Zhuge Bagua Village

After deciding to find a midway stop to rest for the night on the way back, I chose this place. Since it was night when I arrived, I couldn't see much and only felt that the ancient town was very quiet, without the noise typical of tourist areas, and surprisingly there were no tourists during the Qingming holiday. It wasn't until the next morning when I stepped out of the guesthouse that I was truly captivated by the beauty of this ancient village. It was only while wandering through the streets and alleys that I learned this was the filming location for 'The Great Ming Under the Microscope'. 📢 Attraction Introduction: ⭕️ Zhuge Bagua Village is the largest known settlement of the descendants of Zhuge Liang to date. ⭕️ Originally named Gaolong Village, the village is shaped like the bottom of a pot, with the middle low and the surrounding areas high, forming a pond at the center. This is the core of Bagua Village and also the base point of the 'Eight Trigrams Formation'. Half of the pond is water, and the other half is land, resembling the Tai Chi symbol. ⭕️ Centered around Zhong Pond, there are eight alleys extending outward, leading directly to eight earthen mounds outside the village, resembling the eight trigrams. ⭕️ Zhuge Bagua Village in Zhuge Town not only has a unique layout, but the ancient residential buildings in the town are also very rare. The town was originally built during the Song and Yuan dynasties, with subsequent additions and renovations, reaching its peak during the Qing Kangxi and Qianlong eras. ⭕️ The town preserves more than two hundred ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. At its peak, there were eighteen different types of ancestral halls in the town, most of which were ornately decorated. The Grand Hall and the Prime Minister's Ancestral Hall are among the most outstanding. ⏱️ Recommended duration of visit: About 3 hours 🎫 Ticket information: 85 RMB per person ⏰ Opening hours: 07:30～17:00 🅿️ Parking information: There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area, 10 RMB per time 📷 Recommended spots: 1️⃣ Zhong Pond: Half water and half land, with two wells in the middle. This is the very pond featured on the poster of the TV series 'The Great Ming Under the Microscope'. 2️⃣ Prime Minister's Ancestral Hall: The hall contains many Dongyang wood carvings, which are exquisitely crafted and lifelike. The hall's wooden beams are carved with scenes of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, as well as Lei Zhenzi and Yuwen Chengdu. It is said that the villagers handed over the ancestral hall to the government to be used as a granary, and the sculptures were preserved to this day by being wrapped in lime and mud. 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: We stayed at 👉 Lanxi Yuzhan Guesthouse The landlord said that the guesthouse was his family's ancestral home, with a pharmacy and a pawnshop, probably the most beautiful guesthouse in the village. The guesthouse is quite large, even with a swimming pool, which must be very enjoyable in summer. Oh, and the guesthouse is one of only two places in the entire town that sells coffee. 🥗 Dining recommendation: Due to the town's pristine nature, there aren't many dining options, and the taste is more or less the same. 👉 You can try the Old Street Restaurant ⚠️ Notes: 1️⃣ It is recommended to hire a guide for explanations, as it is an ancient village with many interesting stories; 2️⃣ Good food and drink are unlikely, as there is basically no commercial development, and there were hardly any tourists even during the Qingming festival, so you might want to try your luck during the May Day holiday; 3️⃣ After business hours at night, you can drive directly into the village parking lot and park for free

| Autumn is in full swing. Beyond the bustling exterior of Zhuge Bagua Village lies the ancient town With white walls and black tiles, and houses along the flowing water Time to take note, how to enter the scenic spot for free!!! Tickets for Zhuge Bagua Village are 90 yuan on the day of purchase, and 85 yuan if bought in advance. In reality, it's just a village, and personally, I'm not very interested in architecture or old houses. However, I know that places like this, where the scenic spot and the residents are not completely separated, usually have a free entrance. I casually asked the restaurant owner during lunch, and sure enough!!! Ladies, follow my route, first navigate to 'Zhuge Middle School', and then at a three-way intersection before reaching the middle school, turn right for the middle school, and turn left for the parking lot shown in picture one After strolling around, I feel that this lunch was worth it. Honestly, if such a scenic spot charged me 90 yuan, it would feel like a bit of a rip-off, as there's not much fun inside, maybe I just don't appreciate it Lastly, I went during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays in 2023. I was able to get in smoothly during this 8-day holiday, so I believe the supervision is even less strict on normal days. Sisters who want to visit Jinhua, come and take advantage of this
