Hidden deep in the mountains of Xinchang, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, lies a quaint, primitive and picturesque mountain village. It can be said that the scenery is around the village, and the village is in the middle of the scenery. This is Lijiaxi Village, where the first of the Salt Gang’s Eighteen Crossings is located. Lijiaxi Village is located in the northern part of Xiaojiang Town, adjacent to Qiaoying Reservoir in the east. The clear Jugen River runs beside the village, forming the unique topography of "eight mountains, one water and one field" in this ancient mountain village. Water brings life. The beauty of Lijiaxi Village lies in its clear stream. The stream in front of the village is relatively wide, and with two stone dams, the mountain village, which lives by the water, presents a beautiful artistic conception like Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", a vivid landscape painting. When I first entered the village, I mistakenly thought that the two stone dams with stepping bridges were the first and second crossings of the Salt Gang's Eighteen Crossings. Walking downstream all the way to Shuidui Ferry, I realized that the stone dam in front of the village was not qualified to join the ranks of the Eighteen Ferry crossings. I found that people in Xinchang may not like to decorate the village, but they particularly like to beautify the stream. Lijiaxi Village is particularly outstanding in this regard. I heard that the village is bustling with traffic every weekend. You can drive all the way to the parking lot next to the First Ferry Terminal. However, I still recommend starting your tour from the Longxi Bridge at the entrance of the village, otherwise you will miss some of the beautiful scenery of Lijiaxi Village. There are several farmhouse restaurants in the village, as well as a dedicated barbecue area. There are also several quaint and beautiful homestays in the village, built on the embankment on one side of Jugen Creek, with intoxicating scenery everywhere. Among them is one called the Salt Gang Inn, which is full of martial arts style. "Watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, and the clouds roll and unfold in the sky." After a busy day at work, you can take a break in the picturesque Lijiaxi Village. 📍Detailed address: Lijiaxi Village, Xiaojiang Town, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province [MapleLeaf] Ticket price: Free

The Salt Gang's Eighteen Crossings is located in Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. This was a secret passage in the mountains secretly dug by private salt dealers in the old days to avoid investigation by the government. Now it has become a popular place for water play and a check-in spot for internet celebrities. The Yanbang Eighteen Ferry is about 6 kilometers long and is named after the 18 anchor bridges on the Jugen River. Dingbu Bridge starts from Lijiaxi Village and ends at Chiyan Village. The stream between the two villages is winding, with mountains on both sides. Dingbu Bridge is made of local materials, mostly irregular rocks, some of which are straight, some slightly curved, and some are S-shaped. The clear stream water flows through the cracks between the stones, creating a fresh picture with beautiful artistic conception. The first ferry is called Shuidui Ferry, located on the west side of Lijiaxi Village. There are double rows of anchorage bridges and dams on the stream, as well as piers, water-friendly platforms, and viewing corridors beside the stream. The surrounding landscape is well maintained. After crossing the stream from Shuidui, you officially enter the Salt Gang Eighteen Crossings. 18 bridges connect the ancient paths along the stream into a complete hiking route. The ancient trails are all one-way, either on the left side or on the right side of the stream. Therefore, if you want to complete the entire journey, you need to cross 18 bridges. From the first crossing, the excitement continued and every step was taken in the scenery. The most popular ferry among tourists is the 17th ferry, Leigong Ferry. The stream here is wide, and the Dingbu Bridge paved with stone slabs meanders in the water like a ribbon dancing in the wind. There is a flood dam next to Dingbu Bridge. The stream flows over it, and when cars pass by, a layer of water splashes up, which is particularly picturesque. [MapleLeaf] There are three main ways to visit Yanbang Shibadu: [One] Start from Lijiaxi Village and walk from Shuidui Ferry to Hongyan Ferry, a round trip of 10 kilometers. [Two] Start from Chiyan Village and walk from Hongyan Ferry to Shuidui Ferry, a round trip of 10 kilometers. [Three] If you are intimidated by the 10 kilometers, you can first navigate to Chiyan Village, then drive along the stream from Shibadu to Shisandu, then stop and walk. [Pushpin]Some people may ask, can I drive the whole way? No, you can only walk between the first and thirteenth crossings. Some people may also ask, can I take a taxi back to the starting point? Not very possible, as both villages are remote small mountain villages, 25 kilometers apart by winding mountain roads. 📍Detailed address: [One] Lijiaxi Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province (First Ferry) [Two] Chiyan Village, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province (18th Ferry) [MapleLeaf] Ticket price: Free ⏳Time reference: If you walk the whole way back and forth, it will take at least 3 hours

