When someone says Ningbo is a "tourism desert", he must not have really appreciated Siming Mountain‼ ️ Siming Mountain has different beauty in each season, especially during November to December every year, when the vegetation and trees on the hills gradually turn from green to yellow and red, with golden ginkgo, orange-brown fir trees, bright red maple leaves... Starting from Shanghai, it takes less than 3️⃣ hours to drive to Yuyao. Heading south, I share my favorite autumn and winter scenery along the 150-kilometer road from Huxi Line to Heliang Line. No need to hike or take tickets, you can easily drive there⬇️ 🧡The Metasequoia forest in Siming Lake begins to change color at the end of November every year. When the weather is good, the lake is as blue as the sea. 💚Siming Mountain Observation Deck, I was initially attracted by the hairpin bend of Siming Mountain. This is a good location for aerial photography, and there are many small reservoirs around it. ❤️Nakamura, a very lively village, the stream is very clean and clear, the most unforgettable thing is that there are several bright red maple trees by the lake 💛Zifeng Village, there are two conjoined thousand-year-old brother ginkgo trees hidden in the ancient village, with fallen leaves scattered all over the ground, very romantic 🧡Maowu Village, in autumn and winter, the hills are a colorful scene, driving on the mountain road is like walking into an oil painting 🌈Tingxia Lake became famous because of a "lonely tree". This year, there are many more pink daisy trees around it. Try not to park your car on the roadside on weekend afternoons, as you may get ticketed. 💛Wenchang Pavilion, free view outside the Chiang's former residence, an ancient bridge outside the Wenchang Pavilion, the perfect embellishment of the ginkgo tree, very three-dimensional against the backdrop of the lake 🩷Xiejieshan Village, a new discovery during this trip to Siming Mountain! Located near Yantou Village, it is still undeveloped and very quiet. You can book a place to take pictures of the autumn scenery.

As soon as autumn arrives in Siming Mountain, it becomes a paradise. Walking on the road is like being in an oil painting, with red maple, ginkgo, persimmon, and osmanthus, the forest is dyed, it is really beautiful to the heart. 🦋 The scenery of this route is very good, it is the first choice for autumn hiking in autumn. The mountains are surrounded by dazzling red maples and rich and passionate money pines. Red maple, ginkgo, pine needles, every step is a scene, everywhere is poetic. . 🦋Route overview: √ The whole journey is 10 kilometers, the essence of Siming Mountain to enjoy autumn √ Enjoy the red maple ginkgo outdoor hiking route √Fallen leaves, red maple ginkgo, colorful Siming Mountain √The whole journey is a wild road but the road condition is excellent, the whole journey is a primitive forest hike √ Liangnong Daga, taste the tip of the tongue on Siming Mountain 🍁 🦋【Siming Mountain Cross Pants】 Difficulty level: 2⭐️ Children's age: Children over 6 years old who exercise regularly .

#fallingforfall Autumn is always my favourite season; staying in China doesn’t offer a long Autumn period with the lack of seasons. Ningbo’s scenery is filled with the oranges and reds necessary to make it feel like Autumn. Simingshan in Yuyao has many routes through the forests and mountains that can be explored. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can do all of these areas over one day/weekend. #tripblazers #mountainview #nationalpark #urbanexplorer

A ticket here cost 50RMB for the 5 areas of the park (see map photo) we managed to see 2 areas of the park. The first part we went to was Siming Lake, walking around here is relaxing and took us around 1 hour. We then took a 1 hour walk north to the higher area, starting at 6944 restaurant and leading to the waterfalls. This is a 40 minute walk from start to end on a jagged rock path. Be prepared. The nature is wonderful, could easily make a day of the trip and see more areas. All the areas are within walking distance to each other. Take food with you as there aren’t many places to buy except for the main ticket entrance (our first stop). #mapletrees #hiking #nationalpark ##scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #momentsmission

Persimmon Valley - DanQiu Gu ( Aiming Mountain) Nice getaway from the city to this lovely hiking trail and spot... great views, relaxed atmosphere, loads of mosquitoes though.. haha.. but worth it...

‼️Highly recommend this hiking route just over 2 hours from Shanghai - an ancient Shuangxi water trail with babbling streams, small waterfalls💧, large waterfalls, and small pools along the way! Extremely few people‼️ Truly a scenic stream route with minimal crowds!!! Really!!! Those wanting to cool off can walk barefoot👟 in the small pools - super refreshing and comfortable! The water is crystal clear~ so fun! Crossing the pools via bamboo bridges is delightful! You can even spot small fish and shrimp in the transparent waters! Perfect for family trips - kids will love catching fish😂! Pass through dense bamboo forests, woodlands, and tea plantations. The lush vegetation keeps the trail pleasantly cool, ideal for summer escapes! The entire route is well-marked without any challenging paths - effortless💪~ On the 6pm drive back to Shanghai, we caught a breathtaking sunset! Surrounded by mountains, you can fully appreciate the beauty of the setting sun~ the evening glow was spectacular! 🏔️Route: Hongling Ancient Trail Shuangxi Water Loop 📍Location: Yuyao, Ningbo 🌟Difficulty: Easy 🔦Total length: 10.13 km ⏰Duration: 3h44m 🌟Departure Guide: 🚗Drive to Leishi Temple in Chejiu Village, Yuyao (parking available). There's a clean restroom at the parking lot.

