Hey, fellow travel enthusiasts! If you're tired of the crowded popular tourist spots, then this autumn, join me in discovering Linkeng Ancient Village, a hidden gem tucked away in the mountains of southern Zhejiang! (✧ω✧) Here, free from over-commercialization, you'll find pristine ancient dwellings, gurgling streams, cascading terraced fields, and the exclusive autumn "sun-drying" feast! Save this two-day, one-night guide to easily capture Instagram-worthy photos! 📍[Where is Linkeng Ancient Village?] Linkeng Ancient Village is located in Yantan Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, at the source of the Nanxi River. It's approximately 60 kilometers from downtown Wenzhou and a four-hour drive from Hangzhou. With over 700 years of history, this pristine ancient village is known as the "Shangri-La of Southern Zhejiang." 🗺️ [Route Plan: Two-Day, One-Night Immersive Experience] 📍Day 1: Arrive at Linkeng → Wander the Ancient Village → Enjoy the Night View - Morning: We recommend driving (use "Linkeng Ancient Village" on your navigation). Parking is available for 10 yuan per day. The winding mountain roads require careful driving, but the scenery is definitely worth it! - Noon: Enjoy lunch upon arrival. Try the Yongjia wheat cakes (crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside) freshly baked by the grandmother at the village entrance, or the traditional stream fish hot pot. - Afternoon: Stroll along the ancient village's bluestone paths and admire the century-old wooden stilt houses nestled against the mountainside. Recommended check-in spots: - Chenxiang Corridor Bridge and Yong'an Stone Bridge: From the bridges, you can overlook the fusion of the stream and the ancient village. - Observation Deck: A 30-minute hike up from the back of the village offers a panoramic view of the ancient village (terraced fields, ancient houses, and distant mountains). - Autumn drying platform (if you visit between late October and early November, you might see an early autumn drying scene). - Evening: As dusk falls, the ancient village's red lanterns light up one after another, their reflections in the stream creating a magical world straight out of "Spirited Away." Stay in a village homestay (such as "Lin's Shop" or "Linkeng Impression Inn") to gaze out the window at the mountains and drift off to sleep to the sound of the creek. 📍Day 2: Morning Mist Photography → Cultural Experience → Return or Local Tour - Early Morning: Be sure to wake up early! The morning mist between 5 and 7 pm still lingers, and the cobblestone paths are shimmering with light, making it the perfect time to capture the village's ink-and-wash painting-like atmosphere. - Morning: Experience local culture: - Observe villagers weaving or woodcarving. - If it's autumn, join in the autumn drying (corn, peppers, tomatoes, etc., spread across the eaves to dry on plaques). - Lunch: Enjoy a bowl of hearty bamboo tube rice (simmered over a wood fire, the bamboo aroma permeates the glutinous rice) or homemade Tujia tofu. - Afternoon: You can choose to return home or visit nearby attractions: - Yantou Ancient Village (40-minute drive): Explore the "Lishui Street" water conservancy system from the Song Dynasty. - Shiweiyan Scenic Area (1-hour drive): Enjoy the Danxia landforms and canyon rafting, perfect for nature lovers. 😋 [Food Recommendations] - Yongjia Wheat Cake: Authentic, made with preserved mustard greens and pork, freshly baked at the village entrance. - Stream Fish Pot: Wild stream fish paired with homemade tofu, a delectable delicacy. - Bamboo Tube Rice: Simmered over a wood fire, the bamboo aroma permeates the glutinous rice—a must-try! - Tujia Tofu: Handmade and served with a special dipping sauce, simple yet delicious. 🚗[Transportation] - Self-driving is highly recommended: Just navigate to "Linkeng Ancient Village." Parking within the village costs 10 yuan per day. - Public Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Wenzhou South Station, transfer to a bus to Yantan Town, and then take a taxi for about 30 minutes (it's a bit of a hassle, so pay attention to bus schedules). 👍[Advantages] 1. Authentic Ancient Village: 700 years old, this village is free of over-commercialization, preserving the rustic mountain dwellings and tranquil atmosphere. 