[2025 Jiande ] Travel Guide for Seven Miles Sailing (Updated Apr)

After a month of research, I finally figured out how to play in Jiande. There was a real traffic jam during Qingming Festival. It took 6 hours to drive from Shanghai to the downtown area of ​​Jiande. However, three days and two nights here is basically enough. I didn’t visit too many paid attractions. Self-driving and stopping is the right way to explore here. ㅤ 🚶Three-day self-driving tour route arrangement (just copy it) ㅤ Day 1: Qili Sailing - Yuquan Temple - Yanzhou Ancient City Day 2 morning: Xin'an Greenway - Jiande Museum - Metasequoia Forest Water Forest Park Afternoon: Baixiao Line + Chunyang Line (circle Qiandao Lake) Set passing points: Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, Shilin Railway Park, Shangjiang Port, Santan Island, Tianyu Mountain Day 3: Xiaya Village - Painted Farmland - Zhijiang Village - Yueji Coffee - Shangdaitou If you are not driving, it is recommended to find a paid attraction on Day 2, such as Lingxi Cave/Daci Rock ㅤ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Yuquan Temple【Free】: A thousand-year-old temple with a long history, originated from the strange rocks of "Fei Lai Peak".

You can rent a car to ride or take a stroll. The point is that there are few people and beautiful scenery. ㅤ 🌟🌟🌟🌟Metasequoia Water Forest Park [Free]: It is close to the hydropower station and is very suitable for city walks.

It is recommended to take the small road up the mountain and the big road down the mountain. There is a cable car 🚠 to save energy.

Qili Yangfan: A Leisurely Journey through Picturesque Scenery! Stepping into Qili Yangfan Scenic Area is like walking into a slowly unfolding landscape painting. The ancient charm and poetic atmosphere are captivating, and every scene is like a watercolor painting, making it hard to leave. Arriving at the Fuchun River, a gentle breeze carries the warmth of the river. Before me, Qili Long winds through the mountains like a green ribbon. The wide river sparkles in the sunlight, shimmering like gold. Boarding an ancient boat, the oars break the calm water, creating ripples that seem to trace unique patterns through time. As the boat sails, the green mountains on both sides rise and fall like a screen. The lush vegetation changes with the seasons. In spring, colorful flowers dot the landscape, as if nature has spilled its paintbox. During my summer visit, the green trees provide shade, and the rich greenery seems to flow, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer. The rocks take on various shapes, resembling tigers or dragons, showcasing nature's craftsmanship. In the distance, mist shrouds the mountains, adding a mysterious touch, like a natural ink painting. It reminds me of the poem "People walk in the mirror, birds fly through the screen," and being here, I can truly appreciate its beauty. Passing by Zixu Yedu, it's like traveling back in time to the turbulent Spring and Autumn period. I seem to hear the footsteps of history, and the scene of Wu Zixu anxiously crossing the river to escape King Ping of Chu comes to life. Standing at the ferry, looking at the rushing river, I can almost feel Wu Zixu's anxiety and determination. Every plant, brick, and tile here carries the weight of history, inspiring respect for the wisdom and courage of the ancients. History and reality blend here, adding charm to the landscape. The allure of Qili Yangfan lies not only in its natural beauty and historical relics but also in its tranquil atmosphere. As the boat sails away from the city's hustle and bustle, my restlessness is gradually washed away by the river. I sit quietly at the bow, listening to the water lapping against the boat, watching fishermen cast their nets, and feeling the slow passage of time. Here, time seems to slow down, and my soul finds a place to rest. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath of fresh air, filled with the fragrance of nature—a unique blend of the river's moisture, the scent of plants, and the earthy aroma, bringing peace of mind. At dusk, the sunset casts a warm glow on the river, turning Qili Long orange-red. The fiery sunset and the river reflect each other, creating a stunning scene. At this moment, Qili Yangfan is like a fairy in colorful clothes, breathtakingly beautiful. I am enchanted by this scenery, filled with awe and gratitude for nature. The Qili Yangfan journey is a feast for the eyes and soul. It allows me to appreciate the stunning beauty of the Fuchun River, experience its rich history and culture, and find a peaceful haven in the bustling world. As I leave, I feel reluctant, but the beauty of Qili Yangfan is etched in my heart, becoming a precious and beautiful memory. Like a bright pearl, it adorns this land, exuding eternal charm, attracting more people to explore its poetry and romance.

