A trip to Lishui is a trip to remember! A city inspired by a song.

Hey guys! 👋 Is there a song that makes you long for the mountains and rivers like a clear spring? When I heard the song "Lishui's Praise" with its simple yet powerful lyrics, I was inspired to visit Lishui in February. Check out my travel guide! 🌆 Lishui Impressions Lishui is like a fairyland on earth, with green mountains and clear waters. In February, Lishui is still cold, but it has a unique charm. The Yunhe Terraces are dreamlike in the morning mist, and the Dinghu Peak in Xiandu Scenic Area stands tall like a giant guarding the land. By the stream in Guyan Huaxiang, painters set up their easels to paint, and the air is filled with the aroma of Jinyun Shaobing and Suichang Sweet Potato. Nature and culture are intertwined, and every corner exudes a unique charm that is intoxicating. 🚗 Transportation Guide ✈️ By Air: After arriving at Lishui Airport, you can take the airport bus to the city center, transfer to a bus or take a taxi, and start your exciting journey in about 30–40 minutes. 🚌 Public Transportation: You can pay for Lishui buses with Alipay or WeChat, which is convenient.
