If you can't get rich overnight, then freely wander in the ancient village of Xinye

I learned about Xinye ancient village from the variety show 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', and I really like and long for this kind of idyllic rural life. However, the 68 yuan ticket price scared me away. This time, when I went to Jiande to experience the 'smoke and islets' town from Tang poetry, I discovered that Xinye was nearby, so I finally arranged a visit. Researching travel tips before setting out is quite useful. In fact, you don't have to buy a ticket if you don't enter the small scenic spots, but you can't enter through the main gate. Park your car near the Xishan ancestral hall, where there is no parking fee, and from there you can walk into the village. Every ancient village has a large pond, from which many alleys diverge. Walking among them is like chasing the stories of time. There are not many tourists, and most of the original residents are elderly. Nantang, Tuanyun Tower, old houses and deep lanes, bluestone roads, and those leaf-shaped door latches are the real characteristics and highlights. The ancient village, over eight hundred years old, with its original residents living inside, is natural and serene. The places that charge fees are just some old houses, which, after seeing many, all look similar, so there's no need to go inside for a visit. What I can't understand is why good things have to be fenced off and charged for. If it were free, it would naturally attract people, and with tourists, there would be a need for food and accommodation, and they would buy some local products. Wouldn't that earn more? The shortsighted behavior of some is really detestable. The village has farm stays and snacks, so there's no need to worry about food. From mid-March, the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, which is also the most beautiful time for Xinye ancient village. It's time to set off!
