[2025 Songyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Yangjiatang Village (Updated Apr)

It's already October, and China is about to enter the most beautiful season - autumn. Not only is the temperature suitable, the autumn is high and refreshing, many places will also put on the most gorgeous coat. The shepherd's flute, the reed flowers flying, the ten miles of osmanthus, the ten thousand miles of fragrance. The lake is blue, the beach is quiet, the melon and fruit are fragrant, the moon is high. Chrysanthemums compete for beauty, autumn wind and red leaves, falling flowers are colorful, and the forest is dyed...... Ejina, Tarim's Populus euphratica forest, Benxi, Xiangshan's maple leaves, Kanas, Jiuzhaigou's beautiful mountains and rivers, Huangling's autumn drying, Wuyuan's white wall and tile green...... These places often appear in everyone's travel list, so it is common for people to be full. "It's not for the scenery, it's for the number of people." "There are more people than maple leaves." Plus, many people like to travel during the National Day Golden Week, and the scene is even more spectacular. In order to let everyone spend a quiet autumn, today I recommend a small travel destination, with few people and beautiful scenery, take advantage of the October holiday to set off! Zhejiang·Lishui Lishui is located in the south of Zhejiang and is known as "the last Jiangnan". It's smart and beautiful, and it's full of thoughts. The autumn of Lishui is quieter, the mountains are full of red, and the forest is dyed. The autumn color in the city is attractive and varied. Look up and it's a painting, look down and it's a poem. The "Yunhe Terraces" that countless people yearn for are here. In autumn, when the rice is harvested, the whole village is bathed in golden light, the cattle plough the fields, the birds sing in the sky, the smoke from the cooking in the distance, and the shepherd boy, as if in a paradise. Lishui has many ancient villages, the most famous of which is Yangjiatang Village in Songyang. In autumn, the persimmon leaves here fall off, and the red persimmons hang all over the branches, forming a wonderful picture with the local yellow mud tile horse head wall. Looking at the simple and warm village, I think of a sentence: The autumn in the village with the smell of fireworks is the most reluctant hidden homesickness in memory.

🌳 Songyang Ancient Town, a secluded place nestled in the mountains~ This place is really famous, so I won't go into details. I mainly want to share my travel experience to help you understand it in advance~ 【Route】 There are many ancient towns here. In order to reserve more time for play, we stayed near Songyang Old Street the night before, which is very close During the May Day holiday when there are many people, the ancient village will be subject to traffic control, and cars are not allowed to enter or exit. You need to take the arranged shuttle bus Songyang Old Street - Ancient Village Shuttle Bus: 20min Yangjiatang Village + Youtian Village + Songzhuang: 3-4h Chenjiapu + Xikeng Village: 2-3h Return to Lishui Station: 1.5h 【Travel TIPs】 💥It is not recommended to go shopping in the old street, it is not interesting, and there is nothing to eat. The Internet celebrity shop has a lot of people, and it is not very delicious, a bit disappointed 💥It is recommended to go to the shuttle bus to queue up early, there are many people, you have to queue for a long time, and you have to reserve time to find a parking space 💥The shuttle bus charges are divided into two, Yangjiatang Village + Youtian Village + Songzhuang, is a line; Chenjiapu + Xikeng Village is another line; we went to Yangjiatang line in the morning and Chenjiapu in the afternoon 💥In fact, the ancient villages are all similar. You can read more guides and choose 2-3 places to stroll around. It is recommended to go to Yangjiatang and Chenjiapu. Others are casual. Many photos on the Internet are taken from a good angle. When you arrive at the site, you can’t find where it is, and there are many people on holidays, so it’s hard to take ideal photos 💥The ground in the ancient village is not easy to walk, there are many people, you must pay attention to safety

Can you imagine? Beyond the hustle and bustle of the world, there lies a real-life golden Potala Palace—Yangjiatang Village. The journey to this centuries-old village may be a little bumpy. The entrance is bustling with traffic and people taking photos, making parking a headache. In the end, we had to park randomly on the roadside, adding an unexpected twist to our trip. However, this didn't diminish its charm in the slightest. We chose to check in to a homestay in the ancient village, immersing ourselves in the local life. The village isn't large; it takes only an hour to walk around the outer perimeter. But it's worth savoring every nook and cranny, from morning till night. In the early morning, listen to the gurgling streams and the gentle chirping of birds. Strangely, even the cats and dogs are quiet, as if they too are captivated by the tranquility. While there aren't many homestays and farm stays here, the few available meet basic needs. In the evening, mosquitoes came to "join the fun," but as soon as 7 o'clock arrived, a gentle breeze blew, and they vanished as if by magic, leaving only a pleasant evening breeze. The ancient wooden doors in the village are riddled with holes from years gone by. We thought we wouldn't sleep well, but when we woke up in the morning, we all smiled at each other, having slept surprisingly soundly. In the evening, the golden sunlight casts a glow on the earthen-yellow walls, truly giving it the charm of the Potala Palace, so beautiful that it's hard to look away. In Yangjiatang Village, time seems to slow down. Here, you can let go of your busyness and fatigue, and quietly experience the charm of ancient civilization. It's like savoring a vintage wine—the older it is, the richer the flavor. Come here, slow down, and discover your own peace and beauty.

