This might be a truly underrated small town, yet it is known as the capital of hardware
I thought there were no truly underrated tourist cities in Zhejiang
until I visited Yongkang, Jinhua.
Because there are not many tourists,
the scenic spots are basically open for free,
and the degree of commercialization is very low.
I visited several ancient villages that are quite primitive.
I really like this kind of village where you can stroll around slowly.

Compared to Yongkang's tourist attractions, Yongkang's "hardware" is well-known. I went from Hangzhou to Yongkang specifically to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of Feijian. In the "See · Heart" Yongkang Oriental Aesthetics Space, I felt the charm of oriental tea and saw many exquisite tea sets that I had never seen before. There were even cups used in previous Olympic Games, each with great commemorative significance. Only after a deep understanding did I realize that Feijian has been unique for 20 years. From material selection to the final product, every step strives for perfection. This meticulous craftsmanship makes Feijian titanium cups not only excellent in function but also quite artistic in appearance.

❶ Hou Wu Village (Hou Wu Village)
A very primitive ancient village, the village retains many architectural heritages from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods. You can find traces of history hundreds of years old from the architectural details.
Ps: The scenic spot is in the middle of the village. If you can't find it, you can ask the villagers how to get to the "Wu Family Ancestral Hall".
❷ Nandu Zen Temple
A relatively large temple in Yongkang City, not far from Hou Wu Village, it is more convenient to drive.
❸ Yongkang Little Great Wall
Surprisingly, there is also a Great Wall in Yongkang. It takes about half an hour to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. From the mountain, you can overlook Yongkang City, and the view is quite good. It is recommended to avoid going at noon, as it is too sunny at noon.
❹ Qingbei Library
A free library with a bit of retro decoration. You can go here to escape the heat and relax on weekends. It is also very good for taking pictures indoors. It is a good place to pass the time. It is recommended to go at noon or in the evening.
❺ Zhiying Ancient Town
It is also an ancient town with a long history in Yongkang. Zhiying Ancient Town is slightly larger, and the small attractions are relatively scattered. You can spend more time exploring the small attractions inside. There are many local Yongkang specialties here, such as Yongkang meat pie, tofu balls, etc.
