Autumn Viewing Hotspot Lishui Check-in

Lishui October Autumn Charm Guide: Attend a Golden Feast in Southern Zhejiang When the October breeze sweeps across southern Zhejiang, Lishui sheds the lushness of midsummer and dons its most splendid attire of the year. Golden rice fields stretch like paintings, fiery red persimmons hang from branches, and ancient villages become even more gentle in autumn hues. This is undoubtedly the best choice for autumn viewing in southern Zhejiang. 1. Yunhe Terraces: The Poetic Undulation of Golden Rice Waves - Best viewing period: Mid-October to early November - Key tip: Rice will be harvested gradually from late October to early November. To encounter continuous golden rice waves, plan your trip in advance. - Must-visit viewpoints: The Jiǔqū Yúnhuán Viewing Platform is an excellent spot to capture sunrises with sea of clouds and golden rice waves in one frame; Qīxīngdūn is perfect for overlooking the terraces’ layered elegant curves, fully displaying the earth’s texture. - Photo tips: Walk along the ridges wearing a white long dress, holding a straw hat facing backlight to easily shoot atmospheric masterpieces; use full rice ears as the foreground and shoot from a low angle to blend into the harvest scene; in the early morning when the mist lingers, use a drone to capture the terraces’ staggered layers clearly. 2. Songyang Ancient Villages: Healing Moments with Red Persimmons and Old Houses - Recommended villages: Yángjiātáng Village and Yǒutián Village hide century-old persimmon trees, with bright red persimmons hanging all over the courtyards, creating a charming contrast with the ancient houses. - Best shooting time: 3 PM to 5 PM, when the slanting sun gently shines, illuminating the bright red persimmons and casting warm light on the rustic earthen walls, making the scene especially soothing. - Immersive activities: Buy freshly picked persimmons from villagers, hold the red persimmons and take photos under the ancient trees, full of autumnal warmth; sit on the stone steps at the village entrance with persimmon-laden branches as the background to shoot lively back views; use a bamboo basket filled with persimmons paired with blue tiles and yellow walls to compose shots that fully express the ancient village charm. 3. Yansha Village, Jinyun: The Autumn Palette of the Stone Ancient Village - Autumn features: Among the unique stone house clusters, maple leaves gradually turn crimson, villagers’ drying corn is dazzlingly golden, and traditional autumn drying scenes are full of life. - Must-shoot scenes: At the stone alley entrance, red maple branches peek out from the eaves; framing this shot highlights the beauty of the ancient village blending with autumn scenery; villagers’ bamboo trays drying corn and chili peppers are richly colorful and vivid, like a three-dimensional oil painting; in the early morning, the creek is clear as a mirror, reflecting the ancient bridge and colorful forest, creating an excellent mirror effect.