However, the transportation here is not very convenient, and it is not easy to get a taxi, so the best way to travel is to drive yourself.

Yangjiatang Village is surrounded by mountains, with more than 20 Qing Dynasty residences built along the hillside, forming a typical stepped ancient residence. Its simplicity, tranquility, and natural scenery make it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Travel tips: The mountain roads are rugged, so it's recommended to bring motion sickness medicine. The village requires walking, so comfortable shoes are important. Visit on a sunny day, as the light and shadow effects are best in the early morning and evening.

Zhejiang Travel: Lishui Yangjiatang Village & Yuanshe Lanshu Yangjiatang Village The village is characterized by yellow cottage buildings, the color of which comes from the bright yellow mud used to plaster the walls, which appears particularly bright and warm in the winter sun. The village is not very commercialized, and there are homestays, restaurants and coffee shops. It is very comfortable to stroll around and take a break. There is a group of old houses on the upper part of the hillside, and further down is the Nanshe coffee shop and viewing pavilion, which is a classic viewing location of Yangjiatang. You must see the Husband and Wife Tree at the entrance of the village, which are two huge and lush camphor trees. Original House Tree The red and yellow maple leaves are the most beautiful here in winter. The room was full on a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. On Sunday, the crowds dispersed and the mountains returned to their quietness. One disadvantage is that it is quite cold in winter and it took a whole night for the air conditioner to warm up the room; the other is that there are not enough staff and the food is served very slowly. Agriculture is a characteristic industry in Lishui. We bought sweet tangerines and another kind of citrus in Yangjiatang Village. The sweet tangerines have a fresh and elegant taste, while the citrus has a sweet and sour taste. I've been eating farm food these days, and my favorites are pork with scallions and Songyang salad.

Yangjiatang Village is a unique ancient village known as the "Potala Palace of Jiangnan" and is a must-visit destination. 🏡 Yangjiatang Village is located in Sandu Township, Songyang County, Zhejiang Province. It is about 8 km from the county town to the village along a narrow mountain road. The village is nestled in a circular mountain hollow, with mountains embracing the village on both sides. ☀ Yangjiatang Village was built around 1655 and has a history of over 350 years. The village's ancestor was Song Kesang, the grandson of Song Lian, a famous Confucian scholar and founding minister of the Ming Dynasty. Today, over 90% of the village's population still bears the surname Song. It is a typical terraced ancient village in Songyang County, known as the "Golden Potala Palace." The village is nestled in a circular mountain hollow, with mountains embracing the village on both sides. More than 20 Qing Dynasty wooden houses extend up the hillside. ✨ Check-in points: The iconic large camphor tree at the entrance of the village has been around for many years. The tree is lush and leafy, like a green umbrella. Under the ancient camphor tree, you can see the famous cowherd star, whose cowherding performance is a regular feature of Yangjiatang Village tourism.

When you walk into Yangjiatang, the most eye-catching thing is the rows of ancient buildings from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and the layers of facing horse-head walls. Of course, it also includes those exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, carved doors and windows, etc. Almost every courtyard of the ancient residences in Yangjiatang has academic journals and official newspapers, and some even have them posted from the central hall to the guest room walls. Due to the passage of time, no one is complete. Some journals still have a few words, and some have almost no trace of words. No. 1 of Yangjiatang Village, also known as the "Dingtou Hall" of the village, is the former residence of Song Qiyi, who was a Chinese student and the highest national university student. The wall culture of Yangjiatang is very rich, which truly reflects people’s life beliefs and artistic pursuits at that time. The spring, summer, autumn and winter scenes in Room 6 have a long history, and the autumn scenery in them can no longer be seen clearly. The motto of Zhu Xi on family management on the top of the door of Room 4 and the "Four Proverbs of Cheng Zi" on the top of the door of Room 2 are still well preserved. Room 2 The poems on the north and south sides of the patio are Qianlong's seven-character ancient poems. From the wall culture of Yangjiatang, we can clearly see that 160 years ago, the ancestors of the Song family in Yangjiatang began to attach importance to cultural education. Their attention is not just in thoughts, but also implemented in concrete actions. For example, the old lady Cai mentioned above still asked her two sons to "work day and night" even though her husband died young and her family was poor. It can be seen how open-minded this great mother is and how knowledgeable she is about the world. of far-sightedness. After Mrs. Cai asked her two sons to "work day and night," Song Hongtang inherited his mother's tradition. "When the children in the village are young and have lost their education, they will set up a library with teachers, and the sound of singing can be heard in the valley." By the time of Song Junmei (1836--1901), he also "donated funds to establish Dide Primary School, and Zhang Gang, the magistrate of Songyang, awarded him a plaque of "Zeliu Sangzi"." Its schooling date is earlier than the county Yuxiu Primary School (founded in 1905). It is precisely because of the emphasis on education that many "golden phoenixes" have flown out of such a small mountain village.

||Lishui Songyang. The first stop was Yangjiatang in Songyang. The most popular photo spot here is this ancient tree. If you're lucky, you'll meet the old man with the cow (sometimes you need to pay 💰). The mountain road is quite rugged, so drivers should be careful. There is no public transportation here, so you can only drive or charter a car. Next, I'll check in at a few old villages in Lishui. Any recommendations?

