✨ [Must-Visit Spots]

1. Linkeng Ancient Village | Secluded Utopia in the Mountains
The blue-tiled wooden buildings exude a slow pace of life. The autumn harvest scene is like an oil painting, and the lanterns at night instantly transport you to a Xianxia drama!

2. Lishui Ancient Street | Top-Tier Jiangnan Water Town
Stroll along the stone road with an oiled paper umbrella. Hanfu + ancient bridge = a hit on social media. Every frame is a poem!

3. Pengxi Village | Hidden Waterfall
Navigate to "Pengxi Village Primary School" for parking. A half-hour hike will give you a private mountain and river view with an explosion of coolness!

4. Taishi Grassland | Wenzhou's Little Prairie
Cows graze under the shade of trees. The grassland + stream + distant mountains make every shot a movie poster!

5. Xibin Park | Real-Life Enchanted Forest
Wooden bridges, swings, and babbling streams make it perfect for kids to burn off energy and take photos. The forest atmosphere is amazing!

🏡 [Stay in a Scenic Homestay]
🌟 "Nanxi River Youyou Mountain Residence"
✔️ A healing little nest with green views from the window. The outdoor swimming pool is super fun in summer!
✔️ Two healing doggos wag their tails to greet you. You won't be able to stop petting them!
✔️ Enjoy special meals/DIY kitchen. The courtyard is too chill for enjoying the scenery and eating!

💡 [Travel Tips]
✅ Most ancient villages have stone roads, so it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
✅ You can bring a picnic mat to Taishi Grassland to take atmospheric photos.
✅ Fish food at Tao Gong Cave is 5 RMB/portion, and the photo output rate is extremely high!

Go for it, friends in the Yangtze River Delta! 🌿
