🌿 Hidden in Shimen Village, Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, is like an old man sleeping in a bamboo forest, waiting for your visit. Here, 800 years of stories await you. 🌟【Overview】Shimen Village is an ancient village surrounded by bamboo forests, lying quietly at the southern foot of Daleshan Mountain. 🏡 The buildings in the village exude the traditional charm of eastern Zhejiang dwellings, with blue bricks and black tiles, high horsehead walls, built on the mountain, scattered, like a flowing ink painting. 🌈【Features】 Ancient bridges🌉: The ancient bridges in Shimen Village are like witnesses of history, telling stories of the years. The Tiyun Bridge (Five-hole Bridge) is a masterpiece of the Qing Dynasty stone arch bridge, and every stone is engraved with traces of time. Ancient buildings🏚: The village is full of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the "Six Courtyards and One Mansion" ancient building complex takes you back to the slow era of carriages and horses. The plaques of "Dafudi" and "Dengke" bear witness to the glory of Shimen Village. Ancient trees🌳: The ancient camphor trees are lush and green, and the surrounding bamboo and ancient trees complement each other, forming an elegant ink painting. Bamboo sea🎋: The bamboo sea in Shimen Village is not only a gift of nature, but also the stage of the local intangible cultural heritage project "Bamboo Sea Flying Man". 🚗【Transportation】 Self-driving🚙: Navigate to Shimen Village, Xikou Town, and follow the winding mountain road, all the way to the scenery, all the way to look forward to. Bus🚌: From Ningbo Railway Station, take bus 987 or 988 to Xikou Bus Station, transfer to Fenghua 576, or 576-1, 576-2 bus, take you directly to Shimen Village. ⚠【Notes】 Environmental protection🌱: Shimen Village maintains a relatively primitive appearance and has not been overly commercialized. Please protect the environment when visiting, do not litter, and respect the local nature and culture. Safe tour🛡: There are many ancient roads and mountains in the village, such as Zhoujialing Ancient Road, Gaohuling Ancient Road, etc., which are suitable for hiking enthusiasts, but please pay attention to safety when visiting, and avoid entering unopened or dangerous areas. 🌟 Shimen Village, a place where your soul can rest. Here, you can slow down and feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. I hope this guide can become a small guide for you to explore Shimen Village and take you on an unforgettable journey. Here, every second is history, and every step is a story.
