If you prefer to drive, it's incredibly convenient! The scenic area's bus is also a great option, with stops everywhere and unlimited rides for just CNY 20/person, but you'll need to be patient. Renting an electric scooter 🛵 is even more flexible and convenient, allowing you to zip between attractions at your leisure! 🗓Itinerary: Dinghu Peak → Zhutan Mountain → Xiandu Taoist Temple → Niweng Cave → Yandang Study → Little Red Cliff The Jiangnan secret realm in the early morning is filled with misty vapor, and the Little Red Cliff at sunset is worth cherishing every moment. 🌟Highlight features: Dinghu Peak 🏔️: Tickets are CNY 90, and the cable car is CNY 40 for a round trip. The scenery at the top of the mountain is infinite and definitely worth the price! Zhutan Mountain, the filming location of "The Legend of Shen Li," features the stunning Old Man and Buffalo painting, which is even better on rainy days!

Come to Xiandu, Jinyun, and experience this ethereal wonderland 🥬

I took a trip to Jinyun and realized that the weather in May is like opening a blind box 🌥️! The sun is scorching hot during the day 🌞, with strong UV rays; in the afternoon, there may be a sudden heavy rain 🌧️. If you don't bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days and a sunscreen jacket, you will be in a mess in minutes! Moreover, some scenic mountain roads are winding, and if the transportation is not well planned, it is easy to waste time 😣! Fortunately, I did enough research in advance. Keep this guide 👇! Transportation to Jinyun 🚇 🚄 High-speed train: It is super convenient to go directly to Jinyun West Station! After exiting the station, take a taxi 🚕 for about 20 minutes to get to the Xiandu Scenic Area; or take a bus 🚌 (follow the "Jinyun Travel" APP to check the route), which saves money and allows you to enjoy the scenery~ The nearby Yongkang South Station can also be used for transfer, but it is a bit far from the core scenic area! 🚗 Self-driving: Just follow the navigation! However, the scenic parking lot turns into a "parking space grabbing battle" 🅿️ during holidays. It is recommended to arrive before 8am, otherwise it will be super frustrating to circle around looking for a parking space! Accommodation reference 🏠 • Around Xiandu Scenic Area: Strongly recommend Jin Yun Li She and Yue Jing Zhuang 🌳! Open the window and you can see Dinghu Peak. Wake up to the sound of birds in the morning and watch the stars at night ✨. The disadvantage is that the price is high during the peak season, so you have to book a week in advance! • Jinyun County: If you want to go shopping, eating, and drinking, choose here! Jinjiang International and other chain hotels are cost-effective. There is a snack street downstairs, so you can rush out to buy sesame cakes in the middle of the night~ Popular attractions 🎈 ⛰️ Xiandu Scenic Area: • Dinghu Peak: The "No. 1 Peak in the World" soars into the sky, like a giant stone bamboo shoot rising from the ground! Taking photos in Hanfu will directly make you a goddess 📸 • Zhutan Mountain: In the morning mist season, it is as beautiful as a Chinese ink painting 🌫️! Rush to squat for the "Old Farmer Leading the Cow" performance before 7 o'clock, the fairy-like atmosphere is full~ • Yandang Bookstore: A popular place to check in online! Natural cave + beautiful light and shadow, drink a cup of coffee and read a book, the literary value is bursting ☕ 🌺 Dayang Mountain: May is the world of azaleas! The monkey-head azaleas and lantern azaleas all over the mountains bloom into a sea of flowers 🌸. It is recommended to hike to Dayang Mountain Tip, overlooking the continuous green mountains, and taking photos at will are all wallpapers! 🏯 Heyang Ancient Residences: The Ming and Qing architectural complex hides the password of time! The horse head walls and ancient ancestral halls are very charming. If you are tired from shopping, you can also drink a cup of green tea 🍵 in the old teahouse and listen to the boss chatting and telling stories~ Popular food 🍜 🥧 Jinyun sesame cake: Carbon water lovers are ecstatic! Dried vegetables + streaky pork are freshly baked. Take a bite and it’s crispy and oily. It is recommended to go to the "Old Sesame Cake" shop. It costs CNY 5 a piece and it’s so fragrant that you stomp your feet! 🍜 Tu Shuang Noodles: Noodles that are so thin that they can be threaded through a needle! Cooked in clear soup with poached eggs, it’s so delicious that your eyebrows fall off; stir-fried with shredded pork and vegetables, it’s super satisfying to slurp a big bowl~ 🥣 Qiao Rou Geng: Tender and smooth to slurp! Pork is pounded into thin slices and thickened, it’s sour and spicy and appetizing. It’s great to have a brown sugar mochi as afternoon tea! ⚠️Tips to avoid pitfalls: 1️⃣ Be sure to bring an umbrella for both sunny and rainy days + sunscreen + mosquito repellent, don't let the weather/mosquitoes mess with me! 2️⃣ The "Old Farmer Leading the Cow" performance in Xiandu is free on holidays, and you need to make a phone reservation and pay for it at ordinary times 📞 3️⃣ Wear non-slip shoes for hiking in Dayang Mountain, don't wear white shoes! It's super difficult to wash off the dirt 😭 4️⃣ Look for "charcoal-fired freshly baked" sesame cake stalls on the street, the pre-made cakes taste much worse! Keep the guide and rush to Jinyun to see the mountains, ancient villages, and eat carbon water bombs~ gogogo🚀!

