·afternoon
From 13:00 to 17:00, visit the 5A-level scenic spot [Xiandu Scenic Area] (due to traffic control in Xiandu, you need to transfer to the scenic shuttle bus at the visitor center)
The following are recommended tour arrangements:
1. Visit the core scenic area: Xiandu Dinghu Peak, a paradise on earth. Artists call it an inexhaustible source of artistic inspiration, and the film and television industry calls it a natural studio. It has served as a backdrop for numerous blockbuster films, including "Ashima," "Peerless Twins," "The Heroines of the Yang Family," "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," "Southern Shaolin Temple," "Chinese Paladin," "Ancient Swordsman," "The Journey of Flower," and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain." On clear days, the myriad of unique peaks and rocks are highlighted by the sunlight; on rainy days, the misty sky shrouds the landscape, creating a hazy, fairy-like scene.
2. Enter the magnificent Yellow Emperor Shrine (formerly known as Jinyun Hall), once one of the three imperial palaces of Emperor Huangdi. Built during the Xianhe period (326-334) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was a center of Taoist activity in ancient China. Facing southeast and northwest, the Yellow Emperor Shrine echoes the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Shaanxi Province, forming a "northern mausoleum, southern shrine" pattern. It is the primary site for worship and veneration of Emperor Huangdi, the founding ancestor of Chinese civilization, in southern my country. You can also enjoy a unique live performance of the "Xuanyuan Zan" offering sacrifices and blessings.
3. After leaving the Yellow Emperor Temple, we prepared to climb to the summit of Dinghu Peak (on foot or by cable car). The aerial view was spectacular and the air was fresh. There was a pavilion at the top of the mountain with chains hanging from it, covered in love locks.
Note: A. Hiking: Take the side hiking trail, loop up and down, and reach the summit in about 15-20 minutes. B. Cable car up and down: Walk past the Yellow Emperor Temple and take the cable car to the top of Dinghu Peak.
4. Visit the Xiandu photography spot [Zhutan Mountain] and walk across an ancient bridge, where you might encounter a farmer leading his cattle.
5. Check out Xiandu’s new internet-famous spot, Shicang Study. An abandoned mine left behind by the ancients has been transformed into a study by contemporary people. Climb up the stairs and sit down quietly to read a book or listen to your favorite music. It feels magical and leisurely.
6. Arrive at Little Chibi Dadu Rock, walk along the natural stone corridor by the river, gaze at the Danxia cliffs, and experience the evening by the mountains and waters of southern Zhejiang.
After finishing the first day's trip, we went to Guyan Painting Village to check in.

Day 3 Songyang → Lishui High Speed Railway Station
·morning
In this quiet environment, we get up early and set off after breakfast to the secret place of Jiangnan - Songyang
Due to its remote, mountainous location and location on the upper reaches of the Oujiang River, Lishui retains the imprint of its farming and reading culture, with many villages maintaining traditional architectural forms, cultural practices, and lifestyles. Despite the current economic development, the dense concentration of these mountain-climbing, boat-shaped Feng Shui villages has allowed these glimpses of primitive civilization to survive, a phenomenon rarely seen in China.
Or visit or take photos of the following ancient villages:
1. [Yangjiatang]: Experience the authentic flavors of southern Zhejiang. Climb a hill and you'll be greeted by a series of villages with red roofs and yellow facades. From afar, they resemble medieval castles.
2. Go up the mountain, pass by the viewing platform, and take photos of the village in the clouds [Xikeng Village]. When it rains and the clouds are shrouded, this place is as charming as a fairyland in the sky.
3. [Chenjiapu], check in at [Xianfeng Bookstore (Common People Bookstore)], which was selected as "China's Beautiful Bookstore" by CNN. The bookstore is famous for its floor-to-ceiling windows with a cliffside village as the background. It is a must-see place for many tourists.
