Day 1 Hangzhou → Pujiang → Hangzhou
07:30
Go to Huanglong Seafood Stall to sign in and gather
08:00
Depart for Jinhua Pujiang by car, and the tour leader will tell you about the precautions
10:00
Arriving at Longtan Ancient Temple, it's a unique place, devoid of grand architecture and bustling tourists, but teeming with a rare tranquility and warmth. Here, you can slow down and experience the tranquility and ease while admiring the Zen-like atmosphere evoked by the mottled walls, intricate wood carvings, stone tablets, and pagodas.
11:30
Head to Tashan Park, a 20-minute journey. Longde Temple Pagoda, a thousand-year-old brick-and-wood pavilion-style tower, earned its name from the temple where it was built and served as a filming location for Black Myth. Inside, you can visit. There are no stairs, and the lighting effect from below is breathtaking, as if hexagonal circles of light, gradually magnifying from far to near, seem to draw you into a time tunnel. Grab a stick and snap a photo of Wukong from Black Myth! The 800-year-old camphor tree and 900-year-old Castanopsis sclerophylla tree in Tashan Park are a highlight.
12:00
After checking in at Longde Temple Pagoda, you can explore Tashan Park on your own and then have lunch on the street next to it (about 500 meters away). We recommend trying the local stir-fries and snacks, which are relatively cheap.
Note: Pujiang restaurants are relatively few and scattered, so we provide a more centralized location in the city. Unlike traditional snack streets with a wide variety of delicious food, please understand.
2:00 PM
After eating and drinking, head to Songxi Ancient Village to escape the summer heat!
2:30 PM
Songxi Ancient Village, founded in the Song Dynasty, boasts over 800 years of history and boasts 1,560 ancient buildings. It's one of Zhejiang's most exclusive, millennium-old villages, boasting a rich cultural heritage. The renowned Songxi Poetry Society originated here. Bridges are built over the stream, and houses are constructed on them. It's said that there's a hidden bridge spanning over 700 meters. The hidden stream between the two streams is covered by a culvert formed from large limestone blocks, with five water intakes. Both the culvert and the bridges at the intakes utilize arched arches. Enjoy a refreshing glass of magnolia jelly for 3 yuan to cool off, then we'll journey upstream together, exploring the hidden stream and enjoying the cool breeze along the way. (The village is even more beautiful when it rains.)
You can join your guide for a river trek and explore the village, or wander freely. The trek covers approximately 600 meters. Trekking shoes are recommended, and water equipment can be purchased locally. The river is illuminated (if it rains and the water level rises, the trek will be canceled and the village tour will be conducted as normal). Those who prefer not to trek can bring a bench to sit in the stream inside the cave to cool off, or walk on land. After tracing the hidden stream, we'll continue along the bright stream to visit the ancient village's ancestral hall and stone houses.
4:30 PM
If you don't want to rush to hike, you can sit in a secluded corner and enjoy the leisure time in the village. We gathered on time and returned.
6:30 PM
Arriving in Hangzhou, everyone kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes.
