I took a trip to Jinyun and realized that the weather in May is like opening a blind box 🌥️! The sun is scorching hot during the day 🌞, with strong UV rays; in the afternoon, there may be a sudden heavy rain 🌧️. If you don't bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days and a sunscreen jacket, you will be in a mess in minutes! Moreover, some scenic mountain roads are winding, and if the transportation is not well planned, it is easy to waste time 😣! Fortunately, I did enough research in advance. Keep this guide 👇! Transportation to Jinyun 🚇 🚄 High-speed train: It is super convenient to go directly to Jinyun West Station! After exiting the station, take a taxi 🚕 for about 20 minutes to get to the Xiandu Scenic Area; or take a bus 🚌 (follow the "Jinyun Travel" APP to check the route), which saves money and allows you to enjoy the scenery~ The nearby Yongkang South Station can also be used for transfer, but it is a bit far from the core scenic area! 🚗 Self-driving: Just follow the navigation! However, the scenic parking lot turns into a "parking space grabbing battle" 🅿️ during holidays. It is recommended to arrive before 8am, otherwise it will be super frustrating to circle around looking for a parking space! Accommodation reference 🏠 • Around Xiandu Scenic Area: Strongly recommend Jin Yun Li She and Yue Jing Zhuang 🌳! Open the window and you can see Dinghu Peak. Wake up to the sound of birds in the morning and watch the stars at night ✨. The disadvantage is that the price is high during the peak season, so you have to book a week in advance! • Jinyun County: If you want to go shopping, eating, and drinking, choose here! Jinjiang International and other chain hotels are cost-effective. There is a snack street downstairs, so you can rush out to buy sesame cakes in the middle of the night~ Popular attractions 🎈 ⛰️ Xiandu Scenic Area: • Dinghu Peak: The "No. 1 Peak in the World" soars into the sky, like a giant stone bamboo shoot rising from the ground! Taking photos in Hanfu will directly make you a goddess 📸 • Zhutan Mountain: In the morning mist season, it is as beautiful as a Chinese ink painting 🌫️! Rush to squat for the "Old Farmer Leading the Cow" performance before 7 o'clock, the fairy-like atmosphere is full~ • Yandang Bookstore: A popular place to check in online! Natural cave + beautiful light and shadow, drink a cup of coffee and read a book, the literary value is bursting ☕ 🌺 Dayang Mountain: May is the world of azaleas! The monkey-head azaleas and lantern azaleas all over the mountains bloom into a sea of flowers 🌸. It is recommended to hike to Dayang Mountain Tip, overlooking the continuous green mountains, and taking photos at will are all wallpapers! 🏯 Heyang Ancient Residences: The Ming and Qing architectural complex hides the password of time! The horse head walls and ancient ancestral halls are very charming. If you are tired from shopping, you can also drink a cup of green tea 🍵 in the old teahouse and listen to the boss chatting and telling stories~ Popular food 🍜 🥧 Jinyun sesame cake: Carbon water lovers are ecstatic! Dried vegetables + streaky pork are freshly baked. Take a bite and it’s crispy and oily. It is recommended to go to the "Old Sesame Cake" shop. It costs CNY 5 a piece and it’s so fragrant that you stomp your feet! 🍜 Tu Shuang Noodles: Noodles that are so thin that they can be threaded through a needle! Cooked in clear soup with poached eggs, it’s so delicious that your eyebrows fall off; stir-fried with shredded pork and vegetables, it’s super satisfying to slurp a big bowl~ 🥣 Qiao Rou Geng: Tender and smooth to slurp! Pork is pounded into thin slices and thickened, it’s sour and spicy and appetizing. It’s great to have a brown sugar mochi as afternoon tea! ⚠️Tips to avoid pitfalls: 1️⃣ Be sure to bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days + sunscreen + mosquito repellent, don't let the weather/mosquitoes mess with me! 2️⃣ The "Old Farmer Leading the Cow" performance in Xiandu is free on holidays, and you need to make a phone reservation and pay for it at ordinary times 📞 3️⃣ Wear non-slip shoes for hiking in Dayang Mountain, don't wear white shoes! It's super difficult to wash off the dirt 😭 4️⃣ Look for "charcoal-fired freshly baked" sesame cake stalls on the street, the pre-made cakes taste much worse! Keep the guide and rush to Jinyun to see the mountains, ancient villages, and eat carbon water bombs~ gogogo🚀!

This homestay in Xiandu is amazing. It is located by a river and surrounded by mountains. Every window offers a view of the mountains, rivers, and countryside. The food is also delicious and several attractions are within walking distance. The sound of the river and the birds singing, the fresh air, and the excellent service make this a true paradise. The rooms are very comfortable and I highly recommend it.

