Found the dream mountain living in Songyang, Lishui~ — traveler post in Sandu

Found the dream mountain living in Songyang, Lishui~

Off-season Songyang is really delightful~ No long lines of cars No rushing tourist crowds Only a few scattered visitors And villagers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset~ Hello 😊 I am exploring Zhejiang’s mountains, waters, and villages Continuing to share the ancient village tour of Songyang These photos were taken on 12/22-23, 2025 Location: Songzhuang Village, Songyang This small mountain village, known as the last secret place in Jiangnan, is located in Shandao, Sandu Township, about 40 minutes by car from the county seat. The mountain road is a bit rugged, but you will pass several ancient villages along the way, and the scenery is quite nice with several great spots for road photography. When you enter the village and hear the babbling stream, your heart instantly calms down~ 【Transportation】 It is recommended to drive yourself or rent a car/charter a vehicle, as public transport in the mountains is limited. We drove directly to the village entrance parking lot, with free parking and no entrance fee. 【Travel and Photography Sharing】 ▫️The best viewing platform is in the pavilion by the roadside above the parking lot, offering a panoramic view of the village (Photo 1) ▫️The village is small; a leisurely 2-hour walk is enough; By the stream, there is an art gallery, Peach Restaurant, a book bar on the restaurant’s second floor, and a popular ancient bridge; By the ancient bridge, we encountered a photography group and captured some ethereal shots. 【Accommodation Sharing】 Visiting Songyang in the off-season is all about experiencing mountain living, so we chose to stay in the ancient village. Peach Wild Homestay in Songzhuang Village was the best accommodation during this Lishui trip. It felt like I found the dream mountain home I’ve always been searching for. I liked it so much I didn’t want to leave~ A two-story rustic loft villa, each villa has a poetic name. The first floor has a high-ceiling living room, and from the courtyard at the entrance, you can see the mountain view and sunset. The second-floor rooms are spacious and suitable for yoga (yoga mats provided). White wooden pillars, rafters, doors, and door stoppers make it feel like living back in a childhood home~ Warm bedside lamps, poetry collections within easy reach, air conditioning and floor heating throughout the house. A thought just popped up— this could be my other home in the mountains 😀 One 【Nearby Attractions】 Sandu Township 📍 Yangjiatang Village 📍 Youtian Village 📍 Shangtian Village These can be combined into a one- or two-day trip~ More about the Lishui and Jinhua trip Route sharing coming soon~

Never been to Altay! But I captured the same horseback makeup style as Yu Shi in Guizhou! — traveler post in Sandu

Never been to Altay! But I captured the same horseback makeup style as Yu Shi in Guizhou!

Everyone has an Altay in their heart. When the wind blows, it makes you want to go to Xinjiang. This grassland, this drama, will be remembered for a very long time. · Because of Yu Shi’s "My Altay," I yearn for Xinjiang even more. Batai is the boy on horseback. Every move he makes with the horse is so natural and simple. He treats the horse as his close friend and shares his thoughts with it. The person galloping across the vast grassland is Batai, also Yu Shi, and deep inside, it’s me longing for freedom. · This time on my trip to Guizhou, at the village horse racing field in Sandu, Qiannan, the moment I wore ethnic intangible cultural heritage costumes and interacted closely with the horses made me feel like that free and brave boy again! You must come to Sandu, Qiannan to shoot horseback photos at least once. I did my makeup and styling at the village horse racing field, combining horseback riding and travel photography all in one. Every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece! · “Go love, go live, go get hurt.” Altay will always be the gentlest dream in my heart. May we all have light in our eyes and wilderness in our hearts. Ride your dreams freely like a horse 🐎

Hidden in Songyang, the "Golden Potala Palace," with loess walls covered in the patterns of time — traveler post in Sandu

Hidden in Songyang, the "Golden Potala Palace," with loess walls covered in the patterns of time

