In the south of Shenli Gorge, the mountains are high and steep, with thick forest and marvelous water around. Birds, animals, and grassland are everywhere with exotic rocks and magnificent falls around. The natural environment is quiet and beautiful and well protected. In the northern part are ancestral halls and buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasty. There are several scenic spots here like the Censer Hidden in the Smog, Zhuyan Falls, Stalagmite and Cool Spring, the Sleeping Celestial, Zhutou Mountain, Grandpa Chen Carrying Stones, Valley of One-Hundred Steps, Meteor Cliff for Watching Eagles, etc. In this gorge, a three kilometer ancient post house named “Tenli Paviliion.” Since ancient times, ten beautiful legends have evolved and are still popular today. These include Huizhounese Gining Treasure, Grandpa Chen Carrying Stones, Shanniang Sleeps Eternally, Geshan Temple, and Zhutou Mountain Light.

Lots of famous writers of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty have written travelling journals and poems about the gorge. #urbanexplorer #tigeryear2022 #campingglamping #camping #waterfalls #mountainview

When i went to 3D Luoyuan Village to check the painted houses, I was quite disappointed because they were not able to maintain the paintings beauty of the houses in the village. Maybe they should re paint it every year or 2 years. So, before you arrive at Minshengcun you pass by this village and you see colorful houses. You can go around for an hour or 2 taking pictures of the nice paintings and colorful houses. The environement is also very provincial. Fresh and cool air and you can hear birds singing. At Minshengcun, the place is full of Rape Seed Flowers and it gives tourists different locations or areas where you can get juce pictures of the surroundings and also the whole area itself. I was satisfied with the place. thumbs up! #urbanexplorer #eslteacher #tigeryear2022

Address - 成记牛香 吊锅牛骨 Ambiance/Facilities - Hot pot style dining Highlights - nice atmosphere Avg. Price per Person - 100pp Rating - 7/10 On the outskirts of Yiwu , Zhejiang lays the district/town, Pujiang. If you are ever pass by make sure to stop for some local delicacies. This restaurant offers a spacious area with many comfortable seating places. There are many options on The menu, but it was a cold and winters rainy day so we settled on some delicious beef, lamb, meatballs, mushrooms and white carrots. The broth it was cooked in was spicy and added to the flavour of the meal. Everything was delicious and we were ready to face the cold evening after we finished our meal. Warmed from head to toe. #tigeryear2022#staycation

Not far away from Yiwu. Costs about 40rmb to get there by Didi. It only takes an hour or two to walk through the scenic area, but it is still worth going. There is a tea house inside, but it was closed over the spring festival. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing. Tickets are inexpensive (40rmb per person).#tigeryear2022

The Pujiang grape is the most common peak, accounting for 90% of the grape industry in the whole region. Pujiang is also known as the Hometown of China's Jufeng Grapes. The color of the local peak is purple, and the size is not exceptionally large. It is sweet and sweet. Note that it is sweet, not just sweet and awkward. Pujiang has a unique geographical location, with seven mountains, one water and two fields. It has a basin environment similar to Xinjiang's Turpan, which makes the locally produced grapes look bright and of good quality. In addition to the high sweetness, they also carry the heart. The spleen, the grape aroma that reaches the bottom of my heart. By the way, Pujiang grape is still a special offering for the G20 Hangzhou Summit, you can see the quality!

However, the original temple has long been damaged. The existing Zhaoling Palace was rebuilt in 1993. The Zhaoling Palace was preceded by the Taoist yin and yang fish pattern, the mountains are misty, and the mountains and the mountains have different climates. When we climbed to the top of the mountain, the fog was almost invisible. On the square in front of the Zhaoling Palace, there are various carved stone beasts. Can you find your genus? The road to the mountain in Xianhua Mountain is divided into the east line and the west line. The large bamboo forest under the mountain is like a fairyland. The Zhaoling Palace is dedicated to the daughter of the Yellow Emperor Yuan Xiu. It is said that she is a monk in the Xianhua Mountain. There are neat steps on the mountain, and the trees are thick on both sides. It is suitable for weekend fitness.

