Perhaps it is because the halo of 'the last secret realm of Jiangnan' is too dazzling that few people notice Jingning right next to Songyang. It is the only She ethnic autonomous county in China, known as the 'Little Tibet of Zhejiang'. The topography of Jingning is dominated by river valley cutting through mountains, with ravines crisscrossing and peaks clustering, creating many beautiful mountain and river valleys. This is Jingning, the only She ethnic autonomous county in China 🚉Travel Tips: Take the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Lishui, and the bus station is right next to Lishui station, where you can buy a bus ticket to Jingning Weekend two-day tour recommendation: Day1: She Township Ancient City Although it was built later, it still has certain ethnic characteristics. There are few people in the ancient city, and very few shops are open. Here, clothing rental is 100 yuan with no time limit, and you can bargain during the off-season Day2: The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff The Sky City on the Nanyun Cliff of the She Township Window is so spectacular, it turns out that the Sky City in fairy tales really exists! Here, besides taking crazy photos, there are also many entertainment facilities Recommended attractions: 1 Yunzhong Daji - Xiao Zuo Village Check in the thousand-year-old ancient temple 'Shisi Temple' that resembles the Emerald City, then walk to the Xuehua Ji waterfall for great photo opportunities. Continue 6 kilometers along the mountain road to reach Xiao Zuo Village, known as the 'Jiangnan D1 Terrace'. 2 She Township Ancient City It is a newly built ancient city in the county town. The She people worship the phoenix, so it is also called Phoenix Ancient City. There are few tourists here, making it a great place to rent ethnic costumes for a photo shoot. 3 Sky City A resort nestled in the mountains and valleys, you can buy a ticket to visit without staying, and take a small train into the animated world of Hayao Miyazaki. 4 Dajun Village An ethnic ancient village built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'Window of She Township', it is even more primitive and original.

Discover the hidden Shisi Temple nestled deep in the mountains of Lishui with this niche route recommendation for heritage lovers! 🏯 📍Driving Tips: Navigate to "Shisi Temple," but be warned—the final 1.5-hour mountain road will test your driving skills! 🚗💨 • Sharp curves + narrow lanes • Not recommended for novice drivers But trust me, the thrill is absolutely worth it! ✨ 🌟Temple Highlights: • While the architecture and restoration work may be slightly disappointing 😔 • The temple's rustic, timeworn charm is unparalleled! • Every mossy brick whispers tales of a thousand years • Every corner is incredibly photogenic 📸 📷Photo Tip: Best lighting between 1-3 PM—the textured temple walls look stunning in photos. Add a vintage filter for magazine-worthy shots! 💫 🧳Travel Advice: 1. Wear comfortable flats (the stone paths are uneven) 2. Bring enough water (limited amenities nearby) 3. Prepare for bugs (lush vegetation surrounds the temple) Though imperfect, this raw historicity is precisely its charm. Seeking forgotten corners of time is what we heritage lovers live for! 🌸

This summer, I finally found my dream vacation spot—"No.8 Hidden Lodge" in Jingning, a boutique homestay reportedly cherished even by designers. Upon arrival, the summer heat instantly melted away. Nestled beside the mother river of Jingning's Hexi area, mornings greet you with a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scents of water and greenery, like tender hands soothing away the heat. By afternoon, sitting under riverside trees, I quietly watched the sparkling water, feeling the restlessness vanish without a trace. As a guest stepping into "No.8 Hidden Lodge," I was immediately captivated by its unique design. Rumor has it the designer crafted this minimalist, free-spirited style—wood and glass perfectly balanced, creating a space that's both airy and cozy. The natural, unconstrained layout never feels cramped, instead empowering both body and mind with a sense of liberation. I brought my family here for this getaway, and it turned out to be a summer paradise for families. Kids laughed and played in the courtyard, connecting with nature and unleashing their energy, while we adults relaxed nearby, savoring rare moments of peace and family warmth. I also heard many companies choose this spot for summer team-building—its spacious grounds host all sorts of fun activities, perfect for strengthening team bonds. This summer at "No.8 Hidden Lodge," I broke free from cookie-cutter vacations and embarked on a uniquely cool, design-rich journey. Highly recommended!

