In the south of Shenli Gorge, the mountains are high and steep, with thick forest and marvelous water around. Birds, animals, and grassland are everywhere with exotic rocks and magnificent falls around. The natural environment is quiet and beautiful and well protected.

When i went to 3D Luoyuan Village to check the painted houses, I was quite disappointed because they were not able to maintain the paintings beauty of the houses in the village. Maybe they should re paint it every year or 2 years. So, before you arrive at Minshengcun you pass by this village and you see colorful houses. You can go around for an hour or 2 taking pictures of the nice paintings and colorful houses. The environement is also very provincial. Fresh and cool air and you can hear birds singing. At Minshengcun, the place is full of Rape Seed Flowers and it gives tourists different locations or areas where you can get juce pictures of the surroundings and also the whole area itself. I was satisfied with the place. thumbs up! #urbanexplorer #eslteacher #tigeryear2022

Address - 成记牛香 吊锅牛骨 Ambiance/Facilities - Hot pot style dining Highlights - nice atmosphere Avg. Price per Person - 100pp Rating - 7/10 On the outskirts of Yiwu , Zhejiang lays the district/town, Pujiang. If you are ever pass by make sure to stop for some local delicacies. This restaurant offers a spacious area with many comfortable seating places. There are many options on The menu, but it was a cold and winters rainy day so we settled on some delicious beef, lamb, meatballs, mushrooms and white carrots. The broth it was cooked in was spicy and added to the flavour of the meal. Everything was delicious and we were ready to face the cold evening after we finished our meal. Warmed from head to toe. #tigeryear2022#staycation

Not far away from Yiwu. Costs about 40rmb to get there by Didi. It only takes an hour or two to walk through the scenic area, but it is still worth going. There is a tea house inside, but it was closed over the spring festival. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing. Tickets are inexpensive (40rmb per person).#tigeryear2022

The Pujiang grape is the most common peak, accounting for 90% of the grape industry in the whole region. Pujiang is also known as the Hometown of China's Jufeng Grapes. The color of the local peak is purple, and the size is not exceptionally large. It is sweet and sweet. Note that it is sweet, not just sweet and awkward. Pujiang has a unique geographical location, with seven mountains, one water and two fields. It has a basin environment similar to Xinjiang's Turpan, which makes the locally produced grapes look bright and of good quality. In addition to the high sweetness, they also carry the heart. The spleen, the grape aroma that reaches the bottom of my heart. By the way, Pujiang grape is still a special offering for the G20 Hangzhou Summit, you can see the quality!

In the winter, hot springs and skiing are the best ways to open. If you touch the snow, it adds a lot of romance. Located at the foot of Xianhua Mountain, the Xianhua Four Seasons Hot Spring in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province is one of the largest comprehensive resort hotels in East China. It is composed of 98 different themed soup pools, which are built into the top spa spa area in Europe and the 12 constellation beauty fragrant flower bathing area.

The car can be driven all the way to the mountain. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot. The scenery here is beautiful and the forest coverage rate on the mountain reaches 88%. The entrance to the scenic spot is a large piece of bamboo, full of green eyes, it is a paradise. The Zhaoling Palace under the mountain has a long history and is a Taoist holy place. However, the original temple has long been damaged. The existing Zhaoling Palace was rebuilt in 1993. The Zhaoling Palace was preceded by the Taoist yin and yang fish pattern, the mountains are misty, and the mountains and the mountains have different climates. When we climbed to the top of the mountain, the fog was almost invisible. On the square in front of the Zhaoling Palace, there are various carved stone beasts. Can you find your genus? The road to the mountain in Xianhua Mountain is divided into the east line and the west line. The large bamboo forest under the mountain is like a fairyland. The Zhaoling Palace is dedicated to the daughter of the Yellow Emperor Yuan Xiu. It is said that she is a monk in the Xianhua Mountain. There are neat steps on the mountain, and the trees are thick on both sides. It is suitable for weekend fitness. To the mountain is divided into two roads, you can choose to walk the plank road or take the sky gate, you can reach the platform of the top of the mountain, we decided to go up the mountain to walk the road, go down the mountain to go to the gate. The road actually encountered a little squirrel, eating tourists to eat the remaining popsicles, it is very cute, we can not bear to disturb the little squirrel, waiting for a long time. But the little squirrel was very vigilant, and we ran away as soon as we approached it.

China's first color village - Luoyuan Village, the wall is colored, come here, as if entering the fairy tale world. There are four seasons of flowers around, such as this peach blossom, flowers open five petals, color for pink, a little cinnabar in the center, to the margin, fine and white, the flower is like silk, with the wind shaking, like the beauty of Jiangnan water town If it is ancient times, it is probably already picked up and inserted in the side.

