What's in Yucun?
There are clear streams babbling, green paths extending along the stream, several lovely coffee shops, purple irises in full bloom, unique bamboo architecture, vast wheat fields, and when it's windy, it's simply a beautiful version of the wind blowing through the wheat waves. Walk a kilometer into the lush bamboo forested mountains, and you can also explore the ancient temples.
At night, the streets are lined with barbecue shops, pork belly, rice cakes, beef, fish, leeks, enoki mushrooms... everything can be grilled, with the rising smoke and heat, and the fresh and fragrant aroma, this is the unique flavor of Chinese fireworks.

If you haven't decided where to go for May Day, why not try Yucun?
Anji Yucun formed a scenic spot because of the "two mountains" theory. The village is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain and the southern end of Anji County, with a total area of about 4 square kilometers. This is the birthplace of the "two mountains" concept, the beautiful rural boutique demonstration village in China, and the core area of the Zhejiang provincial-level "two mountains" rural tourism industry cluster. It is the first ecological tourism and rural resort scenic spot in the country with the theme of "two mountains" practice. In recent years, it has won the honors of provincial 3A-level scenic villages, provincial leisure tourism demonstration villages, provincial red tourism demonstration bases, national civilization villages, and national beautiful livable demonstration villages. It is more suitable for self-driving tours.
According to reports, in the 1980s and 1990s, this mountain village became the "first rich village" in Anji by high-quality mineral resources. Now this mountain village is a beautiful and livable demonstration village in the country. The stone monument at the entrance of the village is engraved with "green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan". It has become a scenic spot for tourists to check in and take pictures. Because it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was no time to go to the scenic spot, and I took a few photos of the flowers and went back.
In 2005, it was proposed here that "green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan", and the development town has been since 2015. Yucun has more than 180 households and more than 1,000 people. It is currently developing well. There are two mountain parks in the village for sightseeing and walking.
The beauty of the ecological environment, green mountains, green waters, green mountains is Jinshan Yinshan.
At the entrance of Yucun Village, the stone carvings with 10 words "green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan" are a must-visit place for all foreign tourists. Walking in Yucun in early summer, where you can see it, the distant mountains are green and the bamboo sea is swaying; the flowers and trees are lush nearby, and the springs are flowing.
