The route this time is from the entrance of Guyan
From Baoding Wharf-Guxian Corridor-Tingbu Bridge-Guyan Old Street-Wenchang Pavilion
Basically, it's just a leisurely walk along the way
You can see the shooting location of 'The Little Forest of Two People' everywhere
After all, I have also watched this drama starring Yu Shuxin hh
Walking past the beautiful homestay and under the big tree, it feels so familiar

I really like the forest next to the old street of Guyan🌳
It's probably the kind that changes with the seasons
The thousand-year-old camphor tree group will still maintain its strong vitality

Lishui 🇨🇳 Zhejiang
Nothing Big but Eat
A restaurant with a real atmosphere of making a show.
The food, the fire, the waiter's and the waitress costumes.
It's a full spectacle. The lines to wait for a restaurant usually deter me from wanting to try, but I made an exception here as it was the talk of the town and it was worth the hours wait.
The beef tendon stew, sweet sausage pancakes and potato hash were are spicy and delicious.

古堰画乡一日游
古堰画乡是十一丽水市行程中其中的一站。景区并不大,大约半天就可以逛完,其实景区并没有什么特色,只是里面有几颗千年古樟树还算亮点吧。

Then, take a boat back and cruise along the river to visit the Painting Village.

Day 6: Self-driving to Heyang Ancient Residence, which is a provincial historical protection building, with more than ten ancient ancestral halls. After renovation, it is still a place where people live together. After the visit, drive to Yongkang Fangyan Scenic Area in Jinhua.

Along the way, you can admire the steep mountains with layers of folds, and look up to the ancestral hall at the highest point. There are also two mountains that look like granaries, called "Tianxia Liangcang".
Day 7: High-speed rail back to Shanghai