Yangjiatang Village: A "Golden Palace" hidden in Jiangnan, basking in 600 years of sunlight on its loess walls As the car just turned past the bend at the end of the tea garden, the entire village emerged from the mountain hollow—more than 20 loess houses stacked like layers pressed by the mountain wind, climbing toward the hilltop. The walls glowed golden-red in the afternoon sun. The guide, an elderly woman, squinted and smiled: "This is the 'golden robe' Heaven gave to our Yangjiatang. When it rains, it turns ochre, much prettier than the tall buildings in the city." 🌾 The "fingerprints of time" on the loess walls "You need some strength to touch this wall," the elderly woman’s palm brushed over the mottled loess. "It’s mixed with glutinous rice juice and tung oil, still rock hard after six hundred years." The wall surface was covered with fine cracks, like the veins on an old person's hand—one sunken spot held a child's handprint. "That was pressed by Afu’s child during the Republic of China era. Now his grandson is already a grandpa." The oldest building, the "Juren House," had wooden carvings on the lintel worn smooth by time. The doorstep was worn shallow by generations of footsteps. The elderly woman said, "The scholars taking the imperial exams used to bow their heads on this doorstep. When one finally passed, the whole village came to touch this spot for good luck." Corn cobs hung under the eaves, their tassels drooping to the wall’s base, casting shadows on the yellow wall like a swaying painting. 🌫 The "smoke code" in the morning mist At five in the morning, the village was wrapped in a white mist. A chimney from one household began to smoke first, like a thin gray ribbon slowly curling over the neighbor’s roof. The elderly woman carried a bamboo basket and walked toward the creek, dew wetting her blue cloth headscarf. "This mist is the 'mountain spirit.' When the sun climbs over the eastern mountain peak, it turns into dew, making the tea garden shine." When the mist cleared, sunlight slanted into the village, gilding the layered rooftops. The elderly woman in a red jacket was turning rice on the drying ground; grains bounced against the yellow wall, rolling out a delicate sound. Under a 300-year-old camphor tree, a few hens pecked at the ground. The tree’s shadow swayed on the yellow wall, turning time into slow motion. 🚲 The "dialogue between old and new" of tea gardens and bookstores Driving 20 minutes from Yangjiatang Village to the county town is Damushan Tea Garden. Renting a bicycle, the wheels rolled over the stone paths between tea bushes, startling a few egrets. Tea farmer Uncle wore a bamboo hat and picked tea, pinching tender buds between his fingers. "Tea before Qingming is the most precious; one bud can brew three infusions of fragrance." Hidden on the cliff is Chenjiapu Village Bookstore, its glass walls framing the mountain scenery like a living painting. Between flipping pages, you can look up and see clouds drifting past the bookshelves. The staff said, "A girl from the city stayed here for three days watching the clouds. She said it was more healing than a café’s floor-to-ceiling windows." Practical Guide · Transportation: Take a bus from Lishui High-Speed Rail Station to Songyang (1 hour/19 yuan), then a county car to Yangjiatang Village (40 minutes/about 60 yuan); or take the Sandu Township bus (8 yuan), get off at the village entrance and walk 15 minutes (there are signs along the way; at forks, choose 'uphill'). · Best time to visit: April (new green tea gardens with yellow walls, rapeseed flowers spread along terraces); October (thickest morning mist, rice drying on the drying ground, yellow walls reflecting golden rice ears). Avoid the plum rain season (June-July, rainy, walls darken). · Must bring: Wide-angle lens (to capture the village’s terraced layout); light jacket (big temperature difference in the mountains early and late, sun comes out after mist clears); empty bottle (the old well water at the village entrance is sweet and drinkable). · Hidden experiences: Learn "yellow wall maintenance" from the elderly woman (using loess, straw, and glutinous rice juice to patch wall cracks); find "tea ears" in the tea garden (white thickened leaves mutated from tea tree buds, edible, sweet with a bit of astringency). When leaving, the sunset dyed the village honey-colored. The elderly woman stood under the camphor tree waving, her blue cloth headscarf fluttering in the wind. Suddenly, it was clear why it’s called the "Golden Potala Palace"—it lacks the palace’s grandeur but holds something more real than gold: wisdom hidden in the loess, days wrapped in cooking smoke, and those details polished soft by time, making this secret place in Jiangnan truly poetic.

Enjoy cherry blossoms and hot springs! This homestay in Jiande makes you not want to check out!! — traveler post in Sandu

Enjoy cherry blossoms and hot springs! This homestay in Jiande makes you not want to check out!!

Jiande · Yunman Songjian Hot Spring Boutique Stay Bamuqiu, Qianyuan Village, Sandu Town, Jiande First, let's talk about the location—it’s truly “well hidden”! The homestay is located in Bamuqiu, Qianyuan Village, Sandu Town, Jiande, at an altitude of over 700 meters. It’s not far from Meicheng Ancient Town, allowing you to enjoy absolute tranquility while still being convenient for a stroll in the ancient town. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou city center. Driving up winding roads, as the city noise is filtered away by layers of greenery, an old house surrounded by pine forests quietly appears, giving a delightful feeling of stepping into a hidden paradise. The main building of the homestay is an old house, but it has been carefully renovated by the China Academy of Art, perfectly preserving the texture and warmth of the original rammed earth walls while embedding large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Tradition and modernity collide here seamlessly. You can sit indoors and watch the light and shadows move across the earthen walls, with pine branches seemingly within reach outside the window, truly achieving “a view at every step.” The entire space is filled with Eastern Zen and modern luxury, with every corner matching my aesthetic perfectly. The homestay is not large, with only a little over ten rooms, but each one is uniquely crafted! Attention to detail is evident everywhere: Sealy mattresses that make you not want to get up, skin-friendly high-thread-count bedding, ensuring a peaceful sleep until morning. The whole house has floor heating! Warmth from your feet to your heart, so no need to worry about the cold mountain winters. Smart toilets, carefully selected toiletries, wireless charging, exquisite tea sets… you can see the host’s ultimate pursuit of quality. The homestay has its own restaurant, with most ingredients sourced locally. Breakfast is a well-matched Chinese health set meal, simple but satisfying. For main meals, you can book in advance; the chef uses seasonal bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, and free-range chicken and duck to cook authentic Jiande flavors. After dinner, be sure to visit the “Mountain Wild Food Bar,” where the host brews blueberry wine and buckwheat liquor. Sitting around the stove for a small drink, the atmosphere is instantly elevated.

