New internet celebrity land, Dingzhai Longliba

This year, the scale like dam suddenly became popular on the internet. This is a type of water conservancy project in the township, which stores water during the dry season and releases water during the flood season. When the weather is good, you can feel the charm of the dam~
"The tinkling sound of flowing water speaks of the laziness of autumn, and the sunlight spreads on the lake surface, sparking waves of sparkling light."
The Dingzhai Dragon Scale Dam in Shangyu is a great place to play in the gentle mountains and rivers. Walking on it will make you feel relaxed and appreciate the beautiful scenery with distinct levels in the mountains.

Both ends of Longlian Dam are high, with trees in the foreground near the cultural and sports park, which can capture a landscape painting.

Step up the dam and take some cheerful photos of your trip together. Shooting while walking and playing, the angle close to the water can capture the joy of swimming with people and water~

The most stunning angle is definitely given by aerial photography!
It is recommended to include aerial photography, as the overall three-dimensional effect of mountains and rivers comes out. Especially when shooting vertically downwards, the Longscale Dam creates a beautiful sense of lines. I really like this feeling~

If possible, come to Longscale Dam. It is recommended to visit on a sunny day. The beautiful scenery here is really enjoyable. In summer, you can bring water equipment, the water is clear and comfortable. You can bring some props to take photos, don't be empty handed~
However, if encountering continuous rain, the water in Longscale Dam may be relatively large. Pay attention to safety and do not blindly enter the water!

A rural stroll of literature and art, with white horses shining in the spring sunshine

In the past, Shaoxing was a place of celebrities and poetry in my heart. This time, I came to Shangyu and didn't expect that even the hometown of celebrities is so artistic. I really like the feeling of relaxing myself~
This time I came to this place called "White Horse Chunhui". The name is good literature and art, but in fact, there are many famous people's former residences here, which record the local people's academic journey. The environment here is beautiful, with outstanding talents and earth spirits.
Do you still remember the train station where Zhu Ziqing wrote "Back"? It's just here, which can be considered a literary pilgrimage~

From where you enter Chunhui Middle School, you can see the Xiangshan Trail, simple wooden pavilions and signs, full of artistic temperament. Although the mountains here are not high, they are easy to walk and perfect for exercising. Up to the top of the mountain, take a look at the scenery of the entire white horse and spring sunshine. The rice fields in the distance have turned yellow this season, which is really beautiful.

One of the most important check-in points for Baima Chunhui is Chunhui Middle School. However, the monument at the site is currently in school, and it is not available during regular classes. We can only observe it from a distance.

Starting from here, it is also a way to appreciate the former residences and old houses of various celebrities, such as Chunshe, the first floor by the mountain, Wanqing Mountain House, Xiaoyangliu House (former residence of Feng Zikai), and Zhu Ziqing's former residence

"Chunshe" was built in 1922 as a memorial hall for Chen Chunlan, the principal of Chunhui Middle School who generously donated money to establish it. It is dedicated to the spirit of Mr. Chen throughout the year, allowing Chunhui teachers and students to "enjoy the cool breeze and not forget to plant trees", grateful and inspiring.

The first floor by the mountain was built in 1922 as a member club of the Spring Society. The first principal of Chunhui Middle School, Jing Hengyi, lived here before the completion of his private residence "Changsong Mountain House" in 1928. It is now the exhibition room for Mr. Jing Hengyi's life story.

Walking along the side of Baima Lake, one will discover the existence of many hundred year old trees, and time will also slow down.

Xiaoyangliuwu is the former residence of Feng Zikai, a famous modern cartoonist. The former residence still retains its past furnishings, and there is also an exhibition of Feng Zikai's comics.

The Little Willow House was built in 1923 and is a dormitory for Chunhui teachers. It is named after Mr. Feng Zikai who planted willow trees in the corner of the house when he was teaching Chunhui. The structure is unique, compact and elegant.

The comic exhibition is a classic work of Mr. Feng Zikai and a feast of art.

The last building is the former residence of Zhu Ziqing. The autumn scenery here has already taken shape, with beautiful mountains and rivers. Indeed, literati love such a place.

The former residence of Zhu Ziqing mainly features past decorations and introductions to Zhu Ziqing's life, and one can also feel that this place is accompanied by Zhu Ziqing's life journey.

After appreciating your former residence, don't turn back and walk. Continue along Baima Lake, pass through the lotus pond, and you will see a train station. This is Yiting Station, which used to be the busiest place in the town.

