After staying in two mountain villages in Lishui, I returned to Kenggen Village. Compared to the previous popular tourist spots, this place is more rustic, tranquil, and understated. A stream flows through the village, making it perfect for a few days of mountain living.
In the morning, I strolled along the stream and stumbled upon an unexpected coffee shop. A latte warmed my heart. Then, I visited the library; the guesthouse owner had a rich collection of books, and I was sure to find something I could enjoy. Before I knew it, it was lunchtime, and the delicious food at the Yunwei Restaurant satisfied my appetite.
The village, though small, is rich in content, including a small pub and a silver mine museum. If you have the energy, you can hike along the stream all the way to Qixingdun.
The village is ancient, but the guesthouses are stylish. The two beautiful owners, adhering to their ideals, have preserved the original charm of this ancient village while maintaining well-maintained village roads and bridges. Seemingly simple, it is actually comfortable and peaceful, making it a place you could easily stay for several days.
