I've checked in at the filming location of 'Legend of Fei' in Lishui, Zhejiang!!! I'm longing for the filming location of Zhao Liying's 'Legend of Fei' in Xiandu! It turns out that the scenes in the drama really exist! It's like a fairyland! - I didn't expect that Zhao Liying's new drama 'Legend of Fei', which I'm currently following, was filmed here!

This is the secluded small town - Lishui, Zhejiang - This place is known as one of the most famous scenic spots in Lishui. Over a hundred film and television works, such as 'Chinese Paladin', 'The Journey of Flower', and 'Swordsman', have been filmed here. - 🚉How to get there 🔸Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Jinyun West Station, which takes 1.5h 🔸After getting off the high-speed train, take the direct bus to the scenic area, or take the No. 5 bus to transfer to the scenic area.

Unexpectedly, in Jinyun, there is a thousand-year-old village bound by clan kinship, where families live together, known as the 'living fossil of ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River'. In Jinyun, the elderly often recite an old saying: 'Having a daughter marry into Heyang is better than becoming an empress'. This place is the Heyang ancient residence. The Heyang ancient residence was built at the end of the Five Dynasties, with a history of over a thousand years. 94% of the villagers in Heyang share the surname Zhu, and they still live together as a clan, passing on the tradition of farming and scholarship. There are ten major clan-style ancient residential complexes and fifteen ancient ancestral halls, the Song dynasty ancient temple 'Fuchang Temple' that embodies the unity of three teachings, the 'Eight Scholars Gate' from the Yuan dynasty, and the stone 'Xihan' bestowed by the founder of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in front of the 'Eight Scholars Gate'. Ancient bridges, agricultural tools, furniture, murals, poetry, plaques, carvings, and the unique Heyang paper-cut window decorations of Chinese folk art, along with quaint folk activities, make up this rare thousand-year-old cultural ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also ten ancient ancestral halls, five ancient temples, and over 1500 old mansions. Walking into it is like traveling through a thousand-year-long scroll of history. The layout of one street and five alleys, one stream and two pits, still retains the design features of the Yuan dynasty. The horse-head walls are towering and imposing, with ancient murals and poetry everywhere under the eaves, and the interior features carved beams and painted rafters, spacious and bright. The most famous building in Heyang is the 'Eight Scholars Gate'. It is said that the Zhu family's ancestors passed down the tradition of farming and scholarship, valued agriculture and commerce, and produced many talents, becoming the wealthiest in the region. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, eight scholars emerged, forming the 'Yiyang Poetry School'. The 'Eight Scholars Gate' was built in honor of this achievement. In front of the gate, there is a pair of headless stone lions, gifts from Zhu Yuanzhang, named 'Xihan', signifying the rarity of a single village producing eight scholars. It is said that in Heyang, any important matter must pass through the 'Eight Scholars Gate', a custom that continues to this day. I highly recommend visiting Heyang. When we went, there were almost no tourists, just locals coming and going. It's perfect for friends who like to immerse themselves in the life of an ancient village.

| 4-Day, 3-Night Itinerary for Xiandu & Lishui. We visited Jinyun Xiandu during the May Day holiday. Though we anticipated crowds, we embraced the "since we're already here" spirit and bravely explored Xiandu with my partner! [Scenic] Fortunately, the trip wasn't as crowded as expected—perhaps because we took it easy and only visited Xiandu and Lishui. [Leaf]Here's our 4-day, 3-night itinerary! [Balloon]DAY1️⃣ 🚄Took an evening high-speed train from Shanghai to Jinyun West, then a taxi to our homestay in Xiandu Scenic Area (there are tons of homestays here). [Balloon]DAY2️⃣ Spent the day exploring Xiandu's attractions, which are arranged in a loop. You can adjust the order based on your lodging location. Since we stayed near Dinghu Peak and Zhutan Mountain, our route was: Zhutan Mountain → Laughing Rock & Yandang Study → Niweng Cave → Dufeng Academy → Little Red Cliff & Big Belly Rock → Xiandu Temple → Dinghu Peak → Yellow Emperor Temple Free shuttle buses connect major sites, but renting an e-bike offers more flexibility. After visiting Xiandu Temple and lunch, we napped at the homestay before heading to Dinghu Peak in the afternoon—perfect for low-energy travelers! [Balloon]DAY3️⃣ Skipped attractions in the morning. The scenic trails were so relaxing that we strolled along nearby cycling paths and forest greenways instead. The forest greenway was amazing—I loved it more than some attractions! At noon, we took a train to Lishui. Transitioning from mountains ⛰️ to city 🏙️ felt like rejoining modern life (Xiandu isn't very convenient). Stayed at Lishui Intime Suites Hotel, right next to Lishui Intime City—super convenient for dining/shopping, with modern facilities. In the afternoon, we walked along Nanming Lake, visiting Yingxing Tower, Chuzhou Ancient City, and its city walls. Honestly, Yingxing Tower was enough. Chuzhou Ancient City seemed like a themed commercial street but felt deserted, with most shops closed—not worth the time. DAY4️⃣ Heading home!

