|Linkeng Village: a rough gem in the deep mountains of southern Zhejiang. In the northern part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, there is a 700-year-old village at the source of the Nanxi River. It is famous for its "ancient village, lush bamboos, clear water, many waterfalls and deep valleys" and is known as the "unpolished jade buried in the mountains." Today, this piece of uncut jade has gradually become an internet celebrity because of its autumn drying and has become the "leader" of many ancient villages in the Nanxi River Basin. He is the famous Linkeng Village. 【history】 It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It is the settlement of the Maoxing clan. It is said that their ancestors left their hometown and migrated from Ji'an, Jiangxi to avoid the war, and it has been 45 generations so far. 【geography】 Because it was located in a remote area in ancient times, with lush bamboo and trees, surrounded by mountains on three sides, many streams and deep valleys, and poor transportation, it was called "Linkeng". 【Residential Features】 Linkeng Village is a typical southern Zhejiang mountain dwelling style, with undulating mountains and continuous layers. The village is one of the best-preserved mountain dwellings in Nanxi River. It is simple and authentic, with a wild and natural charm, and it complements the beautiful trees and green mountains around it. 【Autumn Sunshine】 From mid-November to mid-December, the autumn harvest festival is held. The village, the eaves, the arch bridges, and even the streams are filled with agricultural products and local specialties, such as persimmons, peppers, bacon, dried stream fish, dried sweet potatoes, vegetarian noodles, local eggs, soybeans, etc., forming a colorful picture of a bumper harvest. In addition to the ancient dwellings, the natural scenery includes Dadu Rock, Moonlight Cave, Sandie Rock, Shuangzhu Peak, and Sanzhe Waterfall. Camera positions: Chenxiang Covered Bridge, Yong'an Stone Bridge, Yongji Covered Bridge, the best one is Yongping Bridge. You can take aerial photos from the teahouse opposite, which are very photogenic. There are hiking trails in the village that lead to higher hills and overlook the entire village. 🚘Address: Huangnan Township, Yongjia County 🚵🏻‍♂️Navigation: "Linkeng Village" 💵Ticket: 15 yuan, parking fee 10 yuan; 🕰Best season: November to early December 🕰Play time: 1-2h 📣Surroundings: Jijiazhai (the filming location of the web drama "Tian Geng Ji", very remote), Yubei Ancient Village, Xikou Village, etc. 🏡Accommodation: There is an inn in the village.

The Wenzhou people's own autumn drying has quietly begun in this century-old village! It has attracted many tourists! 📍Linkeng Ancient Village ⏰November-December (free from 4th to 9th, admission fee starts from 10th) There is a parking lot at the door, and you can also park on the road! No outside vehicles are allowed to enter the village! It's a short walk, but not long. Those with children can bring a stroller. There are not many steps and the stroller can be parked below. 📸📸Don’t be in a hurry to take photos. The scenic area is not big. If you go there in the morning, you might as well try to walk to the end first and take photos from top to bottom, which may help you avoid the crowds! Best photo spot: Shiban Bridge Climbing up to take panoramic photos is also a good choice! Don’t worry about not having food to eat. This is a scenic spot with many restaurants and homestays. Staying there for a night is also a good choice! The small bridge, flowing water, and people drying the sun in the sun are quite pleasant. Wearing retro jeans for photos really takes off!

Deep in the mountains of Yongjia, Wenzhou, there is the largest terraced field in Jiangnan - Mingao Terraced Fields. In spring and autumn, the ground is covered with gold, golden and brilliant In May, during the Grain in Ear season, the sky and clouds are reflected in the mirror of the terraced fields. What would it feel like to live in such a wonderland and photography mecca? I think Jinli Yunshe will give a satisfactory answer. With an altitude of nearly 800 meters, it is the best viewing point for Mingao Terraces, and the location of the B&B is definitely the center of attention. The owner of the B&B is an avid photography enthusiast and has taken countless blockbuster photos of Mingao. He jokingly said, "I opened a B&B because I wanted to take photos here." It turns out that poetry and distant places, reality and ideals are not contradictory or out of reach. ⭐Style The exterior of the homestay is European-style, while the interior has an elegant Chinese aesthetic, with natural wood tones, a simple and heavy feel, and the fragrance of books and tea lingering around, with a new scene at every step. ⭐Rooms The rooms are named after solar terms and all face the terraced fields and the direction of sunrise. The [Xiaoxue] room we stayed in not only had a tea room, but also an open-air bath and a double-decker independent balcony, which had the best view of the entire homestay. ⭐ Features 🍵Open-air teahouse, ⛰️infinity terrace, 🏊🏻cliff swimming pool, 🚶🏻ladder to heaven, 📷Bird's Nest, etc., each place is a place to check in and take a big photo. Indoors and outdoors, while sipping tea and chatting, you can watch the flaming sunrise, the rolling sea of ​​clouds, and the hazy mist and rain. It is so pleasant. The persimmon trees in the autumn homestay are full of bright red persimmons, which contrast beautifully with the golden and green terraces. 🚘Address: No. 1, Xintian Road, Zhengshan Village, Qiaoxia Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou 🚵🏻‍♂️Navigation: "Jinli Yunshe", 1 hour away from Yongjia County, about 1 and a half hours away from Wenzhou city. 📣Terrace Photography Guide ⭐Photography point 5 has the best viewing angle, and photography point 6 has the highest altitude and a good bird's-eye view. 🕰The best time is the Grain in Ear irrigation season in May and June Tip: The homestay is only 300 meters away from the terraced fields and the best viewing platform, "Photography Point No. 5".

