Finally understand why the Empress and Chao Ge chose to vacation here

Last weekend, I went on a staycation to Jinhuapujiang and discovered this hidden gem of a small town🌊
It's only a 2.5-hour drive 🚗 from Ningbo
Visited free 🆓 and fun ancient villages and temples
Also stayed at the Unshe Yema Ridge China Village 🏨, where Sun Li and Deng Chao secretly stayed before
A rainy day 🌧️ with no connection, alone in the mountains for 24 hours
Recharged my energy as an i-person

The hotel preserves the texture of a 600-year-old ancient village, blending old and new here
Yellow clay walls, bluestone slabs, old wooden doors, and red slogans everywhere reflect the era's traces
I stayed in the Zhu Family duplex king room this time
The room’s interior is a simple, salt-style design
Really like the small window 🪟 on the second floor
In the early morning, opening the window reveals mist swirling over the mountains
Walking around the hotel, you can also see a 1,200-year-old yew tree
Its trunk is so thick that two people can’t wrap their arms around it

During these two days, the vacation vibe was 💯
Want to come again in winter
Watch snow from the room, gather around the stove, and brew tea
Spend a few days surrounded by sunshine, ancient trees, and fresh air for a slow life

▪️Fun nearby
❶ Longtan Ancient Temple: This ancient temple is really very welcoming and special. The Buddha inside is not lofty, the greenery and flowers are lush, and there are more than a dozen cats 🐱 to pet. It’s really different from the usual impression of temples
❷ Songxi Ancient Village: Small bridges, flowing water, mossy stone steps, every photo is like an artistic masterpiece 📷. Really like the ancient opera stage inside, and there’s no entrance fee 🎫
❸ Jiangnan di Yi: A millennium-old town personally named by Zhu Yuanzhang. The nine archways of the Zheng Clan Ancestral Hall are stunning. Walking on the bluestone slabs feels like traveling back to the Ming Dynasty. Chen Kun’s new movie 🎬 "1840" was just filmed here 😍