Who understands! Visiting Lishui Nayun Resort for the second time, I actually discovered an even more amazing way to enjoy it than the first time—Miyazaki-style cliff castle 🏰 + 24-hour parent-child fun, the kids played wildly for 3 days and didn’t want to leave, and this tired mom could finally relax on vacation! Here’s a detailed, nanny-level relaxation guide—just bring your kids and go for it 👇 🚂 Day 1: Enter the cloud castle and start the fairy tale mode Check-in Tips: It’s recommended to choose a room in Area A! It’s super close to Yunxian Street, the splash pool, and the coffee bar, so less walking with kids = more energy 🔋! • Little train arrival ceremony: Ride the pink little train “toot toot toot” into the lobby, and the kids instantly become “fairy tale protagonists,” shouting all the way, “It’s like entering a magic school!” 🧙‍♀️ (Missed the on-time train? Just scan the shuttle code anytime, wave your hand and it stops—super thoughtful~) • Inner Earth Jurassic → kids’ scream zone: As soon as you enter the cave, dinosaur roars explode! The kids cling to my leg, scared but curious, and finally dared to touch the dinosaur’s tail (the interactive mechanism is amazing, sound effects + lighting make the dinosaurs “come alive” 🦖)! In the challenge game, the kids tiptoe to press buttons, crawl through caves, shouting “Mom, I want to save the dinosaurs!” and played until they were sweating~ • Cloud Mirror Sky Splash Pool → wild fun at high altitude: A transparent pool on the cliff edge! In the afternoon, sunlight pours down, the water is as blue as a gem 💎, the kids splash around in swimsuits while I lounge at the coffee bar watching the view (coffee + high-altitude view, full healing vibes ☕). • Sandpit → cool surprise: There’s a sandpit hidden deep inside the cave! It’s super cool at 25°C inside, kids walk barefoot on the sand, digging all over and not afraid to get sandy (finally, this tired mom doesn’t have to play in the sun, so touching 😭)~ 🛀 Day 2: Cold springs + arcade games, covering the kids’ “water and fun” Area B Cold Springs → summer water play mastery: • The cold spring pools are super private! Each pool has its own curtain, so while the kids play in the water, I can hide behind the curtain and scroll on my phone (social anxiety mom’s joy 🙊). The water temperature is just right, leaving you refreshed after soaking, and kids who fear sunburn can enjoy “water play freedom” here~ • Play area → energy outlet: After soaking, head straight to the indoor playground! Climbing nets, slides to play wildly, and even better, the arcade + VR experience: kids hold game controllers fighting monsters, wear VR glasses shouting “The dinosaur is going to eat me!” 👾, while I film videos on the side, directly saving them into the “embarrassing history” album hhh~ • Cloud Sea Sunbathing Area → bubble battle: At 7 pm, the bath area instantly turns into a “bubble universe”! Kids chase bubbles, I follow taking photos, and when the flash goes off, it feels like stepping into the magical night of “Spirited Away” ✨ (remember to bring a bathrobe, wrapping up after playing is super warm~) 🐰 Day 3: Cute pets + market, packing the fairy tale to take home • Cute Pet Park → can’t stop petting: Get up early to feed alpacas and bunnies! Kids hold out carrots, alpacas come over to lick hands, the soft touch makes kids laugh like geese 🐇 (remember to bring disinfectant wipes, wiping hands after touching is safer~). • Inner Earth Secret Market → full of artistic vibes: ◦ Moutai Coffee → tipsy happiness: Have a cup of “Moutai coffee,” the coffee aroma mixed with liquor scent, one sip is super relaxing (kids draw She ethnic sachets nearby, a peaceful happiness ☕). ◦ T-shirt Graffiti → exclusive souvenirs: Pick a white T-shirt and draw patterns with the kids, take it home as a “Nayun limited edition,” a huge sense of accomplishment 🎨! ◦ Mineral Museum → niche surprise: The museum at the exit holds various minerals, kids squat down to look at “glowing stones,” suddenly asking “Mom, is this a gem?” curiosity fully sparked 💎~ 🍴 Eating and relaxing guide: worry-free and delicious • Area A Cloud Nourishing Buffet → breakfast feast: Freshly made rice noodles, desserts, fruits… kids run around with plates saying “The breakfast here is magical, it has everything!” 🍳 • Yunfu Chinese Restaurant → local flavors: Must order Lishui tofu and creek fish, fresh and flavorful, kids eat two bowls of rice 🍚~ • Area B Buffet → crayfish freedom: Summer-only crayfish buffet! Spicy, garlic-flavored… kids can’t stop peeling 🦞 (secret tip: go at night when fewer people, you can enjoy the food alone~) • Yuncheng Craft Beer → nightlife surprise: Have a craft beer for a late-night snack, listen to the resident singer playing, kids yawn at the table, and this tired mom finally feels the “vacation vibe” 🍻~ 💡 Must-see tips for bringing kids: 1. Shuttle bus = life-saving tool: The resort is huge, just scan the “call car code” anytime, wave and it stops, so no sore legs after a day of walking with kids! 2. Choose a room in Area A: Close to the core area, kids can rest anytime, saving energy 💪! 3. Must-bring gear: Change of clothes (splash pool and soaking will get you wet), sun hat (still need sun protection outdoors), sand toys (can be used in the inner earth sandpit!), disinfectant wipes (wipe hands after touching pets and playing in sand). 4. Photo spots: Cliff train (aerial shots of the resort are stunning), Cloud Mirror Pool (high-altitude portraits are amazing), Inner Earth Cave (dinosaurs as background, full atmosphere)~ Lishui Nayun is simply a “cheat code” for parent-child vacations 🎠: kids run wild in a fairy tale, moms relax in the coffee aroma, three days and two nights are never enough! Next time, I’ll bring the kids for a third visit and check off all the projects we didn’t finish~ Quickly save this guide, and this summer break, take your kids into Miyazaki’s world!

