🏞️ Shishe Village is the most remote administrative village on the Fuchun River, and it is also a village filled with ancient charm🏡. Although the village is small, it has a history of 400 years. Its name comes from the fact that villagers live in houses built with stones, hence it is called Shishe Village. Attraction Information: Address📍: Shishe Village, Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province Transportation🚗: Self-driving is recommended, 2h from Hangzhou 📸Travel Tips: 👉 Follow the main road along the river, turn right after seeing the bridge and walk another 100 meters, and you will see a village square. Walk another 50 meters, and you will see a mailbox, which is your destination. Here you can find architecture from the Ming and Qing periods, horse-head walls, grey tiles and white walls, with bamboo and mountains in the distance forming a stark color contrast. 👉 Shidun Bridge is right on the main road by the river. At the second intersection, you will see a stone arch leading downwards. Go through it, and you will arrive at the riverside, where you can see the village's second Shidun Bridge. Many tourists play in the water here, especially children who like to have water fights. It is also a great spot to stand on the stone piers for photography, as you can capture a reflective effect. 👉 The stone arch tunnel is right behind you, very cool, and can create a profound feeling in photos. 👉 To view the entire ancient village from above, you can drive to the entrance of the village and follow the main road upwards, where you will find a parking lot. After parking, you can stand there and see the entire ancient village. This position is the best spot to appreciate the traditional Ming and Qing architecture of the ancient village, where you can see grey tiles and white walls contrasting with the green bamboo in the distance. 📝Experience Review: At first glance, the entire ancient village is built on a mountain, close to the water. The color of the stream is as beautiful as jade, and looking up, you are surrounded by lush greenery, with clear water that you can see to the bottom, and some shallow beaches, making it very comfortable and relaxing. 💭Travel Thoughts: Shishe Village is really a great place to relax. Walking in the alleys paved with bluestone slabs, it feels like you have stepped back in time. Ancient residences, ancestral halls, and archways, each place is a witness to history.

Day1️⃣: 🍇Morning: OMG Heartbeat Amusement Park (Family ticket for 2 adults + 1 child: ¥891) Boat ride into the karst cave ➡️ Magic carpet uphill ➡️ Glass skywalk ➡️ QQ Speed racer ➡️ Pegasus ride ➡️ Drift downhill. Popular attractions had almost no queues—finished in 2.5h, then headed back to town for lunch. The whole experience was delightful; definitely worth revisiting if there are no lines ✅ ‼️Heads-up: For parking 🅿️, DO NOT follow the elderly directing you to the left-side lot at the entrance. Instead, follow the signs to the official park lot (¥10 flat rate). We were misled by locals to park left for ¥20 over 2.5h. 🍒Afternoon: Daqishan National Forest Park Child ticket (valid for all students): ¥21 | Adult ticket: ¥40 (purchased). Saw crystal-clear waters and koi fish, but the muggy weather had everyone sweating buckets. Skipped the Jungle Flyer sled and walked downhill—super quick. Day2️⃣: Shishe Village Heavy rain and mist created surreal mountain views—a rare sight. Only walked a short stretch of the Maling Ancient Trail due to the downpour, then cozied up in a café watching the rain before heading back at noon. 🍉Overall, off-peak travel made for a fantastic experience. 🏠Stay: Hilton Hampton Tonglu Fuchun River—excellent service, cleanliness, and breakfast. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍜Eat: Tried several trendy restaurants—lightning-fast service, but flavors weren’t our preference. Only standout was a beef noodle shop on Yaolin Road 👍. Fresh mung bean cakes were delicious, and "Strong Brother’s Scallion Pancake Roll" was aromatic 👍.

#discoverchina Although there was a big temperature drop and rain, I was a little hesitant at first, but to my surprise, the beauty of Tonglu in the rain was absolutely stunning. Definitely worth the trip! Transportation There are two high-speed rail stations in Tonglu: Tonglu Station and Tonglu East Station. Tonglu Station is closer to the county and the Maling Ancient Road. Tonglu East Station is closer to Meirong Village. I arrived at Tonglu East Station at 7 PM and planned to take a taxi to Maoping Village. I waited for a long time but couldn’t get a driver. When a platform driver was finally dispatched, they refused to go, saying it was too far (about 30 kilometers) and asked for extra payment. After a while, I managed to catch a ride for 50 yuan. I was lucky, though, so if you’re arriving at night, make sure to have a backup plan or try to book a ride in advance. Gongyu Ancient Road The road connects three ancient villages: Luci Village, Maoping Village, and Shishe Village. The entire route is around 11 km long: Luci Village to Maoping Village: 8 km Maoping Village to Shishe Village: 3 km (this section is the highlight of the route). The route is mostly flat with very little elevation gain. In terms of commercialization: Luci Village > Shishe Village > Maoping Village. I personally liked Maoping Village the most. I stayed there for three nights, and there are buses between the three villages, or you can take a taxi. Fuchun River It turns out the best way to explore Fuchun River is not by boat, but by walking along the Fuchun River Greenway. The river looks muddy up close when on the boat, but from the Greenway, it looks star-green. The experience is especially beautiful on a rainy day—very poetic and dreamy! If you want to take a boat, just navigate to “Jiangnan Longmen Bay.” After my boat ride, I walked from Longmen Bay to Luci Village—all along the Greenway. #thingstodo #travel
