This underrated small city in Zhejiang, I'm afraid once it becomes popular, it will never be able to stay hidden

The treasure small city I discovered this year—Jinyun, nestled among the mountains and waters of southern Zhejiang, is like a piece of jade aged by time, never needing to squeeze into the tourist hot lists to prove its existence. But its charm is too good not to share, after all, here the mountains and waters have already turned the everyday life into poetry, waiting for every passerby to softly read it. 🗺️ Basic Information - Location: Lishui, Zhejiang · Jinyun - Transportation: Jinyun West Station 📍 Two-day Travel Itinerary - Day 1: Heyang Ancient Residences → Xiandu Scenic Area → Jinyun Baoting (Accommodation) - Day 2: Jiaolong Grand Canyon → Lotus Fishing Fun Station → Return Trip 🌟 Highlights 1. Heyang Ancient Residences: Completely untouched by commercialization, the enthusiasm of the old lady at the small shop is warmer than the scenic spots. The smooth stone slab road leads to old buildings full of horse-head walls and exquisite wood carvings, with occasional exhibitions of ancient artifacts, exuding a strong rustic atmosphere. 2. Xiandu Scenic Area: Like an “energy field” full of surprises, this time I visited Zhutan Mountain, Niweng Cave, Yandang Bookstore, and Little Red Cliff. Each mountain, water, and cave has its own charm, all worth exploring slowly. 3. Jiaolong Grand Canyon: A little-known niche secret, the route is filled with mountains, bamboo forests, waterfalls, streams, and cliffs. It is recommended to visit during the rainy season or after rain, when the mountain and water scenery is more vibrant. 4. Lotus Fishing Fun Station: A healing place hidden in the mountains, suitable for team building or relaxing. Order a cup of yellow wine Americano at the coffee house, go fishing by the water, and interact with cute pets—pleasant and stress-relieving.