This is the place where Zhu Ziqing's "Back" takes place, and the trains on the opposite track are still busy. After being arranged, this train station becomes a campsite with a train caf é. The environment is good, and it is both artistic and easy to take photos. If you are tired of playing, it is a good choice to rest here~

The other door of Chunhui Middle School is at this end, where you can park on both sides and take a walk in Baima Chunhui. In addition to the points I recommend, friends with plenty of time can also go boating at Baima Lake, which is very comfortable~

Republic of China Treasure Photography Site, Xie Jin's Hometown

Shangyu is the hometown of renowned director Xie Jin, so Xietang Town in Shangyu is now the cultural area of Xie Jin's hometown. During this trip to visit the residences of celebrities, I found that this place is also a treasure trove suitable for photography~

Xie Jin's Hometown includes Xie Jin's former residence and Xingpian Chang, but the entire area is old houses. Strolling around, it feels like the Shangyu era. If you want to take photos of the Republic of China style qipao, it's really suitable~

"A person is like a kite, no matter how far they fly, there is also a string holding them down." This is a sentence that Xie Jin often said before his death. This is also his longing for his hometown.

The courtyard of the old house in Jiangnan Ancient Town is small and exquisite, with many rockeries and ponds.

The corridor is not long, with lanterns hanging, and the delicacy of Jiangnan is reflected in every detail of the house. Below the corridor is the inner courtyard of the house. Although the former residence is not large, it is really exquisite.

The study has a vintage bookshelf that exudes a strong sense of time, making it very easy to showcase; The table and chair area on one side of the bookshelf also exudes the grandeur of a wealthy family's study. I really like the color of pure wood.

Xie Jinxing Film Studio, where most of the scenes are inspired by Xie Jin's movies, featuring a Republican style and scenes such as old Shanghai bars, villas, and photo studios, creates a cinematic feel with just one shot.

The Xie Jin Film Art Museum is also very easy to shoot, mainly for visiting and understanding the brilliant life of director master Xie Jin. There are documentary objects, historical photos, film images, artistic settings, etc.

The 1923 Studio consists of six movie themed venues, including the Bailemen, Kung Fu Hall, Photosensitive Photography Hall, Dongshan Mist, Golden Powder Mansion, and Loutaihui. Modern style, opera creativity, and trendy fashion can all be felt here~

The semi outdoor space consists of the platform of Happy Town, the Li Sports Stadium of various sizes, and the Xietang Style Street. Many of the charm of the old Shanghai outdoor space can be captured here.

The movie factory takes us to explore and practice the filming and production techniques of movies, with commentary, experience, interaction, and entertainment, which is very interesting. It's so interesting that there's even someone here who teaches how to change faces!

Movies such as "One Step Away," "The Mouth of Heaven," and "The Story of Romantic Dying" are full of the atmosphere of old Shanghai, showcasing the style of a baccarat shop.

Taking inspiration from martial arts films such as "The Grandmaster", "Ye Wen", and "Ying", traditional culture, sports spirit, and film art are integrated, with light, shadow, ink, and curtain writing to create a traditional atmosphere of kung fu.

A photo studio rich in memories of the times. In the restored photography scene, we also took a set of photos full of the flavor of the times. Here, we also displayed various old Shanghai brand cameras, which was very impressive.

"Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge" is the source of the content, which perfectly reproduces the movie scene. There is a dressing room, reception hall, and red carpet check-in area, experiencing the modern and fashionable mansion space of old Shanghai.

The first color film of New China, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai," features a scene that is both Chinese and romantic, and full of theatrical elements.

Jiangnan style mansion, Tongxing Village

In Tongxing, Shangyu is a truly niche attraction, and until I arrived, I thought it was just a celebrity's former residence. But it was only when I passed by the golden wheat fields and saw the neat buildings that I understood the meaning of "big mansion".
Tongxingli Mansion is the former residence of Chen Chunlan, the founder of Chunhui Middle School. It is named Tongxingli in the peaceful village of Hengshan Xu, which is backed by mountains and faces water. It also means "brothers unite and prosper together.".

The grandeur of a large mansion can be felt from the exterior walls of the mansion, with bamboo planted at the entrance, which also has a very good meaning. With just a casual pat, it exudes the grandeur of the mansion.

Chen Chunlan is a legend from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China. From the small tricks of walking through villages and alleys in the countryside to the financial industrialists in Shanghai, the history of successful entrepreneurship and struggle is worth learning from.

The green tiled walls and wooden carved beams reflect the beauty of Chinese architecture in the details of large mansions, exquisite and beautiful. This brick carving is so lifelike that we are all amazed.

There are three rooms in Tongxing Village, with five rooms on each side. The house is really big, and even those who are not familiar with the road can easily get lost. Taking a photo in the courtyard feels like walking into a mansion in the Republic of China.

