Lunar New Year travel: I recommend this hidden gem of a city

Happy New Year! Have you decided where to go during the holiday? If you're still undecided, why not consider this hidden gem of a city surrounded by mountains and rivers: Longquan, Lishui. Lishui is a city full of surprises. The solemnity of Sisi Temple, the poetic charm of Guyan Huaxiang, the grandeur of Yunhe Terraces, and the rustic tranquility of Songyang Ancient Village all exude a unique charm that makes you want to explore. Longquan, known as the capital of celadon, the land of swords, and the first hometown of Ganoderma lucidum in China, is more laid-back and low-key than the popular Jingdezhen. It's a quiet and niche destination. While there are still not many tourists, come here to slow down and savor the unique beauty of this small city. Travel guide Transportation: You can take a high-speed train directly to Longquan Station, or you can choose to drive and enjoy the scenery along the way to this city of your dreams. Two-day itinerary: - Day 1: Yuandi Village - China Celadon Town - Xiazhang Ancient Village - Day 2: Longquan West Street - Water Tower Coffee - Liuchazhou - Return Photo spots Yuandi Village (free): The tulou here is the most anticipated place of the trip. Several brick-red granaries resemble a real-life version of "Big Fish & Begonia" in Zhejiang, and you can take great photos in no time. In addition to the tulou, the many old houses in the village are also full of charm and traces of time. China Celadon Town (CNY 60): If you want to learn more about the history of celadon culture, this is the place to go. The towering chimneys in the park are very distinctive and make a great backdrop for photos. Xiazhang Ancient Village (free): The village is small, but the houses are well-preserved and have a quaint charm. The majestic waterfall at the foot of the village and the ancient camphor trees are must-see sights. Longquan West Street (free): Take a leisurely stroll along the river after dinner. The street is lined with many unique cafes and restaurants. We recommend the stylish Water Tower Coffee. Liuchazhou: Known as "Little Orange Island," you can take atmospheric photos by the river. Finally, I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Snake! In the new year, let's go to more places and see more beautiful scenery!