Cherry Blossom Season! Stay with Your Pet in a Hot Spring Mountain Retreat! Jiande · Yunman Songjian — traveler post in Sandu

Cherry Blossom Season! Stay with Your Pet in a Hot Spring Mountain Retreat! Jiande · Yunman Songjian

· Jiande · Yunman Songjian Hot Spring Boutique Stay PINES HOUSE JIANDE First, let's talk about the location—it truly evokes the feeling of "seeking a recluse but not finding one." The guesthouse is nestled in Bamuqiu, Sandu Town, Jiande, near the quaint Meicheng Ancient Town. But the best part is that the guesthouse itself sits atop a hill over 700 meters above sea level, embraced by pine forests and a sea of clouds. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou. The drive includes a stretch of mountain road known as the "Little Sichuan-Tibet Line of Western Zhejiang." Although winding and twisting, the misty scenery upon arrival makes it all worthwhile. The guesthouse is a renovated old residence hidden among the pines. The most impressive part is that the design team from China Academy of Art was invited, and it took three full years to perfect. The designers cleverly preserved the most charming rammed earth walls and black tile roofs of the old house, while incorporating sleek black steel frames and entire walls of floor-to-ceiling glass windows. "The bright moon shines between the pines, clear spring flows over the stones"—the poetic imagery of the name is fully realized here. It feels less like a guesthouse and more like the home of a mountain recluse, full of rustic charm and relaxation. There are only about a dozen rooms, keeping the scale intimate. The rooms mainly feature natural wood and plain cement tones, with a simple and warm style. No compromises are made on high-quality details: the Sealy mattresses are so comfortable you won’t want to get up. The entire house has underfloor heating, so even in the deep winter chill of the mountains, it’s warm enough to walk barefoot indoors. Premium toiletries, smart toilets, wireless charging, and more reveal the owner’s pursuit of a quality lifestyle. Dining to the sound of pine waves improves your appetite by 30%. Breakfast offers a delicate Chinese set meal with balanced nutrition. For main meals, you can pre-order the guesthouse’s farmhouse dishes, many ingredients sourced locally or from the guesthouse’s own vegetable garden—free-range chicken, local pork, fresh bamboo shoots—all authentic flavors. Many guests rave about the dinner. In the afternoon, gather with friends in the common area around the stove to brew tea, with the crackling charcoal and fragrant tea filling the air. Roast some sweet potatoes and oranges, chat or daydream—this is the life you long for.

Western China Horse Racing City

It's worth going! The experience is great, the boss is very enthusiastic. As soon as we got there, the boss taught us a lot of things, such as how to look at the ears of a horse? For example, which ones are racehorses? The horses are also very good, some are very small, about less than 1 meter tall, and some are very big, 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters, and so on. I recommend everyone to go. My family likes it very much, and I will go again next time I come.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village

Choosing this place as a base for a self-driving trip to Bama is perfect. The geomagnetic hot spring is a highlight; the water is soothing and gentle, and a soak will wash away all your fatigue. The hotel is nestled in the mountains, quiet and comfortable, with stunning lake views. It's well-equipped, with a restaurant serving local specialties, a variety of hot spring pools to choose from, and good privacy. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's ideal for relaxing and unwinding, offering a truly relaxing and rejuvenating resort experience.

Danzhai Wanda Village

Stop and go, there will always be a scene that will make you linger. Walking on the streets of the small town and looking at the dazzling array of local snacks, and then experiencing Guizhou's soul food, Zhe Er Gen, will make me unforgettable in my life.

Jiafengyan Scenic Area

It is a very small scenic spot, but it is worth a visit. The scenery of the rural road is also very good. The first half of the scenic spot goes up along a clear stream, and the water is very clear. After reaching the big waterfall, we started to climb the mountain. The climbing section is circular. The waterside trail requires walking back. It is still recommended.

兔子兔子

Qin Han Film and Television City

It's worth a visit. I recommend entering the park around 5:00 PM, taking a stroll and some photos, then returning to the main gate around 5:45 PM to play games and interact with the NPCs. The activities are well-organized and last until 9:30 PM, and both adults and children have a great time. The NPCs are excellent and enthusiastic, and they really create a lively atmosphere. There are direct buses to the park.

Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

Libo Xiaoqikong, affectionately known as "Little Seventeen," is located at the border of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A scenic area. It gets its name from the seven-arched ancient bridge that spanned the Xiangshui River during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, connecting the two provinces. Hidden within its secluded valleys are crystal-clear waters, dotted with Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool), a water forest, and a 68-tiered waterfall, earning it the reputation of "the emerald on the Earth's belt." The karst landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, with clear, sparkling waters.
