I went crazy being asked on Moments if I was abroad, but I'm actually in Zhejiang

Recently, Lishui has really become popular online!

I discovered a castle that looks just like Monument Valley, standing alone on an island in the middle of a lake, both mysterious and romantic. The castle's pink color scheme is very similar to the Grand Budapest Hotel, it’s as beautiful as a painting.

Coming here, you can not only admire this unique building but also enjoy the beautiful mountain and water scenery of Yunhe Lake. The lake and mountains, the shimmering water, are breathtaking. If you’re still undecided about where to go for the May Day holiday, Lishui is definitely my top choice.

🚗【How to Get There】

Rose Castle is located next to the Xian Gong Scenic Area at Yunhe Lake in Lishui, not far from the Yunhe Terraces. Besides the castle, you can also visit the Xian Gong Scenic Area and Yunhe Terraces Scenic Area together. 📍Location: Xian Gong Scenic Area, Yunhe, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. 🚝Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Lishui Station, then take a bus to Yunhe County and a taxi from there, which is more economical. If you have a car, driving yourself is more convenient.

🚶‍♂️【Recommended 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary】

DAY1️⃣: Depart from various places to Yunhe, Lishui → Visit Xian Gong Lake Scenic Area → Check in at Huajianbao Hotel.

📝【Xian Gong Scenic Area Travel Tips】

After entering the Xian Gong Scenic Area, buy your ticket first. Then go to the dock to take a boat. After arriving at Xian Niu Dock, you can enjoy the water park and then admire the spectacular view of Xian Gong Bridge. Next are attractions like Spider Web, Step by Step Heart-Stopping, Xian Gong Flying Crossing, and finally reach the Lucky Fish Viewing Platform.

✅Since summer is approaching, there are more mosquitoes, so it’s recommended to take mosquito and sun protection measures.
✅If possible, stay at Huajianbao Hotel, which has many beautiful views inside, making you feel like you’re abroad. Using a drone for filming works even better.
✅It’s recommended to check for sunny or clearing weather before going, so your trip will be smoother.