⛰️The Anshan Ancient Trail is gradually disappearing. One of its entrances, Xiaoquanxi Village, is currently being relocated. For your safety, we do not recommend entering the trail from Xiaoquanxi Village. You can start your hike from Jianguo Village or Anshan Village. Anshan Village is located at a medium altitude, while Jianguo Village is at a high altitude. Therefore, starting from Anshan Village offers a gentler slope and convenient parking and dining options. 🏡Mafanglanshan Homestay is located in Pingqiao Village, 5 km from Anshan Village. It has 7 rooms, named after "firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea." The rooms mainly feature tatami mats, making them suitable for families with children and young people. The courtyard is designed in Tang Dynasty style, and Tang-style bathrobes are provided in the rooms, perfect for photos.

Dali Silk Culture Industrial Park is a national 4A-level scenic spot located in Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, a beautiful mountain city known as the "Southeast Eyebrows". In addition to silk, the park's most attractive attractions include the century-old stone mills, the thousand-year-old mulberry forest, and the billion-year-old silicified wood. The stone mill is a testimony to the replacement of agricultural civilization by industrial civilization. There are more than 10,000 ancient stone mills from the Ming and Qing dynasties of various stone materials and sizes placed in the park. With so many ancient stone mills displayed in one place, how could there be no stories behind them? It turned out that in March 2011, Lin Ping, chairman of Dali Silk Company, went to Qingdao on a business trip and discovered this batch of ancient stone mills that were about to be shipped to Japan and South Korea. Lin Ping, who loves collecting, doesn't want to watch the ancient stone mill with a rich history disappear overseas. So they spent a huge amount of money, three million yuan, to intercept them and bring them to Xinchang. The company has also introduced more than 100 ancient mulberry trees from all over the country, with ages ranging from hundreds to thousands of years, and the oldest can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The two Mulberry King and Queen trees, which are over 1,600 years old, were transplanted from faraway Tibet. When the Yarlung Zangbo River Reservoir was being built, these two ancient mulberry trees would be submerged. After the company's top management learned the news, they traveled thousands of miles to transplant them to Xinchang, Zhejiang. Nowadays, although the rape flowers in the garden have turned golden yellow, the spring breeze in March still blows open the green buds of the ancient mulberry trees. Walking into the Dali Silk Culture Industrial Park, you can see petrified wood everywhere, big or small, standing or lying, gray or yellow. Their number is comparable to the ancient stone mills in the park. The billion-year-old silicified wood and the tall and weathered ancient mulberry trees form a time tunnel that reflects from ancient times. A 32-meter-long ancient mulberry tree fossil lies quietly in the middle of the trail in front of the gate. On both sides of the trail are tall ancient mulberry trees. This petrified wood was excavated from the Dali Silk Industrial Park on the day of the groundbreaking ceremony in 2002, and has now become the park's treasure. There are also production workshops, silk sales areas, training centers, cafes, billiard rooms, orchards, rapeseed fields, Shaoxing Textile Museum, etc. in the park, which can meet the needs of different tourists. 📍Detailed address: Dali Silk Culture Industrial Park, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province [1:00] Opening hours: 09:00-17:00 [MapleLeaf] Ticket price: Free ⏳Reference time: 1.5 hours

