Zhejiang’s Small Yellow Mountain

If you want to visit the wonders of Mount Huangshan, but are worried about too many people on Mount Huangshan, I recommend you go to Mount Daming in Lin’an, Zhejiang. The mountain colors are like splashed ink landscapes in Chinese paintings, strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, and peak forests are endless, known as “Zhejiang’s Small Yellow Mountain”, those who have been there say it’s worth a look.

6、Chenshan, Shangyu

A forgotten Shangri-La

Chenshan is located 35 kilometers south of Shangyu City, Zhejiang Province. Due to its inconvenient transportation, it is still not well-known. Hundred-year-old camphor trees and ginkgoes, layers of terraces, scattered farmhouses, small streams by the mountain road are refreshing.

Besides these natural wonders, the unique French manor Guerouel village, nestled in the mountains of Chenshan, is also worth looking forward to. During this rare vacation, take the whole family away from the crowds and spend a French holiday here.

7、Fish Mountain Island, Xiangshan

Fish Mountain is an archipelago, 47.5 kilometers from the nearest point to the mainland, Shipu Town, with two main islands, north and south.

The vibrant wildflowers, the azure sea, the rugged cliffs, make up the idyllic beauty of Fish Mountain Island.

On a leisurely holiday, come here to watch the sunrise and sunset, admire the Milky Way, fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and have a beautiful dream, it’s extremely romantic.

8、Shangxi Village, Thousand Island Lake

Shangxi Village in western Zhejiang, a vast waterfall group, a majestic stone dragon, the grand village of Jiangnan have built its picturesque and stunning scenery. Every autumn, the red leaves in the mountains dot the white walls and black tiles, like a landscape painting of a pastoral poem.

9、Baisanzhu, Qingyuan, Lishui

The most lung-cleansing forest bath

Baisanzhu in Qingyuan, mountains towering, peaks and ridges winding.

If you miss the fresh air of the past, come to Baisanzhu and experience the most fresh and pure “forest bath”.

Find a place of green mountains and clear waters, feel the leisurely “picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence” ease, watch the sunrise, the dawn is dawning…

10、Qin Chuan Village, Thousand Island Lake

Qin Chuan Village is located at the source of Thousand Island Lake, a typical Huizhou-style ancient village. Five ancient camphor trees near the entrance of the village, nearly a thousand years old, have witnessed the traces of history and time left here. More than 200 Ming and Qing Dynasty ancient houses are arranged in a staggered fashion on both sides of the Qin Creek, sitting at home, lying in bed, you can listen to the gurgling sound of the water. This quiet time is forever, green leaves and fallen flowers, reflecting the colorful colors of the creek.