After walking through the sea of flowers, you will enter the land of Luoyuan Village, where the main theme is 3D painting. This is the first village in China featuring 3D painting. The renovation was carried out in 2015. After the completion, the whole village is like a change. It is vivid and interesting. We have all seen such 3D paintings in big cities, and we have all taken photos and photographed them, but this open-air, still outdoor, is the first time I saw it. The shape here is realistic, the key is not to receive any tickets, for people, it has become the best place to visit.

The Zheng Family Gate of this ancient town lived together and shared meals for fifteen generations across the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.

**Shenli Gorge: Jinhua's Hidden "Little Jiuzhaigou", A Wuxia Film-like Landscape Paradise** **【Emerald Waters & Crimson Cliffs, Naturally Heroic】** Tucked within the mountain folds of Pujiang, Jinhua in Zhejiang lies **Shenli Gorge**—a canyon once praised by Xu Xiake. Its waters resemble spilled jade, pooling into crystal-clear ponds or cascading as milky-white waterfalls. The crimson Danxia cliffs on either side, sheer as if carved by blades, glow under sunlight, transforming the gorge into a qi-filled realm straight out of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, where martial heroism meets ethereal beauty. **【Three Must-Experience Realms】** 🌊 **Aquatic Wonder**: - "Lishui Lake" is so transparent you can count the patterns on pebbles 5 meters below while bamboo rafting. - In summer, "Shenli Waterfall" plunges like a silver dragon, cooling the viewing platform by 10°C instantly. ⛰ **Cliff Marvels**: - Hike the "Eagle's Path" plank road clinging to cliffs, touching billion-year-old volcanic rock folds. - At dusk, "Danxia Sunset" paints the gorge in fiery orange, resembling an alien landscape. 🌲 **Forest Serenity**: - Cross the 7D glass bridge through treetops, overlooking primeval forests 100 meters below. - At dawn, mist shrouds ancient pines and wild monkeys, creating an ink-painting scene. **【Hidden Gems】** ▪️ Rush in 2 hours post-rain to spot dozens of temporary waterfalls cascading down cliffs. ▪️ In November, golden-red metasequoia forests reflect in water like a flaming maze. ▪️ Bring an empty bottle for "Longevity Spring" water—locals swear by its beauty-enhancing properties (pH 7.8, weakly alkaline). **【Practical Guide】** 📍 Address: Lishui Village, Pujiang County, Jinhua (15 mins from Pujiang exit on Hangzhou-Jinhua-Quzhou Expressway) 🎫 Ticket: Peak season ¥60 (includes glass bridge) / Half-price for children 🕒 Suggested duration: 3-4 hours (5km loop trail) 🚶 Route: Entrance → Lishui Lake → Shenli Waterfall → Glass Bridge → Danxia Plank Road → Longevity Spring 🍜 Bonus: Try villagers' ash-broth rice dumplings at the exit—steamed with gorge spring water, sticky with a hint of alkali. **"The ultimate Jiangnan gorge experience—where cameras and lungs get equally intoxicated by oxygen."**

