A small town in Zhejiang that 95% of people don’t know about

I didn't expect that a county town could have so many ancient buildings and houses, many of which were typical structures written into the history of architecture by Liang Sicheng. There are few people, beautiful scenery, rich connotations, and the landscape painting is truly displayed before your eyes.

🍃This is Wuyi, Zhejiang, a small treasure town that has been delayed by cultural and tourism promotion!

This place is called the Grand View Garden of Jiangnan Ancient Residences and the Ancient Residence Museum. The garden contains demolished ancient dwellings from the Ming and Qing dynasties that were relocated from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Some people call it the modern version of the "Afang Palace". This is also the filming location for the TV series "The Most Beautiful Things in the World".

These Hui-style buildings are of varying heights, and are equipped with gardens, pavilions and viewing gardens. Each Ming residence has some tourist attractions arranged in it. For example, Huaiting Ancestral Hall serves as an exhibition hall of ancient structures, with some wooden signs and wooden beds. Climbing to the highest point "Wenchang Pavilion", you can see the undulating horse-head walls, as well as bamboo branches and maple leaves.

👉Yenfuji Temple👈Pictures 7-11

A very primitive and simple temple with Song Dynasty style. In 1934, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng went there specifically to investigate and survey, and discovered that it was a wooden structure from the Yuan Dynasty with a strong Song Dynasty style. They exclaimed that "(the hall) is indeed a rare and isolated example", and introduced it in detail in the "Journal of the Architectural Society" and "History of Chinese Architecture".

The entire temple was first built during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Since its construction, it has been renovated and expanded in almost every dynasty. The first few sections of the Enpuku-ji Temple that remain today are newly renovated temples that have a strong resemblance to the temple style that was passed down from the Tang Dynasty to Kyoto, Japan. The last entrance retains the original appearance of the temple.

👉Shanxiabao Village👈Pictures 12-16

The village is surrounded by mountains, and the ancient residential buildings are built along the valleys on both sides of the stream. The young people in the village have already gone out to work, and those left behind are some elders in their seventies.

Most of the houses are dilapidated and covered with thick dust, but if you look closely you can still see the exquisite carvings on the beams, flowers, auspicious animals, lucky birds, and gold-painted paintings. Each house seems independent, but once you walk inside, you will find that they are interconnected and have winding paths leading to secluded places.

The commanding point in the village is an observation deck. Climbing up, you can clearly see the lush mountains surrounding the village. The brown-yellow gable roofs and Hui-style horse-head wall buildings are intertwined, giving off a strong sense of antiquity.

There is a parking lot at the entrance of the village where you can park for free. There are no commercial elements in the village, no places to eat, only a simple store. It is recommended that you bring your own dry food when you come to play.
