Live in Shenao Ancient Village

🩷Shen'ao Ancient Village 🎫Free and no reservation required
This thousand-year-old village with almost no tourists and no commercialization originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. Walking in the village feels like traveling back to ancient times, with stone slabs between white walls and black tiles.

There is a large pond in the center of the village. The reason why Shenao Ancient Town has high historical and cultural value is that it has an independent water system and many ancient buildings🛕. There are more than 40 Qing Dynasty buildings in the village.

🧡Dipu Village 🎫Free and no reservation required
Separated from Shen'ao by a river, it is also a very primitive ancient village. Encountered a huge lotus 🪷, no tourists to enjoy the lotus pond alone

There is a "Dipu Flower Sea" that you must check in! Free entry, there are 🌼flower sea and small train, it is very pleasant to take the small train. I came across the concert

💜Went to Tonglu County for dinner in the evening🍚and watched the night view of Fuchun River🎑

🤎 Navigation 🧭 "Fang Yukong Countryside Capsule 💊 Bookstore", you will enter the "Fuchun River Slow Life Experience Area", the mountain road is very narrow, so narrow that you have to retract the rearview mirror to barely pass when meeting other cars, novice drivers are better off not going there

🩵Qinglongwu Village 🎫Free of charge and no reservation required
There are many homestays. Many big designers have visited the 200-year-old village and left their masterpieces.

The renowned Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto designed the "Cloud Gallery" and "Cloud Stage". British architect Justin and his wife Jaycee completed the renovation of "Liuyun Country Villa". Yu Ting's "Yuanyuan Hall" and Lin Junhan's "Lookout Tower" are available for everyone to see.

🩶Fang Yukong Village Capsule Bookstore📖 🎫Free and without reservation ⏰9:30-17:00
This beautiful and lonely bookstore in the mountains has a dreamy glass exterior. I found the signatures of artists such as Wei Daxun here.

You can read books and drink coffee here☕️, and there is a capsule hotel upstairs. It is worth visiting. There is a hollow net in the corridor of the upper accommodation area. It feels like playing a game when passing through it. Sitting here and reading a book is very healing

💚 Creek Suspension Bridge 🎫 Free of charge, no reservation required
Near the bookstore, many people play in the water. The stream is very clear and there is a gate at the end of the suspension bridge.

This route is perfect for a weekend escape 💨 City break and recharge 🔋
