📍 Jiande, an underrated small city in western Zhejiang Province. 🚄 Only 1.5 hours by high-speed train from Hangzhou, this place boasts picturesque scenery and a wide variety of delicious food! The Xin'an River, Fuchun River, and Lan River converge here, with morning mist creating a wonderland-like atmosphere. The ancient towns with white walls and black tiles intertwine with golden rapeseed flower fields, making every shot a replica of the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" ink painting! • Day 1️⃣: Arrival ➡️ Daci Rock ➡️ Pusu Inn (a good night's sleep 🫧) Day 2️⃣: Departure after breakfast at the homestay ➡️ Yanzhou Ancient City ➡️ Seven Mile Gallery ➡️ Return trip ✅ Yanzhou Ancient City Stroll along the bluestone alleys, check out Jiande tofu buns, Yanzhou baked cakes, and corn cakes.

You can also climb the ancient city wall to overlook the magnificent river view where the three rivers meet. ✅ Seven Mile Gallery The real-life location of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"! Take a boat trip on the river, with poetic canyons on both sides and clouds and mist lingering like "traveling in a painting". ✅ Daci Rock Explore the Hanging Temple, hike or take the cable car to Qingyin Pavilion, the "No. 1 Hanging Temple in Jiangnan". It is half-embedded in the cliff and half-suspended in the air, with both thrills and Zen. • 🛏️ Accommodation: Pusu Inn ◾️ Backed by green mountains and facing the Xin'an River, the design inspiration comes from the minimalist aesthetics of the Song Dynasty! Rammed earth walls, sloping roofs, and elegant ink wash color schemes make every place seem to come out of ancient paintings. The rooms are divided into three buildings: "Fearless", "True Love", and "Wonderful". All 21 rooms have balconies/courtyards, and you can see the river mist and flower fields when you open the window. Even the bathtub faces the landscape. It is simply a real-life Song-style aesthetic paradise~ • ◾️ This is also a pet🐶-friendly folk custom, where you can bring your furry children to frolic on the lawn~ Spring in Jiande is short but extremely romantic. Choosing a homestay that breathes with the mountains and rivers is the soul of the trip! Pusu Inn 🟰 Song-style aesthetics + cultural experience + invincible river view.
