Songyang, highly recommended by National Geographic! This cliffside ancient village is just too magical!

Hey! I discovered a real-life "Castle in the Sky" in Lishui✨ Just a 30-minute drive from the county seat and you can enter this ink-wash painting landscape🏞️ No wonder National Geographic is raving about it!

📍 Check-in spot: Chenjiapu Village, Songyang County (Sidu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City)
🚗 Transportation advice: It’s best to drive or hire a car; the mountain roads are a bit winding but the scenery is totally worth it.

💥 The first sight at the village entrance blew me away!
600-meter cliffside rammed earth old houses🏚️
When the sea of clouds rolls in, it really feels like walking in the sky☁️
Every snap looks like a cinematic masterpiece📸
Best part! So! Few! People!
The joy of no queues for photo spots is something only true fans understand!

Highly recommend this "Noodle Shop" in the village:

⚠️ Practical tips:
1⃣ Wear light-colored clothes for better photos👗
2⃣ Mountain roads are steep, wear sneakers👟
3⃣ Big temperature difference between morning and night, bring a jacket🧥
4⃣ You can drive to the village entrance before 7 AM
After 7 AM, take the shuttle bus (10 RMB including bottled water💧)
