01 Zhi'nan Village 指南村
Zhi'nan Village in summer has a unique flavor. All along the road are the shades of luxuriant trees. It features a strong atmosphere of unsophisticated simplicity of life. Walking in it, you’ll feel the time has slowed down and life here is extremely comfortable!
The village is surrounded by towering old trees and scattered terraced fields. The old dwellings with white walls and black tiles are classic Huizhou-style architecture, with high horse-head walls, delicate and flexible hollowed-out wooden window lattices...
Children are playing, women are washing clothes, and the ink painting-like images of ancient Jiangnan villages are full of life as if they were in a quiet corner out of the world.
02 Longmen Secret Realm Village Scenic Spot 龙门秘境
How could you not visit "Longmen Secret Realm" while in Lin'an? Every corner of the spot brings you unlimited surprises!
Linjiatang Natural Village (林家塘自然村) is hidden among thousands of ancient pine trees, and there are over a thousand mu (1 mu is roughly equal to 666 sq m) of mountain terraces, which are layered and criss-crossed. In the City of Stars in Caoshan'gang (草山岗), you can camp and watch the stars; in Tianshitan (天石滩), you can find the remains of glaciers from 10,000 years ago; in Dingyun Temple (定云寺), you can listen to the sutra chanting and bell rings that can clear your head and heart.
Playing in the water has always been the best option for a family outing in the summer. Longtan (龙潭) features a beautiful environment and fresh air. The 92% vegetation coverage keeps the average temperature at 22 degrees. With the cool breeze blowing from the mountains, it’s extremely refreshing.
03 Yueliangqiao (Moon Bridge) Village 月亮桥村
"When you arrive at Yueliangqiao, you will be in Tianmu Mountain." The "Moon Bridge", which looks like a crescent moon, was once regarded by pilgrims as "the Land of Buddhism Connection”. In this quiet village, the mountains are luxuriantly green. Looking around, the villas and small buildings in the embrace of the mountains are well-proportioned.
The natural environment of Yueliangqiao is unique. Amid the rolling hills and shady jungles, a curve of simple folk houses slowly stretches for several kilometers.
04 Heqiao Ancient Town 河桥古镇
In the lush jungle of Lin'an, Heqiao Ancient Town is the oldest flower. The old street is the soul of Heqiao; the Liuxi River (柳溪江) is the fluttering skirt hemline of Heqiao, with its eternal style.
The old town has lost much of its former prosperity with the passage of time, but one can still recall the grandeur and splendor of the old town by walking along the old street. She quietly guards this land, bringing infinite surprises to people from afar!
