A lifetime destination: Biancheng Chatong……

You mentioned "Huatang," which could be Huatang Ancient Village in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province (part of the Nanxi River Scenic Area), or another place with the same name. Below is a route designed based on Yongjia Huatang Ancient Village, combining the scenery of Nanxi River and ancient village culture: ------ 1. Huatang Ancient Village + Nanxi River Highlights 1-Day Tour Highlights: Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, pastoral landscapes • Morning: ◦ Depart from Wenzhou city center, drive about 1.5 hours to [Huatang Ancient Village], stroll along the bluestone paths, visit Wufu Residence, Xiantai Archway (Ming dynasty architecture), Dunmu Ancestral Hall, and experience the farming and scholarly culture. ◦ On the way, visit [Langxia Ancient Village] (about 10 minutes by car from Huatang), see the Song dynasty ancient well and Wu Clan Ancestral Hall. • Afternoon: ◦ Drive to [Nanxi River Shiziyan Scenic Area] (about 30 minutes), take a bamboo raft drift, enjoy the riverside beaches, forests, and unique rock formations. ◦ Or choose to visit [Yongjia Academy] to check out the popular glass plank road and mountain waterfalls. • Evening: ◦ Return to Wenzhou city center or stay overnight at a Nanxi River riverside guesthouse (recommended "Jinli Yun She"). ------ 2.
