"Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai to Aletai" 3-Day 2-Night Travel Guide

🌿Day 1: Cloud Terraces and Evening Mist Yunhe Rice Terraces (Yunhe County, Lishui City, 1.5 hours by car) Visit the "Nine Curved Cloud Ring" viewing platform at dawn🌾. Thousands of terraces shimmer like broken silver mirrors. During irrigation season (May-June), clouds reflect in the water; during harvest season (September-October), golden rice waves dance. Walk through Kengen Stone Village, brew a pot of "Yunhe Old Tea" in an old teahouse, and listen to silver mine legends. Recommended Stay🏠: "Yunyi's Courtyard" Guesthouse (wooden cabin on terrace hillside with cloud sea views). --- Day 2: Oujiang River Paintings and Celadon Glow Ancient Weir Art Village (Liandu District, 40 minutes by taxi from Lishui Station) The thousand-year-old Tongji Weir spans the Oujiang River. Artists set up easels at the ancient camphor tree ferry dock🎨. Take a sailboat upstream where egrets dot the ink-wash landscape. Longquan Celadon Museum (Longquan City, 1 hour by car) Admire plum-green glazed spring vases with Song Dynasty charm. Hand-make your own celadon cup and engrave "Where rain clears and sky breaks through clouds," taking home the essence of Jiangnan's rain. Recommended Stay🏠: "Huaju Craftsman" Inn (renovated riverside mansion with terrace facing ancient camphor trees). --- Day 3: Xiandu's Martial Arts Atmosphere and Mountain Forests Jinyun Xiandu (Jinyun County, 15 minutes by high-speed rail + bus) Dinghu Peak stands like a pillar to heaven. At dawn, farmers lead oxen across stone bridges, capturing scenes from "Monk Comes Down the Mountain"🗻. Visit the bamboo sanctuary of Zhutan Mountain, brew tea with mountain spring water, and perhaps meet herb gatherers with baskets full of polygonatum. Heyang Ancient Residences (20 minutes drive northeast of Xiandu) Connected horse-head walls from Ming and Qing dynasties, ancestral halls with plaques reading "Pass down farming and studying," and elderly vendors selling Jinyun pancakes at Eight Scholar Street - crispy shells filled with preserved vegetables, too hot to hold but too delicious to resist. --- Transportation Guide🚌: - High-speed rail to Lishui Station, about 2.5 hours from Shanghai/Hangzhou - Attractions are scattered; recommend car rental (about CNY 200/day) or chartered car (CNY 400/day) Tips: Light down jacket essential for morning and evening temperature differences Ancient Weir Art Village ticket includes round-trip boat fare, free entry before 8am Xiandu Scenic Area bus CNY 20/person, drone photography at Dinghu Peak requires registration