It's a pity that it's raining, otherwise it would be more beautiful [Cry]. This place is indeed a hiking paradise in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Let's take you to the "Han Feijiang" ancient trail in Xinchang, Shaoxing 📍Location: Shaoxing Xinchang - Hanfeijiang Ancient Road 🚄Transportation: High-speed rail direct to Shengzhou Xinchang Station, exit the station📍Locate Xiazhou Village, one-way distance is 33km, about💰70-80. Please note that you must book a car in advance when you come back❗️It is best to book a ride to save a lot of taxi money 🗺Route: Loop line ⭕ Xiazhou Village → Baiyankeng Village → Daotuoxiu → Waibaiyan Village → Xiazhou Village, the whole journey is 11 km and it takes about 4-5 hours 📝This route can be divided into two stages:👇 1️⃣Xiazhou Village → Baiyankeng Village: The roads here are almost flat, just keep walking along the river. During the journey, you need to cross the mountain river, walk on the creek ancient trail, pass the green tea garden, and meet farmers on the way. Then you can have a face-to-face battle with the local dogs. P9😳 2️⃣Baiyankeng Village → Daotuoxiu → Waibaiyan Village → Xiazhou Village: From Baiyan Village to Daotuoxiu, you will start to climb up the slope. Just walk slowly without shaking the slope [Tiptop]. There is a very spectacular waterfall hidden in the ravine under Daotuoxiu. It is super beautiful. Then you will start to climb a very long stone staircase all the way to the top of the mountain [Spoof] P11. If the weather is good, it will definitely be very beautiful. Unfortunately, it was raining and the sky was very dark. There was no scenery until we returned to Xiazhou Village. [Coke] Let me share my thoughts first: This route is not difficult, the scenery is particularly beautiful and the terrain changes a lot, but I feel that the scenery is slightly inferior to Anshan, but it is very interesting to walk ❗️Then try not to go on rainy days, there are a lot of rocks on the road and you can easily fall flat on your butt. Woohoo~ 🎒Finally, let’s talk about preparing items. 1. Download the map on the 2BuLu app first, otherwise it’s easy to go wrong 2. Power bank, trekking poles, water, snacks, etc. to replenish energy on the road at any time [Congratulate] There is also a place to eat rice cakes in Baiyankeng Village, but it seems to be open only on weekends, so I didn’t eat it [Helpless] 😘Okay~ That’s all for this hike sharing. If you like it, please read more of me. See you next time…

The An Lam Ninh Van Bay resort in Shaoxing, at CNY 3k a night, is truly... So comfortable! It's the same hotel featured on "Keep Running". After checking in at the lobby, a car will take you to your room. I booked the One-Bedroom River View Villa with a king-size bed. It was very comfortable, with a great ambiance and plenty of space. My favorite part was the balcony, directly facing the stream. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bathroom and shower room were also excellent, equipped with a safe, a resort bag, and more. The bathtub faces the sunlight, and the toiletries, by Guerlain, were comprehensive. It's just a pity there was no makeup remover (my friend and I both forgot to bring some, and online it said we could use body lotion and hand cream). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There's a small door near the café. Walk through it, and you'll find yourself in a popular village. I especially loved that path; there was no one around, and the air was so fresh. After a 200m climb, you can take a cable car up. Going for a walk as the sun sets is truly relaxing. The breeze makes you feel so free. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can order afternoon tea at the café for under CNY 500. It includes pastries and two coffees. The pastries include cakes, chocolates, salmon cakes, and more. They also let you make your own dessert, like making mooncakes. ⭐️⭐️ The restaurant is opposite the lobby. The food is average, priced at over CNY 1k for five dishes for two people. The ambiance is nice, and the staff is friendly. Breakfast is served from 8:00–10:30 am, with a good variety, but I didn't eat it. My friend said the taste was decent. ⭐️⭐️ You can request a ride before and after meals, but if your room isn't far, I recommend walking. Taking a stroll is truly relaxing! 😻