I dare say this is the most "rebellious" temple in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! There is no donation box, no pursuit of incense, and not even a central axis, yet it hides the times of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties in its courtyard🌿 🌟[Why You Must Visit: 3 Maverick Traits That Overturn Perceptions] - Anti-Traditional Layout: More like a village than a temple! Buddhist niches and stupas grow randomly, door gods and festive couplets are mixed with Buddha statues, a "wild" representative of Chinese Buddhist temples. - Anti-Commercial Operation: No donation box or incense altar, free to take photos of Buddha statues, and even a notice "discouraging" tourists from posting videos, extremely Buddhist. - Anti-Fast Food Culture: Monks use old stone tools, bronze bells, and wooden components to decorate the temple. The inscriptions from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties are more complete than in museums. Every shot is a historical depth of field. 📍[Transportation Guide] The Correct Way to Avoid Crowds - High-Speed Rail: Take the train to "Pujiang Station" → take a taxi for 10 minutes to reach directly (about CNY 20). You can smell the fragrance of osmanthus when you get off the train. - Self-Driving: Navigate to "Longtan Ancient Temple" → park in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain → walk 10 minutes on the stone road (the small parking lot in front of the temple has only 5 parking spaces). - Accommodation Recommendation: Stay at "Xianhua Tangong Celebrity Resort Hotel" in Pujiang County. A taxi is CNY 10 direct, and you can also stroll along the Pujiang River night view at night. 🍂[Immersive Experience: 5 Hidden Perspectives to Unlock Zen] 1. Ancient Architecture Treasure Hunt - Focus on the "Ming Dynasty Beam-Raising Wooden Structure" of the main hall: The lotus petal carvings on the Dougong are more delicate than those in the Forbidden City. - Explore the "Stupa Forest": 7 stone towers from different dynasties tell the history of the temple's construction for thousands of years. Taking silhouettes under the sunset is amazing. - Check in at the "Ancient Component Museum": More than 100 Ming and Qing dynasty doors, windows, and column bases collected by monks from the folk, each with a story. 2. Longtan Secret Realm Photography Method - Best Spot: Next to the old camphor tree by the pool, use a telephoto lens to capture the "ancient temple reflection + swimming fish" in the same frame. - Magic Moment: When the rain clears, the pool is surrounded by thin mist, which is very similar to the scene in "Chang'an San Wan Li". - Hidden Gameplay: Bring a piece of bread to feed the koi and watch them gather to form a "red vortex". 3. Temple Life Experience Class - Morning Class Experience: Follow the monks to morning class at 5:30am and listen to the Brahma sounds lingering around the beams (reservation with the guest hall is required one day in advance). - Vegetarian Meal Making: Participate in making vegetarian dumplings every Saturday afternoon, using vegetables grown in the temple as fillings (free, you need to bring your own apron). - Sutra Copying Time: The guest hall provides free rice paper and writing brushes. Copy the "Heart Sutra" under the osmanthus tree, and your heart will be quiet instantly. 4. Healing Moment for Furry Children - Cat Stroking Map: There are 12 rescued cats in the "Meow Meow Courtyard" behind the Main Hall. The orange cat "Dafu" loves to rub people the most. - Dog Escort Team: 3 Chinese pastoral dogs will lead the way to visit the temple. Following "Ah Huang" can find the most hidden ancient stele. - Attention! Do not feed human food. There is special cat and dog food in the temple that can be collected. 5. Four Seasons Limited Romance - Spring: In March, magnolia flowers bloom all over the walls, and white petals fall on the bluestone slabs like snow. - Summer: In June, ancient locust trees cover the sky and the sun. Sit in the cloister and listen to the wind and watch the rain. - Autumn: In October, golden osmanthus covers the courtyard, and you can pick petals to make sachets. - Winter: After the snow, the world is like colored glaze. The red walls and white snow are matched with bronze bells, and every shot is an ancient style blockbuster. ⚠️[Wilderness Guide: These Rules Must Be Kept in Mind] - Incense: No incense is offered in the temple. You can bring your own environmentally friendly incense (the empty tripod in front of the main hall can be inserted). - Dress: Avoid shorts and skirts, and necklines that are too low (free scarves are available for borrowing at the door). - Photography: Buddha statues can be photographed, but flashlights are prohibited. Do not disturb the monks when they are working. - Vegetarian Meals: Meals are served on time at 11:30am. Take as much as you can eat, and use "grateful water" to wash the dishes (there are signs in the temple). 🌟[Travel Easter Eggs] Don't forget to go to the "Knot Place" outside the mountain gate when you leave: - Get a free succulent plant grown in the temple (limited to the first 50 people every day). - Spend CNY 10 to ask for a string of "no donation box" bracelets (all income is used for stray animal rescue). - Umbrellas can be borrowed on rainy days (CNY 20 deposit, which will be refunded when the umbrella is returned). There is no commercial hustle and bustle here, only the sound of wind, bells, and chanting. When your fingertips touch the marks on the Ming Dynasty stone tablet, and when the cat jumps on your lap and dozes off, you suddenly understand what it means to be "sober in the world". If you also want to escape the involution, come here and listen to the ancient temple say: "No need to hurry, practice slowly."

In the gaps of a busy life, I always yearn to find a peaceful place for my soul to rest. I accidentally discovered the Pujiang Bushe Wild Horse Ridge Hotel, as if I had encountered a dreamy old dream of Jiangnan, which I have never forgotten since. Stepping into the hotel is like stepping into a slowly unfolding landscape painting. It is cleverly inlaid between the rolling mountains and the winding and beautiful streams, retaining the original texture of the ancient village. The stone walls and black tiles are scattered in an orderly manner, complementing the surrounding lush forests, bamboos, and clouds and mist. Every corner exudes the charm of time.

After visiting Guoqing Temple, I thought I'd encountered the most unique ancient temple, but just off the highway, I stumbled upon the rebellious Longtan Ancient Temple. · The temple has adopted more than 10 cats and dogs. On the wall, it says, "You can take pictures of the Buddha statues. Feel free to take pictures." "Please visit surrounding temples to worship Buddha. There's no need to frequently visit this temple." On the road, I met a monk who picked a sugar orange right off the tree and gave it to me... I was stunned by this laid-back atmosphere! · My friends all say this place has a Thai feel, with various objects, glazed tiles, and even golden crowns placed everywhere! A wooden cabin serves as a study, where you can settle down with a book and a little black cat🐈‍⬛. This kind of "Buddhist" attitude is truly rebellious. · [Longtan Ancient Temple] 🚗: Pujiang, Jinhua 🚶: 1.5 hours from Hangzhou [Nearby Attractions] Longde Temple Pagoda (featured in "Black Myth: Wukong") 5.6km Songxi Ancient Village 20km
