Perhaps it is because the halo of 'the last secret realm of Jiangnan' is too dazzling that few people notice Jingning right next to Songyang. It is the only She ethnic autonomous county in China, known as the 'Little Tibet of Zhejiang'. The topography of Jingning is dominated by river valley cutting through mountains, with ravines crisscrossing and peaks clustering, creating many beautiful mountain and river valleys. This is Jingning, the only She ethnic autonomous county in China 🚉Travel Tips: Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Lishui, and the bus station is right next to Lishui station, where you can buy a bus ticket to Jingning Weekend two-day tour recommendation: Day1: She Township Ancient City Although it was built later, it still has certain ethnic characteristics. There are few people in the ancient city, and very few shops are open. Here, clothing rental is 100 yuan with no time limit, and you can bargain during the off-season Day2: The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff of the She Township Window is so spectacular, it turns out that the Sky City in fairy tales really exists! Here, besides taking crazy photos, there are also many entertainment facilities Recommended attractions: 1 Yunzhong Daji - Xiao Zuo Village Check in the thousand-year-old ancient temple 'Shisi Temple' that resembles the Emerald City, then walk to the Xuehua Ji waterfall for great photo opportunities. Continue 6 kilometers along the mountain road to reach Xiao Zuo Village, known as the 'Jiangnan D1 Terrace'. 2 She Township Ancient City It is a newly built ancient city in the county town. The She people worship the phoenix, so it is also called Phoenix Ancient City. There are few tourists here, making it a great place to rent ethnic costumes for a photo shoot. 3 Sky City A resort nestled in the mountains and valleys, you can buy a ticket to visit without staying, and take a small train into the animated world of Hayao Miyazaki. 4 Dajun Village An ethnic ancient village built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'Window of She Township', it is even more primitive and original.

Yunzhong Daji is located in the south-central part of Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, at an altitude of about 1030 meters. It is a national 4A-level scenic area integrating natural scenery, cultural relics, and She ethnic culture, known as the "Peach Blossom Land in the Clouds" and the "Real-life Wizard of Oz." The ancient building Shisi Temple was built in the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1140). It is a national key cultural protection unit, featuring architecture from the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties coexisting, and the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It has no monks or fires, serene like a "real-life Lanruo Temple." The ancient Mei Family Ancestral Hall, built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, is a family ancestral hall using the "reduced column method" to create a spacious hall with distinct local characteristics. The ancient bridges Huguan Bridge and Hu Bridge are Ming and Qing dynasty layered beam wooden arch corridor bridges, with Huguan Bridge featuring a three-story "bridge house" structure and designated as a national protection unit. The natural Xuehuaji Waterfall is one of Zhejiang Green Valley's top ten scenic spots. The 70-meter waterfall is most spectacular before 8:00 AM when the reservoir releases water daily, and after 8:00 AM it becomes an "artificially controlled waterfall." The ancient tree, the King Cedar, is over 1500 years old and one of the tallest and largest cedars in Asia, with a canopy that covers the sky. The terraced fields of Xiaozuo are 6 km from Daji and are known as the "Number One Terraced Fields in Jiangnan," with different scenery in each season. Tickets: Free admission. If you want to visit Shisi Temple and Xuehuaji Waterfall, an adult ticket costs 40 yuan. Opening hours: Open all day; Shisi Temple and Xuehuaji Waterfall are open from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Exploring Jingning – The “Little Lijiang” of the Tujia People 🌿🏯 Hidden deep in the mountains, Jingning offers a serene retreat reminiscent of Lijiang, but with its own unique Tujia charm. This picturesque land features breathtaking natural scenery, a quiet atmosphere away from tourist crowds, and distinctive local cuisine. One must-visit spot is the Pickled Vegetable Village in Jiu Yue: Here, pickled vegetables are traditionally served during afternoon tea, a custom dating back centuries. During festivals, up to 50 different types of pickles can be displayed on a single table, creating a colorful and flavorful feast. Visitors can also experience traditional Tujia wedding ceremonies, which follow a matriarchal system: in weddings, the groom bows while the bride does not, offering a glimpse into the unique cultural heritage of the Tujia people.

