The buildings here are typical of the style of Zhejiang's southern mountain dwellings. They are exquisite in shape, built according to the mountain, and are well-arranged. The black-tile yellow-wall wooden houses are stacked on top of each other, and there is a natural harmony in the disorder, as if they are growing from the ground, perfectly integrated with the surrounding green mountains and green valleys. The black tiles soaked in water vapor all year round exude a strong black color, adding a sense of heaviness and simplicity to the entire village. In the village, the scenery of small bridges and flowing water is everywhere. Two stone arch bridges with different heights and directions, like finishing touches, communicate with each other and become the center of the village. Under the bridge, the clear stream is gurgling, the water splashes, as if telling the ancient story of the ancient village. By the stream, women are washing vegetables and clothes, children are playing and playing, a peaceful and quiet scene. The path in the village is winding and winding, and the bluestone slab road bears the traces of the years, leading people into the depths of the ancient village. Walking in the alley, touching the rough wall, it seems to be able to feel the breath of life of the villagers in the past, which is moving. The natural landscape of Linkeng Ancient Village is even more beautiful. Surrounded by green mountains, the bamboo and wood on the mountain are lush, and the pines and cypresses and miscellaneous trees reflect each other, as if they are holding this small village. Two clear springs on the mountain meander down and flow around the village after converging in front of the village. The air here is fresh, and every breath seems to be in close contact with nature. Every morning, the clouds and mist are lingering in the mountains, the ancient village is looming, like a poem and a painting, it seems to be in a fairyland.
