Songyang, highly recommended by National Geographic! This cliffside ancient village is just too magical!

Hey! I discovered a real-life "Castle in the Sky" in Lishui✨ Just a 30-minute drive from the county seat and you can enter this ink-wash painting landscape🏞️ No wonder National Geographic is raving about it! 📍 Check-in spot: Chenjiapu Village, Songyang County (Sidu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City) 🚗 Transportation advice: It’s best to drive or hire a car; the mountain roads are a bit winding but the scenery is totally worth it. 💥 The first sight at the village entrance blew me away! 600-meter cliffside rammed earth old houses🏚️ When the sea of clouds rolls in, it really feels like walking in the sky☁️ Every snap looks like a cinematic masterpiece📸 Best part! So! Few! People! The joy of no queues for photo spots is something only true fans understand! 📸 Must-visit magical photo spots saved for you: ✅ Vanguard Bookstore (Chenjiapu Commoners’ Bookstore) Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A literary paradise transformed from an old granary😍 Sit by the floor-to-ceiling window and read📖 Look up to see layers of overlapping mountain views⛰️ The sunlight streaming in creates such beautiful shadows! (tips: bookstore opens at 10:00 AM) ✅ Viewing Platform Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A free, off-the-beaten-path check-in spot✨ Recommended to come at dusk to catch the sunset🌄 The whole valley turns a shade of orange🍊 Windmills slowly turning in the distance Feeling the breeze and zoning out is just so relaxing~ ✅ Ancient Village Stone Path Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wandering around you’ll find surprises! You might meet a grandma selling wild honey🍯 Wildflowers bloom on the stone steps🌸 Occasional rooster crowing🐔 Time seems to slow down here... 🍜 Foodies must see! Highly recommend this "Noodle Shop" in the village: Happiness for just 25 RMB per person, eating until full💕 Bamboo shoot, greens, and shredded pork noodles so tasty you’ll lick the bowl clean🍲 (Old house can only make 2 bowls at a time, so get there early!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1⃣ Wear light-colored clothes for better photos👗 2⃣ Mountain roads are steep, wear sneakers👟 3⃣ Big temperature difference between morning and night, bring a jacket🧥 4⃣ You can drive to the village entrance before 7 AM After 7 AM, take the shuttle bus (10 RMB including bottled water💧)
