Superb and niche recommendation, come to Songyang for an artistic journey

Every summer, Lishui becomes a popular destination for outings, and Songyang is known as the last hidden gem of Jiangnan, with its beautiful mountainous landscapes making it a great place to escape the summer heat. Songyang has many famous attractions, and as a homestay host who has lived here for many years, I have summarized the following four must-visit spots that are fun and won't disappoint.

Guyan Huaxiang is divided into two parts: 'Guyan' and 'Huaxiang', separated by the mother river of Lishui, requiring a boat ride to travel between them. It is recommended to explore Guyan in depth. Whether it is the morning glow, sunset, or the clear sky after the rain, the Oujiang River with a few fishing boats creates a poetic ink painting scene of Jiangnan, which can deeply immerse one's soul. Huaxiang - Huaxiang is an old street with many traditional craft shops, but it has a strong commercial atmosphere. Restaurants and souvenir shops are located here. Although it has the beauty of ancient charm, it is not as enchanting as Guyan.

Damushan Cycling Tea Garden

Damushan Cycling Tea Garden is the largest cycling tea garden in China and an excellent leisure sports tourism base in Zhejiang Province. The scenic area covers more than 80,000 mu of tea gardens, with a core area of more than 3,000 mu. The area is characterized by rolling hills, numerous reservoirs, fragrant tea, and pleasant scenery, with cycling paths running through it. The scenic area currently has an 8.3-kilometer leisure fitness cycling loop and a 7-kilometer professional cycling track.
Little Potala Palace - Yangjiatang Village. Yangjiatang Village is referred to as the last secret place in Jiangnan by China Geographic Magazine. It has a history of 350 years, with buildings made of rammed earth, horse-head walls, and brick-tile houses. The roads are mud and stone paths, making it a truly original ecological village. You must visit in the evening when the setting sun bathes the entire village in dazzling golden light. Nearby, there are ancient camphor trees with a history of 500 years, and in the distance, you can see smoke rising from the chimneys. Standing at the entrance of the village and looking down, it is very healing.

Xikeng Village (Heart-shaped Village)

Xikeng Village is a favorite spot for photographers and is often referred to as the most beautiful small mountain village in China by many photographers! When you take photos from the photography site, the village forms a heart shape, which is a wonderful coincidence. June to July is the season of rolling sea clouds, and you can see stunning sea clouds here. Yun Duan Mi Jing is located within Xikeng Village and has a huge viewing terrace where you can almost touch the clouds!