Just checked in at Longtan Ancient Temple, then immediately drove to Baozhang Temple in Pujiang. Two architectural styles, double the healing power! Navigate directly to 📍Baozhang Temple. There’s a free parking lot at the foot of the mountain, so no worries about parking. A leisurely walk will quickly bring you to Yingsheng Zen Courtyard. The small courtyard has a garden ambiance, with a new scene at every step, full of Zen vibes. The place is small and exquisite; no need to rush—take your time strolling and snapping photos. Half an hour is enough. This trip was tight, so I couldn’t explore further. I heard that a 20-minute hike will take you to the main Baozhang Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty. The light hiking route is easy and friendly. On a sunny day, it’s perfect to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the ancient temple and relax your body and mind.

Record of Longtan Ancient Temple: A Day of Pure Heart Journey Setting off at dawn, the car winds up the mountain road. The city fades further behind, and the greenery outside the window grows denser. Upon arriving at the mountain gate, the sunlight just spills over the eastern ridge, bathing the stone plaque inscribed with "Longtan Ancient Temple" in a warm golden hue. A breeze blows from the depths of the valley, carrying the scent of pine needles and dew—a coolness far more precious than air conditioning. Passing through the gate, a long stone staircase appears ahead. The steps are smoothed by time, with soft moss growing in the cracks. I deliberately slow my pace, counting my steps and listening to the faint sound of shoes against stone. Ahead of me walks an elderly woman carrying a bamboo staff; every ten steps she pauses, not from fatigue, but to look back at the path behind. This gesture makes me turn around too—the village below shrinks into a checkerboard, and the road looks like a gray ribbon. The meaning of climbing high is not conquest, but learning to look back. In front of the Mahavira Hall, incense smoke curls upward, drawing soft curves in the morning light. I don’t burn incense myself, just stand under the corridor watching the devout kneeling in prayer. Their backs appear hazy in the smoke, as if merging with this ancient temple founded in the Tang Dynasty. What holds me longest is the wind chimes at the corner of the hall; when the wind blows, they produce a clear, pure sound—not like metal striking, but like water droplets falling on stone. This chime has lasted a thousand years, hasn’t it? The monks of the Tang Dynasty, the pilgrims of the Song, the visitors of the Ming and Qing—all must have heard the same sound. Circling around the main hall, I follow a bamboo-shaded path to the famous Tang locust tree. Its trunk requires three people to embrace, and the hollow can hold a child. Yet the canopy remains lush, leaves sparkling in the sunlight like countless tiny mirrors. Beneath it stands a small stone tablet, the inscription faded but faintly showing the characters “Zhenguan.” I reach out to touch the rugged bark—rough yet warm. Suddenly I wonder how many travelers like me this tree has seen. It stands silently, sprouting in spring, shedding leaves in autumn, storing all stories in its rings. At noon, I dine in the temple’s vegetarian hall. Simple white porridge, greens, and tofu served in rustic pottery bowls. Fellow pilgrims eat quietly, the clinking of bowls and chopsticks barely audible. This quiet is not oppressive but a tacit peacefulness. While helping wash dishes afterward, I meet a sweeping monk. He looks no older than thirty but carries a calm beyond his years. Standing side by side at the sink, he tells me he’s been here three years. “I used to design in the city, staring at a computer every day—my eyes hurt, my heart hurt. Now I sweep the floor daily, watching leaves fall and fall again, and I feel grounded.” In the hottest part of the afternoon, I sit in the pavilion behind the Sutra Library. Mountain spring water flows by, its sound rising and falling like nature’s breath. Holding a borrowed copy of the Diamond Sutra—I don’t understand its profound teachings, but the words flow through my mind like spring water: “One should produce a mind that does not abide anywhere.” A squirrel jumps down from the eaves, boldly picking up crumbs on the stone table. Its little paws are nimble, its eyes bright and unafraid of me, a stranger. Even the animals here carry a hint of Zen. Dusk arrives silently. First, the glazed tiles of the main hall shift from gold to orange-red, then the silhouette of the flying eaves sharpens against the sky. Evening chanting begins, the recitation washing over the entire temple like a tide. I stand at the back, listening to the unintelligible syllables yet feeling inexplicably at peace. The wooden fish drum sounds steady and unhurried, as if measuring time in another dimension—not seconds, but the intervals of breath and the rhythm of the heart. Descending the mountain, the moon hangs on the horizon. Looking back, the temple’s outline blurs in the twilight, only a few eternal lamps still lit, like the earth’s gentle, open eyes. My backpack holds a newly acquired Heart Sutra, and my heart has shed the restlessness it carried up. This day held no breathtaking scenery, no dramatic stories. Only stone steps, ancient trees, bell sounds, and gentle breezes. Yet in these simplest things, I touched a long-lost wholeness—just as mountain springs must return to the deep pool, the heart that stumbles through the world also needs to return sometimes to a quiet place like this, to listen to its true heartbeat. The “tan” (pool) of Longtan Ancient Temple may not be in the mountains, but in each person’s heart.

