A Journey to Xianxian Valley with the Twin Beauties: At Dusk, We Entered the World of Immortal Heroes

The Most Time-Traveling Ancient Town
Cliffside lights pour down like a river of stars, as our nine-year-old twin girls first encounter the ink-wash landscape🌌

As dusk draped Xianxian Valley in a dark teal veil, my wife softly pointed to the twinkling lights on White Crane Cliff and said, "This looks like the 'A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains' painting come to life." Our twin daughters looked up, their identical apricot eyes reflecting the flickering lights, as if the entire world of immortal heroes had fallen into their pupils.❤️

Summer travel with both elders and children is usually a challenge, but Xianxian Valley gave us a pleasant surprise. The light at 5 p.m. is the gentlest. Walking slowly along the stone-paved Immortal-Seeking Path, the winding corridor keeps the summer heat outside the layered hills. My father, holding his hiking stick, joked, "This is much kinder than the stone paths in Hongcun; at least we don’t get baked like pancakes."
Who says you can’t travel with elders and kids in summer?

The twins loved the Waterwheel Workshop the most, watching the master pressing oil with great focus! I secretly snapped their adorable faces counting petals by the bamboo fence📸
