[2025 Jinyun Attraction] Travel Guide for Jinyun Xiandu Yandang (Updated Apr)

Lishui is truly a treasure trove! Besides Songyang and Jinyun, I also found a hidden gem of a thousand-year-old temple ⛩️ in Jingning. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was CGI‼️ Fallen ancient trees lay across the road, as if the next second I would travel through time. 📍Xiandu Scenic Area, Jinyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang 🚄Take the high-speed train to "Jinyun West Station," then a taxi for about 20 minutes. 🚗About a 2.5-hour drive from Hangzhou. . ✔️Recommended Spots ▪️Xingyun Courtyard The main filming location for "The Legend of Shen Li."

If you choose to drive, it takes about 2.5 hrs from Hangzhou. 🏯Attractions 1. Dinghufeng Peak Don't miss the "Xingyun Courtyard" here. Located at the foot of Dinghufeng Peak, every window offers a view like a flowing landscape painting, immersing you in its beauty. 2. Zhutan Mountain Zhutan Mountain is the most classic stepping stone bridge photo spot in Xiandu Scenic Area (P1 camera position). The old farmer leading an ox performance is a regular show, free on weekends and holidays, and requires a fee on weekdays. You can also enjoy the same filming location for "The Legend of Shen Li" here, as if reliving the sweet daily life of Xingzhi and Shen Li. 3. Yandang Stone Grottoes The scenery of the Yandang Stone Grottoes is as beautiful as a poem or painting, like a fairyland. Nearby, there is also the "Yandang Study," where you can enjoy reading while admiring the surrounding scenery. 🥘Food Recommendations In Xiandu Scenic Area, you can taste local specialties. We recommend you try the Biluochun and Jasmine Cloud Tea from "7 Points Sweet." These two original leaf milk teas have an elegant aroma and a smooth taste, perfect for a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. You can also buy "The Legend of Shen Li" co-branded peripherals such as transparent cards and standees from 7 Points Sweet as souvenirs. ‼️Travel Tips👣 1. The best time to visit Xiandu is during the Qingming Festival. Xiandu in the rain is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it even more dreamlike. 2. Remember to bring rain gear and sunscreen. 3. Please respect local customs and the natural environment. Do not damage vegetation or cultural relics.

The beginning is here Spring is hope All things awaken with spring All good things are possible Everything goes smoothly Not just in spring Before coming to Lishui, a friend enthusiastically shared their itinerary and specifically reminded me not to forget to visit the Yandang Bookstore at Jinyun Xiandu, saying it was quite interesting! 😊 The attraction is not large, and the main highlight is the bookstore! Buy a cup of coffee, sit down, and quietly enjoy the colorful rock walls, the solitary tree, and the narrow sky above. Every angle looks like a painting!

When traveling to Lishui, I went to Jinyun Xiandu Scenic Area and stopped by Yandang Study Room. The bookstore is not an attraction in the scenic area. You can take the local bus, but the route time is not clear, so I just took the scenic sightseeing bus. Tell the driver to go to Yantang Bookstore and he will get off at the corresponding station and walk to the bookstore. The bookstore is cleverly built by taking advantage of the gaps in the mine mountain. It is very special. There is a cafe at the door, where you can sit and watch the scenery and read a book. The weather must be good and there is sunlight. Through the cracks in the rocks, the light and shadow will hit the rocks, and the light and dark will be distinct. If there is no light, it will feel normal. Visiting the study is free, but there are many people.

A popular check-in spot, located in the 5A scenic area of 'Xiandu Scenic Area' in Jinyun County, is very unique and attracts many tourists to check in. This place is the 'Rock Cave Bookstore'. When you first hear the name 'Rock Cave Bookstore', you might be as curious as I am. Doesn't it sound like just a bookstore? What makes it so special that it has become a popular check-in spot in the 'Xiandu Scenic Area'? When we walked into the 'Rock Cave Bookstore', we suddenly realized and were shocked by the scene in front of us. This is not an ordinary bookstore, but a special bookstore built in a huge cave. The cave where the 'Rock Cave Bookstore' is located is tens of meters high. Looking up, the bookshelves and seats are built along the rock walls. While protecting the original state of the cave to the greatest extent, many modern and fashionable design elements have been added. No wonder the 'Rock Cave Bookstore' has now become a very popular 'internet-famous bookstore' in Lishui, Zhejiang, and has gone viral online. It is said that many tourists come here specially for this 'Rock Cave Bookstore'. It really lives up to its reputation!
