Arriving at Sanshi Village, the starting point of the hike, this thousand-year-old village is located beside the Shanxi River and is famous for the three huge rocks in the village. According to legend, Li Bai once visited this place to collect folk songs and wrote a poem: "The moon on the lake shines on my shadow, sending me to the Shanxi River." We set out from the village and followed the ancient road, passing ancient houses and ancient trees along the way. In the deep autumn, the scenery is very colorful and beautiful.

Passing through Sanshi Village, you'll step onto a primitive trail that feels like a psychedelic forest (the road conditions are relatively primitive, so be careful wearing shorts).

Leaving the ancient road, a vast scene full of rural style comes into view, with small bridges, flowing water, country trails, rice fields, etc., which is super suitable for taking pictures!

1:30 PM

Arrive at Yantou Ancient Village, which is known as the "No. 1 Ancient Village in the Republic of China". It has a history of more than 600 years since its construction. It is mainly famous for being the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Mao. Many ancient shops and ancient houses are still preserved today.

We strolled to the entrance of the ancient village, and along the way we could see green bridges, flowing water, and wobbly swings, which made us feel relaxed and happy!

We've left plenty of time for tourists to enjoy their food!

Yantou Village:

Yantou is an ancient village in the mountainous area of ​​eastern Zhejiang, renowned for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. In 1370, during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, descendants of the Mao family began to live and thrive here, a history spanning over 640 years. Because Yanshui, a tributary of the Shanxi River, flows northward from south through the village, Yantou was formerly known as "Yanxi."
