Danaye·Jinhua Mountain Little Iceland

Danaye·Jinhua Mountain Little Iceland

5
3.9/5
20 reviews

Danaye·Jinhua Mountain Little Iceland is a cultural and tourism space in Jinhua Mountain transformed from an abandoned mine. It was once an old limestone mining area. After the lime factory ceased production, only steep, exposed gray-black rock walls and deep pits remained. It later became popular after the movie "The Southernmost Land" was filmed here. The giant wooden whaling ship built by the film crew is still stranded on the gravel beach by the lake, becoming a highly recognizable scene. Today, the gray-black rock walls surround a pool of clear, azure mine lake water. The pervasive mist and the black swans swimming on the lake make the entire valley look cold and empty, possessing the temperament of a Nordic wilderness, which is why it is called the "Little Iceland of Jiangnan." The craggy rock walls, the stranded whaling ship, the black stone beach by the lake, and land art installations such as "Wedding Under the Glacier Ruins" and "Lone Boat in the Mist" are all popular photo spots. A mine-themed bookstore is embedded under the rock wall, and the park is scattered with rock-style creative cafes and wilderness camping areas. The open mine water area has been transformed into a diving base where you can experience diving and other water activities. The temperature in the valley is lower than in the city all year round, making it especially cool in summer, suitable for taking photos, camping, and leisurely strolling. Wearing dark or solid-colored clothing creates a stronger contrast with the gray-black mountains, resulting in better photos.

Since ancient times, the ancient city of Wuzhou has been famous in the south of the Yangtze River for its dual-city structure (sub-city and prefectural city). The sub-city was built in the third year of Chuping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (192), and the prefectural city was built in the third year of Tianfu in the Tang Dynasty (903). It was renovated many times during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. After the renovation during the Shunzhi period, it was known as "the city of Liangzhe is the first". It was once a gathering place for government offices, supervisory offices, examination halls, and Confucian temples in history, and it was the political, cultural, and military center of Jinhua in all dynasties. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the ancient city of Wuzhou has withstood the ravages of war and the impact of urbanization, and the overall structure has been destroyed to a certain extent. However, Bayong Road, Jiufang Lane, Gulouli, and other blocks still preserve about 15,000 square meters of historical buildings. It is the only relatively intact one in Jinhua City, carrying the history and blood of Jinhua. The ancient sub-city is rich in history and culture, and there are a total of 54 cultural relics protection units and registered historical buildings preserved to date. There is one national key cultural relic protection site (the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Prince Shi Mansion), four provincial cultural relic protection sites (the Bayong Tower, Yongkang Kaoyu, the former site of the Taiwan Volunteer Corps, and the office of General Li Youbang), six municipal cultural relic protection sites (the former site of Zhejiang Chao, the General Tower, the former site of the Zhenshen Church, the former site of the Gospel Hospital, the Exhibition Hall of the Three Heroes of the He Family, and Mantang Academy), three cultural relic protection sites, and 40 registered historical buildings.

Pingyan Cave, known as the "No. 1 Cave Heaven in Jiangnan", is the largest natural scenic spot in Hengdian. With its strange rocks, steep cliffs, deep caves and gurgling streams, it has naturally become a blessed place for Taoist practice. Taoist temples such as the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Wong Tai Sin, Hu Gong and Eight Immortals are built along the steep walls. The stunning scenery of Pingyan Cave is the Jinsi Stream on Houyan Mountain. The stream is a straight and awe-inspiring stone crack from the top of the rock to the foot of the mountain. It is no more than 1 meter wide and is measurable yet unmeasurable. It is a magical work of nature left in Pingyan Cave. If you stand on the top of the rock and look down at the bottom of the stream, the four words "abyss of ten thousand feet" will definitely pop up in your mind. Although it is far from a distance of ten thousand feet, this vertical sight can give people a surprising illusion. Many people who come here will pick up a small stone and throw it gently into the middle of the stream. Because the two walls of the stream are uneven, the small stone bounces in it and makes a crisp sound all the way, as if someone played a little tune casually, until the small stone finally becomes silent. Pingyan Cave Mansion and each scenic spot are filled with magical Taoist legends. You can listen to them while walking and pondering, and it feels like the truth, which is Unlimited fun.