Remember these seven things: 1, Jiande is part of Hangzhou, downstream of Qiandao Lake, you must pass through Jiande to go to Qiandao Lake, so you can arrange Jiande together with the route of Qiandao Lake; 2, Jiande's Yanzhou ancient city is also called Meicheng ancient town, it is a less popular ancient city on the bank of Xin'an River that does not charge admission and has free performances as shown in picture 2 3, There are many homestays with river views in Jiande, especially next to Sandu fishing village, they are concentrated in a large area, the price is cheaper than Tonglu, and the quality is not inferior to Tonglu 3, In addition to Meicheng ancient town and Sandu fishing village, Jiande also has attractions such as Qili Yangfan, Lingqi Cave (the shooting location of Journey to the West in 86), Daci Rock, Xinye ancient village, Xiaya wetland, etc. 4, The food in Jiande is different from Hangzhou, it is closer to Quzhou cuisine, it is spicy and salty, tourists who think Hangzhou is a food desert can come here to enjoy Xin'an River fish head, stick fish, etc. are all delicacies 5, Jiande is the hometown of strawberries in China, every year it sends a large number of berry farmers to the whole country, the variety of strawberries is rich, the picking season can last from winter to April of the next year. Yangcunqiao town is the main production area 6, The water of Jiande's Xin'an River is almost constant at 17 degrees all year round because it all flows out from the bottom of Qiandao Lake, so there is 17 degrees Jiande 7, The best way to travel in Jiande is to charter a car or self-drive because the attractions are far apart

Boating through the vast mountains and rivers of the world, the majestic scenery of the mountain gorge, the Huangpu River on the building, today with the old captain, embarked on a journey of Jiande Qili, the scenery of the Fuchun River, the people of all ages visited Therefore, a generation of famous Wu Zixu crossed the river here.

Qiliyangfan Scenic Area is an ideal place for leisure and holiday in a landscape promenade, poetry and painting gallery and historical promenade. Hangzhou can be reached in 2 hours, and there are many B&B resorts in the surrounding area.

Some places have gone and I want to go again. The Qili Yangfan Scenic Area Shanqing, Shuiqing, Shiyou, and secluded is the real reappearance of Fuchun Mountain. As an important part of Fuchunjiang-Xin'anjiang-Thousand Island Lake, Qilitun is known as the most famous tourist rivers and rivers in China, and the Yangtze River Three Gorges and Guilin Lijiang River. The reputation of Little Three Gorges is not lost.

After the little friend came ashore, he became very addicted and said that he had never been so tightly held by a person, and he looked shyly blushing at the coachs face. Afterwards, another small partner decided to challenge the motorboat after being encouraged, and two other partners were ready to try the kayak. The two ships drove off the shore almost at the same time. After all, the manual was not as good as the electric one. When the motorboat stepped on the gas pedal, it would fly far away like a string of arrows. It would stir up the calm river surface and spread to two kayaks. The little friend had to keep the balance of the hull forward. Compared with the stimulating thrill of motorboats, kayaking is much milder, there is no thrilling water drift, more test the collaboration ability of two people and the test of upper body strength. Although the two young partners are the first time partners, they can be regarded as a tacit understanding. The left paddle is paddling right, trying to avoid the turbulent waves of the motorboat. Enjoy the slow time in the smooth waters. This is a slow and slow time. A moving picture, complement each other, formed the surface of the 17-degree Fuchun River.

When I walked to the dock, the first thing that caught my eye was that the ten sailboats imported from abroad were docked on the shore. Compared with the Fuchun River, it was like a vast leaf, a vast drop of water, parked on the shore and accepted the horizon. Dust, blessings and fine wine, in the arms of the pier, telling peace again and again. Walk over the pontoon and admire the scenery of Fuchun River along the way. It seems to have found the shadow of Fuchun Mountain Residence, which sensationalized the capital in the past. It is said that this singularity is also based on the scenery of Qi Li Sailing here. The mountains in the distance are looming in the white smoke, the clouds in the sky are gently floating, and the Fuchun River water stepping on the foot is telling us about its hospitality with a small wave.

The flowers on the stranger fly, and the slow return from teaching. As the two butterflies danced, they led us to the first destination of the trip, the Sanjiangkou Water Sports Base. This is a multi-purpose water sports base located at the Yaowu Wharf in Qiliyang, Fuchunjiang. It is also the first inland river sailing base in the Yangtze River Delta. In 2015, it hosted the first Chinese University Student Sailing Competition.

Xin'anjiang Yishan Yishui Mountain is beautiful, it is definitely the natural oxygen bar of the outstanding people. This time, the seven-mile Yang Fan is worthwhile. Sitting on the boat, watching the blue waters and the beautiful mountains blowing the comfortable river wind, the whole body and mind They are immersed in peace and harmony. During the whole process, the staff on board are enthusiastic and enthusiastic. When they get off the boat and board the Huludao, they will feel the fresh air that they don't have in the noisy city. It feels like they have made a natural SPA for their lungs. The whole place is green and green, which is extremely natural and luxurious. This place is mainly based on boat trips, but the fare is extremely favorable.

Maybe a lot of customs have been annihilated, maybe everyone just likes Western-style weddings, but traditional Chinese weddings will probably be more interesting. This time is the water wedding of Jiande. There are seven couples, silver couples, foreign friends, overseas Chinese representatives, fishermen's weddings, squatting, and dowry. It is very interesting. Grab the candy, a bit of joy. Open the smile of the hijab; kiss the sweetness of the cheeks; the joy of the scene of sugar, the true love will be like this. Participate in the wedding, look at the surrounding scenery, it is also beautiful to get drunk.
