|Linkeng Village: a rough gem in the deep mountains of southern Zhejiang. In the northern part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, there is a 700-year-old village at the source of the Nanxi River. It is famous for its "ancient village, lush bamboos, clear water, many waterfalls and deep valleys" and is known as the "unpolished jade buried in the mountains." Today, this piece of uncut jade has gradually become an internet celebrity because of its autumn drying and has become the "leader" of many ancient villages in the Nanxi River Basin. He is the famous Linkeng Village. 【history】 It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It is the settlement of the Maoxing clan. It is said that their ancestors left their hometown and migrated from Ji'an, Jiangxi to avoid the war, and it has been 45 generations so far. 【geography】 Because it was located in a remote area in ancient times, with lush bamboo and trees, surrounded by mountains on three sides, many streams and deep valleys, and poor transportation, it was called "Linkeng". 【Residential Features】 Linkeng Village is a typical southern Zhejiang mountain dwelling style, with undulating mountains and continuous layers. The village is one of the best-preserved mountain dwellings in Nanxi River. It is simple and authentic, with a wild and natural charm, and it complements the beautiful trees and green mountains around it. 【Autumn Sunshine】 From mid-November to mid-December, the autumn harvest festival is held. The village, the eaves, the arch bridges, and even the streams are filled with agricultural products and local specialties, such as persimmons, peppers, bacon, dried stream fish, dried sweet potatoes, vegetarian noodles, local eggs, soybeans, etc., forming a colorful picture of a bumper harvest. In addition to the ancient dwellings, the natural scenery includes Dadu Rock, Moonlight Cave, Sandie Rock, Shuangzhu Peak, and Sanzhe Waterfall. Camera positions: Chenxiang Covered Bridge, Yong'an Stone Bridge, Yongji Covered Bridge, the best one is Yongping Bridge. You can take aerial photos from the teahouse opposite, which are very photogenic. There are hiking trails in the village that lead to higher hills and overlook the entire village. 🚘Address: Huangnan Township, Yongjia County 🚵🏻‍♂️Navigation: "Linkeng Village" 💵Ticket: 15 yuan, parking fee 10 yuan; 🕰Best season: November to early December 🕰Play time: 1-2h 📣Surroundings: Jijiazhai (the filming location of the web drama "Tian Geng Ji", very remote), Yubei Ancient Village, Xikou Village, etc. 🏡Accommodation: There is an inn in the village.

The Wenzhou people's own autumn drying has quietly begun in this century-old village! It has attracted many tourists! 📍Linkeng Ancient Village ⏰November-December (free from 4th to 9th, admission fee starts from 10th) There is a parking lot at the door, and you can also park on the road! No outside vehicles are allowed to enter the village! It's a short walk, but not long. Those with children can bring a stroller. There are not many steps and the stroller can be parked below. 📸📸Don’t be in a hurry to take photos. The scenic area is not big. If you go there in the morning, you might as well try to walk to the end first and take photos from top to bottom, which may help you avoid the crowds! Best photo spot: Shiban Bridge Climbing up to take panoramic photos is also a good choice! Don’t worry about not having food to eat. This is a scenic spot with many restaurants and homestays. Staying there for a night is also a good choice! The small bridge, flowing water, and people drying the sun in the sun are quite pleasant. Wearing retro jeans for photos really takes off!

Deep in the mountains of Yongjia, Wenzhou, there is the largest terraced field in Jiangnan - Mingao Terraced Fields. In spring and autumn, the ground is covered with gold, golden and brilliant In May, during the Grain in Ear season, the sky and clouds are reflected in the mirror of the terraced fields. What would it feel like to live in such a wonderland and photography mecca? I think Jinli Yunshe will give a satisfactory answer. With an altitude of nearly 800 meters, it is the best viewing point for Mingao Terraces, and the location of the B&B is definitely the center of attention. The owner of the B&B is an avid photography enthusiast and has taken countless blockbuster photos of Mingao. He jokingly said, "I opened a B&B because I wanted to take photos here." It turns out that poetry and distant places, reality and ideals are not contradictory or out of reach. ⭐Style The exterior of the homestay is European-style, while the interior has an elegant Chinese aesthetic, with natural wood tones, a simple and heavy feel, and the fragrance of books and tea lingering around, with a new scene at every step. ⭐Rooms The rooms are named after solar terms and all face the terraced fields and the direction of sunrise. The [Xiaoxue] room we stayed in not only had a tea room, but also an open-air bath and a double-decker independent balcony, which had the best view of the entire homestay. ⭐ Features 🍵Open-air teahouse, ⛰️infinity terrace, 🏊🏻cliff swimming pool, 🚶🏻ladder to heaven, 📷Bird's Nest, etc., each place is a place to check in and take a big photo. Indoors and outdoors, while sipping tea and chatting, you can watch the flaming sunrise, the rolling sea of ​​clouds, and the hazy mist and rain. It is so pleasant. The persimmon trees in the autumn homestay are full of bright red persimmons, which contrast beautifully with the golden and green terraces. 🚘Address: No. 1, Xintian Road, Zhengshan Village, Qiaoxia Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou 🚵🏻‍♂️Navigation: "Jinli Yunshe", 1 hour away from Yongjia County, about 1 and a half hours away from Wenzhou city. 📣Terrace Photography Guide ⭐Photography point 5 has the best viewing angle, and photography point 6 has the highest altitude and a good bird's-eye view. 🕰The best time is the Grain in Ear irrigation season in May and June Tip: The homestay is only 300 meters away from the terraced fields and the best viewing platform, "Photography Point No. 5".

