I stepped through a time portal and found the most beautiful thousand-year-old temple in Zhejiang.


Lishui is truly a treasure trove!
Besides Songyang and Jinyun,
I also found a hidden gem of a thousand-year-old temple ⛩️ in Jingning.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,
I would have thought it was CGI‼️
Fallen ancient trees lay across the road,
as if the next second I would travel through time.

📍Xiandu Scenic Area, Jinyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang
🚄Take the high-speed train to "Jinyun West Station," then a taxi for about 20 minutes.
🚗About a 2.5-hour drive from Hangzhou.

✔️Recommended Spots
▪️Xingyun Courtyard
The main filming location for "The Legend of Shen Li." Most of Xingyun and Shen Li's scenes in the mortal world were filmed here. The courtyard is located below Dinghufeng Peak, built by the lake. The scenery is truly stunning~

(Jinyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang) [Yanxia Stone Village]
One of the largest stone-dwelling ancient villages in Zhejiang Province, once named one of "The Five Most Beautiful Ancient Villages in Zhejiang" by *China National Geographic*.
Surrounded by mountains and bamboo forests, with stone houses, stone bridges, stone paths... it's like stepping into an ancient stone castle forgotten by time.

📷
The space is perfect for taking photos.
Every angle is a masterpiece.
Sunny days are recommended.

🏝 Nearby:
The bookstore is located in the Xiandu National 5A Scenic Area.
Next to Xiao Chibi and Dinghufeng Peak.
About a ten-minute walk away.

⛩️Location > Shisi Temple
📍Address > Xier Village, Daji Township, Jingning She Autonomous County
🚗Transportation > Self-driving is recommended, as the mountain roads are narrow.

Lishui is truly a treasure of a tourist city. Songyang and Jinyun are also great for spring and summer trips, especially on rainy days when the area is shrouded in mist, living up to its name of "Fairyland."

A complete Lishui travel guide will be updated later👍.
