If you don't visit after a rainfall, you likely won't see the waterfall, so you can skip it 📍Linkeng Ancient Village Recommended Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌈 Highlights: This is the most photogenic of the ancient villages I visited. The entire village is nestled in the mountains, like a paradise. The environment of the ancient village is very natural, with streams, smoke rising from chimneys, and a sense of tranquility 🏡 📝 Travel Tips 🔸If you only have two days on the weekend to visit Wenzhou, I personally recommend skipping the city center and visiting the Nanxi River and Yandang Mountain Scenic Areas. It will truly bring unexpected surprises~ 🔸Car rentals in Wenzhou are very affordable, so although there is some distance between the scenic spots, it is very convenient to travel by car~ 🔸The order of the two-day itinerary can be swapped. If you go to Yandang Mountain first, you can also consider staying in a homestay in the Nanxi River Scenic Area at night, which will make the second day's itinerary more relaxed~ 🔸In 2025, Wenzhou launched cultural and tourism benefits, with free or discounted admission to multiple ancient villages and the Yandang Mountain Scenic Area with a flight ticket. Be sure to show your flight ticket at the scenic area ticket office~
