✅ As an ancient town in Zhejiang with an extremely strong artistic atmosphere, Guyan Painting Village may not be as well-known as Wuzhen or Xitang, but it is a niche yet charming place. Many painters and photographers regard it as a source of inspiration for their creations. The ancient town is also known as the birthplace of the 'Lishui Barbizon' school of painting, and is also famously known as the 'Town of Photography' and 'Town of Art'. ✨ As the saying goes: Guyan connects the past and the present, and the painting village enters one's dreams. Just as the name of the ancient town suggests, it is composed of two major parts: the 'ancient weir' and the 'painting village', which face each other across a stream. 🌟 The 'world's earliest water overpass' Tongji Weir, which has been selected as a 'World Irrigation Engineering Heritage', and the typical traditional village of Zhejiang West located at the head of the Tongji Weir dam, Yantou Village, are the must-visit attractions in Guyan. 🏞️ There is no excessive commercialization here, only natural beauty and wonderful landscapes. Looking up, one can see the layered green mountains; looking down, the endless green fields. The 'Mother River' Oujiang reflects the clouds and the sky, and in the backdrop of the fishing boats singing in the evening, it appears even more tranquil and peaceful. ✳️ Everywhere here is filled with a subtle balance between art and culture, regardless of domestic or foreign, ancient or modern. The architecture with grey tiles and white walls, the old streets paved with bluestone, the beautiful landscapes by the river that painters capture in their works, and the tasteful and lush plants along the streets, where one can sit in front of an old carved window and taste the rich milky coffee☕. 👉 Punch-in tips: ✅ Guyan Painting Village 📍 Located in Dagangtou Town, Liandu District, Lishui City ➡️ Punch-in spots: Ancient streets, ancient pavilions, ancient ports, Tongji Weir, stone cases, art galleries, thousand-year-old camphor tree clusters 🎫 Ticket: 50 yuan ⏰ Suggested punch-in time: 2-3 hours 🚌 Transportation: Take bus 203 in the city to Dagangtou Station, then transfer to bus 202 or 207 to Yantou Station to arrive