This year, the most off-the-beaten-path small town in Jiangnan I visited—I’m afraid it will become popular, and I fear its beauty will be discovered by more people. A low-key little village where you can slowly savor the charm of Jiangnan, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of modern civilization, preserving a millennium of tranquility and simplicity. Those ancient villages hidden deep in the mountains carry the flavors of memories. The ancient village here is not as bustling as Zhouzhuang or Wuzhen, but it has the unique temperament of a water town. Green mountains reflect on dark-tiled roofs, flowing water winds around white walls, smoke from cooking fires rises gently, and time seems to slow down here. In the ancient village, every step is a scenic view, and every turn brings a surprise. Visit this small village hidden deep in the mountains of Pujiang—Songxi Ancient Village. At the village entrance stands a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, which must be stunning when its autumn leaves turn golden. The history of Songxi Ancient Village dates back to the Tang Dynasty, with over 1,300 years of history. For centuries, villagers have lived and thrived on this land, leaving behind many precious cultural heritages and historical relics. The village has ancient alleys, old bridges, wells, ancestral halls, and historic buildings, each worth savoring carefully. When visiting Songxi Ancient Village, be sure to see the “Songxi Temple”! Built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the temple is over 400 years old. Inside, three statues are enshrined: Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, and Guan Yu (Lord Guan). The architectural style of Songxi Temple is unique, with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves, and exquisite wood, stone, and brick carvings—art treasures from the Ming and Qing dynasties. You can also taste authentic vegetarian dishes inside the temple, which are fresh and delicious! Stroll along the stone-paved roads of Songxi Ancient Village, listen to the babbling water, and feel the weight of history. There is no commercial atmosphere here, only simple villagers and peaceful mountains and waters. Here, you can leave behind the noise and worries of the city and find inner peace and tranquility.

Key Highlight: Capture the linear beauty of Ming and Qing architecture, freezing romantic moments where ancient and modern blend. Morning: Head to Pujiang, capture the morning light ● Depart early for Pujiang, aiming to arrive at the First Family of Jiangnan before 9:00 AM. The soft morning light and fewer tourists make it the golden hour for capturing grand shots of ancient architecture. Late Morning: A visual feast for photographers ● Composition Tips: ● Symmetrical Aesthetics: The Zheng Family Ancestral Temple boasts a rigorous central axis layout; use a wide-angle lens to capture the grand interior of the temple. ● Framing: Use the doors, windows, and columns of the ancient houses as foregrounds to capture a sense of depth in the courtyards. ● Details: Take close-ups of the textures of stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, and the mottled walls for a rich sense of texture. ● Outfit Suggestion: Wear Hanfu! This is an excellent backdrop for ancient-style photoshoots; simply standing here makes you look like a figure from a painting. Noon: Light, Shadow, and Rest ● Rest briefly after lunch, avoiding the strong overhead light of midday. Afternoon: A Black, White, and Gray Ink Wash World ● The afternoon's oblique light casts long shadows on the buildings, making it perfect for capturing photos with an ink wash painting aesthetic. ● Focus on photographing the side courtyards, such as Changsan Ancestral Temple and Changqi Ancestral Temple, where there are fewer people and good depth of field. Evening: Return to the City, Switch Styles ● Return to Jinhua and check into the Rongjingwan Hotel. ● Hotel Photography: The hotel's design blends New Chinese and modern elements. In your room, use the floor-to-ceiling windows to frame the city skyline with the indoor Song-style furniture, creating a sophisticated "living in the scenery" feel. Night: Dazzling Lights ● Yanweizhou Park: Easily accessible by walking across the bridge.
