Nanxi River | Top Essence Day Tour of Mountain and Countryside Scenery
Nanxi River, a national scenic area known for its mountain and countryside scenery, is only 50 kilometers away from the highly developed city of Wenzhou, yet it presents a completely different face, like a hermit hidden in the city.
A 3-day tour in winter, although it coincided with continuous overcast weather, making the photos less than ideal, the experience was not diminished, especially when compared to Beijing, the difference in air quality is huge.
The tour is centered around Yantou Town, where I stayed for several days, and you can either drive yourself or hire a car in the town. The 3-day itinerary includes, in addition to Yantou, 7 other ancient villages and 4 mountains, none of which are very strenuous to climb, with each mountain taking no more than 2 hours to ascend and descend
Twelve Peaks
A group of peaks rise up like pillars, crowded and staggered, creating a beautiful disorder;
Cliff Bottom Storehouse
An eighty-meter cliff has a plank road built upon it, as well as a glass platform, which looks dangerous, but is actually not difficult to walk the entire way;
Daitou Village
This ancient village ranks first in my Nanxi River itinerary, sitting under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village, it feels like being in another world.
Linkeng
The most famous and mature ancient village, possibly because I missed the drying season, my experience was not good;
Yubei Village
A very simple ancient village, with the Shangshu Shrine, Yubei Armed Uprising Monument, and many slogans left from the past, witnessing history and time together, ranking just after Daitou Village in my list;
Xikou
Xikou Village produced a family in the Southern Song Dynasty that had 'four generations of scholars from one family', including Dai Meng and Dai Tong, who were famous Neo-Confucian scholars at the time;
Cangpo
The architecture in the village is full of cultural connotations, incorporating inspirations from the Four Treasures of the Chinese study;
Furong Village
Furong ancient village can be described as 'Nanxi River has no art gallery, the village itself is an art gallery', with a pavilion built on the water echoing the distant mountains, showing a spiritual aura.
Shiwei Rock
A giant peak that resembles a ship's mast, hence the name Shiwei Rock, is considered a landmark of Nanxi River;
Longwan Pool
The highlight is the 'Sevenfold Waterfall', with seven pools and seven waterfalls connected, making a spectacular sight;
Pengxi Village
In the village, there is a Kang Le Pavilion, commemorating the villagers' ancestor Kang Le Gong Xie Lingyun, and outside the village, there is a recently popular internet-famous waterfall.
On Yantou Town, there are Ta Mountain Park, a church; Lishui Ancient Street (15 yuan for a ticket, free after 5 pm), all worth a visit.
🎫Tickets: All the above mountains require tickets, some villages also have tickets ranging from 10 to 20 yuan, some are free.
Linkeng is located in Huangnan Township. Linkeng is not a vain name. It has the most complete mountain houses preserved in the Lixi River. They have a history of more than 100 years. The exquisite and transparent wooden houses are hidden in the green mountains and green waters, which are simple and natural.
This scenic spot does not need to buy tickets, you can park at the door, and charge 10 yuan for parking. Except for the inn and farmhouse, there is no overdevelopment. Walk along the fitness trail and go up to Maogong Mountain. You can have a panoramic view of the whole village. It takes about two hours to visit this quiet small village.
A very quiet ancient village, the exquisite and transparent wooden houses are hidden in the green mountains and green waters, simple and natural. The houses built on the mountain are scattered and harmonious. The small bridges and flowing water in the village, the smoke is smoky, and the white clouds are haunting sometimes, making people do not know where they are.
Linkeng Ancient Village was built in the Ming Dynasty. The whole village is basically Maoist and belongs to the family's settlement. It has a history of more than 700 years. The building has a typical southern Zhejiang mountain residents style, so even if there is no autumn, the whole village is also very suitable for hanging out and taking pictures.
Where there are stories, not only Lijiang, but also many beautiful ancient villages in China. They are hidden in a corner far away from the city. They have been waiting for us for decades to discover. Yongjia Linkeng, a small and touching village, she retains the most beautiful appearance, simpler than Lijiang, quieter than Wuzhen, and most importantly, she is very close to us. Linkeng is located in the northernmost Huangnan Township of Yongjia County. From the exit of Yantan of Zhuyong Expressway and along 223 Provincial Highway, the road signs of Linkeng Ancient Village can easily be found. Along the only path into the village, the forest pit is hidden at the end of the stream. Along the mountain road along the stream into the ancient village, along the road, you can see clear mountains and waters slowly flowing down, you can see ducks swimming and fishing in the stream, and a large bamboo forest towering into the clouds on the other side. Slowly into the village, a small corridor bridge into the eye, three or five village names sitting on the bridge to chat, that kind of quiet, let people look particularly warm. Not far from the corridor bridge is a small square, with the word "forest pit" engraved on a huge stone. Looking up, a three-dimensional picture of a mountain village is displayed in front of it. Wooden-structured houses with big red lanterns are scattered and constructed in accordance with the mountains. They are exquisite and exquisite in shape, fluctuating with the mountainous situation, disorderly but natural. The whole village is as quiet as a clear water and as elegant as a painting of ink and wash in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The forest pit is in the north of Nanxi River, which is far away from Nanxi River. But the road is in good condition and there is no pressure to drive by oneself. This is a small village built on a hillside and scattered. Walking in the village makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable. That day, I had lunch in the village, sat by the window, enjoyed the scenery while having lunch. I was really at ease. There are also a lot of inn accommodation, next time you may experience the feeling of staying overnight. Personally, I feel that although the forest pit is far away, it is still necessary to walk to Nanxi River.
In general, the scenic spot is still possible, but one thing that is not good is that it has been marked as an ancient village. Those vehicles should not let them drive in to destroy the scenery. They often want to take some good scenery. There are always modern vehicles with beautiful scenery.
The village is not big, the parking lot is at the entrance of the village, ten yuan a car, and there is a bathroom next to it. Inside, I walked along the river and looked at the original houses. Many of them were changed to restaurants and homestays. The things sold were basically local products, and there was no commercial thing. But wild kiwifruits are really not very delicious. There is a small lake in the innermost part. Now there is less water, so the water surface is very small. You can float and play for a while. There are many villagers' local dogs running around, a little scary
