It's already October, and China is about to enter the most beautiful season - autumn. Not only is the temperature suitable, the autumn is high and refreshing, many places will also put on the most gorgeous coat. The shepherd's flute, the reed flowers flying, the ten miles of osmanthus, the ten thousand miles of fragrance. The lake is blue, the beach is quiet, the melon and fruit are fragrant, the moon is high. Chrysanthemums compete for beauty, autumn wind and red leaves, falling flowers are colorful, and the forest is dyed...... Ejina, Tarim's Populus euphratica forest, Benxi, Xiangshan's maple leaves, Kanas, Jiuzhaigou's beautiful mountains and rivers, Huangling's autumn drying, Wuyuan's white wall and tile green...... These places often appear in everyone's travel list, so it is common for people to be full. "It's not for the scenery, it's for the number of people." "There are more people than maple leaves." Plus, many people like to travel during the National Day Golden Week, and the scene is even more spectacular. In order to let everyone spend a quiet autumn, today I recommend a small travel destination, with few people and beautiful scenery, take advantage of the October holiday to set off! Zhejiang·Lishui Lishui is located in the south of Zhejiang and is known as "the last Jiangnan". It's smart and beautiful, and it's full of thoughts. The autumn of Lishui is quieter, the mountains are full of red, and the forest is dyed. The autumn color in the city is attractive and varied. Look up and it's a painting, look down and it's a poem. The "Yunhe Terraces" that countless people yearn for are here. In autumn, when the rice is harvested, the whole village is bathed in golden light, the cattle plough the fields, the birds sing in the sky, the smoke from the cooking in the distance, and the shepherd boy, as if in a paradise. Lishui has many ancient villages, the most famous of which is Yangjiatang Village in Songyang. In autumn, the persimmon leaves here fall off, and the red persimmons hang all over the branches, forming a wonderful picture with the local yellow mud tile horse head wall. Looking at the simple and warm village, I think of a sentence: The autumn in the village with the smell of fireworks is the most reluctant hidden homesickness in memory.

🌳 Songyang Ancient Town, a secluded place nestled in the mountains~ This place is really famous, so I won't go into details. I mainly want to share my travel experience to help you understand it in advance~ 【Route】 There are many ancient towns here. In order to reserve more time for play, we stayed near Songyang Old Street the night before, which is very close During the May Day holiday when there are many people, the ancient village will be subject to traffic control, and cars are not allowed to enter or exit. You need to take the arranged shuttle bus Songyang Old Street - Ancient Village Shuttle Bus: 20min Yangjiatang Village + Youtian Village + Songzhuang: 3-4h Chenjiapu + Xikeng Village: 2-3h Return to Lishui Station: 1.5h 【Travel TIPs】 💥It is not recommended to go shopping in the old street, it is not interesting, and there is nothing to eat. The Internet celebrity shop has a lot of people, and it is not very delicious, a bit disappointed 💥It is recommended to go to the shuttle bus to queue up early, there are many people, you have to queue for a long time, and you have to reserve time to find a parking space 💥The shuttle bus charges are divided into two, Yangjiatang Village + Youtian Village + Songzhuang, is a line; Chenjiapu + Xikeng Village is another line; we went to Yangjiatang line in the morning and Chenjiapu in the afternoon 💥In fact, the ancient villages are all similar. You can read more guides and choose 2-3 places to stroll around. It is recommended to go to Yangjiatang and Chenjiapu. Others are casual. Many photos on the Internet are taken from a good angle. When you arrive at the site, you can’t find where it is, and there are many people on holidays, so it’s hard to take ideal photos 💥The ground in the ancient village is not easy to walk, there are many people, you must pay attention to safety

Various art exhibitions, reading clubs, artist salons, painting experience classes. So you don't know what surprises are waiting, it may be a drama performance, a talk show of strange talk, a rural drama festival. Experience Get up in the morning and sit at the door, holding a cup of freshly ground coffee, and the busy villagers by the stream in the distance. Suddenly there is a kind of integration into this painting, men farming and women weaving... It's too healing. The rammed earth walls and green tiles of the same color, with the surrounding mountains as the background, if it weren't for the housekeeper's lead, I guess I couldn't find the way through the mountains and forests, it's like the villagers here, it's a good place to find myself and healing in the mountains and wild.

