We took a 5-yuan super shortwave taxi to get in, then walked a bit and took another 20-yuan bus to the halfway point. The climb was truly tiring. ~ We only took a few photos at the top. The Hand of God and the slide were completely deserted and dilapidated. The best part was just a short walk down the mountain!

The scenery was beautiful, but once we got to the top, we realized the waterfall was man-made... Just walk around; I don't recommend hiking.

Lishui Ancient Street is a beautiful ancient street. Strolling along, enjoying a cup of tea and a wheat cake is truly enjoyable. The cobblestone pavement stretches over 300 meters, and lanterns draped along the corridors create a beautiful landscape alongside towering, century-old trees.

This &quot;cradle of Chinese landscape poetry&quot; perfectly blends pastoral idyll with geological wonders: the crystal-clear river meanders through 36 bends and 72 rapids; while drifting on a bamboo raft, you can see the Shima Rock rising from the ground like the &quot;Sky Pillar of Southern Zhejiang,&quot; and waterfalls hidden in the deep valley below the cliff; along the coast, ancient villages such as Cangpo and Furong have completely preserved the architectural texture of the Song and Ming dynasties, and the farming and reading culture and clan heritage flow among the bluestone roads. You can explore strange peaks, enjoy waterfalls, and find the tranquility of a thousand years of humanities deep in the ancient village.

The Nanxi River Scenic Area is famous for its beautiful water, strange rocks, many waterfalls, ancient villages, and beautiful beaches and forests. The river here is clear and green, and the streams are winding, forming a beautiful landscape painting. Along the river bank, there are many quaint villages, such as Furong Ancient Village and Cangpo Ancient Village, which have completely preserved the traditional architectural style and folk culture, allowing people to deeply feel the tranquility and charm of the ancient village. In addition, there are many strange peaks and rocks around the Nanxi River, and waterfalls are cascading down, and the natural landscape is very charming. Tourists can take a boat on the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or stroll in the ancient village to explore the traces left by the years. It is a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature and ancient villages.

The following is mainly for reference for friends who do not drive themselves. We took the train to Yongjia High-speed Railway Station, walked west to Huangtian Avenue after exiting the station, and took the white minibus to Oubei-Yantou. For non-self-driving accommodation, Yantou&#39;s homestay is recommended, because Yantou is basically the center of the entire Nanxi River Scenic Area, with public transportation to all directions. There are bus lines 1, 2, and 3 at the Furong parking lot near Furong Ancient Village in the south of Yantou Town. Lines 1 and 2 go to Daruoyan, and Line 3 goes to Shiweiyan. According to the distance, the most expensive is 6 yuan, and you can use WeChat and Alipay.
Personally, I think the most beautiful scenery is Shiweiyan, where the mountains and waters are interesting and complement each other. The mountains and waters of Jiangnan are basically unmatched. The closest to Shiweiyan is Longwantan, which is relatively popular now, but Longwantan buses cannot reach it, so you need to charter a car to go there.
Shiziyan is in the south of Yantou. You will pass by it when you come from Yongjia High-speed Railway Station. The main purpose here is to play in the water. The river is wide and the water is not deep. It is only 6 kilometers away from Yantou.
Then there is the Dayuoyan Scenic Area, which is composed of several scenic spots, Taogong Cave, Yaxiaku, Shimentai, Twelve Peaks, etc. They are not far from each other. There are shuttle buses dedicated to the scenic area in Dayuoyan Scenic Area, a total of 10 small golf course battery cars, which will stop when you wave. The scenic area has regulations on fees, and they are all implemented in safety regulations. Taogong Cave is a temple that combines three religions. Those who are interested can take a look. Yaxiaku is a plank road along the cliff, which can overlook the scenery below the mountain. Shimentai is composed of 9 waterfalls up and down, and the ticket price of 25 yuan is very cost-effective. The most hateful thing is Twelve Peaks. There is no notice of suspension of business for maintenance, and locals outside Dayuoyan don&rsquo;t know.
There are many old streets and ancient villages in the Nanxi River Scenic Area, which are relatively primitive and not as commercial as the ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The food and accommodation are not expensive. The locals are calm, warm and kind. They will chat with you whenever they have the chance. They are really very nice. If you can&#39;t find the way, ask the locals. Everyone will show you the way enthusiastically. I talked to the ticket sellers in each scenic spot for a while. They were not annoying at all and took the initiative to introduce the surrounding attractions. This feeling is really good. Yandang Mountain, which is not far away, is completely incomparable. No wonder it was warned and delisted by the Tourism Committee. The consumption is about half of Yandang Mountain. No one tricks you into chartering a car, and no one asks you to stay overnight.
In the picture below, I have given the bus stop sign, which is clear at a glance when compared with the scenic spots.