Jingning Daijun Window of She Ethnic Country, located in Daijun Village on the outskirts of Jingning County, is a national AAAA-level tourist area. The architecture maintains the simple and elegant Ming-Qing style with a front-shop-back-courtyard design, featuring an ancient commercial street with stone-paved roads, earning it the reputation as the "Furong Town of Southern Zhejiang." The scenic area mainly consists of three major tourism sections: First, participating in and appreciating She ethnic cultural performances; second, exploring the ancient street's charm and experiencing cultural landscapes such as the thousand-year-old camphor tree, Longgang Overlapping Greens, Fusan Ancestral Temple, and She Ethnic Customs Museum; third, experiencing the renowned "Zhejiang's No.1 Drift" – the Fusan Drift, which offers two types: bamboo raft drifting upstream and rubber boat drifting downstream. The ancient camphor tree at the village entrance is a testament to Daijun Ancient Village's long history. Known as the "Tang Camphor" for its growth during the Tang Dynasty, it is revered as a sacred tree by local villagers. Daijun Ancient Street is a famous She ethnic style street that showcases the cultural heritage and customs of the "Window of She Ethnic Country." The exquisitely paved stone streets, elaborately crafted brick-carved archways, and winding alleys all exude the area's ancient historical charm.

Jingning is located in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It's the city where I've stayed the longest during my slow travel through China, and there are many reasons why I like it: 1. She ethnic cultural features. Jingning is China's only She ethnic autonomous county, known as "China's She Homeland." It preserves the richest She ethnic culture, with the She people's "March 3rd Festival" listed as national intangible cultural heritage and "China She Homeland March 3rd Festival" recognized as "Most Distinctive Ethnic Festival." 2. Clean and pleasant environment. Jingning is a city of mountains and waters, a 5A scenic area city. The urban area centers around the Hexi River, creating a tourism ecological experience zone through natural landscapes and meticulous design. Outside the city, there are tourist attractions like Yunzhong Dajian and She Homeland Window, offering rich travel experiences. 3. Simple and kind local customs. During my stay in Jingning, I could feel the warmth and simplicity of Jingning people everywhere. I was even invited by a guesthouse owner to join their family dinner, which I'm truly grateful for. 4. High value for money. There are many hotels and guesthouses along the Hexi River in Jingning for under 100 yuan. If you stay longer, you can negotiate discounts. Regular individual meals cost less than 30 yuan, and there are many varieties of She ethnic small bowl dishes, making it suitable for extended stays.
