This ancient village in Lishui with smoky green mountains and waters will definitely not disappoint you!
It's no wonder it's on the list of National Geographic's secret places in the south of the Yangtze River!
I came to the place I've always wanted to come to
Unfortunately, it happened to be a cloudy and rainy day☁️
Without the sun, it really affected the photography😭
-
But fortunately, even on a cloudy day☁️
I think Guyan Huaxiang is quite beautiful~
It's suitable for someone like me who likes to find a quiet place to stay
-
The route this time is from the entrance of Guyan
From Baoding Wharf-Guxian Corridor-Tingbu Bridge-Guyan Old Street-Wenchang Pavilion
Basically, it's just a leisurely walk along the way
You can see the shooting location of 'The Little Forest of Two People' everywhere
After all, I have also watched this drama starring Yu Shuxin hh
Walking past the beautiful homestay and under the big tree, it feels so familiar
-
I really like the forest next to the old street of Guyan🌳
It's probably the kind that changes with the seasons
The thousand-year-old camphor tree group will still maintain its strong vitality
-
You can also take a boat from Baoding Wharf to Xiangzhang Wharf
It's part of the painting village
I found a Chinese restaurant for lunch
And then went to Zhangsu to sit and have a coffee☕️
It's also a leisurely autumn and winter trip~

🚗The villages in Songyang are relatively scattered, 🚕 it's recommended to drive or hire a car! For sisters who are not good at mountain driving, it's better to hire a car, the mountain roads in Songzhuang are really narrow! This time I chose a hired car, and met a very reliable driver + guide who can tell you a lot of photo spots, I can recommend to sisters who need it
❌If you're tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not come to Songyang, to the ancient villages to experience this paradise on earth🌸...
Rumored to be the last secret realm of Jiangnan
Speaking of Lishui in Zhejiang, it is not only home to the filming location of the fantasy drama 'Swords of Legends' known as Xian Du, but also the hometown of An Lingrong from the drama 'Empresses in the Palace', Songyang 🌳
A forgotten village sleeps between mountains, rivers, and a sea of clouds. Primitive, simple, and natural, the last secret realm of Jiangnan feels like a paradise on earth 🌴

Quieter than Wuzhen, more rustic than Hongcun, yet missed by 99% of people
In Lishui City, located in the southwestern part of Zhejiang Province, there is a secluded small town that has been classical for 1800 years👉Songyang.
It has been a county since the Han Dynasty and still retains more than 100 traditional ancient villages.
Out of 365 days a year, there are 200 days shrouded in a fairy-like mist, reminiscent of the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming.
It is also called 'the last secret land of Jiangnan' by National Geographic Magazine.
Songyang·Lishui
🌟'The Golden Potala Palace'—Yangjiatang
📍Address: Yangjiatang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County
🚗Transport: About a twenty-minute drive from Songyang county town, self-driving is recommended. The first half of the road is relatively wide, with a free public parking lot midway, and the latter half is narrower, with another free parking lot at the entrance of the village, but it is relatively smaller. During holidays, it can get very congested, so it is suggested to park in the first parking lot. If you're lucky, you might unlock an NPC with a tricycle to take you into the village.
🌟'The Internet-famous village above the cliff'—Chenjiapu
📍Address: Chenjiapu Village, Sidu Township, Songyang County
🚗Transport: More than 30 kilometers from Songyang County, self-driving is recommended. The whole journey is mountainous, and it is also very congested during holidays. It is not recommended to drive directly to the entrance of Chenjiapu Village. You can park midway and walk, enjoying the terraced fields along the way, which is also a pleasure.
