Nanxi River | Top Essence Day Tour of Mountain and Countryside Scenery
Nanxi River, a national scenic area known for its mountain and countryside scenery, is only 50 kilometers away from the highly developed city of Wenzhou, yet it presents a completely different face, like a hermit hidden in the city.
A 3-day tour in winter, although it coincided with continuous overcast weather, making the photos less than ideal, the experience was not diminished, especially when compared to Beijing, the difference in air quality is huge.
The tour is centered around Yantou Town, where I stayed for several days, and you can either drive yourself or hire a car in the town. The 3-day itinerary includes, in addition to Yantou, 7 other ancient villages and 4 mountains, none of which are very strenuous to climb, with each mountain taking no more than 2 hours to ascend and descend
Twelve Peaks
A group of peaks rise up like pillars, crowded and staggered, creating a beautiful disorder;
Cliff Bottom Storehouse
An eighty-meter cliff has a plank road built upon it, as well as a glass platform, which looks dangerous, but is actually not difficult to walk the entire way;
Daitou Village
This ancient village ranks first in my Nanxi River itinerary, sitting under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village, it feels like being in another world.
Linkeng
The most famous and mature ancient village, possibly because I missed the drying season, my experience was not good;
Yubei Village
A very simple ancient village, with the Shangshu Shrine, Yubei Armed Uprising Monument, and many slogans left from the past, witnessing history and time together, ranking just after Daitou Village in my list;
Xikou
Xikou Village produced a family in the Southern Song Dynasty that had 'four generations of scholars from one family', including Dai Meng and Dai Tong, who were famous Neo-Confucian scholars at the time;
Cangpo
The architecture in the village is full of cultural connotations, incorporating inspirations from the Four Treasures of the Chinese study;
Furong Village
Furong ancient village can be described as 'Nanxi River has no art gallery, the village itself is an art gallery', with a pavilion built on the water echoing the distant mountains, showing a spiritual aura.
Shiwei Rock
A giant peak that resembles a ship's mast, hence the name Shiwei Rock, is considered a landmark of Nanxi River;
Longwan Pool
The highlight is the 'Sevenfold Waterfall', with seven pools and seven waterfalls connected, making a spectacular sight;
Pengxi Village
In the village, there is a Kang Le Pavilion, commemorating the villagers' ancestor Kang Le Gong Xie Lingyun, and outside the village, there is a recently popular internet-famous waterfall.
On Yantou Town, there are Ta Mountain Park, a church; Lishui Ancient Street (15 yuan for a ticket, free after 5 pm), all worth a visit.
🎫Tickets: All the above mountains require tickets, some villages also have tickets ranging from 10 to 20 yuan, some are free.

The Nanxi River Scenic Area in Wenzhou
Hidden in the secret realm of mountains and rivers, the Nanxi River Gorge in Wenzhou, a lesser-known spot in southern Zhejiang, is home to the solitary peak and giant rock that rises abruptly from the ground. Standing at 306 meters tall and resembling a ship's mast, it is aptly named 'Shimao Rock' and is also known as the 'Pillar of Southern Zhejiang'.
However, what's even more extraordinary is that nine peaks, ranging in height from 100 to 200 meters and varying in shape, surround and protect Shimao Rock. Like stars holding up the moon, they cluster around this 'Pillar of Southern Zhejiang'. The surrounding area is also bordered by streams on three sides, with steep cliffs, green pines, and ancient vines adding to the beauty. It can be described as possessing the qualities of being 'majestic', 'strange', 'dangerous', 'elegant', and 'secluded'. Travel and sightseeing guide

