Yangjiatang Village

Life is about witnessing the last secret realm of Jiangnan at least once, right? But before you go, there are things you need to know‼️ - 👉 Mode of Transportation It is recommended to rent a car or drive yourself after taking the high-speed train! Most of the ancient villages in Songyang are scattered in the mountains, and it often takes 30-40 minutes to drive from one village to another. It's really inconvenient without a car. There's almost no nightlife - The preservation of the ancient villages here is superb, completely different from the temperament of Moganshan and Anji. They usually won't extend their working hours to accommodate your 'city schedule', so if you're looking to experience the nightlife of bars and late-night snacks in the mountains? This might not be the place for you, please switch to the local mountain dwellers' schedule! It's too late for anyone to cook dinner for you. Mountain restaurants close early, remember to eat early, and if it's late, call ahead to confirm, so you don't go hungry. I finished dinner at seven and some owners had already closed (although a certain platform indicated they close at eight). - 🌿 It's suggested to slow down and deeply experience everything here If you are a photography enthusiast, you can go crazy checking in at various ancient villages; but if not, don't rush, taking it slow for a deeper experience is better. - 🐜 Mosquito Prevention As the weather warms up, it's inevitable to encounter mosquitoes in the mountains, and there might even be more in the summer. If you're really scared of these, it's best to bring along some brave friends, or choose a star-rated hotel for a staycation. - 🗺️ What to Play (I played these during my 3 days and 2 nights stay in Pingtian Village) - ✅ Chenjiapu Village: An ancient village on the cliff, Feiwuji B&B Coffee and the Pioneer Bookstore are landmarks (but Feiwuji B&B does not accept non-residents for visits, another cafe is available to go to, the scenery is amazing). - ✅ Yangjiatang Village: 'The last secret realm of Jiangnan', a popular spot for social media check-ins, with a big tree at the village entrance and curling smoke, very photogenic! But once it became famous, it's no longer a secret, and everyone is queuing up to take photos with the big tree. - ✅ Pingtian Village: A village above the clouds, so tranquil it's breathtaking, and the mountain scenery behind the village is full of surprises! Staying here for two nights felt like I had the whole village to myself, super peaceful! A place rarely visited by others. - ✅ Songyang Old Street: A quaint street with many craftsmen and snacks, and the same No. 9 Coffee as Gao Yuanyuan is waiting for you to check in! - 🌟 Food and Drink Recommendations 👉 Xikeng Village Frog Brother Restaurant (Home-style stir-fry, the taste is amazing!) 👉 Wang's Kitchen next to Songyang Old Street (The stream fish is incredibly delicious!) 👉 No. 9 Coffee on Songyang Old Street (The desserts are top-notch, definitely not to be missed!) 👉 Grandpa's Coffee in Pingtian Village (The view on the second floor is picturesque, a great place to enjoy coffee!) - Songyang, waiting for you to explore‼️

Songyang·Lishui 🌟'The Golden Potala Palace'—Yangjiatang 📍Address: Yangjiatang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County 🚗Transport: About a twenty-minute drive from Songyang county town, self-driving is recommended. The first half of the road is relatively wide, with a free public parking lot midway, and the latter half is narrower, with another free parking lot at the entrance of the village, but it is relatively smaller. During holidays, it can get very congested, so it is suggested to park in the first parking lot.

The first stop of the Spring Festival trip: A place rated by National Geographic as the last secret place in Jiangnan, Yangjiatang Village in Songyang County, Zhejiang Province. It takes a narrow mountain road from the county town to the village. When you are close to the village, there is a parking lot at the location of Figure 13. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Yangjiatang Village from here (mostly uphill). It is recommended to drive directly to the parking lot at the entrance of the village. There are not many parking spaces, all parked along the road, try to drive in as far as possible to walk less (the road inside is easy to jam, and it is not easy to miss the car, if you are afraid of trouble, just park in the parking lot of Figure 13) Yangjiatang Village is a terraced ancient village. At the entrance of the village is the "couple tree" that everyone checks in. The light and shadow are charming, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, revealing the "golden Potala" scenery. It is recommended to go in the evening, when the sun is full of the village, it is simple and comfortable, walking on the stone road in the village, watching the smoke from every household~

