to encounter a Wuyi opera performance at the Qi Ru Ancestral Hall, which was quite novel.
✔️Xun Gui Ying Yue: Suzhou-style garden, the quadruple circular corridors give a sense of roundness and layers.
✔️Horse Head Wall: 32 horse heads in various shapes, the ancient buildings and small bridges are very photogenic.
✔️Geng Zao Yi Feng: The scene of celebrating the Chinese New Year in a quadrangle courtyard was featured in the 2015 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

✔️Gong Ji Bridge: A national key cultural relics protection unit, this majestic stone arch bridge is a must-visit.
✔️'Only This Heyang' Cultural and Creative Store: The products are very creative. I bought a fridge magnet as a souvenir, and the creative ice cream here is also very good.

In spring, one can take a leisurely stroll through the ancient town
🎐 Lishui has a lesser-known ancient town, Heyang ancient residences, not many people know about it, so not many people visit it either~
🎐 You might not encounter many tourists when you enter, but rather the elderly locals living there, giving off a very genuine atmosphere~
🎐 Walking into such alleys, quiet and serene, it feels as if you've traveled through time, allowing your soul to settle and quietly feel; although it's not bustling, it has inherited a thousand years of cultural history~
🎐 There are several notable sights in Heyang ancient residences: the round moon gate of 'Following Rules and Stamping the Moon', the horse head wall clusters, the Eight Scholars Gate... all worth a visit~
🎐 Heyang ancient residences are almost zero commercial, it has a sense of isolation from the world, very suitable for taking photos with a sense of nostalgia, if you come to Lishui, you might want to take a look~

Wander at will, depending on your mood!

Jinyun Xiandu || It makes sense for immortals to gather here for cultivation
|| 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.' It is also the filming location for many TV shows and movies like 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy.' With green mountains and clear waters, I recommend you to come and embrace nature. It takes about a day to walk around. If you have enough time, you can stay overnight and experience it fully.

From Xiandu View, you can walk along the path under the cliff to the inscription site.

If you say the beauty of Lishui, Jinyunxian must be famous on paper, and the beauty of Xiandu, especially Dinghufeng and Zhutanshan. It is said that this is a network of more than 300 film and television dramas. The core attraction is Dinghu Peak, which is not only the largest stone pillar in the world, but also the symbol of Xiandu. The point of the card is recommended by Zhutan Mountain, which is also the peak of Dinghu Peak. Best place

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River has been really cold lately,
Cold outside, cold inside, cold during the day, and even cold when sleeping...
So I decided to go to the mountains to have a look,
I didn't expect the scenery in the mountains to be so beautiful!
Because there is no wind, it feels warmer than Hangzhou,
You can drive there directly, almost without the need to hike,
I found a little-known ice viewing spot in Lishui Jinyun.
-
Seeing the ice covering the mountains, I was truly amazed,
Ice trees, ice plum blossoms, ice vegetables, ice bamboo leaves, ice pines...
The entire village was covered in a layer of silvery white,
Taking photos was incredibly beautiful and very pleasing to the eye!

📍Address: Yanxia Shitou Village, Jinyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang
🚗Driving navigation: Yanxia Shitou Village
Ps: The last few kilometers of the road have fallen leaves and branches, be careful to avoid them, and also pay attention to oncoming traffic, as the road is narrow and not very good for passing cars. Try to set off in the morning and return in the afternoon, so it's less likely to encounter passing cars.

The ancient village in Zhejiang, with a history of six hundred years, possesses both poetic charm and the warmth of everyday life
Many people are familiar with ancient villages, places with profound cultural history and architectural customs. Whenever you visit an ancient village, you can escape the hustle and bustle and experience an unprecedented sense of comfort.
So, what are some well-known ancient villages? Currently popular ones include Jiaju Tibetan Village in Sichuan, Baihaba in Xinjiang, Muliyuzhen in Anhui, Suosong Village in Tibet, Qiqian Village in Inner Mongolia, Yubeng Village in Yunnan, Dazhucun in Fujian, Xuhuadi Ancient Village in Zhejiang, Dongchudao Village in Shandong, Qidacun in Fujian, and other areas are worth visiting.
So, where should you go if you want to visit an ancient village with poetic charm and the warmth of everyday life? It is recommended to visit the ancient village in Zhejiang, which has a history of six hundred years and is known as a 'paradise on earth'. You can take a leisurely stroll when you have free time!
The village in question is Yanxia Stone Village in Zhejiang. According to historical records, the village was established in the third year of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty (1402). It is named 'Yanxia Stone Village' because it is located under the towering and precipitous Baizhang Rock Mountain. It is highly recommended by CCTV and 'China National Geographic'!
The village currently has over 200 stone houses, mainly two-story stone-wood structures. The roofs are gable roofs, the outer walls are closed, the inner spaces are open, and there are courtyards in the middle, showing the typical architectural style of the central Zhejiang mountainous area. Representative buildings include the 600-year-old Xiyuan Old Residence, the 400-year-old Shangjian Yanming Hall, the 200-year-old Twenty Jian Head Ming Hall, and the 100-year-old Xinwu Ming Hall, all of which are ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty courtyard buildings that reflect the legacy of the old clan culture.
Upon arriving in the village, you can immediately feel the simple atmosphere. The elderly, thousand-year-old Taxus chinensis, ancient arch bridges, soft stone rivers, ancient tea roads, houses built with natural stones... All these elements seem to naturally form a beautiful picture!
The ancient village is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are no internet celebrity shops. Although it has been developed into a tourist attraction, there are still no takeaways or foreign businesses. Free, few people, remote, quiet, and peaceful are still the current state of the village!
Once you start exploring, fresh air greets you. Stone houses, stone walls, stone doors, stone windows, stone steps, stone railings, stone paths, and stone bridges are all built with stones, creating a natural stone world. It is truly a unique gem in the ancient villages in the mountains.
What touches the visitors the most is that the ancient village still retains the simple and natural appearance of the village in their minds. There is no obvious commercialization. A small shop is just for the convenience of the villagers' daily life, not to meet the needs of tourists.
As you walk on the stone road, you can clearly see the traces of the years. Occasionally, you may meet elderly people strolling in the village. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere calms people down.
As you walk towards the mountain top after a short rest, the sound of the babbling stream is the loudest music in this ancient village. The stones that have been exposed to the wind, sun, and rain for hundreds of years are exceptionally smooth and elegant.
At this time, a friend asked, the description can imagine it as a 'paradise on earth', but why is it said that it has poetic charm and the warmth of everyday life?
It turns out that the ancient village is nestled in stones, giving people a solid sense of security and an ancient sense of mystery. In the village, you can see grandmothers eating at the door, uncles and aunts chatting together, grandparents picking and peeling crops, grandfathers making handicrafts in front of the hall, black dogs walking in the streets... There are also pickles and tofu drying in front of the houses, fish swimming in the fish ponds, flowers blooming by the roadside, stone walls blackened by smoke, walls covered with moss... Everywhere presents a peaceful and tranquil scene of good times!
If you like to check in at scenic spots, you can focus on Fengxi Bridge, Zhu Clan Ancestral Hall, Bottom Ming Hall, Twenty Head, Lower Dao Altar Residence, Putong Ridge Ancient Road, and other highlights.
If you like food, you can try tofu, in the village, every household has dried bamboo shoots and jarred tofu in front of their houses. There are not many businesses here, a few self-produced and self-sold small shops support the entire village, which may be the characteristic of this village.
