3 Lesser-Known Immortal Fantasy Destinations! Take Your Loved One on a Scenic Vow Amid Mountains and Rivers

Always bring your loved one along and visit a real-life "immortal fantasy world"! No need to squeeze through crowds at Wangxian Valley; hidden among the mountains and waters of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Guangxi are true fairyland spots favored by National Geographic. When mist wraps the mountains, ascend to the clouds together; by ancient bridges reflecting in the water, gaze into each other's eyes. This secluded travel guide holds the most romantic scenic vows. Xian Du, Jinyun, Zhejiang: Enter the Scroll of "The Journey of Flower" with Your Loved One Jinyun’s Xian Du, the filming location for over 500 immortal fantasy dramas, features Dinghu Peak rising like a "mountain-guarding immortal pillar" over 170 meters tall. When mist swirls around its waist after rain, it feels as if Bai Zihua is stepping on clouds to arrive. The romance here is a pastoral poem in the morning mist and a millennium of charm at dusk. Core Experience: 2 Days 1 Night Immortal Fantasy Route Day 1: Enter the Painted Immortal Mountain Arrive before 6:30 AM at Zhutan Mountain to accompany your loved one in waiting for the classic scene of an old farmer leading cattle across a stone bridge—morning mist drifts over the water, the bridge’s shadow blends with ripples from the cattle’s hooves, and your phone camera can capture a movie-poster-level photo. In the morning, take the cable car up Dinghu Peak and embrace on the mountaintop viewing platform overlooking the magnificent scene of "peaks hidden in clouds." In the afternoon, visit Niweng Cave, touch the Tang Dynasty cliff carvings together, and listen for the echoes of immortal music. Day 2: Seek Immortality and Wisdom In the morning, check in at Xian Du Temple, where red walls and black tiles reflect green bamboo. Dress in Hanfu with your loved one to take photos of turning around and looking back, creating a full atmosphere. In the afternoon, walk the riverside plank road at Xiao Chibi, where the Danxia cliffs and green river water mirror each other. Holding hands while strolling feels like wandering through a secret realm as martial heroes. Dining, Accommodation, and Romance Tips - Food Vow: At the scenic area entrance, freshly baked Jinyun sesame cakes must be shared. The preserved vegetable and meat filling is crispy outside and tender inside, paired with a bowl of smooth local noodles, all for about 15 RMB per person, full of rustic charm; black rice sprinkled with sugar is sweet and glutinous like your time together. - Accommodation Recommendation: The "Xian Du Renjia" guesthouse near Dinghu Peak offers views of peaks and sea of clouds from your window, with rooms from 300-500 RMB per night to fall asleep in a fairyland. - Transportation Tips: After arriving at Jinyun West High-Speed Rail Station, take a 30-minute taxi ride (about 50 RMB) directly to the site; free and ample parking is available for self-driving visitors. Yunhe Terraces, Lishui, Zhejiang: Ascend to the Heavenly Palace Together Over 700 terrace layers climb from the foot to the summit of the mountain. Morning sunlight pierces the mist and shines on the ridges, weaving gold and green into a celestial palette. This is the largest terrace group in East China and a "cloud-top fairyland" highly recommended by National Geographic. Core Experience: 1.5 Days of Deep Romance Day 1: Chasing Light on the Terraces Arrive in the afternoon and first explore Baiyin Valley ancient village. On the bluestone paths, hear the old waterwheel creak, see bamboo shoots and chili peppers drying under eaves, and experience farming fun with your loved one. At dusk, climb the Qixing Dun viewing platform to watch the sunset dye the terraces golden-red. When mist rolls in, it feels like embracing on the edge of the heavenly palace. Day 2: Morning Mist Fairyland Arrive before 6:30 AM to secure front-row spots at the Jiuchu Yunhuan viewing platform. Wait with your loved one for the first sunlight to awaken the terraces. The water reflections blend with mist, and every photo is wallpaper-worthy. In the morning, stroll along the trail, meet rice-planting farmers, and feel the tranquility of "harmony between heaven and man." Dining, Accommodation, and Pitfall Avoidance Guide - Must-Try Delicacies: The farmhouse restaurant’s creek fish tofu soup is incredibly fresh; the fish is caught and cooked on the spot, paired with local silky tofu, about 30 RMB per person for a feast; glutinous rice cake drizzled with osmanthus honey is sweet but not greasy, a sweet token to refresh. - Accommodation Selection: The "Yun Shang Ping Tian" guesthouse inside the terraces has terraces facing the sea of clouds. Wake up to birdsong in the morning, with rooms from 600-800 RMB per night including breakfast and transfers. - Thoughtful Reminder: After arriving at Lishui High-Speed Rail Station, transfer to a shuttle bus to Yunhe County, then switch to the scenic area shuttle (about 2 hours total); misty rainy days enhance the fairy atmosphere but wear non-slip shoes. Xiaoqikong, Libo, Guizhou: The Emerald Water Immortal Trail Pools of emerald water scattered like green gems among the mountains, 68-level waterfalls cascading like the Milky Way, the ancient Seven-Arch Bridge spanning the clear waves, vines entwining the bridge—this is rated by China National Geographic as "China’s Most Beautiful Forest," with visitor density only one-third that of popular scenic spots. Core Experience: 1 Day Essential Fairyland Tour Enter through the west gate and arrive before 7:30 AM to photograph the morning mist reflection on the Xiaoqikong ancient bridge. The undisturbed "bridge reflected in water, people wandering in a painting" scene is the pinnacle of romance. Follow the Xiangshui River to see tiered waterfalls, with mist wetting your clothes, cool and pleasant. At noon, picnic beside Cuigu Waterfall, watching water rush down from green mountains like a secret Water Curtain Cave. In the afternoon, wade through the water forest, sunlight filtering through leaves creating dappled light, just like a "cultivation treasure land" in immortal dramas. Finally, visit Wolong Pool, where emerald lake water overflows the dam, capturing a "jade water immortal trail" moment with your loved one. Dining, Accommodation, and Practical Tips - Taste Delights: At the scenic entrance, try the tofu pudding grilled fish, with fresh fish crispy outside and tender inside, paired with silky tofu in spicy sauce, about 50 RMB per person for a satisfying meal; sour meat with white rice is appetizing and perfect for sharing. - Accommodation Recommendation: The "Oxygen Valley Hotel" in Xiaoqikong Town is a 10-minute walk to the scenic area, with a viewing balcony to enjoy the night together, rooms from 400-600 RMB per night including transfers. - Transportation Tips: After arriving at Sandu County High-Speed Rail Station, transfer to the scenic area direct shuttle (35 RMB per person, 1 hour direct); the scenic area is large, so buy a 40 RMB sightseeing bus ticket, and wear quick-dry clothes for wading. Couples’ Immortal Travel Pitfall Avoidance Tips 1. Off-Peak Strategy: Visit on weekdays for the best experience; avoid weekends at Jinyun Xian Du and Yunhe Terraces, and avoid midday in summer at Libo Xiaoqikong. 2. Dressing Guide: Light-colored Hanfu or cotton-linen long dresses paired with oil-paper umbrellas or round fans double the photo atmosphere; mountain areas have big temperature differences, so bring a knit cardigan to ward off the chill. 3. Ticket Savings: Buy combo tickets online one day in advance for Jinyun Xian Du and Yunhe Terraces, about 20% cheaper than on-site; Libo Xiaoqikong offers half-price discounts for students and seniors. No need to wait for new immortal fantasy dramas—at these three secret spots, mist is a natural special effect, and ancient bridges witness love. Take your loved one and set off, let the mountains and waters witness your vow, and live your days like a poem.