It's no exaggeration to say that after visiting once, it's like a seed was planted in my heart, constantly popping up and tempting me to go back. 🏞️Picturesque Scenery: An Idyllic Landscape The mountains of Xinchang possess a breathtaking beauty. The Chuan Yan Nineteen Peaks, linked together, rise abruptly from the earth like a folding screen or unsheathed swords🗡️. Clouds and mist linger among the peaks. Walking along the winding paths, you feel like you've stumbled into a mystical world, where you might encounter a sword-wielding hero at any moment. From the mountaintop, villages, fields, and streams stretch out before you. The landscape unfolds like a scroll of ink and wash painting, showcasing nature's bold yet delicate brushstrokes. Water is the soul of Xinchang. Wozhou Lake, clear as a mirror, reflects the green hills and trees along its banks. As boats glide across its surface, ripples break the emerald reflection. The gently flowing water nourishes the land and inspires countless poetic moments. Women washing clothes by the stream, children playing in the water, and fish occasionally leaping from the surface create a lively, idyllic scene, like a peaceful paradise. 🏯Ancient Charm: Echoes of a Thousand Years of History This small town has a rich history, and its ancient streets and alleys are its chronicles📜. Along Xinchang West Street, the blue flagstone road stretches beneath your feet, flanked by Ming and Qing dynasty buildings with upturned eaves and carved beams.

Weekend getaway to Shaoxing I stumbled upon a small village even more beautiful than Ma Hua Fishing Village in She County, Anhui. The mountains and fields are covered with blooming plum blossoms, a sea of red 🌸 and white. I was absolutely stunned. 📍Navigate to Shangwu Village 🧭. Plum blossom forests line the road along County Road 802. Xinchang, where I traveled this time, is a truly off-the-beaten-path destination. This little-known town on the Tang Poetry Road is now my go-to for weekend getaways 🏖️👋. It hides so many fun places. 🍁What to do❓ ❶Xinchang Dafo Temple: Recently featured in the TV series "Jiu Zhong Zi" 🔥, it has served as a filming location for many dramas. The Reclining Buddha at the Valley of Prajna and Shuanglin Caves makes you feel like you've stepped into Shanxi. Its reputation as the "Dunhuang of the State of Yue" is well-deserved. Wearing Hanfu here makes for great photos. ❷Chuan Yan Nineteen Peaks: Known as the "Little Guilin of Jiangnan", the peaks ⛰️ are steep and the rocks rugged. Scenes from "Swordsman" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" were filmed here. ❸Tianmu Mountain: The poet Li Bai once left behind an immortal masterpiece here. The ancient roads, bridges, and villages in the mountains all exude a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. ❹Banzhu Ancient Village, Zhang Dazong Ancestral Hall: Those who love ancient architecture can visit this village. It's a small village at the foot of Tianmu Mountain. There used to be a Tianmu Post Station. The Simahui Bridge at the entrance of the village is also a great photo spot 📷. It's a perfect place to play in the water in summer. ❺Zhenjun Hall: Located on the top of Wozhou Mountain, with a reservoir at its entrance. The wood carvings in this hall are exquisite. ❻Xiayanbei Village: A popular village located on a mountaintop. You can overlook Nineteen Peaks and the Hanfei River Canyon from the viewing platform. There are several popular cloud coffee shops in the village. It's a great place to photograph sunrises and sunsets. 🏨Where to eat and stay❓ I stayed at the newly opened, popular designer hotel, Antianman, in Xinchang for the weekend. The hotel is located at the foot of Nineteen Peaks. The rain and mist-shrouded Nineteen Peaks looked so ethereal. It felt like I was in Western Sichuan. It also has a huge open-air swimming pool. Imagine coming here in the summer to soak in the pool and watch the stars. It's incredibly relaxing. The rooms have underfloor heating, making them comfortable even in damp, rainy weather. The toiletries are all L'Occitane, and I love the scent. 👉Around the hotel ✅Jingling Old Street 🚗5 minutes. There's a covered bridge as old as the old street itself. ✅Meizhu Ancient Village 🚗10 minutes. A village full of local life. ✅Xiayanbei 🚗15 minutes. Great for a coffee break. ✅Nineteen Peaks 🚗5 minutes. Hiking 🚶‍♀️. Xinchang has so much delicious food 😋, it's a carb lover's paradise: taro dumplings, pan-fried soup dumplings, small Beijing buns, wheat cakes 🫓, etc.

On a rainy day, I went to Xinchang Big Buddha Temple with my friends to pray for blessings. As a "Buddhist aunt" who must check in every year I really want to say that this place is very effective 🙌 And the Zen atmosphere is stronger on rainy days It feels good to sit in the temple and listen to the rain quietly ✨Xinchang Big Buddha Temple has a history of more than 1,600 years.
