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

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.

From children's playful bamboo horses to the humorous and lively bamboo horse dance, from paper horses carrying wishes to the parading "high-spirited horses," from bench dragons to Pujiang Lei Ma (a type of horse lantern), horses, with their agile movements, are integrated into the rituals of seasonal festivals, sacrifices, and entertainment, carrying people's beautiful hopes. Poetic Zhejiang, with its lingering charm of Wuzhou culture, Pujiang's generations-old dragon and horse folk beliefs are not only cultural symbols maintaining local identity but also safeguarding the cultural roots of this land. Pujiang Lei Ma, also called Lei Da Ma or Lun Ma Deng, is a type of horse lantern with wheels at the bottom. During the Spring Festival, when the lanterns are lit, people gather at ancestral halls, beating gongs and drums, and parading through villages. Dragon and tiger banners, long banners, and colorful flags flutter in the wind, accompanied by a variety of musical ensembles, creating a strong local atmosphere. Pujiang Bench Dragon originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. As a component of the "Spring Festival," a human intangible cultural heritage item, it has been successfully inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Around the Lantern Festival, it is a custom in the rural areas of Pujiang to use bench dragons to entertain the gods and worship ancestors.

Take a half-hour high-speed train from Hangzhou to Pujiang, and you might accidentally stumble upon this “unconventional” Buddhist temple—no dense incense smoke, no cramped spaces, no commercial hustle, and even signs advising “No need to come often,” promoting a “come as fate brings you” vibe! The relaxed atmosphere is fully immersive, and when you leave, all you can think is “I want to come back!” 🐱 Healing Highlights: Cats, Ancient Architecture, and “Loose” Zen 1. A “Loose” Ancient Architecture Museum The monks have collected old Ming and Qing dynasty components from various places: stone pagodas, ancient Buddha statues, old inscriptions casually arranged but perfectly harmonious. Weathered stone steps, faded murals, crooked old trees—every corner exudes an unpretentious rustic Zen, making every photo tell a story 📷 2. No Donation Boxes + A Courtyard Full of Life No incense altars, no donation boxes, just freely growing flowers and plants, stray cats and dogs basking in the sun (super affectionate! They’ll rub your palm on their own), and occasionally you might get a vegetarian meal (light but comforting). Here, “asking for something” isn’t important; “sitting and daydreaming” is the real deal 🌿 3. Photography Is Free but with Boundaries You’re allowed to photograph Buddha statues, ancient buildings, cats, and dogs (pet them as much as you want!), but don’t photograph the monks or make noise. Afternoon sunlight filters through ancient tree branches, casting shadows on the cats’ backs—every snap is a masterpiece of “peaceful times” ✨ 🚄 Transportation and Nearby Attractions: Unlock Hidden Gems Along the Way - High-speed rail: Hangzhou East → Pujiang Station (about 30 minutes), then take a taxi directly to the temple (15 minutes, about 20 RMB); - Nearby spots to visit: ✅ Xinguang Village (10-minute drive): a Ming and Qing dynasty ancient village with bluestone paths and creative shops, perfect for capturing “slow life in Jiangnan”; ✅ Longde Temple Pagoda (15-minute drive): a Northern Song dynasty pagoda, climb it for panoramic views of Pujiang, stunning at sunset. 💡 Experience Tips - Outfit: Light-colored cotton-linen shirts (great for photos with ancient buildings and cats), bring a small cushion (stone benches in the courtyard are cold, sitting to feed cats is more comfortable); - Best time: 3-5 PM (soft sunlight, cats are active), avoid busy weekends; - Mindset: Don’t think about “asking for good luck,” just treat it as a place to “waste time”—watch cats fight, listen to the wind rustling leaves, smell the vegetarian meal aroma, and your fatigue will vanish automatically 🌙 Summary: This Is How a Temple Should Be The “unconventional” style of Longtan Ancient Temple is exactly the “relaxation” urbanites lack—no KPI-style blessings, just the purring of cats, the breathing of ancient buildings, and the freedom of the wind. Next time you visit Pujiang, don’t just tour the sights—come here, sit for a while, let the cats heal you, and let the ancient buildings tell you: “Slow down, and that’s enough.” Jinhua Travel

It's really hard to imagine such a relaxed temple here! 🏯 Longtan Ancient Temple 📍 Address: National Highway 351, Pujiang County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province Seeing signs inside the temple that say "No need to come often" and "Meet as fate allows" instantly drew me in with its laid-back vibe~ This is truly the most "Buddhist chill" temple I've ever seen! 🏯 Stepping into Longtan Ancient Temple ◾️ Unique Sculptures Right at the entrance, I was captivated by the Buddha statues here. Most of them wear gentle smiles, and there's even one adorned with an elaborate headdress that makes you want to take a longer look. ◾️ Red Doors Even more special are the temple’s doors, painted red with gold accents, featuring sculptures of guardian deities. It feels so ceremonial! Perfect for photos! ◾️ Clingy Cats There are also many clingy cats here 🐈‍⬛🐈, you can pet them freely~ They’re not afraid of people at all, and some will even come over for a cuddle. 🔥 I declare Longtan Ancient Temple my favorite temple recently! 🙏 Healing my "Relaxed Vibes" Since last year, temples have become trendy spots for artsy check-ins, but I hadn’t visited any. Why? 🤔 I always thought temples should have incense smoke and a solemn atmosphere, right? Visiting Longtan Ancient Temple completely changed my impression! 👀 At first glance, I thought it was an ancient architecture museum—the two bright red doors at the entrance with guardian deity paintings really catch your eye 👀. But once inside, the charm is in the details: - 🕳️ Stone walls flank the doors, hiding many small Buddha statues inside and behind the doors 🙏, super cute; - 🐈 The temple is home to a few “cat masters” 🐈, lazily sunbathing in corners; - 🌿 The outer walls are covered with greenery 🌿, with a few small flowers blooming; - 🐉 The best part is the dragon head sculpture in Longtan Square 🐉! Hanging on the dragon’s head is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva 🙏, absolutely beautiful~ 📸 Snap Stunning Shots! This temple is incredibly photogenic 😍! Every shot is a masterpiece: standing on the stone walls, on Longtan Square, sitting on big rocks, crouching on the steps… every angle works. Especially at dusk, when the lights come on, the atmosphere is just perfect! 📌 Notes: - 💰 Free admission (but there is a donation box); - 🚗 Only half an hour from Hangzhou; - 🚽 No public restrooms (but there’s a farmer’s house nearby you can use); - 🍜 Not much food nearby (recommend bringing your own snacks); - 💡 Check opening hours before you go~ (Closed on Mondays)
