🌸 A Travel Guide to Xiandu Scenic Area in Jinyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang Province 🌸
🚙Transportation Guide
If you take the high-speed train, you can arrive at "Jinyun West Station," and then take a taxi for about 20 mins to reach Xiandu Scenic Area. If you choose to drive, it takes about 2.5 hrs from Hangzhou.
🏯Attractions
1. Dinghufeng Peak
Don't miss the "Xingyun Courtyard" here. Located at the foot of Dinghufeng Peak, every window offers a view like a flowing landscape painting, immersing you in its beauty.
2. Zhutan Mountain
Zhutan Mountain is the most classic stepping stone bridge photo spot in Xiandu Scenic Area (P1 camera position). The old farmer leading an ox performance is a regular show, free on weekends and holidays, and requires a fee on weekdays. You can also enjoy the same filming location for "The Legend of Shen Li" here, as if reliving the sweet daily life of Xingzhi and Shen Li.
3. Yandang Stone Grottoes
The scenery of the Yandang Stone Grottoes is as beautiful as a poem or painting, like a fairyland. Nearby, there is also the "Yandang Study," where you can enjoy reading while admiring the surrounding scenery.
🥘Food Recommendations
In Xiandu Scenic Area, you can taste local specialties. We recommend you try the Biluochun and Jasmine Cloud Tea from "7 Points Sweet." These two original leaf milk teas have an elegant aroma and a smooth taste, perfect for a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. You can also buy "The Legend of Shen Li" co-branded peripherals such as transparent cards and standees from 7 Points Sweet as souvenirs.
‼️Travel Tips👣
1. The best time to visit Xiandu is during the Qingming Festival. Xiandu in the rain is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it even more dreamlike.
2. Remember to bring rain gear and sunscreen.
3. Please respect local customs and the natural environment. Do not damage vegetation or cultural relics.