Shiwei Rock Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Celebrating the New Year: A Leisurely Two-Day Tour in Yongjia
There's no festive atmosphere in the city, so at the invitation of my best friend, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I took my parents and grandparents for a drive to Yongjia, Wenzhou to celebrate the New Year✌
To ensure that all team members could participate in all activities, the itinerary was very relaxed, not tiring, and included plenty of eating, playing, and touring😀
🌟👉Yongjia, the fourth largest county in Zhejiang Province and the largest county in Wenzhou, is home to the famous Nanxi River scenic area, as well as a number of large and small ancient villages scattered along the river.
△ ————————△
1⃣⛰Shimao Rock🌸~'Seeking the beauty along the creek, we come upon the Shimao Rock'
🔸The Nanxi River scenic area has many attractions that are spread out. Considering that we have many elderly people with us, we chose Shimao Rock, which is the flattest and most suitable for leisurely strolls, with an entrance fee of 50 yuan.
🔹Different from the experience of rafting on the Nanxi River several years ago in summer, the water level is low in winter. Although the color palette is more desolate, the exposed riverbed has become the place where everyone lingers and plays the longest.
🔺Shimao Rock is a solitary peak formed by a volcanic eruption over a hundred million years ago. It rises from the valley and resembles a ship's mast, hence the name. The pure water is like an emerald belt, winding and turning, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, sometimes slow, sometimes rapid, and walking into it, one can truly feel the magical power of nature.
△ ————————△
2⃣⛩Meitan Ancient Village🌸∽'Old friends bring chickens and millet, inviting me to their farm home'
🔸My best friend's home is in Meitan Village, Hesheng Town, formerly known as Meipo Village, the fifth batch of historical and cultural villages in Zhejiang, together with Cangpo Village, they are known as the two pearls on the banks of the Nanxi River, with the reputation of 'Cangpo of literature, Meipo of martial arts'.
🔹The entire village has the surname Gu, with many martial arts families, and retains many old houses. The most worth visiting are the Meitan Gu Residence and Meitan Mansion, built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, respectively. The architecture is exquisite, the door art is refined, and the brick carvings and window patterns are very beautiful. If interested, you can also visit the Gu family ancestral hall, Yi Huai public ancestral hall, and Long Dian ancestral hall, as well as the ancient cypress tree that is over 900 years old...
🔺The main thoroughfare into the village is another scene altogether, with several Dingbu bridges spanning the Nanxi River. On one side of the bridge, villagers sit in twos and threes, chatting and sharing experiences and anecdotes from the past year; on the other side, the continuous Yandang Mountain range extends into the distance, with no end in sight.
△ ————————△
3⃣🍱Ling Shang Ren Jia🌸∽'Above the ridge, there are white clouds, and deep within, there are homes'
🔸Located in Lingshang Village, Hesheng Town, it is an ancient village with a history of over 400 years, more precisely, a rural tourism spot, with 30 hotels densely arranged along the mountain, quite imposing.
🔹Below the iron chain bridge at the entrance of the village, there used to be a small waterfall, which has been changed into the Longlin Dam at some point. It is the Year of the Dragon, and a visit to the Longlin Dam is a must when coming to Lingshang.
🔺The local specialty dish that is full of flavor is roasted whole lamb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy, attracting many tourists who come to Nanxi River to taste. Remember: you must book in advance❗️ And you must arrive early‼️
△ ————————△
4⃣🛌Xishang Yun Kai Homestay🌸∽'When the creek rises, new birds come; when the clouds part, distant mountains appear'
🔻The homestay is located on the lower water line of Meitan Village, next to Meitan Primary School. The homestay offers coffee and dining, with barbecue and karaoke at night. Nestled against the mountains and by the water, the air is fresh, quiet and comfortable, and you can even see the twinkling stars✨

