The first stop of the Spring Festival trip: A place rated by National Geographic as the last secret place in Jiangnan, Yangjiatang Village in Songyang County, Zhejiang Province. It takes a narrow mountain road from the county town to the village. When you are close to the village, there is a parking lot at the location of Figure 13. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Yangjiatang Village from here (mostly uphill). It is recommended to drive directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the village. There are not many parking spaces, all parked along the road, try to drive in as far as possible to walk less (the road inside is easy to jam, and it is not easy to miss the car, if you are afraid of trouble, just park in the parking lot of Figure 13) Yangjiatang Village is a terraced ancient village. At the entrance of the village is the "couple tree" that everyone checks in. The light and shadow are charming, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, revealing the "golden Potala" scenery.

The first one is Songyang in Lishui, a city in Zhejiang that I have wanted to go for a long time but have never been to. The ancient villages in Songyang are really unique in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai! The camphor tree in Yangjiatang is really a place where every photographer can't help but take pictures. The stone bridge in Songzhuang Village has been on the cover of 'China National Geographic'. And the Pioneer Bookstore in Chenjiapu, you read books, and outside the window is a sea of clouds, that feeling is really too wonderful! In addition, Xikeng Village is a real village in the sea of clouds, and Hou She Village is also a secluded and isolated ancient village. There are many other lesser-known ancient villages, it can be said that the ancient villages in Songyang are absolutely quiet and beautiful! Xuanya Temple Village, not only often surrounded by a sea of clouds, but also has a very suitable mountain road for self-driving. Baocun under the mountain, with a very heavy history, the village is also very quiet, Liang Sicheng and his wife called it a paradise! Yuyuan Ancient Village, with exquisite architecture, is also a place worth strolling around. And not far from the county town, Jingyuan is also a good place to appreciate Ming and Qing ancient houses. The owner here bought 87 ancient houses from Shexian and other places and built the current Jingyuan. This is also the filming location of 'The Most Human Fireworks'.

This time, three ancient villages were visited in particular: Songzhuang Village, Yangjiatang Village, and Chenjiapu Village Today, the focus is on the century-old village 'Yangjiatang Village' It is also the filming location of the popular drama 'Two People's Small Forest' . Location Yangjiatang Village is located in the deep mountains, public transportation is not very convenient to reach, self-driving is most recommended, you can drive to the parking lot at the entrance of the village, tourist buses can only stop a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village; Attractions ■The two most famous photo spots in Yangjiatang Village, one is the two camphor trees with a history of more than 500 years, a classic shot that has been on the 'National Geographic' is in the early morning, when the morning light is sprinkled, the old man leads the cow under the camphor tree, if you want to take the same kind of photo, you need to stay in the village overnight and get up early; .Another famous photo spot is the viewing platform to see the whole view of the ancient village, when the dusk light comes, the yellow walls and black tiles become golden, highlighting the rustic and quiet beauty of this century-old ancient village; Yangjiatang Village

| Known as the "Golden Potala Palace", how beautiful is autumn. The setting sun shines on the yellow earth walls, dyeing the entire village golden, hence the name "Golden Potala Palace". To be honest, there is really no comparability between the terraced layout of the ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River and the Potala Palace. The person who came up with this name is really a genius at naming, attracting waves of tourists to check in, and the tourists are bustling in every corner of the village. However, the commercial facilities in the village cannot support such a large flow of people, and the lack of stopping points causes the tourists to always come and go in a rush. Walking around the village, I saw the local villagers picking tea. Tourists drink coffee, chat, and peek into the lives of the villagers, but all of this seems to have no effect on him. Photo spots: 1 The couple tree at the entrance of the village. The iconic spot of Yangjiatang. When there are more tourists, there is even a business here to provide smoke for photo check-ins, but we didn't encounter it. This place is really photogenic, "Two People's Small Forest" was filmed here. There are so many people taking photos and checking in that they have to queue up. 2 The viewing platform opposite the village. You can overlook the orderly layout of the entire Yangjiatang. The foreground is a small tea garden, where we saw the old man picking tea. 3 Song Clan Ancestral Hall. There is a family tree in the ancestral hall, and the villagers of Yangjiatang are actually the descendants of the great scholar Song Lian of the Ming Dynasty. There is a very magical point, the villagers of Yangjiatang are basically surnamed Song instead of Yang. Just like the villagers of Chenjiapu are surnamed Bao instead of Yang Detailed address: Yangjiatang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province Play time: Half a day is enough for play time, it is best to go in the afternoon Recommended reason: In Yangjiatang Village, where there is no three feet of flat land, there are more than 20 old houses of the Qing Dynasty with earth and wood structures.
