Title: Exploring Dongyang's Hidden Gems: A Journey Through Ancient Charm and Local Life

1. Luzhai:

- Admission: CNY 65 for adults. Free for children under 1.2 meters (inclusive), seniors aged 70 (inclusive) and above, and active military personnel with valid ID. Students of all ages with a valid student ID and seniors aged 60 (inclusive) to 70 (not inclusive) with a senior card or ID card can purchase concession tickets for CNY 35.

- Highlights: Known as the "Forbidden City of the South," Luzhai is a well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty residential complex and a typical feudal clan settlement, featuring exquisite wood carvings from different periods, including painted sculptures, ox knee supports, and corbels.

- Accommodation: A variety of accommodation options are available nearby, such as Dongyang Perfect Yaxuan Hotel, which offers a private sky garden with panoramic views of Dongyang's night scene, and Fudu Hotel (Dongyang City Center Branch), which offers a wide variety of breakfast options with local specialties.

- Food: Don't miss the Shanglu Wonton across from the scenic area entrance. The wrappers contain yam flour, making them very smooth. They are served with pork lard and fried dough, creating a fragrant aroma. Dongyang grilled tofu, Nanma meat pie, and egg walnut wine are also worth trying.

2. Lizhai:

- Admission: Free.

- Highlights: This ancient building complex feels more like a small village, with an exquisite and unique village gate. Passing through the Wenchang Pavilion, you'll see a lotus pond and pavilions, with the main building opposite. Although it lacks commercial atmosphere, its ancient charm is slightly diminished.

- Accommodation: You can choose to stay in the city or in some local B&Bs, but the number is limited, so it is recommended to book in advance.

- Food: There are many barbecue restaurants near Lizhai, such as Lizhai Barbecue, which offers delicious grilled fish and shrimp, as well as a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for Snowflake Draft Beer (specific promotions are subject to the restaurant).

3. Beihou Zhou Village:

- Admission: Free.

- Highlights: The entire village is a municipal cultural heritage site, with the Zhaoqing Hall, a provincial cultural heritage site, featuring a unique architectural layout. The three main halls on the central axis are very deep, with minimal interior furnishings, making it great for photos. There is also a large antique-style opera stage with exquisite wood carvings.

- Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in nearby towns or return to the city, such as the Ji Hotel (Dongyang Guangsha College City Center Branch), which offers good service and a rich breakfast.

- Food: You can taste authentic Dongyang Womian, noodles with more than 10 different ingredients, offering a rich taste.

4. Dongyang River:

- Admission: No admission fee is required, and you can enjoy the river view for free.

- Highlights: The river flows through the city, with beautiful scenery on both sides, perfect for strolling, cycling, and enjoying the blend of nature and urban landscape. The scenery is especially charming at dusk.

- Accommodation: We recommend the Kaiyuan Mingting Hotel (Dongyang Jiangbin South Street Branch), which is adjacent to the Dongyang River and has a high-rise floor-to-ceiling window restaurant where you can enjoy the river view while dining.

- Food: You can go to Dongyang's first high-altitude restaurant, located on the 15th floor, to overlook the city and the Dongyang River. The dishes are exquisitely presented, and the roast duck is served with hawthorn, which is sweet and refreshing.

Travel Tips: The attractions are far apart, so it is recommended to drive yourself (Luzhai → Lizhai → Beihou Zhou Village). You can also take public transportation, but pay attention to the operating hours and transfers. When visiting, wearing Hanfu or New Chinese-style clothing will enhance the atmosphere for photos.