"I say that my superior is like Lingyun, and can make the country like Yongjia" In late autumn and early winter, we came to Yongjia, Wenzhou, and to the Nanxi River Basin. This is the birthplace of Chinese landscape poetry, a secret place that Xie Lingyun, Li Bai and Su Shi all adored. For such a slow-paced and healing place, you should stay at the Jinli Xishi B&B to experience the leisurely and comfortable time spent in the mountains. ⭐Location The B&B is located at the source of the Nanxi River - the northernmost part of Yongjia, bordering Xianju, and very close to Linkeng Village which was recently hit by a fire. The altitude of more than 600 meters gives the B&B a sense of isolation from the world. You can avoid the heat in summer and sunbathe in autumn and winter. ⭐Decoration The exterior of the B&B is in a simple Nordic style, while the interior is a fusion of French/Moroccan styles, full of exotic and warm atmosphere. ⭐Rooms The B&B has 13 guest rooms, including the [Gardenia View Deluxe King Room], a 70㎡ suite with a romantic French style. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the mountain moon and pine waves when you open the window.

• Yandang Mountain Scenic Area: One of China's top ten famous mountains, named for its "lake atop the peak, reed-filled marshes where autumn geese dwell." This primarily refers to North Yandang Mountain, divided into Jingming, Lingfeng, Yanhu, and more. Don't miss the three must-see attractions: Dalongqiu Waterfall, Lingfeng Night View, and Lingyan Flying Show. Various ticket packages are available, such as Route A (Lingfeng + Lingyan + Dalongqiu) for ¥170, Route B for ¥200, valid for 2 days. Lingfeng Night View costs ¥50 separately, and Xianshengmen is ¥15. Internal transportation is convenient, with sightseeing buses at ¥40/day covering eight major scenic spots. • Jiangxin Islet: Located in the middle reaches of the Ou River north of Wenzhou's urban area, it's one of China's four famous islets. The islet boasts stunning scenery with its East and West Pagodas towering over the river, complementing Jiangxin Temple, earning it the nickname "Penglai of the Ou River." Admission is ¥25, and the water park costs ¥120. Ferries are available, and multiple city buses reach Jiangxin Pier. • Nanxi River Scenic Area: Renowned for its picturesque landscapes and ancient villages. Enjoy bamboo rafting on the crystal-clear river, admiring the scenic views along the banks, and exploring hidden ancient villages. Take a 1-hour bus from Wenzhou Bus Station to Yongjia. For bamboo rafting, the 4 PM session is recommended, priced around ¥120. • Dongtou Scenic Area: A lush, leisure-friendly island offering spectacular sea views, unique rock formations, and charming beaches, complete with full recreational facilities. • Nanji Islands: Comprising 52 islands, celebrated for their stunning marine scenery and well-preserved ecosystem. As a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it's rich in marine biodiversity, making it an ideal destination for ocean exploration. Tips to Avoid Pitfalls • Tickets: Avoid combo tickets at Yandang Mountain; single-entry tickets (¥70-90) for 2-3 classic spots suffice. Skip the ¥30 bamboo milk tea at Jiangxin Islet's entrance—vendors along the descent sell the same for ¥15. • Transportation: Wenzhou South Station is far from downtown (40 mins by bus); Wenzhou Station is preferable. To Dongtou, take a bus or taxi from downtown, or charter a car (negotiate prices in advance). • Dining & Lodging: Food in Yandang is pricey—pack snacks. For Jiangxin Islet, stay on-island or downtown (more options, better transport), taking ferries as needed. Transport Recommendations • Getting to Wenzhou: Fly to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (far from downtown; take airport shuttle from the rail station). Alternatively, take a high-speed train to Wenzhou South Station, then transfer by bus/taxi to downtown. • Local Transport: Attractions are spread out—rent a car, use buses/taxis, or hop on tourist shuttles (e.g., Yandang's sightseeing buses for ¥40/day). Accommodation • Downtown: Choose from various hotels and B&Bs (e.g., Wenzhou Narada Hotel, centrally located near Wuma Street) with easy access to food and transport. • Scenic Areas: For Yandang, stay in Xianglingtou Village (B&Bs ~¥100/person, steps from Lingfeng Night View). On Jiangxin Islet, opt for on-island stays to savor its tranquility and beauty.
