|||This May Day, I don't. 🌿 May Day Crowd Escape: I Found a Hidden Gem Ancient Town in Wenzhou!|||This May Day, I don't want to go to crowded popular attractions
Instead, I prefer less commercialized natural scenery with fewer people
In Shunxi Ancient Town in Pingyang, Wenzhou
I found a hidden Jiangnan paradise where even the breeze feels poetic
Like a secret realm forgotten by time
Century-old black-tiled houses with blue-gray bricks, streams and mountain valleys hiding xianxia dreamscapes
Counting moss patterns on bluestone slabs, listening to creek water boiling tea by the corridor bridge
❶ "Shunxi Music Lawn"
Who knew there was a Miyazaki-style lawn hidden in this ancient town!
A healing hillside behind the ancient residences, like a scene stolen from an anime
Layered green mountains in the background, soft meadow grass underfoot
❷ Ancient Bridge Flower Boats
People sitting in boats, boats floating through paintings
The dreamy flower boats by the river are amazing! No need to squeeze through crowds in Xitang
Passing through the century-old Chen family residences, I encountered flower boat parades under stone arch bridges
Tea ladies in blue linen shirts slowly drifting on bamboo rafts, with wild flower bouquets piled at the bow
Free to board for photos—wear a pretty dress and every casual shot looks beautiful
❸ Laosfen Ancient House
This well-preserved Qing dynasty merchant mansion holds secrets of a century-old family's rise and fall in every brick and tile
Stepping into the courtyard with blue-gray tiles, you're instantly surrounded by cascading flowers and greenery
Stop by the Ha Tea House inside for a leisurely cup of tea—truly delightful
❹ Zhiyin Creek Stream Tracing
Like stepping into a branch of Jiuzhaigou Valley
Just a 10-minute drive takes you to a hidden water paradise in southern Zhejiang!
The stream water is so blue-green it looks like God added a filter
There are multiple waterfalls, crystal clear emerald water, plus suspension bridges and pond walkways
Perfect for couples and family hiking
Walking here feels like entering a utopian realm, making you forget all worldly troubles
If you haven't decided where to go for May Day
This lesser-known yet fascinating thousand-year-old town might be perfect
Few people, beautiful scenery, and free admission
Breathe fresh air and take amazing photos at the same time
Stop squeezing through Wuzhen, Zhouzhuang and Xitang!
Come to Shunxi to wear Hanfu, watch traditional performances, capture drone starry skies—exclusive and sophisticated
Hurry while it's still undiscovered by the masses
