Xinchang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Dafo Temple Scenic Spot Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
You must go!!
Went to the Xinchang Dafo Temple in Shaoxing with mom...
Set off from Beilun by coach, it took an hour and 40 minutes...
Stopped at a service station on the way and used the restroom.
The reclining Buddha is a must-see, it's spectacular! You need to climb stairs to get there. It's quite high up
Further inside, you need to buy a small ticket 🎫 20 yuan per person, children under 1.2 meters are free. The first big Buddha, it is said to be over 200 years older than the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan.
Xinchang Great Buddha Temple, a peaceful place to calm your mind
People always say that when visiting Xinchang, the first stop must be the Great Buddha Temple, which has a history and culture of a thousand years.
The Great Buddha Temple was founded during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, worshipping Maitreya Buddha with a golden body in a seated posture. The incense is particularly prosperous, and the pilgrims come in an endless stream. There is also a Thousand Buddha Temple with a long history, and the two temples complement each other, adding much charm to the scenic area.
The Great Buddha Temple scenic area is also a home for citizens and a paradise for the masses. Along the way, the trees are lush, the peaks are hidden, the flowers are blooming, and the air is fresh, making it a great place for people to relax and rest. The Great Buddha Temple also offers free admission in March, and there are especially many devotees coming to offer their prayers. Many travel groups make it a point to visit, showcasing the pleasant scenery and providing a place for the soul to reside.
Xinchang Dafo Temple
Known as the largest Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River, it's not about the size, but rather that it's the earliest excavated Buddha, which dates back more than 1600 years to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, to worship the Buddha, you need to pay 20 yuan for what is called a 'fragrant flower coupon,' which is not an entrance ticket, haha, those who are willing but without money should not come in.

Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Nothing beats the beauty of mother nature ❤️
Chuanyan Nineteen peaks is located in Xinchang County. It is a famous place for hiking for the scenic view is beyond compare. Once you arrived at the peak, you will see the beauty of nature. It is so empowering that you will forget everything. You will feel peace and a sense of accomplishment. It was one of my most unforgettable experience and I still wanna go back.
It was during Chinese National Holiday which is in October when my friend and I went there. We joined a group tour from the popular travel agency for expats named OK Deal.
So if you are in Shanghai you can visit there page in wechat.
Xinchang's Shiyun Nineteen Peaks
After visiting the Xinchang Dafo Temple, I went to the nearby Shiyun Nineteen Peaks. I guess there are nineteen peaks? The scenery is indeed nice, and if you're physically fit, you can climb the mountains, which requires a fee of twenty yuan. Alternatively, walking in the mountain stream is also a good choice.
Shanghai Surroundings|Go to Xinchang for the New Year
On the morning of the second day of the New Year, I followed a group of 24 people on a two-day tour to Xinchang.
The itinerary is as follows:
On the first day, we hiked in the Xiayanbei Village of Shijiu Peak, about 3KM in total.
In the evening, we set off fireworks to make up for the incomplete childhood of city children.
On the second day, we hiked the Anshan Ancient Trail, about 5.5KM in total, and in the afternoon, we experienced the process of making corn cakes and glutinous rice cakes in Waipokeng Village.
Last National Day, I was stuck on this route to the point of madness. I thought I would encounter the same situation this time, but I did encounter some traffic jams. There were more than one car accidents on the highway in Shaoxing section, which caused more than an hour of congestion. In the scenic area, because the small cars filled the mountain village parking lot, it was difficult for the tourist bus to drive.
But overall, it should be much better than the large flow of tourists in the next few days, and the sky is very beautiful, no rain, big sun, high temperature, with the feeling of early spring, very suitable for going out.
Xiayanbei Village, I personally think there is not much special.
The Anshan Ancient Trail is very suitable for hiking beginners. It is said that this is really the last year, and it will not be open to build a reservoir soon.
Waipokeng has more projects to receive tour groups, some restaurants do not accept individual customers, suitable for a visit.
Overall, Xinchang is still worth a visit, and there are many and scattered attractions, suitable for self-driving tours, not suitable for group tours.
Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks: A less-known spot for check-in, a good place for hiking and mountain climbing!
Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks is located in the southwest of Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province, and is a comprehensive scenic spot with mountains, secluded valleys, caves, green shades, waterfalls, streams, bridges, running water, and ancient towns as the main themes.
The nineteen peaks in the scenic area are connected to each other, with different shapes, which are breathtaking. In the deep secluded valley, the mountain streams are gurgling, the trees are shaded, the air is fresh, and it seems to be in a paradise.
Taitou Mountain is the highest peak of Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire scenic area. The Boot is a peculiar cave with various strange-shaped stones inside, which has a unique flavor. Jingling Ancient Town is a well-preserved ancient town from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where you can feel the rich historical and cultural atmosphere. Walking here is like traveling through time and space, returning to ancient times.
Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks Scenic Spot is an excellent tourist spot integrating landscape, culture, and history.

A secluded luxury villa-style hotel nestled in the cliffs and valleys

Shaoxing Xinchang Chengtan Street
Shaoxing Xinchang Anlan Hotel, located in a quiet valley in Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but closely connected with the natural scenery, surrounded by green mountains and clear streams. With its unique design and first-class service, it has won praise from tourists from all over the world. From a distance, the design of the hotel cleverly blends into the surrounding environment, with smooth lines and elegant shapes. The decoration of the lobby is simple but elegant, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows fill the entire space with natural light, giving people a sense of unity with nature. The hotel's dining is also a highlight. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including authentic Shaoxing dishes and various international cuisines.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city | Immerse yourself in an 'empty realm' of having nothing, dwelling deep within the secluded valleys and waters
It was a sudden decision to go to Xinchang, departing from the Lan Ting in Shaoxing. After checking the distance, one hour, we set off.
The car meandered through the Chuan Yan Nineteen Peaks, known as the 'Little Guilin of Jiangnan', and we even made a point to count if there were indeed 'nineteen peaks'. The valley was serene, and Xinchang Anlan was nestled between steep peaks, backed by the Hanfei River.
The landscape was scattered, perfectly blending with the architecture. Closing the door of the hotel room, it became a quiet realm of one's own, listening to the babbling water outside the window, brewing a pot of Yan Xiangfei tea, and talking about the past.
At dusk, we took the 'cloud ladder' directly to the top of the mountain from across the hotel lobby, and after walking up the stairs for a while, we arrived at a secret village amidst the clouds and mist.
Immersed in the secret realm of the valley without a word, or perhaps shouting from the top of the peak, this is the moment of 'having nothing' that we desired.

silas_atticuswinterbourne This is definitely a beautiful place to travel with dogs
In November last year, I was looking for places around Hangzhou where I could travel with my dog. After reading the introduction of netizens on Ctrip, I first booked Tianmu Yin Hotel because dogs are allowed. So I arranged for the weekend, checked the weather forecast, and on this sunny day, I drove from Hangzhou for more than 2 hours directly to Xinchang Tianmu Yin Hotel. The hotel is located on Tianmu Mountain. Going up along the mountain road, guided by the navigation, I found that the scenery on the mountain was really beautiful. After completing the check-in procedures and taking a short rest, I consulted the front desk staff, and drove up to the top of the mountain that afternoon. There is a large lawn on the top of the mountain for dogs to play. In less than ten minutes, we reached the top of the mountain. The lawn is large, sitting on the lawn, overlooking the surrounding mountains, you can see all the small mountains. Heaven, earth and man are integrated, it's so cool. The weather was good that day, lying on the lawn in the sun, the little dog ran around on its own, very happy.