Lishui is truly a hidden gem! This time, under the guise of a family outing, I convinced everyone to travel to Jinyun County in Lishui with one goal—to visit the filming locations of *Sword Snow Stride* and *Joy of Life* and personally ask Zhang Ruoyun: When is the next season coming out?! "Returning from the imperial capital to the immortal capital, tired of West Lake, I gaze upon Dinghu Lake." Only upon arriving in Jinyun did I realize how narrow-minded I’d been—this is the real fantasy world. The second stop of the Wanzi family’s 127th trip—stepping into a fantasy world: Jinyun County, Lishui. >> Transportation: 2-3 hours by car from Hangzhou, or take the high-speed train to Jinyun Station. Shuttle buses to the scenic area run every half hour. >> One-day itinerary: Dadu Rock - Little Red Wall - Dragon Plow Path - Zhutan Mountain Xiandu, anciently known as "Jinyun Mountain," is listed alongside Huangshan and Lushan as one of the "Three Great Palaces" of the Yellow Emperor, serving as the southern center for his worship. Outside Xiandu Village, gazing at the vast expanse of bizarre rock formations, it’s easy to understand why the Yellow Emperor chose this place to refine elixirs and ascend to immortality. ✅ Dinghu Peak A natural wonder formed by a volcanic eruption 160 million years ago, soaring skyward like a rocket and hailed as the "Number One Peak Under Heaven." Standing on Xuanyuan Cultural Street, you can see Dinghu Peak rising abruptly at the road’s end. Even without entering, its awe-inspiring majesty is palpable. ✅ Zhutan Mountain A photograph titled *Fairyland* brought fame to this place, turning the stepping-stone bridge into a viral photo spot. But for those who love landscapes, the real charm lies in the mountains and waters themselves. This was also the filming location for Zhang Ruoyun’s *Sword Snow Stride* and the fictional "Dragon-Tiger Mountain." ✅ Dragon Plow Path A naturally formed, one-person-wide path along the cliffs, where every step feels precarious. This was the route to the Hanging Temple in *Joy of Life* and the legendary spot where Emperor Guangwu of Han narrowly escaped danger before claiming the throne. >> Accommodation: This time, the family stayed at the Jinyun Botting Hotel, where the daytime scenery was mesmerizing, and the nights were vibrant. Even doing homework by the window felt like a treat. √ Specialty Breakfast: The breakfast at Jinyun Botting Hotel is exceptionally thoughtful, featuring a spread of local delicacies—Tushuang noodles, ox blood soup, and qiaorou soup. If you want to taste Jinyun’s specialties without the hassle of searching, this breakfast is the perfect choice! √ Family-Friendly: With a pool and gym for adults and kids to unwind, I could just relax in the room. The second-floor children’s play area kept Wanzi happily occupied with building blocks while we enjoyed our meal in peace. √ Convenient Location: Just 10 minutes to Shizi Street, a hub for local snacks, where evening breezes and delicious food make the calories feel less guilty. A 15-minute drive to Xiandu lets you immerse in the fantasy world. >> Additional Tips: √ Xiandu is free to enter, but a combo ticket (90 RMB/person) is required for key attractions. √ Drivers must register in advance with a local restaurant or homestay for free entry. √ Non-drivers can take the scenic area shuttle or flag down a 5 RMB ride. √ The old farmer and his cattle at the stepping-stone bridge in Zhutan Mountain don’t perform on weekdays. √ Rumor has it all the Jinyun baked cakes in the scenic area share the same recipe—so they taste identical. ⚠️ Dogs are allowed in non-ticketed areas but not in paid attractions. So, we only lingered near Zhutan Mountain and Dinghu Peak, dreaming of the day I "attain enlightenment" and can bring my dog along to bask in the immortal aura—just like the saying goes, "When one achieves the Dao, even pets ascend to heaven."

I recently stayed at Jinyun Susuo Homestay (Xiandu Scenic Area Branch) and had an amazing experience👏! Opened in 2022 with 8 rooms, it's a Ctrip Preferred and Premium Homestay, ensuring quality👍. I chose a mountain view room, and the moment I entered, I was captivated by the large window🪟. The view outside was like a painting - distant green mountains layered in hues, with misty fields resembling a natural ink wash painting. "The most delightful sights are not far away; everything before your eyes is picturesque" was perfectly embodied here. The room was cozy and comfortable, with bedding as soft as clouds☁️ that melted away the day's fatigue. The bathroom was spotless and well-equipped, showcasing the homestay's attention to detail. The service was also thoughtful👌. The staff were warm and friendly, patiently introducing nearby attractions and local cuisine. They promptly addressed any requests. Located right by the Xiandu Scenic Area with breathtaking views, it's super convenient for outings🚶. At dawn, you can watch the sunrise over Dinghu Peak, marveling at nature's grandeur. Strolling through the scenic area during the day, breathing in the fresh air, is truly healing for both body and mind. The price offers excellent value. My stay at Jinyun Susuo Homestay was unforgettable🥰. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat to enjoy the healing embrace of mountain and countryside views, this is definitely a great choice🤗!
