Day 1 Shanghai → Linkeng Ancient Village → Accommodation in Xianju County
All day
7:00-7:15 Gather, sign in, and depart. The team leader will introduce himself and play some small games on the bus, making the whole journey full of laughter and joy.
Due to the long journey, we had lunch at the service area. Around 13:00, we arrived at Linkeng Ancient Village. In the afternoon, we were free to wander around this ancient village in southern Zhejiang. The ancient stones showed the traces of time. Here are some of the most well-preserved mountain houses in Nanxi River. They all have a history of more than 100 years, and the oldest wooden house is more than 200 years old.
The exquisitely shaped wooden houses nestle amidst the verdant mountains and waters, evoking a quaint and natural atmosphere. The houses, built into the hillside, are staggered and harmoniously arranged. The village, with its small bridges, flowing water, and curling smoke and occasional white clouds, makes one lose track of where they are.
Today, join your guide for a leisurely hike along a nearby ancient trail. Explore Linkeng Village, a roughly 4km hike. Located in Nanhuang Township, the northernmost region of Yongjia County, Linkeng Ancient Village borders Xianju. Founded in the Ming Dynasty, Linkeng Village, once a settlement of the Mao family, boasts a history spanning over 700 years. Previously unknown due to its poor transportation, Linkeng Village is comprised of more than two dozen historic houses, two converging streams, three covered bridges, two stone arch bridges, and a backdrop of verdant hills.
Linkeng Ancient Village in Yongjia, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, is praised as a "mountain jade" and "dream paradise" hidden in time.
Around 17:00, the hike ended. After visiting this exquisite ancient village in the mountains, we went to a farmer's house for a decadent group meal. After that, we went to the hotel to check in.
Day 2 Accommodation in Xianju County → Shenxianju → Shanghai
All day
Around 8:00, we will set off for [Shenxianju Scenic Area]. We will take the "south-up and south-down" route to visit the scenic area, taking the cable car up and down. This arrangement will involve almost no climbing and there will be no turning back during the tour.
At around 8:30, we entered the scenic area and passed by Nantian Bridge, Lianhuatai, Wolong Bridge and other scenic spots. Hiking up the mountain requires a lot of physical strength. Those who are not physically fit can buy their own cable car tickets to go up the mountain.
From Ruyi Bridge, you can see the majestic mountains. Then, you can walk in the fairyland and marvel at the beautiful scenery that is just like Zhangjiajie. After turning a corner, you will see the bright flowers and the Nantian Bridge spanning between the two mountains, which will make you scream.
Around 14:00, return to Shanghai by bus.
We arrived in Shanghai around 19:30. We were reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in our eyes!!!