Jinyun's Jin Yunli She Boutique Homestay is located at the entrance of the Xian Du Xiao Chi Bi scenic area, built beside a stream, surrounded by mountains, facing the babbling river, and backed by a tranquil countryside. Just a few steps out the door is the locally famous Rainbow Path, away from the hustle and bustle, undisturbed by the outside world💯. A must-visit: The Grotto Group Book Bar and Coffee Bar is very beautiful, and the scene of a farmer leading an ox across the Shiliang Bridge at Zhutan Mountain is like a landscape ink painting‼️

After being recommended by a friend who is a travel expert, I stayed at the poetic Jin Yun·Li She. The room type we chose was the mountain view suite, which was amazing. I must say, it truly is surrounded by continuous mountains, with a stream flowing in front of the door. Listening to the water and watching the mountains, I genuinely enjoyed the beautiful pastoral scenery, feeling as if I was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, living in an idyllic paradise.

Jinyun • Lishè is located at the entrance of Little Red Cliff, surrounded by mountains, where the pastoral scenery of the changing seasons and the babbling river in front of the door can be found. A stone arch bridge connects the village to the beautiful lodging, and just a few steps away is the locally famous Rainbow Road. Whether at dawn or dusk, a leisurely stroll or bike ride will often encounter locals passing by at ease. Nestled in a fairyland, Jinyun • Lishè naturally exists like a painting! Filled with flowers, plants, and fruit trees, after years of botanical care, it has developed an atmosphere akin to a garden paradise. Rooms The first-floor rooms come with a courtyard, while the second-floor rooms have a scenic balcony. The rooms are equipped with custom Bluetooth speakers, a separate wet and dry bathroom area with double-sided sinks, a bathtub, a full set of SEVENPLUS toiletries, and guests can also enjoy high mountain wild tea. The rooms are also fitted with underfloor heating, so even when snowflakes are flying outside the window in winter, it's warm like spring inside. Dining Breakfast is served in the sunny restaurant in a semi-buffet style. The host will specially serve local specialty noodles to start the day full of energy. The guesthouse's lunch and dinner are also highly praised, with fresh seasonal ingredients, Jinyun baked buns, sesame duck, stream fish... you can eat three or four meals without repeating a dish. Entertainment Those who enjoy tranquility can read books and taste tea in the lobby, or on the rooftop terrace, watch the clouds roll by during the day, and gaze at the starry Milky Way at night. Those who prefer activity can play on the backyard lawn, swing on the swings, or pick up stones by the creek at the door, walk across the stone bridge, and take beautiful photos. There is also a 10-kilometer cycling path right outside the hotel. Service Butler-style service, with personalized travel routes and recommendations for surrounding delicacies, saves the time of planning. Moreover, the guesthouse is very close to the high-speed rail, offering pick-up services, which is very considerate. Experience The design sense and elements of Jinyun are still timeless today, with the original and fashionable design by the great designer Sun Yun always present, blending into the surrounding landscape without losing a unique rural luxury.

"Silently, as the night wind, moistens things quietly." When I was excitedly awakened by the owner of Jinyun · Lishui to see the sea of clouds, I was convinced that those "romantic poems" were all true, and in Xian Du, this land, floating like an immortal happens almost every day! I also saw with my own eyes that even the locals still love this place like their first love. Zhejiang South is originally a mountainous area, and Lishui has almost all kinds of good mountains, good water and good air with a sense of fairy. The high-speed rail is the best way to reach Jinyun · Lishui, which can be reached within 1.5 hours from Hangzhou, and the fastest only takes about 1 hour. Lying on this bed, you can see the 5A level scenery. Jinyun · Lishui has a very good location, even let the excellent 5A scenic spots "Little Red Cliff", "Long Geng Road" and so on become the "back garden" for guests to stroll in their leisure time, with the white walls and black tiles in the water, blue sky and floating clouds... It's like a natural photography work with extremely rich HDR saturation, and also a realistic oil painting that can handle colors better than Van Gogh. A large area is divided into 22 guest rooms, each room design is slightly different, slightly wild luxury mirror, sofa also make the room look cool. In short, it's aesthetically pleasing for all ages! Everyone's concern about amusement, don't worry about it here, I'm afraid the stay is too short, can't play enough! Friends who like dynamic play must not have thought that in this classical place, you can also play heart-stopping, and not a few! Paragliding takes you to the sky, appreciating the "world of flowers" with the eyes of God; mountain cross-country and greenway cycling make you boil with fresh blood; and there are also Kuo Cang ancient road hiking, feeling the ancient pace.

Friends who like rural style must stay in this B&B, it's so comfortable😌 This time we were in such a hurry that we only stayed for one night before leaving. What a pity. It turns out that there is a five-star scenic spot nearby, with many sights to visit. Next time I come, I'd stay for at least a week. I saw many unique homestays nearby, all of them were very beautiful and comfortable.
