In recent years, Yuhang as a green oasis has been noticed by more and more people and also attracted many visitors. Now we’d like to recommend some places in Yuhang which have fewer tourists but beautiful scenery and offers great photo opportunities.
Wuta Xinshe 无它心舍
Wuta Xinshe in Luniao is a courtyard guesthouse with white walls and black tiles. It seems to be born for the 500-year-old ginkgo tree next to it. Standing under the tree, you will feel as if time slowed down.
The courtyard of the guesthouse is also well landscaped and has a "dry landscape" atmosphere in autumn and winter. Come and visit it during this golden season!

Wulong Creek乌龙涧
Wulong Creek in Yuhang has a special atmosphere that is hard to put into words. It has the sort of quietness of the old days and the romance and haziness of a Japanese animation.
The abandoned railway track, the big lawn with a 30 degrees slope and the reed flowers of the season floating in the air are easy to create photos that look pure and fresh.
Apart from the railway track, the river banks on both sides are also very beautiful. Standing on it, you will see the fast-moving cars and the slow-moving clouds. Time seems to slow down a lot.

Yaoshan Ruins Park 瑶山遗址公园
The clear sky and fresh air of early winter should, of course, be coupled with the most stunning landscape.

Jiuqulingshang Village 九曲岭上村
In Jiuquling of Nanfeng Village, Zhongtai Sub-district, there is a village that is about to disappear. Almost all villagers moved out of the village a few years ago. Now it is dilapidated and deserted. The remaining broken walls surrounded by grass and trees have become a rare sight.
The two more than 260 years old ginkgo trees at the entrance of the village have witnessed the rise and fall of the village. The stone houses and thatched roofs, the grass and wild flowers, and the age-old steps all show a distinctive charm.

Changle Woodland 长乐林场
The beauty of Changle Woodland is mainly manifested in the "wildness" of the area. It is a natural forest with a large number of towering trees.
In autumn and winter, it turns into a sea of red, and it is easy to take amazing photos here.

Xiadoumen Village 下陡门村
Xiadoumen Village, between the South Lake and North Lake of Yuhang, is very charming in autumn and winter. The golden rice fields, white reed flowers, and the abandoned crossing of Hangxuan Railway…Photos taken here always have a sense of leisure and coziness.
There is also a 325-year-old camphor tree. Zoom in on the age-old tree from afar and take a photo with it. The grandeur of life and the passing of time are shown vividly in the photo.

Luyu Spring Park 陆羽泉公园
In the prime of the Tang Dynasty recreated in Luyu Spring Park, the tea culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, emits an everlasting fragrance. Nestling by Shuangxi River, Luyu Spring is surrounded by rolling tea mountains and looks quite like a picturesque ink wash painting.
Sip a cup of tea here and you almost "taste" the rhyme of tea in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Of course, you can also change into hanfu and travel back to the tea-tasting age of thousands of years ago.