The journey to Nanxi River Shijiang Rock
On a clear morning, I embarked on a journey to the scenic area of Nanxi River Shijiang Rock. The mountains here are clear and the water is beautiful, as if I were in a beautiful painting.
Entering the scenic area, I walked along the mountain path, with dense forests and clear streams on the side of the road. The air was filled with a fresh breath, which made me feel relaxed and happy. In a short while, I came to the foot of Shijiang Rock. Looking up at the towering Shijiang Rock, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Shijiang Rock looks like a ship's mast, rising from the ground, standing between the mountains, giving a spectacular feeling.
Then, I began to climb Shijiang Rock. The mountain road was rugged, but every step could feel the charm of nature. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the surrounding mountains and winding streams, I felt a sense of heroism. The distant mountains are undulating, the clouds are misty, just like a fairyland.
Coming down from the top of the mountain, I came to the stream. The stream was clear and the fish were playing in the water. I took off my shoes and stepped into the water, feeling the coolness and smoothness of the stream. There were also many strange-shaped stones by the stream. I picked up one and carefully looked at its texture and shape, as if I could feel the precipitation of time.
Walking along the stream, I came to a waterfall. The waterfall flew down like a silver belt, splashing countless water droplets. The mist was filled, giving a sense of coolness and tranquility. I stood quietly in front of the waterfall, listening to the sound of the water, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
The beautiful scenery of Nanxi River Shijiang Rock scenic area made me linger. Here, I felt the power and charm of nature, and also gained inner peace and relaxation. This tour will become my beautiful memory, and I look forward to the next encounter with nature.
Mysterious South Zhejiang: Shimate Rock, the strange and towering stalagmite
In the northeast of Yongjia Nanxi River Scenic Tourist Area, there is a solitary peak rising from the ground, surrounded by water on three sides, with a relative height of 306 meters, shaped like a ship's mast, called " ", with a majestic posture, proudly towering, known as the "Pillar of South Zhejiang".
Entering the scenic area, you can see the long bridge lying on the waves, the green water like a belt, and a huge rock in the middle,
which is surrounded by undulating mountains, towering like a jade mountain about to collapse, just like the iron mace among the eighteen weapons, piercing the sky; it also looks like a ship's tail in the layers of waves, breaking the waves.
It is "the solitary peak in the sea".
The top of the rock is like a lotus bud, standing shoulder to shoulder, the afternoon sun shines on the rock wall, presenting a strange color of red and light purple.
Walking along the quiet and green mountain path, waiting for the stockade gate, crossing the stone bridge, wading through the long beach, a deep pool blocks the way.
Here you can take a boat, the boat sails past the cliffs as black as iron, on the cliff is a plank road in the air, just like the fjord scenery in Norway.
Abandoning the boat and landing, you can see the strange and mysterious peaks such as General Rock, Camel Peak, etc., the green waves reflect the maple leaves as bright as clouds, and the bamboo rafts in the wild crossing are drifting from the stream.

Inked with humanities and adorned with colors, the rural villages in winter are picturesque
*In the early winter, longing for the leisurely life in the ancient village, the bird songs in the empty mountains, the smoke in the fog, the white walls and black tiles, the small bridges and flowing water... Each ancient village has its own unique mark, just like a 'paradise'.
*The Cangpo ancient village, which is backed by the Bijia Mountain and faces the Nanxi River, is a complete set of 'four treasures of the study': the straight long alley that runs through the whole village, is the pen; the lotus pond on both sides of the stone path, is the inkstone; the three stones by the pond, are the ink; the square village, with white pebble ground, is the paper.