I'd heard about the newly opened Guantang Hotel in Yuyao, Ningbo for a while. With its abundant experiential activities, especially intangible cultural heritage programs, I'd been wanting to bring my kids here. Finally made it happen last month. Those familiar with Kaiyuan Group know their Guantang brand represents mid-to-high-end properties with strong local cultural characteristics, often featuring heritage architecture. The Yangming Guantang in Yuyao is no exception - it has three completely restored ancient buildings (now named Gengdu Hall, Sixi Hall, and Chengqing Hall), while other structures follow Huizhou architectural style for a uniformly vintage vibe. But heritage doesn't mean kid-unfriendly! Our two-day itinerary kept us entirely within the hotel yet constantly engaged - the best part? Adults didn't get exhausted. Arrived at noon for check-in. Got upgraded to a loft room - spacious, clean and super comfortable. Received two complimentary photo experience vouchers at reception (including styling, outfits and 2-hour photoshoot). First stop: the hotel playground. They have both indoor and outdoor options - we chose outdoor for more sunshine. After playground, took the adjacent rice field train ride and tried fruit picking. Dinner around 6pm at the hotel restaurant (you can request shuttle service if unfamiliar with routes). Did my research - their vegetables mostly come from their own garden, very healthy. Next morning had breakfast buffet at same restaurant - impressed by their selection of local intangible cultural heritage foods. 10am: Mr. Fu's heritage architecture lecture. Understanding the stories behind these exquisite buildings made them even more precious - like a mini research trip 😄 Then tried lacquer fan painting and Liangnong rice cake making - got to bring our creations home! Lunch at the hotel's Yaowei Noodle House, famous for their yellow croaker noodles. Service was slow but staff explained each bowl is cooked fresh by the chef - the deliciousness made up for the wait! Headed home in afternoon, but if you have time, the hotel pool (opening end June) would be perfect for relaxation.

Route: Chenjia'ao Road—Zhangsun Village—Li'ao Village—Waxberry Forest—Highway—Stone Steps Up the Mountain—Wangxi Pavilion—Gangdun Village—Instagrammable Windmills—Tanao Ridge—Gangdun Village Tips: Both the convenience store and vending machines are located in Gangdun Village. The waxberries or bamboo shoots sold in Gangdun Village aren't cheap, but drinks and water at the convenience store are reasonably priced. The highlight of this hiking route is the white waxberries. Unfortunately, this year's waxberry season has basically ended, and white waxberries are nearly impossible to find. Luckily, we still managed to find one tree bearing white waxberries. As it's the tail end of the season, most berries on the mountainside trees were naturally withered. Later in Gangdun Village, we saw large waxberries being sold, so besides Cixi's small waxberries, there might also be larger Xianju-style waxberries here. Next year's waxberry season is definitely worth revisiting. If the rural scenery of Zhangsun Village and Li'ao Village possesses an unpolished natural beauty, and the windmill area offers a romantic countryside charm, then Tanao Ridge—the highest peak in Cixi—presents a vast Chinese landscape painting. The entire route is about 12 kilometers with over 500 meters of elevation gain, slightly more challenging than beginner level.

