Things to do in Qingyuan

The scenery is stunning and diverse, worthy of being Zhejiang's second highest peak. There are ancient hiking trails, cascading waterfalls, and some modern landscaping. Overall, during the often crowded October 1st holiday, Baishanzu offered a peaceful escape, allowing for a peaceful and tranquil experience of mountain and water views.

Yueshan Village is a place of great natural beauty and cultural prosperity. It has been famous for the "Eight Scenic Spots of Juxi" since ancient times, and each scenic spot has an elegant and beautiful name. Yueshan Village is surrounded by green mountains and the Ju River ripples. There are ten ancient covered bridges on the Ju River, which is about two miles from the beginning to the end of the village. The interval between each bridge is only 20 to 30 meters, so it has the reputation of "Ten Bridges in Two Miles". The original intention of the builders of such densely distributed bridges was not simply to facilitate transportation, but to design and build them as landscape bridges. The beautiful covered bridges and the surrounding landscapes form a tranquil and self-sufficient picture scroll. The pastoral songs, Zen temple bells and drums, small bridges and flowing water, and curling smoke are clearly a paradise. In addition to the "Eight Scenic Spots of Juxi" and "Ten Bridges in Two Miles", Yueshan Village also has many scattered scenes, such as the wonders of Bingjiu, Wu Wenjian Temple, and the King of Cedar Trees, etc. Choosing to travel to Yueshan does not necessarily require sunny and windy weather. Windy and rainy weather is better, and the scenery is more beautiful when surrounded by clouds and mist. In recent years, thanks to the strong support of the government, a large number of homestays and farmhouses have emerged, which have facilitated tourists and helped more villagers get rid of poverty and become rich. There are many small restaurants next to the bridge head of the auditorium. The charges are not high. You can eat some farmhouse dishes and drink some local rice wine. Choose Qifeng Home near Laifeng Bridge for accommodation. You can watch the covered bridge right in front of the window and breathe the air blowing from the covered bridge.

The cable car from the East Gate of Huangshan takes half an hour to get up the mountain. Sitting on it, you can enjoy a clear and direct view of the beautiful scenery below. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the overall effect is very good. It saves time and effort, as well as the physical strength and time of hiking up the mountain. The experience and comfort are excellent.

This stay exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent and convenient; the room was thoroughly cleaned and odor-free; the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, stable water pressure and temperature, and good soundproofing, making it very quiet at night. The staff were friendly and responsive. The breakfast had a good variety of options and was reasonably tasty. Overall, the facilities and service were excellent, and I recommend staying here.

Finally checked out Huangling, and it truly lives up to its reputation as the pinnacle of autumn harvest drying. The ancient Hui-style village, built into the mountainside, cascades down the slopes, with red peppers, yellow corn, and pumpkins spread out on drying racks, their vibrant colors under the sunlight resembling a flowing oil painting. Take the cable car up the mountain and stroll slowly along the Sky Street; the ancient cobblestone alleys and horse-head walls are full of charm. The Huaxi Water Street is shrouded in mist, exuding an ethereal beauty; the view of the terraced fields from the Leixin Bridge is expansive. As evening falls and lanterns light up, the ancient village's night view is gentle and soothing. I recommend visiting on a sunny afternoon when the light is perfect for photography. The village has many steps, so remember to wear comfortable shoes.

Wuyishan truly lives up to its reputation as a World Heritage Site, with its Danxia landforms and emerald waters creating a picturesque landscape. A bamboo raft ride on the Nine Bend Stream offers crystal-clear waters, with towering peaks appearing one after another, while the boatman recounts local legends, creating a tranquil and idyllic experience. Climbing Tianyou Peak, though the stone steps are steep, offers a breathtaking and expansive view overlooking the winding stream from the summit. Tea gardens stretch across the mountains, filling the air with the aroma of rock tea, while cultural stone carvings blend seamlessly with the natural scenery. This place possesses both the natural charm of the mountains and the profound cultural heritage of tea, offering a relaxed pace perfect for a tranquil and leisurely journey, well worth a special trip.

I drove to Longquan Mountain Scenic Area by self-driving navigation. I started to take the cable car at 8:30. It was very stable when I climbed up slowly. It looked very new. I felt very safe for someone who was a little afraid of heights. Then I took the scenic shuttle bus and got off at Huangmaojiandian. It was early in the morning and there were not many tourists. Now it is the off-season, so there is no need to queue up, which is very powerful. I started climbing. Today's hike was relatively easy. I like the steps here. They are very neatly paved and gentle. It took about an hour to reach the highest peak in Jiangsu and Zhejiang at about 400 meters. I walked and stopped, and the scenery was beautiful along the way. Plants such as azaleas and red bean trees are now in bloom, and many bees are collecting honey. The large tracts of Huangshan pine are more spectacular as you go up. Standing on the commanding heights, you can see all the small mountains. As far as you can see, there are rolling mountains, blue sky and white clouds. The temperature on the top of the mountain is only a dozen degrees. Don't be too cool in summer. I didn't choose to return by the same route, but walked towards the source of the Oujiang River. It was a different scenery. I passed by Fengyang Lake, which was very nice. I left the scenic area at about 2 o'clock. If there were more people, I would have played for a whole day. In short, it was worth the trip. I recommend everyone to go there once if they have the chance.

Who wouldn't want to visit Sanqing Mountain! I was lucky enough to arrive on a cloudy day, and the picturesque scenery unfolded like a landscape painting; I'm sure you'll find it captivating and peaceful. Also, the view from Gangshou to Jinsha is truly perfect! I hope to see snow or a sea of ​​clouds next time I come! Last but not least, I'll always remember the dog-friendly areas!

I took a two-day road trip to Lishui with friends. On the second afternoon, we went to Yunhe Terraces. We drove there ourselves, so we didn't have to take the scenic area shuttle bus. First stop: Jiuqu Yunhuan (Nine-Bend Cloud Ring). Vast terraced fields, golden yellow in autumn, absolutely stunning! Second stop: Kenggen Stone Village (Kenggen Stone Village). A centuries-old stone-walled village. And Baiyin Valley. We didn't have enough time, so we skipped Qixingdun.

Absolutely stunning! Hongcun Ancient Village is breathtakingly beautiful. The pink sunset, the tranquil reflection in Nanhu Lake, and the painted bridge standing in the middle of the lake make for stunning photos. At night, as the lights come on, there are painted boats on the lake with fairy dancers performing. We found a good spot early to watch the show. After the dance, there was a fish lantern performance and a parade – so lively! The next morning, we promptly hired a guided tour, which led us through all the famous attractions. A truly worthwhile trip, definitely worth visiting again.