Traveling should be about exploring the province, with a fairy wife and a precious child at home. I am Summer Dad, who loves sharing family travel tips. These days I have been sharing travel guides for Lingshui, Hainan. Many friends think Hainan is a bit far. For National Day, if you want to travel around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, today I will recommend this hidden gem in southern Zhejiang—Jingning, Lishui. 🚗 Last holiday, I took my child to hide in the She ethnic minority town of Jingning in southern Zhejiang, with ancient villages shrouded in mist, terraced tea mountains, intangible cultural heritage crafts, and wild mountain hiking. Few people, beautiful scenery, low prices, and an immersive ethnic experience for kids! Here is a 3-day, 2-night off-the-beaten-path itinerary plus a comprehensive family travel guide👇 📍Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province Day 1⃣️ Check in at Nayun · Sky City on the Cliff, experience the family hotel’s rich children’s activities, and soak in a hot spring. Day 2⃣️ Visit She Ethnic Window and Dajun Ancient Town, wear traditional She costumes to experience local culture, and enjoy rafting. Day 3⃣️ Visit Shisi Temple to see the thousand-year-old ancient village and explore Yunzhong Daji to breathe fresh air. 🌿 Yunzhong Daji · The real-life Wizard of Oz ✔️ Take the kids to explore the thousand-year-old village: a 1500-year-old king cedar tree with a canopy that covers the sky, and the wooden architecture aesthetics of Song Dynasty Shisi Temple are stunning. ✔️ Snowflake Daji hike: follow moss-covered stone steps upstream, with a hundred-meter waterfall creating a rainbow—super dreamy. 🌸 In-depth She Ethnic Culture Tour ✔️ She Ethnic Window: go to Dajun Ancient Town, see the lush Song camphor trees, enjoy the She ethnic landscape during rafting, and experience the joy of cascading waterfalls. ✔️ China She Ethnic Museum: wear phoenix costumes with colorful ribbons, learn She language mountain songs, and challenge the whole family to bamboo pole dancing! 📌【Tips】 1⃣️ During National Day, it is recommended to rent a car or drive yourself; attractions are scattered but roads are good. 2⃣️ The mountain temperature varies greatly; prepare windproof jackets and mosquito repellent for children. Compared to popular scenic spots, Jingning feels more like a paradise. My son listened to the wind with his mom under ancient trees in the village and played with stones and water under the hundred-meter waterfall. Touching the heartbeat of thousand-year-old culture with your own hands—perhaps this is the most precious meaning of family travel.

Totally overwhelmed!! It turns out the “Sky City” from fairy tales really exists—right there at the Yun Resort!!✨ This stay completely changed my entire perception of “staying at a hotel.” From the moment I stepped into the lobby, my phone’s photo album exploded📸, memory running low but I just couldn’t stop!! Are you also: ❌ Smitten by photos but worried they’re “photo tricks,” and the place turns out remote and boring? ❌ Wanting to take beautiful photos but worried about crowds and fighting for the perfect spot? ❌ Overwhelmed by guides and unsure which activities are really worth it? This “Yun Cliff Sky City Complete Guide” spills all my three days and two nights of hard-earned experiences and highlights! Helping you avoid pitfalls and find treasures, so you can easily be the coolest in your friend circle!👇 ✈️How to get there? 📍Location: Jingning County, Lishui, Zhejiang 🚄 Highly recommend the high-speed train! After arriving at “Lishui Station” — take a taxi about 1 hour / or use the resort shuttle (remember to book in advance!). ⚠️ Honestly: the mountain roads are winding, so if you get car sick, bring medicine! But once you get off and see the cliff panorama shrouded in mist—it’s totally worth it!! 🏨Where to stay? Room type determines the experience! ✅Must choose: the “Between Cliffs” series! I stayed at “Feiya Ji,” where the balcony opens directly to the sea of clouds and cliffs, as if sleeping between heaven and earth~ No filter needed for photos, and when the morning mist drifts into the room, I literally screamed! ❌Avoid: I don’t really recommend the basic “Valley” rooms, the view difference is huge! Since you’re here, I suggest splurging on a high-altitude room! 📸How to shoot? Tips on spots & outfits 1️⃣The sky pool is a must! Best to go in the morning! Fewer people and great light~ Wear white or bright swimsuits, drone shots come out instantly! Pretend you’re in Bali 😂 2️⃣Cliff ladder: after 4 PM the light is softest~ Wear a long dress! The wind lifting the skirt for back shots is amazing! 