Yangjiatang Village is built on a mountain, nestled in a circular valley, with mountains on both sides embracing the village, and a mountain stream flowing down from the south of the village.

The huge architectural facade is magnificent yet simple, with a sense of order and harmony. The yellow walls and blue tiles, the towering ancient trees, and the distant view resemble a small Potala Palace, earning it the nickname "Potala Palace of Jiangnan." Two large camphor trees with strong branches and beautiful shapes stand majestically at the entrance of the village, shielding Yangjiatang Village with their lush foliage. The ancient trees have withstood the test of time and become the soul of the ancient village. The ancient trees, the ancient village, and the dark mountains create a simple and beautiful rural landscape.

Yangjiatang Ancient Village is located in Sandu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It is an ancient village with typical Jiangnan characteristics. The village is located in a circular valley, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the feng shui layout is quite obvious. The most striking features of Yangjiatang Ancient Village are the densely packed ancient buildings from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and the layers of horse-head walls that stand facing each other. The height difference of the houses in the whole village is about 2 to 3 meters, and the high-rise buildings stretch for 200 meters, presenting a huge building facade in the field of vision.

||. I've been to Songyang countless times over the past few years. There are more than 100 hidden ancient villages in the mountains, known as the "last secret place in Jiangnan." This is a place favored by cultural and tourism projects, especially the Xianfeng Bookstore and various popular homestays in Sidu Township. However, apart from Yangjiatang Village, few people mention the other villages in Sandu Township. My favorite villages this season are Shangtian Village, Youtian Village, and Songzhuang Village. I wake up in a fairyland every day, and the persimmon trees in the village are full of persimmons. The grandma in the village enthusiastically gave me the persimmon cakes she made. Hahaha, I wish you all the best! Transportation: Driving is the most convenient way to travel between villages. Trains (only slow trains) and buses take the same amount of time. It takes 3.5–4 hours to drive from Hangzhou. It takes 25 minutes to drive from Songyang County to the village, and the scenery along the way is amazing. Once, I met a family from Shanghai who drove for 5 hours just to have lunch in the village and then drove back to Shanghai.

I have been living in Liangzhu for the past few months. So I will share more treasure travel destinations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This time I share with you 2-day and 1-night self-driving travel guide to Songyang, write it down if you are interested. The distance from Liangzhu to Songyang is 300 kilometers, and it takes 4 hours to drive 🚗 I don't want to experience it too much, I hope to spend some time to experience it slowly. So this trip we visited a total of 5 ancient villages (four of which were in one line). Easy route without detours 🗺️👇 Day 1: Chenjiapu Ancient Village + Songyang County Old Street (stay in Songyang County at night) Day 2: Yangjiatang Ancient Village - Shangtian Village - Youtian Village - Songzhuang Village ✔️Chenjiapu Ancient Village is much farther away than other villages. But it is about 15 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Hangzhou. So you can go to Chenjiapu first. There are also many tourists on weekdays. There are many tourist buses 🚌, so you have to drive carefully as it is a mountain road all the way. Points worth checking out: Pioneer Bookstore - Askaji Café - The small corridor next to Pioneer Bookstore - Observation Deck (where you can take photos of scattered houses, winding trails, and the autumn scenery of the village) ✔️The internet-famous couple tree at the entrance of Yangjiatang Village is a must-see. The 300-year-old tree has witnessed the changes of history. You can sit under the tree and feel the energy of the ancient tree. The coffee shop next to the big tree is decorated with an autumn atmosphere. You can order a cup of Songyang ancient tea, sit at the door, and bask in the sun like the locals, watching the breeze floating, the mottled shadows of the trees, and the tourists coming and going. ✔️Shangtian Village and Youtian Village are both relatively primitive villages without too many tourists. You can go to the observation deck to overlook the whole picture of the village. ✔️Songzhuang Village: The village is not big, but the atmosphere is very good. There are cafes and bookstores, old ladies making hand-rolled noodles (delicious), small bridges and flowing water, and smoke-filled houses. This is what I imagined the secret place in the south of the Yangtze River to look like. Tips: At the end of November, there will be more people drying autumn leaves in the village. Taking photos will have a more autumn atmosphere. If you only visit three, Chenjiapu, Yangjiatang and Songzhuang Village are must-sees. Yangjiatang Village
