Recommend a less popular ancient town in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai

"Welcome to the home of the mountain god" . 📍Daitou Ancient Village, Yongjia, Wenzhou, Zhejiang . ✨There are no tourists at all during holidays. ✨Hangzhou West Lake 3.5 hours, Wenzhou 1 hour ✨The 700-year-old ancient town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is located in the Nanxi River ancient town group. There are many unpopular ancient towns around it. ✨A great place for a quick vacation with no admission fee ✨The continuous mountains are also suitable for self-driving, hiking and cycling~ . A "spiritual" camphor tree grows wildly in the village Under the tangled tree roots, there is actually a deserted temple! The temple is covered with blood-red paper, candles are burning brightly, and it looks mysterious and spooky... . Most of the temples deep in the mountains that I have visited no longer have incense. I was already interested in the deserted temples and statues, so I stopped for a while in amazement. Just as I was about to leave, a white-haired old man trembled as he walked into the mossy temple gate. He lit candles, worshipped the blurred statue behind the glass, cleaned the temple carefully, and then left with a shady step... . Some people say: "If no one worships the mountain god anymore, the mountain god will disappear." Then the mountain god must still be protecting this Jiuluo Mountain~ Maybe in another 10 or 20 years, this ancient temple will eventually fall into disrepair, but I am glad that I have arrived at this moment. Tickets for the ancestral hall are 10 yuan, but there is no entrance fee for visiting the village.