3️⃣The cloud-end bookstore’s framed architecture is super stylish, quietly reading and snapping photos brings full artsy vibes~ 🍜What to eat? No food desert here! ✔️Breakfast buffet is super rich! Jinyun sesame cakes, local noodles… carb lovers will be thrilled! ✔️For main meals, recommend the Chinese restaurant “Yunfu,” must-try “Stream Fish Hotpot” and She ethnic tofu stuffed dish! So delicious you’ll lick the plate~ ❌The Western restaurant is average, not worth a special try. 💡Some thoughtful tips no one tells you 1️⃣Definitely bring a jacket! Big temperature difference on the mountain mornings and evenings, who knows how cold you’ll get shooting stars🌌 2️⃣Non-hotel guests can buy tickets to enter, but the experience is much worse! Recommend staying at least one night~ 3️⃣Check the weather in advance! Clear days have a high chance of sea of clouds~ but if it rains lightly, don’t be down, the mist makes it even more like a fairyland! 4️⃣Recommended activities: the mine cave concert hall and immersive theater are must-sees! High-altitude autumn buds… not for those afraid of heights haha! 🎉【Summary & Rambling】———— Honestly, I was afraid of disappointment before going… but a week later, I’m still savoring the healing feeling of drinking coffee☕️ on the balcony at dawn, watching the clouds roll by~ This place isn’t for speed-checking like a special forces mission, it’s for emptying your mind and slowly feeling the perfect blend of nature and design. If life’s wearing you down, why not “throw yourself” into the clouds and lie there for a couple of days~ You’ll thank me when you come back!!❤️

This summer, I finally found my dream vacation spot—"No.8 Hidden Lodge" in Jingning, a boutique homestay reportedly cherished even by designers. Upon arrival, the summer heat instantly melted away. Nestled beside the mother river of Jingning's Hexi area, mornings greet you with a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scents of water and greenery, like tender hands soothing away the heat. By afternoon, sitting under riverside trees, I quietly watched the sparkling water, feeling the restlessness vanish without a trace. As a guest stepping into "No.8 Hidden Lodge," I was immediately captivated by its unique design. Rumor has it the designer crafted this minimalist, free-spirited style—wood and glass perfectly balanced, creating a space that's both airy and cozy. The natural, unconstrained layout never feels cramped, instead empowering both body and mind with a sense of liberation. I brought my family here for this getaway, and it turned out to be a summer paradise for families. Kids laughed and played in the courtyard, connecting with nature and unleashing their energy, while we adults relaxed nearby, savoring rare moments of peace and family warmth. I also heard many companies choose this spot for summer team-building—its spacious grounds host all sorts of fun activities, perfect for strengthening team bonds. This summer at "No.8 Hidden Lodge," I broke free from cookie-cutter vacations and embarked on a uniquely cool, design-rich journey. Highly recommended!

Who understands! Visiting Lishui Nayun Resort for the second time, I actually discovered an even more amazing way to enjoy it than the first time—Miyazaki-style cliff castle 🏰 + 24-hour parent-child fun, the kids played wildly for 3 days and didn’t want to leave, and this tired mom could finally relax on vacation! Here’s a detailed, nanny-level relaxation guide—just bring your kids and go for it 👇 🚂 Day 1: Enter the cloud castle and start the fairy tale mode Check-in Tips: It’s recommended to choose a room in Area A! It’s super close to Yunxian Street, the splash pool, and the coffee bar, so less walking with kids = more energy 🔋! • Little train arrival ceremony: Ride the pink little train “toot toot toot” into the lobby, and the kids instantly become “fairy tale protagonists,” shouting all the way, “It’s like entering a magic school!” 