The rooms here are still arranged with various furniture and furnishings according to the appearance of life back then, allowing everyone to immerse themselves and experience the daily life after Chen Chunlan returned home.

In the second room is an exhibition of Chen Chunlan's lifelong development from Shangyu to Shanghai, telling stories of her struggles. During his youth, Chen Chunlan traveled to Wuhan, Shanghai, Shangyu and other places as an apprentice and "ran the streets" to learn the ways of doing business; Subsequently, he established warehouses and opened banks, eventually becoming a giant in the business world. In his later years, he returned to his hometown to develop industries, enrich the country and benefit the people, donate funds to promote education, and cultivate talents, praising the local people.

Finally, there is the kitchen and dining room, with a dining area for the host and family in the middle, and a dining area for the kitchen and servants on both sides.

Walking up two floors, there is the master's room, with top-quality wooden furniture and porcelain displayed. The daily life of the former master seems to be vividly remembered.

At sunset, the last gentle rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard, making people feel the warmth of the courtyard's past. Walking on the second floor, looking out from the wooden window, suddenly there was a childish interest~

Outside the courtyard is the joy of a bountiful harvest in the village, while beside the courtyard is a warm village. Such a feng shui treasure land is the key to outstanding people and a beautiful land, right~

Speed and passion, Shunkang Racing Park

If you also enjoy the feeling of speed and passion, then you must come to Shangyu Shunkang International Racing Park to have a good time. The karting track here is of international standard, with a total length of over 1200 meters and 19 bends, which is very exciting. Experiencing the feeling of sprinting in the wilderness is really fun~

Before the go kart experience, there is a coach here to guide you on the basic knowledge and various safety matters of go karting. Then, after changing clothes and selecting helmets, we set off~

This is truly a cool gaming experience. In addition to a strong sense of experience, even taking a photo is so cool, which envies my friends on my social circle~

The Racing Park is located in Shangyu Ding Mansion, adjacent to the beautiful and clear Guanxi River. Playing karting in such a beautiful natural environment is also a magical experience.

My hiking diary with Shanye, covering Zhishan

Late autumn is really the most beautiful season in Jiangnan. The sunshine is just right, the temperature is cool, and the colors in the mountains are colorful. Hiking is perfect for this kind of free and comfortable feeling. I really like it~
So last weekend, I took my dad to climb Mount Fuzhi. Mount Fuzhi is not very high, the road is relatively easy to walk, and the playability is relatively high. There are century old villages, thousand year terraced fields, and ten thousand year old stone waves, and those who enjoy challenging and stimulating can also find a sense of belonging in Stone Waves~

Driving up the winding road, the first stop is Dongcheng Ancient Village, a century old village in Fuzhi Mountain.

A century old ancient village in the mountains, shuttling through the paths of the ancient village on the stairs, feeling the smoke and fire of the ancient village. Most of the locals here are elderly indigenous people, and staying overnight is also a very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The ancient village has several floors up and down, with winding roads and alleys winding along the mountain, full of exploratory fun. Most of them are old buildings, but some have been slightly renovated into modern houses. The majority of elderly people are sun drying vegetables and making various dry goods!

There are also some exhibition halls in the village that showcase the daily livelihoods of villagers, such as oil extraction, weaving, rice planting, and intangible cultural heritage techniques, which also explain how the villagers who used to live in the mountains were self-sufficient.

Terraced fields are one of the landmarks of Fuzhi Mountain, which is very spectacular. The things planted in each season are different. It is recommended to leave enough time to walk into the terraced fields and experience the natural atmosphere, which is also easy to take pictures of.

Autumn is dyeing all the vegetation red, and the lush green terraced fields make us feel the happy and plain life of the villagers here, which is enviable.

The mountain road of Fuzhi Mountain has eighteen bends, which is very exciting to drive.

Starting from the terraced fields, we will have to venture in and discover the "Ten Thousand Year Stone Wave". The mountain roads here are very primitive and used by local people to climb mountains, but it is not difficult to walk, and people of all ages can try it.

The Wannian Stone Wave is a very long stone formation naturally formed by the Fuzhi Mountain. It is a glacier site and is very spectacular. If equipped with a drone, you can find several stone waves on the entire mountain slope.

In front of Shilang, people are really small, but climbing Shilang is a technically challenging mountain climbing task. Ordinary tourists can walk up the mountain on the small path next to Shilang, and the technical flow can experience the excitement of Shilang while paying attention to safety.

Every small intersection has the opportunity to approach Shilang and take photos, so don't worry about not having beautiful photos~

On the way down the mountain, I suddenly discovered a very beautiful autumn road and quickly came down to take photos. This is probably the surprise of the journey~

Searching for the Joy of Mountains and Waters, Chenxi

The car circled and undulated on the mountain road, once again diving into the green world. At the center of Chenxi is the Stone Shoot Mountain. The town is very quiet, and the stalagmites stand on the opposite hill of the town, which is very interesting.

