[Anshan Ancient Trail]: A paradise on earth that is disappearing! ❗
The Anshan Ancient Trail is a light hiking route with diverse scenery, including Danxia landforms, tea gardens, waterfalls, and streams. The mountain paths are covered with green tea gardens and bluestone steps. The unique Danxia landforms along the plank road have created many dark red streams and rocks.
However, the Anshan Ancient Trail is disappearing. The area where the ancient trail is located will be covered by the [Jingling Reservoir] under construction. The official construction period of the Jingling Reservoir is from 2024 to 2035, lasting 11 years. The diversion tunnel project has already been built. It will be the largest reservoir in Zhejiang's history and the largest reservoir in Xinchang County and even Shaoxing City. After the reservoir is completed, the entire quiet Anshan Ancient Trail will be completely submerged, so there is not much time left. Cherish it while you can. 😭😭😭

Persimmons in autumn are sweet.
My friends, I found a great place - the persimmon forest in Jingshan Village, Xinchang, Shaoxing. This is simply a treasure land in autumn!
1. Attraction Introduction
It is easy to find this persimmon forest from Nanjing. Jingshan Village is full of persimmon trees. At this time of year, the leaves have fallen, and the red persimmons are like small lanterns hanging on the branches, creating a strong autumn atmosphere. There is a good persimmon coffee shop at the entrance of the village, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while drinking coffee and spend a leisurely afternoon. It is very pleasant. Walking along the entrance of the village, there is a viewing platform where you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire village. Further up, there is a persimmon garden. Many people tend to overlook this place, but the persimmons here are denser, making it a great place for taking photos.
2. Food Features
There are persimmons for sale along the way from the entrance of the village to the persimmon garden, and the price is super cheap, 2 yuan per jin. I bought a few small persimmons for only 3 yuan. The persimmons here are sweet and juicy, with a very good taste. In addition to persimmons, Xinchang County also has many special delicacies, such as Xinchang fried rice cakes, soft and glutinous rice cakes with delicious side dishes, and taro dumplings, which are chewy and have rich fillings.
3. Attractions
In addition to the persimmon forest in Jingshan Village, if you have enough time, you can also visit the Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area. Tianmu Mountain has beautiful scenery, with continuous peaks and clouds, like a fairyland. There are also many places worth visiting in Xinchang County, such as the Great Buddha Temple, which has a long history and magnificent architecture.
4. Precautions
1. It is best to choose a sunny day to visit the persimmon forest, as the photos will turn out better.
2. The roads in the village are relatively narrow, so drive carefully and slowly.
3. The viewing platform and persimmon garden are located at a relatively high position, so be careful when climbing the mountain.
Come to the persimmon forest in Jingshan Village, Xinchang, Shaoxing, and experience the beauty of autumn!

Anshan Ancient Trail | Before it disappears...
| Before it disappears...📍Anshan Ancient Trail is located in Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It was built in the Tianxi period of the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years.
👣Route: Xiaoquanxi Village ➡️ Shitou Shuitan ➡️ Jinshuo Bridge ➡️ Youlongtan ➡️ Qilin Tunchan ➡️ Huguo Nunnery ➡️ Feilong Waterfall ➡️ 700-year-old tree ➡️ Anshan Village
The whole journey is about 4.5 km.
🚄Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Shengzhou Xinchang Station, then take a Didi taxi 🚗 for about CNY 80 to Xiaoquanxi Village (⚠️ Do not take a taxi, as they will ask for extra money).
⛰️The ancient trail has canyons, waterfalls, streams, ancient bridges, tea gardens🍃, and village houses, which are very beautiful.
🏞️Youlongtan, with a water depth of 5 meters, is clear and emerald green. Many people play in the water💦, which is a very suitable place for parent-child🧑🧑🧒 travel.
🏞️Feilong Waterfall is in Jianguo Village, don't miss it. Take the stone bridge at the fork in the road, continue to Jianguo Village on the opposite side, and walk past Huguo Nunnery.
⚠️Tips
Wear wading shoes and prepare a change of clothes if you want to play in the water.
There are no toilets along the way, only at the entrance of the village.
There are supply stalls along the way, with drinks and snacks, but no owner. Please scan the code to pay.
The rocks by the stream are very slippery, and there are many small snakes in the jungle (I don't know what they are), so be careful⚠️
There are taxi numbers everywhere in the village. From Anshan Village to the high-speed railway station, the unified price is CNY 120, which may be due to the peak season. It is recommended to book a Didi in advance.
In fact, according to our route, there is a final climb, all of which are stone steps. The weather is hot, and it is quite tiring. It is recommended to go in the opposite direction, Anshan Village ➡️ Xiaoquanxi Village, so the whole journey is easier.
It is said that a national water conservancy project, Jingling Reservoir💦, will be built here in 2024. After the water is stored, Xiaoquanxi Village will be completely submerged. I don't know if it is true. In any case, this beautiful hiking route is not to be missed.