2. Autumn Drying: From mid-November to mid-December, households dry their crops (corn, peppers, tomatoes, etc.), creating a vibrant display of colors reminiscent of an oil painting and perfect for photography. 3. A magical night scene: When the red lanterns are lit, the ancient village resembles the world of "Spirited Away," creating a vibrant atmosphere. 4. Convenient connections to surrounding areas: Plan short trips to attractions along the Nanxi River, such as Yantou Ancient Village and Shiwei Rock. 👎【Notes】 1. Autumn sun drying isn't available year-round: The best viewing period is from mid-November to mid-December. You might not see the grand spectacle of sun drying in September or October, but the natural scenery and charm of the ancient village remain. 2. Transportation is slightly inconvenient: Public transportation is infrequent, so be mindful of the winding mountain roads if driving. Experienced drivers are recommended. 3. Limited accommodations: Most of the village's B&Bs are converted from old houses, with simple facilities. Those with high standards should be prepared. 4. Weather can have a significant impact: On rainy days, the mountains are prone to fog and slippery roads, so bring non-slip shoes and rain gear. On sunny days, use sunscreen. Final reminder: This guide is for reference only. Please refer to the actual opening information. Protect the environment, take away your trash, and respect local customs! #Check-in Autumn Limited Colors #Local Food #Have Fun with Friends #The Places Most Asked About on WeChat Moments #Niche Discovery Club

As a corrupt hiking team, meals are arranged. This time, the plan for hiking the Wenling Ring Road was to go down the mountain from Wulongshan Square via Shifuren to Nancheng Bus Station. The whole journey was about 10 kilometers. In order to have a hot lunch, we went down directly from Tengling, cut 3 kilometers, and finally caught up with most restaurants before closing at noon to reach the reserved stalls. This time, we checked in at the seafood stall Linjia Shop (Jinyuan Store) which is very close to the end of the hike. This is also a time-honored small seafood stall in Wenling, known as the ceiling of Wenling home-cooked dishes, and the price-performance ratio is also good. There is a menu board for ordering dishes, but basically everyone will directly look at the dishes on display. Because there are so many people, a lot of dishes were ordered, including home-cooked fish, scallion oil clams, steamed mantis shrimp, sand garlic bean noodles, braised hairtail, cold jellyfish, and a lot of other non-seafood dishes. All the dishes are traditional Taizhou home-cooked, and they really taste like home. Because it was past mealtime, the dishes were served quickly, but the quality was stable, and everyone was hungry after the hike, so the satisfaction was doubled. On a sunny and warm winter day, hiking in the mountains and rewarding your stomach with small seafood, this weekend couldn't be more perfect. Sure enough, the end of the hike is the appetite. Address: No. 13, Building 14, Nanping Road, Taiping Street, Wenling City, Taizhou City (opposite to the Fourth Middle School) Per capita: 70-100 yuan #Winter Travel Guide #Try the authentic old brand #Eat a seafood feast #Local food #Food Festival

Tips to Avoid: - For Shaoxing Wupeng Boats, opt for a "one-way" experience, not a full-day package (easy to get tired of); Nanxun rickshaw drivers often recommend "combination tickets," which are often overpriced; buying individual scenic spot tickets is more cost-effective. 2. Tips for Avoiding Peak Seasons: - The hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy is densest with lanterns after 7 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays; the morning mist at Nanxun Baijianlou is at its most enchanting on Wednesdays; avoid tour groups for morning tea in Xinshi between 5 and 7 PM. 3. Style Tips: - For water towns, bring an indigo tie-dyed skirt and an oil-paper umbrella (for reflective effect); for ancient temples, wear a cream-colored linen robe with a jade hairpin; use your phone in "soft light mode" for instant photos! ✨ To the sober traveler: "What we're giving up isn't Wuzhen, but the crowded compromises; What we're embracing is more than just tranquility, but the Zen sound of ginkgo leaves falling on scriptures." #UnpopularAncientTownCeiling #JiangnanFreeSecrets #FemaleSoloTravelerSafetyHandbook