Family! Jinhua's "Little Iceland" Dana is also super cool! The ruins style is matched with the azure blue lake, and the photos are high-end. The surrounding area is the natural scenery of Jinhua Mountain, and the air is fresh. This place is niche and unique, and there are not many people, so you can have fun. Don't miss this treasure when you come to Jinhua. Highly recommended!

The environment is beautiful. The park designed by a designer is different. The cruise ship is worth a ride, the viewing platform is worth a visit, and the Lanhu restaurant is worth a meal. There are not enough amusement facilities. I think a Ferris wheel can be added to overlook the entire lake. It will definitely be very popular.

It is on the mountain opposite the Dongyang River, which is also the commanding height of Yiwu. The mountain is not very high and can be climbed in less than half an hour. The most famous is the Jiming Pavilion, which overlooks the whole Yiwu, but you can only go in from the outside. The surrounding scenery is good and the view is also very wide. I also met a couple taking wedding photos. I heard that the night view is good. Come and see it if you have a chance.

The Yuanming New Garden in Hengdian is truly amazing! A 1:1 replica of the "Garden of Gardens," the Spring Garden boasts red walls and yellow tiles, and the expansive Fuhai Lake. The Summer Garden features Western-style buildings, the Grand Fountain, and the twelve zodiac animal head fountains—absolutely breathtaking. There are also immersive palace performances throughout the day, and taking photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) is incredibly photogenic. It's both beautiful and fun, definitely worth a special trip!

Recommended off-the-beaten-path photo spots in the ancient city: **Dongfang Zaobai Bookstore (Baoningmen Branch)** This popular bookstore is hidden under the arch of Baoning Gate. Its design blends ancient style with modern aesthetics, and the second-floor book bar offers excellent views. **Xichun Lane** This lane features six intangible cultural heritage museums and a "cake street," offering experiences related to Wuzhou kiln, paper cutting, and Buddha's hand culture. Compared to the bustling Bayong Road, Xichun Lane is less crowded, and its bluestone paths and carved doorways exude a Jiangnan charm. On rainy days, the wet stone paths reflect the old houses, creating stunning photos when worn in Hanfu. **Jiufang Lane** This ancient lane from the Song Dynasty is now home to niche cafes and handicraft workshops. The old walls are covered in graffiti depicting swallows, koi fish, and girls in ancient costumes, radiating a sense of history. **Gulouli Cultural and Creative Entrepreneurship Park, Area A** This art space, converted from an old factory, is filled with creative installations and graffiti. The park features niche craft shops and cafes, making it a great spot for artsy young people to visit and take photos.

From my hotel near Wanda Plaza, it's a 1.7-kilometer walk to Wuzhou Ancient City. My first stop was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Prince's Mansion, the residence of Li Shixian, a famous general in the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. The mansion's three treasures—stone dragon carvings, painted murals, and a thousand-year-old pine tree—are well worth seeing. Next to the Prince's Mansion is the Jinhua City Museum, a large-scale museum with a rich collection, offering insights into Jinhua's past. Along the streets of Wuzhou Ancient City are many smaller museums showcasing intangible cultural heritage items and crafts, such as Jinhua ham, paper-cutting, pastries, spring paintings, and traditional Chinese medicine, leaving a deep impression of Jinhua's long history and culture.

We went late and entered at 8:30. There were few guides from the service staff for male guests. The overall environment of the hot spring was good. It would be better if the price could be raised a little and some self-service fruits could be added.

The owner is very attentive; the courtyard is beautifully maintained. The 700-year-old camphor tree in front is easy to find, and the surrounding pristine scenery is incredibly relaxing! The white rice porridge for breakfast was especially delicious 😋 and the river is just a 1-minute walk away.

The overall exercise level of climbing Xianhua Mountain is suitable for taking children on a challenge. The uphill route to the main peak is interesting and challenging. First, go to the east line to visit the main attractions, and then go for a walk in the forest on the west line.