Limited to early autumn, the persimmons are red, miss it and wait for a year!
Self-driving for 3 hours, set off from Shanghai at 7 o'clock in the morning
Just for the persimmon forest in Shaoxing in early autumn
The persimmon forest in Jing Shan Village, Xinchang📍 is really beautiful!
No tickets required, free parking!
The fresh orange color with dopamine looks good no matter how you shoot
Even on cloudy days, it is not inferior
The mist in the distant mountains makes the scenery more fairy-like
But there are really, really, really many people on weekends‼ ️
We arrived at 10 o'clock, and the parking lot inside was not allowed to enter
Can only park on the road outside
Then walk to the village about 7, 800 meters
It's picking season recently
The persimmons on the tree will only be less in the future
If you want to take pictures, hurry up!
Because there are too many people on weekends
There is no chance to take pictures at the hottest round hole position at the door
It is recommended to go up the mountain, there are a large number of persimmon trees on the top of the mountain
There are also round hole positions of the same style
There are relatively fewer tourists than at the entrance
You can still take a lot of big shots with telephoto
By the way, share a few of my favorite places to take portraits⬇️
☕️The two persimmon trees under the good persimmon coffee
🧡Persimmon garden round frame and square frame
🍃Mountain top tea garden➕persimmon tree with the same frame background
🚶♀️Walking along the road, you can always find a good position‼ ️
📷This is the first time we took a picture of a persimmon
I bought a 🧺 small bamboo basket temporarily the day before
Then bring a bunch of 🌼 small daisy props that have been used many times before
Buy a bunch of 🧡 persimmons on the spot and put them in the bamboo basket
The shooting effect is quite good
I have been praised all the way

Hello, I'm
a mom of two who loves taking photos and going for walks with my kids
[Xinchang] is really a hidden gem
A two-day, one-night family trip guide
This time, I mainly want to introduce the beautiful scenery of Xiayanbei Village in Xinchang. It's really comfortable and a great place to take the kids on vacation!!
Xiayanbei Village is known as a "dreamy village on the ridge" and is perfect for self-driving, cycling, and hiking vacations
Surrounded by clouds and mountains, there are also large terraced fields that look like a paradise
There are many coffee shops and homestays in the village, as well as areas suitable for camping
If the weather is good, you can even see the starry sky at night
If you're bringing younger kids, you can stay overnight in the village and go camping in the clouds, overlooking the opposite Chuanyan Nineteen Peaks. If your kids are older, you can go hiking together
Xinchang is known as the "Little Guilin of Zhejiang" and the scenery is really not to be missed. There are many family-friendly hiking routes
Recommended route for families with kids:
Xiayanbei Village - Chongyang Palace, about 3 km one way, 2 hours, all steps, family-friendly, with a beautiful viewing platform
Choose a weekend to stay overnight in a homestay in the village
Get up early the next day to see the sea of clouds and go on a family hike. Enjoy being close to nature with your kids