"I say that my superior is like Lingyun, and can make the country like Yongjia" In late autumn and early winter, we came to Yongjia, Wenzhou, and to the Nanxi River Basin. This is the birthplace of Chinese landscape poetry, a secret place that Xie Lingyun, Li Bai and Su Shi all adored. For such a slow-paced and healing place, you should stay at the Jinli Xishi B&B to experience the leisurely and comfortable time spent in the mountains. ⭐Location The B&B is located at the source of the Nanxi River - the northernmost part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, and very close to Linkeng Village which was recently hit by a fire. The altitude of more than 600 meters gives the B&B a sense of isolation from the world. You can avoid the heat in summer and sunbathe in autumn and winter. ⭐Decoration The exterior of the B&B is in a simple Nordic style, while the interior is a fusion of French/Moroccan styles, full of exotic and warm atmosphere. ⭐Rooms The B&B has 13 guest rooms, including the [Gardenia View Deluxe King Room], a 70㎡ suite with a romantic French style. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the mountain moon and pine waves when you open the window. The greenery is lush and you can watch the sunrise directly in the room. ⭐ Public areas 🍜Restaurant, 🍸Bar, 🏊🏻Swimming pool, 🎆Wooden swings are all available The public hall on the first floor is in Nordic style and is suitable for chatting around the fire in winter. The open terrace is decorated for sun drying in the autumn, making it a great place to check in and take photos. 🐱Animal Farm The B&B uniquely raises 2 alpacas, as well as cats, dogs, lop-eared rabbits, hamsters, birds, bantam chickens and other small animals. 📣In addition, the dishes cooked by the auntie in the homestay are really delicious, especially the stewed chicken soup, which is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off when you say it in Shanghai. 🚘Location: Lisikeng Village, Yantan Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou ⛰️Altitude: about 600 meters ⭐Surroundings: Linkeng Village, Yubei Village, Jijiazhai 🚶🏻Location: One hour from Yongjia County, 70 minutes from Wenzhou City, 2-3 hours from Hangzhou.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, consider visiting Yanfu Temple in Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, to experience the timeless Zen ambiance. Yanfu Temple was originally built in the second year of Tianfu during the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties (937 AD) and was initially named Futian Temple. During the Shaoxi era of the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Yanfu Temple. As one of the few remaining Yuan Dynasty structures in southern China, it has been listed as a fourth batch National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the State Council. The temple's architecture is arranged along a central axis, featuring the mountain gate, Hall of Heavenly Kings, main hall, rear hall, and side chambers. The main hall was reconstructed in the fourth year of Yuan Yanyou (1317 AD) and is the earliest known Yuan Dynasty building in southern China. Its double-eave hip-and-gable roof wooden structure is intricately designed with interlocking brackets and beams, constructed without nails or mortise joints, relying entirely on bracket sets for support. This method has kept the structure intact for over a millennium. The addition of arched moon beams between flat beams and golden pillars serves as a stabilizing feature, pioneering the use of arched beams in southern China. The temple holds immense historical, cultural, and artistic value. Inside, you'll find a large iron bell cast in the second year of Song Baoyou (1254 AD), a pair of Yuan Dynasty stone lions in front of the rear hall, and inscriptions such as the "Record of the Reconstruction of Yanfu Temple" by Liu Yan from the first year of Yuan Taiding (1324 AD) and the "Record of Yanfu Temple Reconstruction" by Tao Mengduan from the seventh year of Ming Tianshun (1463 AD). These artifacts quietly narrate the temple's rich history. Here, you can slow down, savor the tranquility and solemnity of the ancient temple, and immerse yourself in the profound essence of traditional culture.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Nanxi River and surrounded by rice fields, this homestay is truly delightful!

It’s easy to lose oneself in the beauty of this rural retreat, as if hidden away in a secluded Jiangnan paradise, free from worldly worries for a few carefree days. The homestay’s farm-to-table dining emphasizes health and sustainability—vegetables from the garden, fish from the stream, and rice grown on-site. The afternoon tea and breakfast are equally delightful. The warm and hardworking housekeeper adds to the charm, proving that diligence is truly beautiful. This idyllic countryside, with its blue skies, white clouds, soaring egrets, crowing roosters, and curling smoke, resembles the dreamlike Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming: "The land was flat and vast, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry and bamboo groves. Paths crisscrossed, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard." Aren’t we all, in our own way, seeking our personal utopia? If rural life and poetry still feel distant to you, why not come to Yongjia in Wenzhou and rediscover the long-lost beauty of the countryside at Valley Origin Homestay by Nanxi River!