Cangpo Ancient Village in Yongjia, here lies the world's largest 'Four Treasures of the Study'
Cangpo Ancient Village is located in Yantou Town, upstream of the Nanxi River in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, backed by Bijia Mountain and facing the Nanxi River.
In a sense, Cangpo is the most culturally rich ancient village because its design concept originates from the 'Four Treasures of the Study'. The long alley that runs through the village represents the brush; a bridge in the middle of the stone path, made of five evenly sized stones, represents the inkstick; the lotus ponds on both sides of the stone path represent the inkstone; and the cobblestone ground of the square village represents the paper.
The village was founded in the second year of Xiande of the Later Zhou Dynasty during the Five Dynasties (AD 955) and has a history of over 1000 years. In the fifth year of Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty (1178), the national teacher Li Shiri replanned and built the village layout with the 'Four Treasures of the Study' as the main image, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Today, despite thousands of years of vicissitudes, the village still retains the original planning and architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty. The fortress walls, stone paths, residences, pavilions, ancestral temples, ancient cypresses, and pools still exhibit the charm of the past, interpreting the rich culture of farming and reading everywhere.
The small ancient village also houses eight cultural halls, including the Rural Reform Exhibition Hall, Kunqu Museum, Huifengxuan Art Gallery, and Lin Ximing Painting Gallery, and has also developed a large-scale farming and reading culture park. It fully displays the ancient village culture, farming and reading culture, Kunqu culture, folk culture, ancestral hall culture of Yongjia, integrating tradition with modernity.
During the Spring Festival, Cangpo Ancient Village launched the slogan 'Come to Nanxi River, celebrate the Song Dynasty New Year'. Stepping into Cangpo Ancient Village, the festive atmosphere hits you. There are photo spots designed around the themes of 'Song Dynasty charm' and 'celebrating the New Year', such as 'Welcome Home', 'The Flavor of Cangpo', and 'I Meet Fortune in Cangpo'. There are also various colored lanterns, water lanterns, rural post offices, festive courtyards, time-honored grocery stores, and 'dry goods' such as dried radishes, sweet potato slices, and dried pickles displayed by the villagers, all enhancing the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Yongjia College Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The picturesque landscape and long-standing culture of Yongjia Academy | The soul of Nanxi River
| The soul of Nanxi River. Yongjia Academy shares its name with Yongjia County, boasting a profound history. Established in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has a history of a thousand years. The Nanxi River next to the academy, with its clear and green water reflecting the mountains, is quiet and peaceful, making it an excellent place for study and learning.
The academy is currently a paid attraction, with a ticket price of 50r. Discounts are available for purchases made online a day in advance. At the entrance of the scenic area, villagers offer bamboo raft drifting, but the actual distance is short and not cost-effective.
Recommended ways to play:
🚗Pure leisure: Take a battery car (5r) at the entrance and go along the Nanxi River to Yongjia Xueguan to learn about the representative figures and main spirit of the Yongjia School. Then walk about 800 meters towards Jinzhu Waterfall, cross the river beach by stepping on stones, take photos in front of the waterfall, no need to climb the mountain, and return the same way. The round trip takes about 1-1.5 hours.
🌟Mountain climbing and sightseeing route: Start from the entrance, walk along the Nanxi River, pass the Tiptoe Bridge to the Xueguan, climb the mountain from the mountain trail next to Jinzhu Waterfall, you can overlook the winding Nanxi River from the top of the mountain, continue towards the Camel Peak, and return along the road. The climb is about 250 meters, and the whole journey takes 3-4 hours.
🌸Parent-child route: The scenery along the river from the entrance to the Tiptoe Bridge is very good. There will be bamboo raft drifting and water pedal bikes on weekends and holidays. It is safer to play with water in the scenic area, and the photos are quite good. Children can bring fishing nets and play with adults on the shallow beach near Jinzhu Waterfall.
🔖Team building: The Eros Cloud Gallery on the top of the mountain has many thrilling projects, which require separate tickets. The joint ticket (158r) includes a suspended glass plank road, a glass sky bridge, an air swing, a mountain jungle glass slide, and a sky cloud gallery. Not suitable for those with acrophobia, it's an adventurer's paradise.
☕️Dining:
There are not many choices. The Yongjia Academy Restaurant is located in the scenic area, at the battery car drop-off point, where you can order meals, drink tea and coffee. There are scattered stalls nearby selling Yongjia pancakes.
📍Location: Zhu'an Village, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City. Parking is 10r per time.
Yongjia, a seriously underestimated small city for autumn appreciation in Zhejiang, is as beautiful as Wuyuan in autumn, but it is less known
Autumn is the poetic season of Jiangnan, the unfolding of magnificent paintings, and the peak of the sun-drying culture.
As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, the sun-drying culture of Jiangnan had been spread, and now, this tradition is still flourishing in the ancient towns and villages of Jiangnan.
In the deep autumn of Lingnan, the autumn scenery is as beautiful as a painting.
Whether it's the red persimmons hanging full between the black tiles and white walls, or the corn and chili drying on the riverside corridor, or the golden rice drying on both sides of the stream, they all make people yearn for.
Among all the small towns in Jiangnan, Wuyuan is known as the 'best of autumn charm' with its unique autumn drying scene.
However, today we are not talking about Wuyuan, but a seriously underestimated small city for autumn appreciation - Yongjia.
It is located in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and is a county under the jurisdiction of Wenzhou City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with picturesque scenery and a long history.
The history of Yongjia can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, when there were traces of human activities here.
During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a county seat here, called Yongjia County, and this name has been used to this day.
The long river of history has left deep traces here, and the ancient stone carvings, temples, academies, and ancient villages all witness the vicissitudes of this small city.
Although it has a long history, Yongjia is not as well known as other famous historical cities.
However, this does not prevent it from being a small city worth exploring and appreciating in autumn.
Especially in autumn, its beauty is so captivating that it can be compared with Wuyuan.
Under the halo of Wuyuan, Yongjia also has its own unique charm.
Here in autumn, the ancient houses with white walls and black tiles are full of sun-dried rice, red peppers, and golden corn, which are simple and quiet.
The sun shines down, and the sun-dried objects shine in the sun, adding a rich autumn flavor and strong cultural atmosphere to this small city.

The sun shines on these sun-dried objects, making them shine.

Next to the Nanxi River, the autumn color of Mingao Terraces is also a unique landscape.
Layers of terraces, like huge steps, extend from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
In autumn, the rice on the terraces is ripe, golden, contrasting with the blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and red flowers, as if it is the palette of nature.
