Jingning｜Zhejiang's Only Ethnic Minority Area, a Pristine and Little-Known Destination

Today, I’m sharing a little-known city in Zhejiang that you probably haven’t even heard of. ✔️ About Jingning Officially known as Jingning She Autonomous County, it is Zhejiang’s only ethnic minority autonomous county. Although there aren’t many “pristine” scenic spots, whether it’s the ancient mountain village bridges or the rocky streams in the canyons, adventurous travelers will find plenty to satisfy their spirit of exploration🏃‍♀️. What to do in Jingning❓ 📍 China She Ethnic Museum The museum is quite large, housing over 1,800 items including She ethnic costumes, daily life tools, documents, and ritual objects, giving you a tangible understanding of the She people. 💰 Free 📍 Yunzong Daji Daji is located in a high mountain basin at an altitude of 1,030 meters. 🌿 Here stands a 1,500-year-old king of Chinese cedar trees.
