The filming location of the golden years, a summer retreat, a heavenly abode

After deciding to take a trip on a whim, the destination is Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, which is known as a classical Chinese county specimen, the last secret realm of Jiangnan. Ancient villages such as Chenjiapu, Xikeng, Yangjiatang, and Songzhuang are all popular destinations for rural tourism. You say that the water there is sweet, the air is also sweet, and even the fragrance of the flowers is sweet. All the flowers bloom for you, and all the scenery is arranged for you. Chenjiapu Village in Sidu Township, Songyang County, is located at the head of Dazhong Mountain Fortress. In the early days, a family with the surname Chen built a grey shop here to raise ducks for a living, hence the name Chenjiapu. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a family with the surname Bao moved from Wuyi County, Jinhua City, bought the Chen family's fields, built houses, farmed, and gradually formed a village. Chenjiapu Village has become a high mountain village dominated by the Bao surname, but the village name has not changed and is still called Chenjiapu. Songyang County's Dazhong Mountain has an altitude of 1129 meters, with mountains layered upon each other. When clouds and mists rise, Chenjiapu Village is nestled in the dark mountains, high up in the sky, beautiful like a fairyland. Surrounded by continuous mountains, side by side like a natural barrier, they protect this ancient land. The village blends with the mountains, forming a beautiful painting, and Chenjiapu Village is the finishing touch in this landscape painting, like a pearl set in the mountains. In ancient times, there was a shop every 30 li in Songyang County. The ancient post road from Songyang County to Wuyi County passed through Chenjiapu, and troops were stationed here during the Qing Dynasty to defend the area. It has a long history of more than 640 years. The entire village is high in the north and low in the south, with houses built against the mountain, layered upon each other, forming a cliff dwelling village. Terraced fields, bamboo forests, ancient trees, and mountains surround the old houses, with mottled yellow mud walls recording the slowly passing mountain life, preserving the traditional village layout and appearance. With its beautiful scenery and unique charm, it attracts more and more tourists to visit. Chenjiapu Village, with its unique natural scenery and profound cultural heritage, attracted the attention of the 'The Glittering Years' crew. On August 2, 2020, the 38-episode series 'The Glittering Years' completed filming in Chenjiapu Village and held a wrap-up ceremony here. Celebrities like Ni Ni, Liu Shishi, and Chen Daoming have left their footprints here. The ancient architecture of Chenjiapu, the bluestone paths, the quiet alleys, and the stories that flow through the years, all infused this TV series with rich historical emotions. During the filming, the crew lived harmoniously with the local residents, jointly experiencing the charm of Chenjiapu. They communicated with the local villagers, understanding the local customs, and cleverly integrated these elements into the plot, making 'The Glittering Years' not just a series about urban emotional stories, but also a cultural work full of regional characteristics. Now, when the people of Lishui mention this series, they will remember the story-filled and emotional Chenjiapu. Walking through the stone paths and alleys between the yellow mud walls, time flows, and space traverses. You say, you don't want to leave, you just want to stay, become a hardworking village girl, stay with the fields and the village, let time also slow down, work at sunrise, and rest at sunset. Raise a group of cats and dogs, as well as a flock of chickens and ducks. Grow vegetables, herd cattle, and make the three meals a day you most want to eat, unconcerned with the hustle and bustle of the city.
