·afternoon
Today, we will go to Tonglu's hidden secret place and travel with Deng Chao and Sun Li:
Drive to the hidden ancient longevity village of Shishe Village for lunch, where you can try the intangible cultural heritage snack of rice sieve and fresh Luci River delicacies. The stone-built village is surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on three sides, offering stunning scenery and a tranquil escape to the mountains and rivers. A clear stream flows by, offering a refreshing dip in the water for fishing. The village also boasts the Saxiu Coffee and Bookstore, where the owner curates fascinating monthly exhibitions featuring books, art, coffee, and wine. It's a truly delightful place.
2. Afterward, we visited the secluded valley of Qinglongwu, now an architectural art village. We also visited the "A New Old House: Rural Recycling" - [Watchtower], a building exhibited at the 16th Venice International Architecture Biennale. Here, we also visited China's first rural capsule bookstore, Yanjiyou Capsule Bookstore. The design-focused Yanjiyou Bookstore is characterized by its "never copycat" aesthetic. With its 7-meter-high glass curtain wall and multi-level staggered structure, this valley, far from the bustling city, allows art to awaken the countryside. Grab a cup of coffee, read, and unwind, the atmosphere is instantly captivating.
3. Drive past the majestic Fuchun River Hydropower Station and arrive at Yan Ziling's Fishing Platform, the site of the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." Cruise through the landscape, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the mountains and rivers, and gently exploring the poetic and picturesque scenery of Qili Waterfall. Follow the stele corridor, listening to the voices of history amidst the stained calligraphy of literary masters like Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Lu You, and discovering the unique mountains and rivers, as well as the reclusive spirit of Yan Ziling.
Note: To support the "Shilu Culture - Three Rivers and Two Banks" water tourism line, the scenic area will undergo a nine-month protection and improvement project starting August 8, 2024. During this period, only cruise ships will be open (if you do not dock at the fishing platform, you can refund the difference of 45 yuan per person).
4. In the evening, climb Tongjun Mountain, a place where Tonglu people place their homesickness, and savor the culture of Tongjun, the ancestor of medicine. "From Tongjun Mountain, you can see the whole city." From the summit, you'll have a panoramic view of Tongcheng. Once you've come to Tonglu, you're a fellow traveler.
5. On the recommendation of a local driver, we visited a Tonglu restaurant known for its fresh fish. Recommended dishes include: Spring River Fish (mixed fish pot), Yellow Eel Casserole, Rice Wine Steamed Buns, and Wo Tofu.
After the tour, check into the Fuchun Riverside Hotel: Fuchun River Legendale Hotel, and have a comfortable night's rest.

All day
In the morning, you can go to the Fuchun River for morning exercise or a walk, and then return to the hotel to enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast.
Discovering the hidden gem of the She ethnic group, Daijiashan Village, nestled deep within the mountains, boasts emerald waters and serene greenery. It has been home to the She ethnic group since ancient times. They call themselves "Sanha," meaning "guests living in the mountains." The village's yellow mud and black tiles blend seamlessly with the green hills, white clouds, and bamboo shrouds, creating a scene frozen in time for millennia. Deep within Daijiashan, we visited the Pioneer Bookstore (Yunxi Library), recognized by CNN as "China's Most Beautiful Bookstore." Time flows quietly through the mountains, freeing us from the hustle and bustle of life in the countryside. Grab a book, order a cup of coffee, and relax, enjoying the tranquility of life. Walking up past the library, we discover a small, hidden gem bar, complete with a tool table and a window display showcasing homemade copper jewelry and the owner's personal collection—a truly enigmatic experience.
Afterwards, we visited the Mushroom House, where He Jiong, Huang Lei, and Angelababy once lived. It was truly filled with memories. The swings, tea pavilion, thatched cottage, lotus pond... these scenes from "Longing for Life" are definitely familiar to you. Experiencing the rural life here will warm your tired city soul. The village's farmhouse dishes are truly delicious. (The Mushroom House is not open to the public; only external visits are allowed.)