🧙‍♀️ (Missed the on-time train? Just scan the shuttle code anytime, wave your hand and it stops—super thoughtful~) • Inner Earth Jurassic → kids’ scream zone: As soon as you enter the cave, dinosaur roars explode! The kids cling to my leg, scared but curious, and finally dared to touch the dinosaur’s tail (the interactive mechanism is amazing, sound effects + lighting make the dinosaurs “come alive” 🦖)! In the challenge game, the kids tiptoe to press buttons, crawl through caves, shouting “Mom, I want to save the dinosaurs!” and played until they were sweating~ • Cloud Mirror Sky Splash Pool → wild fun at high altitude: A transparent pool on the cliff edge! In the afternoon, sunlight pours down, the water is as blue as a gem 💎, the kids splash around in swimsuits while I lounge at the coffee bar watching the view (coffee + high-altitude view, full healing vibes ☕). • Sandpit → cool surprise: There’s a sandpit hidden deep inside the cave! It’s super cool at 25°C inside, kids walk barefoot on the sand, digging all over and not afraid to get sandy (finally, this tired mom doesn’t have to play in the sun, so touching 😭)~ 🛀 Day 2: Cold springs + arcade games, covering the kids’ “water and fun” Area B Cold Springs → summer water play mastery: • The cold spring pools are super private! Each pool has its own curtain, so while the kids play in the water, I can hide behind the curtain and scroll on my phone (social anxiety mom’s joy 🙊). The water temperature is just right, leaving you refreshed after soaking, and kids who fear sunburn can enjoy “water play freedom” here~ • Play area → energy outlet: After soaking, head straight to the indoor playground! Climbing nets, slides to play wildly, and even better, the arcade + VR experience: kids hold game controllers fighting monsters, wear VR glasses shouting “The dinosaur is going to eat me!” 👾, while I film videos on the side, directly saving them into the “embarrassing history” album hhh~ • Cloud Sea Sunbathing Area → bubble battle: At 7 pm, the bath area instantly turns into a “bubble universe”! Kids chase bubbles, I follow taking photos, and when the flash goes off, it feels like stepping into the magical night of “Spirited Away” ✨ (remember to bring a bathrobe, wrapping up after playing is super warm~) 🐰 Day 3: Cute pets + market, packing the fairy tale to take home • Cute Pet Park → can’t stop petting: Get up early to feed alpacas and bunnies! Kids hold out carrots, alpacas come over to lick hands, the soft touch makes kids laugh like geese 🐇 (remember to bring disinfectant wipes, wiping hands after touching is safer~). • Inner Earth Secret Market → full of artistic vibes: ◦ Moutai Coffee → tipsy happiness: Have a cup of “Moutai coffee,” the coffee aroma mixed with liquor scent, one sip is super relaxing (kids draw She ethnic sachets nearby, a peaceful happiness ☕). ◦ T-shirt Graffiti → exclusive souvenirs: Pick a white T-shirt and draw patterns with the kids, take it home as a “Nayun limited edition,” a huge sense of accomplishment 🎨! ◦ Mineral Museum → niche surprise: The museum at the exit holds various minerals, kids squat down to look at “glowing stones,” suddenly asking “Mom, is this a gem?” curiosity fully sparked 💎~ 🍴 Eating and relaxing guide: worry-free and delicious • Area A Cloud Nourishing Buffet → breakfast feast: Freshly made rice noodles, desserts, fruits… kids run around with plates saying “The breakfast here is magical, it has everything!” 🍳 • Yunfu Chinese Restaurant → local flavors: Must order Lishui tofu and creek fish, fresh and flavorful, kids eat two bowls of rice 🍚~ • Area B Buffet → crayfish freedom: Summer-only crayfish buffet! Spicy, garlic-flavored… kids can’t stop peeling 🦞 (secret tip: go at night when fewer people, you can enjoy the food alone~) • Yuncheng Craft Beer → nightlife surprise: Have a craft beer for a late-night snack, listen to the resident singer playing, kids yawn at the table, and this tired mom finally feels the “vacation vibe” 🍻~ 💡 Must-see tips for bringing kids: 1. Shuttle bus = life-saving tool: The resort is huge, just scan the “call car code” anytime, wave and it stops, so no sore legs after a day of walking with kids! 2. Choose a room in Area A: Close to the core area, kids can rest anytime, saving energy 💪! 3. Must-bring gear: Change of clothes (splash pool and soaking will get you wet), sun hat (still need sun protection outdoors), sand toys (can be used in the inner earth sandpit!), disinfectant wipes (wipe hands after touching pets and playing in sand). 4. Photo spots: Cliff train (aerial shots of the resort are stunning), Cloud Mirror Pool (high-altitude portraits are amazing), Inner Earth Cave (dinosaurs as background, full atmosphere)~ Lishui Nayun is simply a “cheat code” for parent-child vacations 🎠: kids run wild in a fairy tale, moms relax in the coffee aroma, three days and two nights are never enough! Next time, I’ll bring the kids for a third visit and check off all the projects we didn’t finish~ Quickly save this guide, and this summer break, take your kids into Miyazaki’s world!
