The picturesque landscape and long-standing culture of Yongjia Academy | The soul of Nanxi River

| The soul of Nanxi River. Yongjia Academy shares its name with Yongjia County, boasting a profound history. Established in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has a history of a thousand years. The Nanxi River next to the academy, with its clear and green water reflecting the mountains, is quiet and peaceful, making it an excellent place for study and learning. The academy is currently a paid attraction, with a ticket price of 50r. Discounts are available for purchases made online a day in advance. At the entrance of the scenic area, villagers offer bamboo raft drifting, but the actual distance is short and not cost-effective. Recommended ways to play: 🚗Pure leisure: Take a battery car (5r) at the entrance and go along the Nanxi River to Yongjia Xueguan to learn about the representative figures and main spirit of the Yongjia School. Then walk about 800 meters towards Jinzhu Waterfall, cross the river beach by stepping on stones, take photos in front of the waterfall, no need to climb the mountain, and return the same way. The round trip takes about 1-1.5 hours. 🌟Mountain climbing and sightseeing route: Start from the entrance, walk along the Nanxi River, pass the Tiptoe Bridge to the Xueguan, climb the mountain from the mountain trail next to Jinzhu Waterfall, you can overlook the winding Nanxi River from the top of the mountain, continue towards the Camel Peak, and return along the road. The climb is about 250 meters, and the whole journey takes 3-4 hours. 🌸Parent-child route: The scenery along the river from the entrance to the Tiptoe Bridge is very good. There will be bamboo raft drifting and water pedal bikes on weekends and holidays. It is safer to play with water in the scenic area, and the photos are quite good. Children can bring fishing nets and play with adults on the shallow beach near Jinzhu Waterfall. 🔖Team building: The Eros Cloud Gallery on the top of the mountain has many thrilling projects, which require separate tickets. The joint ticket (158r) includes a suspended glass plank road, a glass sky bridge, an air swing, a mountain jungle glass slide, and a sky cloud gallery. Not suitable for those with acrophobia, it's an adventurer's paradise. ☕️Dining: There are not many choices.

There are scattered stalls nearby selling Yongjia pancakes. 📍Location: Zhu'an Village, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City. Parking is 10r per time.
