Songyang, Lishui: A City Forgotten by Time

Car-Free Transportation Guide
🚄Day 1: Shanghai to Songyang
Take the high-speed train from Shanghai to Lishui Station, then take a bus to Songyang. You'll arrive around noon.
Songyang has several popular ancient villages. Songzhuang and Yangjiatang are on one route, while Chenjiapu is on another.
This time, we went to Songzhuang. Take a taxi to [Pumen Jiayuan].
Due to time constraints, we only visited Songzhuang. The village isn't big and is easy to explore.
The experience was slow and relaxing, and I highly recommend it.
However, Yangjiatang is larger and relatively more crowded. If you want to take photos, I recommend going to Yangjiatang.
If you want to visit both, you'll need to arrive in Songyang early.

🚅Day 2: Songyang to Guyan Painting Village to Shanghai
Guyan and Painting Village are two scenic areas. Take a taxi to Guyan Village.
Tickets are CNY 50 per person. Guyan is relatively large, so you can walk around at a leisurely pace.
Painting Village is very small and mainly consists of a snack street.