"Green mountains share the same clouds and rain, the bright moon was never of two lands." Who would have thought that this Jiangnan town, seemingly a thousand miles away, is actually just half a cup of tea's distance from Hangzhou? Departing from Hangzhou East Station, a mere 30-minute high-speed train ride traverses the Hangzhou-Shaoxing plains, leaving the urban jungle behind as you embrace the lush green mountains. When the sign for Yuyao North Station comes clearly into view, your heart is already intoxicated by the vibrant life of this eastern Zhejiang town. 🌆 Half city, half landscape, an eight-thousand-year cultural legacy Yuyao Station is nestled in the heart of the old town. Stepping off the platform, the five stone arches of Jiwei Bridge resemble a rainbow spanning the water, with carvings from the Daoguang era clearly visible in the sunlight. Hailing a pedicab, the Wu-dialect greeting "Shall we go?" instantly transports you to a slower pace of life. A ten-minute walk west brings you to Wang Yangming's former residence, its white walls and black tiles quietly unfolding before you. In 1472 (the 8th year of Chenghua), Wang Yun (later renamed Shouren) was born here, and because his grandmother dreamed of "auspicious clouds delivering a child," the building was named "Rui Yun Lou." Today, the ginkgo tree in the courtyard stands tall and graceful, its swaying shadows seemingly still echoing with the timeless wisdom of "extending innate knowledge." Longquan Mountain, the city's natural bonsai, takes just fifteen minutes to summit. Pushing open the creaky wooden door of Zhu Shunshui Memorial Hall reveals a portrait of this Ming Dynasty scholar who traveled to Japan, hanging solemnly in the main hall. In the Yuyao Museum on the mountain, carbonized rice grains from Hemudu have rested quietly for seven thousand years. As we savor the sweet-and-sour waxberries, do we realize this land has nurtured civilization for over eight millennia? 🗻 Deep in Siming Mountains, a geological epic Taking bus 201 up the winding mountain roads, the layered peaks of Siming Mountain appear and disappear in the mist. When you spot the wooden sign for "Shiziku," you know you've reached the secret heart of Siming Mountain. This is poetry written in geological wonders. The ochre-red cliffs of Danshan Chishui are masterpieces of Cretaceous crustal movements, their sheer faces pocked with caves as waterfalls plunge into emerald pools. Geologists say the Danxia landforms of Sichuang Rock are rare south of the Yangtze—the red walls blaze like fire at sunset, earning them the local nickname "Flaming Mountain." Come early summer, waxberries steal the show. In Sanqishi Town's orchards, branches bend under the weight of glossy black "water chestnut" variety berries. 🍜 When appetite calls: Flavors along the Yao River As dusk falls over Yao River, the old town's culinary senses awaken. Strolling along North Binjiang Road, the savory aroma of yellow croaker noodles wafts through wooden lattices. At Heji Noodle House, the master chef deftly slides two small croakers into boiling broth, where the flesh curls like blooming petals amid floating preserved mustard greens. At forty yuan a bowl, it's an affordable taste of East Sea flavors dating back to the Qianlong era. For indulgence, "Xian De Lai's" premium yellow croaker noodles are worth a special trip. Using three-pound wild croakers, they take only the two choice cuts below the gills, their soy-sauce-enhanced umami exploding on the palate. The owner thoughtfully provides hot towels, advising: "Save the head for last—that's where all the flavor is!" Paired with oil-braised shrimp and poached chicken, with the Yao River murmuring outside, it's easy to imagine the 1989 heyday when Taiwanese businessmen flocked here for "Asia's best noodles." Late at night, Aqiang Niuwe remains lively, with beef bone hotpots bubbling over charcoal. Crispy beef aorta and tender beef testicles accompany locals chatting in Yuyao dialect over yellow wine. Since the Western Jin's "Records of Culinary Treasures" documented local foodways, Yuyao's fermentation-heavy culinary philosophy has flowed in residents' veins. 📅 A weekend where wilderness meets urban warmth 🌅 At dawn: Take intercity train S2205 to Yuyao Station (departing Hangzhou South 7:58, arriving Yuyao 9:47), then a pedicab to Wang Yangming's residence. Climb Longquan Mountain to Zhongtian Pavilion, where Wang lectured for three years—even the mossy steps exude scholarly refinement. 🌇 Before sunset: Bus 201 to Siming Mountain. In October, admire golden larches at Shiziku; in June, pick waxberries in Sanqishi. The geopark's basalt platforms always welcome, with Danshan Chishui's sunset best enjoyed with persimmon wine. 🌃 At nightfall: Return to old town's Sunhang Lane. Jianlanyuan's braised pork with preserved vegetables glistens, while fermented tofu with minced meat bewitches with its unique aroma. Post-dinner Yao River walks reunite you with lanterns reflecting on water—the same moonlit scene from seven centuries past. 📌 Pro tips: Collector's weekend guide 🚇 Transport: Multiple daily HSR from Hangzhou; Ningbo intercity trains accept QR codes (Ningbo departures 7:27-19:15, last train S2214 at 18:40; return trains 6:38-18:01, last S2103 at 17:19). 🏠 Stay: Yao River homestays offer bridge views; "Lost Villa·Valley House" in Siming Mountain boasts 270° vistas and infinity pools floating above clouds. 🎁 Souvenirs: June's waxberry season brings plump, small-pit "water chestnut" berries; off-season options include "Country Girl" pickles and Lubu peanut candies for quick soups or tea snacks. As return train S2211 departs at 14:38, new-green rice fields scroll by outside. Heji's noodle broth still perfumes your takeout bag, while waxberry juice stains napkins purple. A local elder hums Yuyao opera tunes beside you, lyrics carried on Siming Mountain breezes. Yuyao Station shrinks to a dot in the distance, yet the flavors linger on your tongue. True satisfaction lies in weaving urban warmth with natural beauty, anchoring body and soul between each taste, each view, each thought.
