Arrival at Yan Ziling Fishing Platform
Yan Ziling Fishing Platform on the bank of Fuchun River is famous for Mr. Yu Dafu's famous prose work "Spring Day on the Fishing Platform". Recently, it has become really popular again because of Deng Chao and his wife's visit. Apart from the celebrity effect, wandering in this naturally created world is enough to evoke the poetic and picturesque feelings and imagination of visiting the Little Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Hence the wonderful metaphor of "If you want to visit the Little Three Gorges, you don't need to go to the Yangtze River."
3:30 PM
After the tour, drive to Shishe Village, an ancient village that you must check in. When you walk into the streets and alleys of Shishe Village, you will inevitably have a sense of time travel - in addition to the white walls and black tiles full of Jiangnan atmosphere, the quiet and elegant B&B courtyards, and the winding and orderly bluestone roads, this is also the starting point of the ancient road. Everyone is free to explore and feel the romance of the slow life area.

Day 2 Hotel → Chuiyun Tongtian River → She Village → Accommodation
08:00
After breakfast at 8:00, we will set off on time (the holiday time may be adjusted, please follow the tour leader's arrangements) to visit the [Chuiyun Tongtian River] scenic area.
Chuiyun Tongtian River: Just like in the first film "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," we'll take a boat trip through the karst underground river, listening to the boatman's introduction to this subterranean world. Later, we'll disembark and walk down the steps to admire the wonders of nature. Only by using your imagination can you discover the beauty of the stalactites in the cave. (The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, with temperatures reaching 18°C year-round, so bring a jacket.)
Exploring the Earth's Center: After the long river journey, don your expedition gear and embark on an expedition to the Earth's center, exploring eons of karst caves, including fault zones, limestone, cobblestones, rock banks, stone pillars, potholes, and stalactites. Clear mountain spring water flows continuously, and every wrinkle in the karst rocks bears the mark of time. A 100-meter-long rock forest, growing only one centimeter every hundred years, stretches a full 100 meters. Snap a photo on-site, and you'll feel like you've reached the center of the Earth. Sharing it on your social media is sure to get tons of likes.
If there are too many people in the scenic area, the order of the tour will be changed

After the tour, we drove to Daijia Mountain, which is located at an altitude of 880 meters. Here you can enjoy the warm sunshine like that of the north, as well as the scenery of clouds and mist all year round and green bamboos.
The ancient village has introduced boutique homestay and bookstore projects such as Secret Realm·Mountain Country Life, Yunxi·Daijiashan, Daijiashan·No. 8, Duyouchu, and Yunxi Pioneer Bookstore, which are worth visiting.
