If the city's hustle feels overwhelming, it's time to head for the countryside. Join the rural vibe and become a “spiritual villager” in Yuhang’s charming hamlets—your happy getaway awaits!
Xiaogucheng Village
Named after the late Maqiao Culture site, Xiaogucheng Village earns its nickname as the “Painting Village” of the region. Towering pines and emerald bamboo frame a breathtaking natural landscape straight out of a scroll.
Wander the Tea Mountain Trail to the summit for a panoramic view, or explore the vibrant lineup of attractions: the Dajing Mountain Future Market, Tiaoxi Campsite, Jim Fern Farm, and Gulingjing Paradise. There’s no shortage of fun to dive into!
Qingshan Village
Blessed with abundant natural resources and a deep cultural heritage, Qingshan Village is a designated “Future Village Experimental Zone.”
Marvel at the serene beauty of Longwu Reservoir and Qingshan Ecological Park. The village also hosts creative studios offering hands-on experiences—think crafting silk umbrellas at the Xihu Silk Umbrella Workshop, whose works have even graced the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Xikou Village
Xikou boasts a kilometer-long cultural and creative street, home to 10 unique countryside museums.
The Chuansuo Museum showcases over 23,000 weaving shuttles and their history, while the Hangzhou Lunar Calendar Museum reimagines traditional calendar culture with a modern twist. The Cai Zhizhong Culture Hall dives into Chinese classics, and the Integrity Museum blends local heritage with a fresh take on promoting modern ethics.
Zijing Village
Known as “China’s Bamboo Flute Village,” Zijing thrives amid lush bamboo groves and stunning scenery. It’s the nation’s only “Kuzhu Germplasm Resource Bank.”
Step into the Zhongtai Bamboo Flute Exhibition Hall for an immersive experience with interactive displays, or visit the Zhuyun Instrument Factory to witness the intricate art of bamboo flute craftsmanship up close.
Pack your bags, “spiritual villagers”! This time, we’ll meet in the countryside—see you there!