🚶‍♀️Itinerary Day 1️⃣: ➡️Xiao Chibi ➡️Xiandu Temple ➡️Zhutan Mountain ➡️Dinghufeng Peak ➡️Niweng Cave ➡️Yan Dang Study at Xixiaoyan Day 2️⃣: ➡️Jinyun Museum 📌Tips: 1️⃣Except for Dinghufeng Peak, all other attractions are free. 2️⃣You can board the scenic bus at Xiao Chibi. Tell the driver which attraction you want to go to and buy a ticket. Except for Xiao Chibi, there are ticket inspectors at each stop where you can buy tickets (ticket expiration date: 2 days, hop on and off as you please). 3️⃣For the Zhutan Mountain performance "Old Farmer Herding Cattle," please check the showtimes on the official account in advance. The performance will be canceled on rainy days. It happened to rain when I went (see the picture for showtimes). 4️⃣There is a campsite and a cafe at Niweng Cave with amazing views. I spent more than an hour there just relaxing. It was so comfortable! Next time I go, I must camp there overnight. 5️⃣Yan Dang Study can be quite noisy when it's crowded, but it's a great place for taking photos. 6️⃣Jinyun Museum: I recommend visiting the museum to learn about the history of Jinyun. There is an exhibition of Li Zhenjian's works, mainly ink paintings, including some figure paintings. The lines are very vivid and worth copying. 🚗Transportation Mainly taxis and scenic buses. If the distance is not too far, I suggest taking the slow train to Lishui. The scenery along the way is amazing. 🎫Tickets Dinghufeng Peak requires an entrance fee, which I didn't pay. 🍽Food Recommendations 1️⃣I ate at my B&B hostess's house. Jinyun's baked sesame cakes, with the aroma of preserved vegetables and minced meat, were delicious. I think they are even better than Jinhua's spicy shortcakes. 2️⃣The small wontons made by the hostess were also delicious. 3️⃣There is a small stall selling freshly squeezed sugarcane juice at the exit of Niweng Cave. It's delicious and looks clean and hygienic. 4️⃣I ate Jinyun's Tu Shuang Noodles opposite Niweng Cave. How should I put it? The first bite was quite good, the shredded meat was especially fresh, and the noodles were soft. But the more I ate, the stronger the flavor became, which was a bit strange. I don't know if they added too much MSG. There are other local specialties you can try. If you find anything delicious, please recommend it to me! I'll try it next time I visit.

Then you absolutely can't miss this guide! The Blossom Hill Inn (Jinyun Lumingxuan) is the perfect "base camp" for exploring Xiandu. This trip is guaranteed to be worth it! 👏 📍 Prime Location in the Scenic Area The inn is perfectly situated in the heart of the Xiandu Scenic Area, allowing you to seamlessly immerse yourself in the picturesque beauty of this 5A-rated attraction. Xiandu Scenic Area is renowned for its unique volcanic rock formations, which have created countless breathtaking landscapes. Dinghu Peak: This is the iconic landmark of Xiandu, known as the "No. 1 Bamboo Shoot in the World." Rising 170.8 meters, this solitary peak towers into the sky. Visit in the early morning, and you'll find it shrouded in mist, resembling a divine pillar standing alone in a fairyland. It's also a popular filming location for many movies and TV series. Standing at the foot of the peak, you'll feel like you've stepped into a world of fantasy. Moreover, the area around Dinghu Peak is vast, and the Huangdi Temple is also located here. The annual Huangdi Ceremony is held here, adding to its rich cultural heritage. Ni Weng Cave: Located on the mountainside of Chuyang Mountain, this cave was formed by the erosion of weathered agglomerate pumice by the Hao Stream and the uplift of the earth's crust. Legend has it that Ni Zi, the teacher of Fan Li, lived in seclusion here after helping Yue defeat Wu. There are 60 inscriptions from past dynasties, and the "Ni Weng Cave" inscription by the seal master Li Yangbing is a true treasure. "Joy of Life 2" was also filmed here. Xiao Chibi: Formerly known as Baiyan, this cliff is located across the stream from Xiayang Village. It stretches about 650 meters from east to west and is about 60 meters high. The cliff face is mottled with reddish-brown and white, resembling a fire burning from a distance. It is similar to the Yangtze River's Chibi (Red Cliff) but smaller in scale, hence the name. There is also an inscription of "Yin Hai" signed by Gong Tingbin, a magistrate of the Ming Dynasty. "Joy of Life 2" also left its mark here. Furong Gorge: Located three or four kilometers upstream along the Hao Stream from Dinghu Peak, you can reach it by crossing the stream into the valley. The cliffs on both sides are pitch-black, and the mountains are like castles made of steel. The further you go, the higher the cliffs and the narrower the valley become. At its narrowest point, only one person can pass through. The scene in the movie "Ashima" where Ahei shoots an arrow through the mountain was filmed here. Further in, there is the lush Zizhiwu, which is said to be where the Eight Immortals of the East Sea drank mountain spring water and tasted Zizhi mushrooms. Xiandu Temple: Formerly known as Zhao Hou Temple, this is the oldest recorded ancestral temple building in Jinyun, dedicated to Zhao Bing, a Taoist alchemist from the Eastern Han Dynasty who was skilled in medicine. He used his skills to treat people and save countless lives, and the people built a temple to worship him in gratitude. Many movies and TV series, such as "Monk Comes Down the Mountain," "Flying Daggers," and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," have been filmed here. Zhutan Mountain: Located across the stream from Banyan Village, it is named Zhutan Mountain because Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty often came here for leisure and boating on the green pool. The cobblestone embankment along the pool is lined with weeping willows, and a long bridge spans the water. It is a popular place for couples to take wedding photos and is also called Xiandu Embankment. The Wangfeng Pavilion on the embankment is an excellent spot to photograph the reflection of Dinghu Peak. The famous photographer Wu Pinhe won an international photography award for his work "Fairyland," which was taken here.
