Autumn Season Don't waste the good time Decided to take the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui I also made some decisions. Open map Zoom in You can see the layers of hairpin bends It is worthy of being called Jiangnan Tianlu . 🚗Route Day 1 Self-drive in Hangzhou for 2.5 hours—Xuancheng (lunch)—West entrance of Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui—Moon Bay—Shuimo Tingxi—Taoling Liudao Bay—Hotel Day 2 Depart at 6:30 — Fallen Redwood Forest — Qinglong Bay — Moon Bay — Ningguo East Exit — Drive 2 hours to Hangzhou Why choose to enter from the west and exit from the east? Because the redwood forest is filled with morning mist in the early morning of November, you must get up early to see it. If you choose the west entrance, you can rest for a night at the Halfway Hotel and set out to the redwood forest early the next morning. . 🏠Live We arrived at the hotel at around 2:00 p.m. and finally decided on this one after careful selection. The room was very spacious, with a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, which cured the fatigue of half a day's running around. The temperature in the mountains had started to drop by then, so we arrived at the restaurant in time for afternoon tea. The sunshine at four o'clock is beautiful, shining warmly in the backyard. I moved a chair and quietly enjoyed the leisure of the weekend. You can take a short walk in the nearby mountains. It gets dark around 5 o'clock. The hotel has a restaurant, which is a good place to experience the characteristics of Huizhou. . 🧾Itinerary Starting from downtown Hangzhou, it takes about three hours to reach the western entrance of the Southern Anhui Sichuan-Tibet Highway (you can navigate directly). It is recommended to have lunch before entering the mountains. Next, we will officially start our self-driving journey on the winding mountain road, passing Taoling Liudaowan along the way. Get up at six o'clock the next day and drive for about an hour to reach the Fallen Redwood Forest Scenic Area. The parking spaces in the scenic area are limited. It is strongly recommended to arrive before 8 o'clock in the morning, or stay in a homestay near the gate of the scenic area the night before. There is an outdoor viewing platform about 100 meters west of the Redwood Forest Scenic Area, which is an ideal drone shooting spot. The roads on the west side of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui are generally narrow, so you must pay attention to passing safety. The roads on the east side of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Southern Anhui are slightly wider than the west side, but there are more traffic jams. If time permits, try not to drive there on weekends or holidays. .

Still squeezing into Hongcun and Xidi in Anhui? Here's a secret: deep in the mountains of Jingxian County lies Chaji Ancient Village—a "living museum of Ming and Qing architecture." Without the crowds of tourists, it offers more extensive ancient buildings than Hongcun and a stronger sense of everyday life. Every photo feels like a scene from a period film—truly the pinnacle of off-the-beaten-path travel! 🌿 Key highlights: Why is it worth visiting? ✔️ China's largest surviving Ming-Qing dynasty village: Once boasted "108 ancestral halls, 108 temples, and 108 bridges." Over 180 Ming and Qing structures remain, dwarfing most ancient villages! ✔️ More "authentic" than Hongcun: No bar streets or trendy shops—just grandmas washing vegetables by the stream, old dogs napping on stone slabs, and the scent of wood-fired cooking in the air. ✔️ Li Bai's poetic "hidden realm": The great poet once wrote here that it was "another world beyond the mortal realm." Walking along the Chaji River, you'll understand why he didn't want to leave! 🏡 Entering Chaji is like opening a living history book Over 600 years ago, Tang Dynasty official Cha Wei retired here, and the Cha family flourished, building this into a massive village known as "ten miles of Cha village, nine miles of smoke." Walking on the bluestone paths, push open any door: • Degong Hall: The village's only Yuan Dynasty building. The entrance has weathered 700 years, and though the carved bricks have faded, they possess a rugged "ancient flavor" missing in Ming-Qing buildings. • Erjia Ancestral Hall: The village's "beauty representative." The five-phoenix style entrance features incredibly detailed "three carvings" (brick, wood, and stone), with "Eight Immortals" under the eaves that look almost alive! • Zouma Building: A 500-year-old Ming Dynasty structure. The second-floor "beauty lean" was once young ladies' "photo spot." Pay 10 yuan to go upstairs for a view of the entire stone-paved lane and imagine ancient ladies watching the rain from the railings. • Honglou Bridge: This Ming Dynasty arch bridge has its own "cinematic filter." In the morning, mist reflects in the arch; at dusk, the sunset turns the bridge warm gold. Even the "Great River" TV series crew filmed here! 📸 Photography enthusiasts must see! These spots are legendary ✅ Third floor of Guangyuan Building (10 yuan): The village's best overlook. With a wide-angle lens, capture the Chaji River flowing through the village, with white walls and dark tiles like scattered sesame candy—guaranteed to be your best shot! ✅ Along Chaji River: Sit on any stone steps to photograph reflections, grandmas washing clothes, or boats gliding by—authentic lifestyle shots come easily. ✅ Waterside restaurant at sunset: When evening smoke rises, order a plate of river fish and take atmospheric portraits with the cooking fires as background—perfect! 💡 Outfit suggestions: Solid-color long dresses or Hanfu complement the setting perfectly. Avoid bright colors that steal focus. Bring an oil-paper umbrella for instant traditional style on rainy days! 🚗 Complete guide: How to enjoy it best? Route: South Gate → Fortune Bridge → Degong Hall → Erjia Ancestral Hall → Zouma Building → Airi Hall → Honglou Bridge → Gongbao Ancestral Hall. Allow 3 hours, walking and photographing at a leisurely pace. Transportation: • Self-driving: Navigate to "Chaji Ancient Village," 1 hour from Jingxian County. Consider visiting Peach Blossom Pool (18km away) on the same trip. • Public transport: Take the Chaji bus from Jingxian Bus Station, departing every 30 minutes, fare 15 yuan. Admission: Peak season 65 yuan (March-October), off-season 55 yuan, half-price for students! Accommodation: Strongly recommend staying in the village! "Time in Chaji Inn" is recommended—a courtyard converted from an old house with flowing water outside your window. For those on a budget, "Chaji Ancient Village Inn" offers good value. ❗ Why do we recommend Chaji? Because here, you won't see cookie-cutter souvenir shops or hear noisy vendors—only bamboo trays drying in autumn sun, elders weaving bamboo baskets, and cats lounging on ancestral hall doorsteps. It's not a packaged "Instagram hotspot" but a truly living ancient village. If you want to escape the crowds and hear the "echoes of time" on bluestone paths, Chaji will give you an "undisturbed Jiangnan dream." Before it becomes famous, pick a weekend to drink wild tea by the stream and listen to the wind passing through old ancestral halls—experience the slow pace of this "thousand-year-old village." Chaji