Songyang is a county in Zhejiang province, located in the southeast part of China. It is home to several traditional mountain villages that have preserved their historical architecture and way of life. Our visit to these villages was a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The villages are nestled in the mountains and surrounded by lush greenery, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. We spent our time walking around the narrow streets and alleys, admiring the traditional houses and buildings made of wood and stone. One of the most impressive villages we visited was Tashi, known for its unique architecture and stunning scenery. The village is situated on a hillside and has a distinct layout, with buildings built into the slope of the hill. We also visited Gaojiabao, a village known for its traditional paper-making techniques that date back to the Ming Dynasty. Other notable villages include Nianbadu, known for its rice terraces and water-powered mills, and Wencheng, known for its impressive ancestral halls and temples.

It's really beautiful. 2️⃣ Take the high-speed train to Songyang Station, then a half-hour taxi ride to Yangjiatang Village.

I enjoyed drinking tea and chatting with the owner in the courtyard about village stories. It was so relaxing.

Can you imagine? Beyond the hustle and bustle of the world, there lies a real-life golden Potala Palace—Yangjiatang Village. The journey to this centuries-old village may be a little bumpy. The entrance is bustling with traffic and people taking photos, making parking a headache. In the end, we had to park randomly on the roadside, adding an unexpected twist to our trip. However, this didn't diminish its charm in the slightest. We chose to check in to a homestay in the ancient village, immersing ourselves in the local life. The village isn't large; it takes only an hour to walk around the outer perimeter. But it's worth savoring every nook and cranny, from morning till night. In the early morning, listen to the gurgling streams and the gentle chirping of birds. Strangely, even the cats and dogs are quiet, as if they too are captivated by the tranquility. While there aren't many homestays and farm stays here, the few available meet basic needs. In the evening, mosquitoes came to "join the fun," but as soon as 7 o'clock arrived, a gentle breeze blew, and they vanished as if by magic, leaving only a pleasant evening breeze. The ancient wooden doors in the village are riddled with holes from years gone by. We thought we wouldn't sleep well, but when we woke up in the morning, we all smiled at each other, having slept surprisingly soundly. In the evening, the golden sunlight casts a glow on the earthen-yellow walls, truly giving it the charm of the Potala Palace, so beautiful that it's hard to look away. In Yangjiatang Village, time seems to slow down. Here, you can let go of your busyness and fatigue, and quietly experience the charm of ancient civilization. It's like savoring a vintage wine—the older it is, the richer the flavor. Come here, slow down, and discover your own peace and beauty.

I love Lishui in winter. It's less noisy and more peaceful and tranquil. Itinerary: D1 Dinghufeng Peak. The scenic area is vast, and the most famous photo spot is the stone bridge with the ox. Every hour, two people and an ox will cross the bridge. People on the bridge will be asked to leave, so you can take photos from below. D2 Songyang Ancient Street. My favorite is Chenjiapu Village, a village on a cliff, accessible by a winding mountain road. It's a great place for photos when the weather is good. There's also a popular bookstore in the village that's a must-visit. A scene from Ni Ni's "The Golden Era" was filmed there. D3 Yunhe Rice Terraces. The terraces are irrigated in winter, and you can capture beautiful reflections by shooting from above. The mountain air is fresh, and if you're brave enough, you can visit the suspended viewing platform. It's suspended in mid-air, which can be a bit unnerving.

If this trip, the healing brought by the scenery accounted for 50%, then the other half of the healing, I think, came from the "Ten Bell Mountain Room" B&B in Songyang Ancient Village. "Ten Bell Mountain Room" B&B is a characteristic mountain house built from an ancient village. It is located in the mountains at an altitude of 724 meters. It has a unique scenery. Push the window and you will see a picture of mountains. The room view is super good, the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows not only enjoy the distant scenery, we live on the 3rd floor terrace, after nightfall can sleep on the recliner to watch the stars, simply make me feel back to childhood mattress quilt super comfortable, after bathing in bed can simply fall asleep immediately. The homestay offers home-cooked dishes, which are simple but fresh and non-greasy, with an emphasis on original flavor and endless reminiscence. On the terrace of the bed and breakfast, overlooking the rammed earth buildings, I realized that the ancient village can be so beautiful. I can sit by the window, make a pot of tea, read a book, or do nothing, just sit there quietly, time seems to slow down.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, I longed for freedom. Finally, I had the opportunity to embark on a journey to Songyang, where I strolled through ancient villages, gazed at the sea of clouds, wandered through old streets, and experienced mountain living. This vibrant, ancient land healed my weary soul. I spent two days immersing myself in the charm of Songyang's ancient villages. 📍Lishui, Songyang Day 1: Wenli Songyang Three Temples - Yankeng Lingtou Village - Qingyou Retreat Day 2: Shicang Ancient Residences - Shuangtong Scenic Area - Return Journey (Songyang Station/Lishui Station) 🚗Self-driving is recommended (the villages are far apart, so renting a car or driving yourself is recommended for convenient sightseeing) 1.