The first one is Songyang in Lishui, a city in Zhejiang that I have wanted to go for a long time but have never been to. The ancient villages in Songyang are really unique in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai! The camphor tree in Yangjiatang is really a place where every photographer can't help but take pictures. The stone bridge in Songzhuang Village has been on the cover of 'China National Geographic'. And the Pioneer Bookstore in Chenjiapu, you read books, and outside the window is a sea of clouds, that feeling is really too wonderful! In addition, Xikeng Village is a real village in the sea of clouds, and Hou She Village is also a secluded and isolated ancient village. There are many other lesser-known ancient villages, it can be said that the ancient villages in Songyang are absolutely quiet and beautiful! Xuanya Temple Village, not only often surrounded by a sea of clouds, but also has a very suitable mountain road for self-driving. Baocun under the mountain, with a very heavy history, the village is also very quiet, Liang Sicheng and his wife called it a paradise! Yuyuan Ancient Village, with exquisite architecture, is also a place worth strolling around. And not far from the county town, Jingyuan is also a good place to appreciate Ming and Qing ancient houses. The owner here bought 87 ancient houses from Shexian and other places and built the current Jingyuan. This is also the filming location of 'The Most Human Fireworks'. In addition, there are many places in Wuyi to soak in hot springs, which are also very suitable for holiday and leisure. There are really too many treasure travel places in Zhejiang.

With a history of more than 1800 years, Songyang in Lishui is scattered with large and small ancient villages among the lofty mountains It was rated by "China National Geographic" as "the last secret place in the south of the Yangtze River". This time, three ancient villages were visited in particular: Songzhuang Village, Yangjiatang Village, and Chenjiapu Village Today, the focus is on the century-old village 'Yangjiatang Village' It is also the filming location of the popular drama 'Two People's Small Forest' . Location Yangjiatang Village is located in the deep mountains, public transportation is not very convenient to reach, self-driving is most recommended, you can drive to the parking lot at the entrance of the village, tourist buses can only stop a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village; Attractions ■The two most famous photo spots in Yangjiatang Village, one is the two camphor trees with a history of more than 500 years, a classic shot that has been on the 'National Geographic' is in the early morning, when the morning light is sprinkled, the old man leads the cow under the camphor tree, if you want to take the same kind of photo, you need to stay in the village overnight and get up early; .Another famous photo spot is the viewing platform to see the whole view of the ancient village, when the dusk light comes, the yellow walls and black tiles become golden, highlighting the rustic and quiet beauty of this century-old ancient village; Yangjiatang Village

| Known as the "Golden Potala Palace", how beautiful is autumn. The setting sun shines on the yellow earth walls, dyeing the entire village golden, hence the name "Golden Potala Palace". To be honest, there is really no comparability between the terraced layout of the ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River and the Potala Palace. The person who came up with this name is really a genius at naming, attracting waves of tourists to check in, and the tourists are bustling in every corner of the village. However, the commercial facilities in the village cannot support such a large flow of people, and the lack of stopping points causes the tourists to always come and go in a rush. Walking around the village, I saw the local villagers picking tea. Tourists drink coffee, chat, and peek into the lives of the villagers, but all of this seems to have no effect on him. Photo spots: 1 The couple tree at the entrance of the village. The iconic spot of Yangjiatang. When there are more tourists, there is even a business here to provide smoke for photo check-ins, but we didn't encounter it. This place is really photogenic, "Two People's Small Forest" was filmed here. There are so many people taking photos and checking in that they have to queue up. 2 The viewing platform opposite the village. You can overlook the orderly layout of the entire Yangjiatang. The foreground is a small tea garden, where we saw the old man picking tea. 3 Song Clan Ancestral Hall. There is a family tree in the ancestral hall, and the villagers of Yangjiatang are actually the descendants of the great scholar Song Lian of the Ming Dynasty. There is a very magical point, the villagers of Yangjiatang are basically surnamed Song instead of Yang. Just like the villagers of Chenjiapu are surnamed Bao instead of Yang Detailed address: Yangjiatang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province Play time: Half a day is enough for play time, it is best to go in the afternoon Recommended reason: In Yangjiatang Village, where there is no three feet of flat land, there are more than 20 old houses of the Qing Dynasty with earth and wood structures.
