Rural Staycation in the Mountain ⛰️
This is the best staycation I had this year and can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to escape from the city for some time! Zhinan is located in the mountains of Lin’an county, part of Hangzhou city. I happened to go there for a weekend during fall and it was much better than what we expected with my friend. This village is so peaceful with epic views on the mountains and paddy fields. Most buildings are guest houses with restaurants whilst others are mostly shops selling local specialities. We stayed at a guesthouse for two nights. Everyone was so friendly there! Every corner was beautiful and the views are so soothing! In need of a dose of fresh air and nature, this is the place to go! 🌿🌳🍃👍🏼
Address ➡️ Zhinan, 指南村
How to go ➡️ My friend and I took a taxi from Lin’an Baolong shopping mall to the village. It took about an hour to reach.

Epic Paddy Field Views in Fall 🌾💛
The paddy fields in Zhinan village were defo the highlight of my fall this year. They’re located right at the entrance of the village surrounded by many viewpoints for tourists. You can walk through the fields and venture further at ease! The views were breathtaking and so worth it! I spent a weekend in the village and explored this part on a Saturday. It was crowded, but this place is so big that you can easily find spots without people to take pictures 📸💛
Address ➡️ Zhinan Village, 指南村

Coffee & Mountain View❓Hell Yes 🧡
On a fall weekend getaway in Zhinan, the one and only coffee shop of the village was so lovely 🍁 It’s at the very beginning of the village and is beautifully decorated with maple leaves in and out! The outdoor seats have a gorgeous view on the mountains ⛰️ It’s also a small business shop where you can buy tea, cute notebooks and a bunch of handmade products such as jewellery, Chinese fans, scarfs etc… Most of the souvenirs are Maple leaf themed with surprisingly, very affordable prices. I bought a handmade Chinese fan, a ring and a pair of earrings for 148¥.
There’s coffee and tea with prices ranging from 20 -38¥. I had the wind leaf latte while my friend had the americano in the morning and white tea in the afternoon. They were all good 😊 The shop owners were so friendly and welcoming 🧡 Highly recommended checking it out!

Famed mountain of Lin’an
#mountainview Popular mountain spot of Lin’an county, DamingShan promises gorgeous views, fresh air and a sound of peace. After the entrance,buses drive you up to the hiking trail. You won’t really hike as there are stairs. You’ll come across caves and cross rope bridges. There are some beverage and snack kiosks at the top, but I’d recommend bringing your own lunch.
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, take the slide all the way down! It’s such a thrill!
P.S: There’s an entrance fee, but I went in April 2020 when access was free. During that time, local authorities were trying to revive inland tourism by offering access to several attractions in Hangzhou city and its surrounding counties free of charge.#mountains#mountaintop#mountainair#mountainescape#mountaingetaway#zhejiang#linan#hiketrip
