🌿Songyang! The ultimate staycation spot in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai🍃 Who really gets this feeling of retreat?😭
I was truly struck by this magical place called Songyang!!
Just 3 hours by high-speed train from Shanghai🚄
Open the window to sea of clouds and terraced fields🌫️, open the door to Ming and Qing dynasty ancient villages🛖
Who understands this healing feeling of "stepping into a peach blossom land"!!
✨**Three-day, two-night escape guide**✨
(Includes flight options + guesthouse list!!)
📍**Day 1: Stay in a glass house above the clouds**
✔️ "Feiniaoji" truly suspended on a cliff!
270° fully transparent glass house facing the canyon☁️
The feeling of being gently lifted by mountain mist in the morning...
I declare this the most magical guesthouse in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, bar none!!
✔️ Afternoon visit to "Chenjiapu Village"
An 800-year-old cliffside ancient village📸
The floor-to-ceiling window spot at the Vanguard Bookstore is amazing!!
(Remember to order a camellia latte🌺)
📍**Day 2: Explore the last secret realm of Jiangnan**
✔️ "Songyang Old Street"—eat, eat, eat!!
🫓 Xu Ji Braised Salt Chicken: crispy skin, tender juicy meat!
🍜 Baixian Noodle House: handmade noodles cooked over firewood!
(Remember to add preserved mustard greens and fried egg🍳)
✔️ Afternoon rush to "Yangjiatang Village"
At dusk, the whole village turns golden!!
The bench under the couple tree is a perfect photo spot📸
You can shoot a National Geographic cover right away!!
📍**Day 3: Hike the tea mountains to pick spring**
✔️ "Damushan Tea Garden" 15km cycling!
Run through the tea ridges in a white dress🌱
Every snap looks like a scene from the movie "Little Forest"!!
💡**Highly recommend these moments**
▪️ Soak in the hot spring at "Yunxi MO+" early morning♨️
Watch the clouds flow beneath your feet...
▪️ Have afternoon tea by the stream at "Taoye"🍵
Dip your feet in the spring water while eating watermelon!!
▪️ Stay overnight in "Mingquan Village" and stargaze✨
The Milky Way is visible to the naked eye, ahhh!
📣**Real experience notes**
1️⃣ Recommend renting a car! The mountain roads are beautiful but taxis are hard to get🚗
2️⃣ Bring mosquito repellent if you go in May-June!!
3️⃣ All guesthouses must be booked at least 1 month in advance!!
I will keep falling for Songyang over and over💓
No crowded trendy shops
No commercial gimmicks
Only endless green🌲
And time that slows to a standstill...
The top escape choice for workers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai!!