The stalagmite mountain, shaped like a stalagmite, rises from the ground and is formed by long-term erosion and erosion by wind and rain, which is also very vivid. Shilan Mountain is located on the bank of Guanxi Creek, and there are hiking trails on both sides of Guanxi Creek.

The trail on one side is a mountain wilderness fun, while the one we are walking on is a local park with camping and barbecue campsites, a boating dock, and a carp dam, which looks like a carp from the air. Of course, the function of Liyu Dam is also a water conservancy project~

And there are many ancient villages in Chenxi. We searched for a century old village in the mountains - Taiping Mountain Village. Although Taipingshan Village has part of the appearance of China's new countryside, it still has intact historic sites. The memorial archway of "One Man Under the Forest" at the entrance of the village is one of the relics, which is the memorial archway of Zheng Sanjun, the minister of household of the Ming Dynasty.

Taiping Mountain Village is indeed very beautiful, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, nestled by the mountains and waters, birds chirping and insects chirping, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Strolling around the village, one can also feel the happy life of the villagers today.

The Guofeng Tea House has also opened up in the village, believing that it will add modern Guofeng fun to the future new rural life.

The ancient trees in the village are now adorned with lanterns, adding vitality to the village.

Qingliang Hall is also an old house in Taiping Mountain Village, with a wooden structure inside that creaks when walking, but it is well preserved and has a historical flavor.

The ancient Fenghe Bridge and the thousand year old Chinese torreya tree depend on each other. On the side of the memorial archway, they witness the historical changes of the village and the mountains.

The Snowflake Pond hidden in the mountains is an unexpected attraction, a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The primitive mountain road steps, the mountain streams flowing down in the dense forest, forming pools and waterfalls all the way, all the fun of mountains and rivers lies here.

Snowflake Pond is a wild and interesting scenic spot in Chenxi, where you need to climb a mountain to find the small pleasures in the mountains. Various strange large stones are piled up in the entire mountain ditch, and the pond water flows through the cracks of the stones, forming various shaped waterfalls. Coupled with the recent heavy rainfall, the water volume is very abundant.

Sometimes it's a small waterfall, sometimes it's a big waterfall. As its name suggests, the waterfall is full of the joy of exploration and the vitality it brings. If it's summer, I can still play some water. I can only come back next time~

The most beautiful is the Zimu Pond, with exquisite waterfalls, but the water in the pond is really amazing. The color and transparency of the water are like jade, crystal clear.

There are many bamboo pavilions in the mountains for rest.

There are so many waterfalls scattered among the mountains and forests, full of exploration fun. For those who enjoy hiking and playing in the water, you can leave enough time to play in the Snow Lake. Remember to bring small props for wading!

Take the mountain and lake as the scenery, let's take a camping trip, Zaoli Lake

It has to be said that the mountain and water environment in Shangyu is also amazing, with grand scenery everywhere. You can enjoy a leisurely weekend time between the mountains and waters. We arrived at Zaoli Lake at this stop.
Surrounded by mountains and winding roads, Zaoli Lake is perfect for cycling and camping.

The most famous attraction of Zaoli Lake is the Seventeen Arch Bridge, which is full of elegant Chinese style. There is a camping base nearby, and if you want to come camping, you can go directly to the Seventeen Arch Bridge.
There is also a boat dock where you can take a boat trip to the lake, and there are many projects to experience~

My favorite part is still the bend of the lakeside road. Here, I have all the scenery, and the lake breeze blows over me. I warmly embrace the sunshine and feel the joy of nature~

The facilities in the lake area are very complete, making it a great place to stroll and play, so camping here is also very reassuring~

We didn't squeeze into the camping base, just casually found a lawn by the lake and took out the fruits and snacks we had already prepared. Camping in autumn, the temperature is suitable and too comfortable~Happy every minute and every second.

Transportation

The self driving journey from Shanghai to Shangyu takes 2.5-3.5 hours, depending on the distance to the destination. The nearest is Shangyu City, and the farthest are Fuzhi Mountain and Chenxi Scenic Area.
If you feel that the journey is long, you can also take the high-speed train to Shaoxing East Station, and then rent a car for self driving. The journey is also within one hour.
Shangyu Road is very easy to drive and parking is also very convenient~

[Hotel]

There are many types of hotels to choose from in Shangyu, and you can choose according to your own itinerary. The prices are relatively affordable. Our main attractions are concentrated in the east of Shangyu, so we chose the Cao'e River Hotel in the east of the city for easy entry and exit~
