Heard that the name "Nianbadu" alone is enough to make you fall in love😍
Tired of crowded popular attractions?
This autumn, come unlock the small town of Jiangshan in western Zhejiang with me!
Here, there’s no urban hustle, only the stunning wonders of Jianglang Mountain⛰️, the scholarly charm of Qingyang Village📚,
and the lively atmosphere of Nianbadu🏮,
together painting an ink wash painting hidden beneath the Xianxia Ridge✨

📍｜Jiangshan, Quzhou, Zhejiang
🚗｜About 3 hours driving from Hangzhou, high-speed train direct to "Jiangshan Station" is even better (remember to rent a car in advance~)
📅｜2 days 1 night easy itinerary
