Xin'an River Landscape Gallery

Xin'an River is the upper reaches of Qiantang River. The scenery along the way is quite beautiful, with mountains and rivers, and villages with gray tiles and white walls gathered along the river.

[Star] Go to Shendu Wharf to take a sightseeing boat. Tickets for "Xin'an River Landscape Gallery" can also be purchased on site. The boat ticket is 148 yuan, and you can choose to upgrade to the second floor for an additional 30 yuan, which has a better view.

[Star] The cruise lasts for 3 hours. You will get off at Jiusha Village, Miantan Village, and Zhangtan Village. You will stay for about 15-20 minutes before returning to Shendu Wharf. After each village docks, there will be a small area on the shore for local villagers to set up stalls, selling food, dry goods, etc. It's windy and cold on the river, so wear more clothes.

[One] Jiusha Village: The main attraction is the drying of dried corn, which is a small landscape made of various dried goods. You can take photos and check in. I was busy eating corn and didn’t take any photos. The sweet corn used for roasting corn sold by the uncle on the shore is really A fairy product! Super sweet and fragrant! Must go eat!

[Two] Miantan Village: Watch the Nine Surnames Fishing Show, where various fishing methods are demonstrated on site

[Three] Zhangtan Village: There is a Red Makeup Museum which houses the No. 1 bed in the world, the No. 1 sedan chair in the world, and a thousand-year-old camphor tree. A little episode: I bought a cake near the pier. When I looked back at the bill, I found that the name of the old man who collected the money was "a person abandoned by the country". I hope he is doing well.

There are also public boats on Xin'an River that go downstream, in the opposite direction of the sightseeing boats, and only cost a few dollars. But after some research, I found that it is rather troublesome to get back on board after docking, and there are long intervals between each trip. This method is expected to take a whole day, while taking a sightseeing boat only takes half a day. You can also choose to drive yourself, which gives you more freedom.
