Self-driving tour of Chenjiapu Pioneer Bookstore in Songyang, Lishui

The Chenjiapu Pioneer Bookstore in Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province is located on a high mountain deep in the old forest. This building complex with a strong Chinese traditional cultural style has a large collection of classic books. You can taste the books in the antique style. Mystery is indeed a good travel destination. Here is a detailed travel guide for you.

This place is called Chenjiapu, which is a place in Songyang County, Lishui.

On a mountain with an altitude of 800 meters, there are no buses or buses that go up directly. Take a private car or take a taxi. Because the road up the mountain is very bumpy, the taxi fare is usually about 100 yuan.

The entire village is an ancient village, and there are only a few families who still live at home. Most of them are left-behind elderly people. The location of the bookstore in such a village is quite special. In summer, you can order a cold drink, sit on a chair and stay quietly for the whole day. The air quality is also very good, with clouds and mist lingering, making it a hot oxygen bar.

Overview: The bookstore is about a 20-minute drive from Songyang County. It is basically a high road surrounded by mountains. Pay attention to driving safety. The temperature on the mountain is about 5 degrees lower than in the county town, so it is also a summer resort. The layout of the bookstore is very interesting, with two floors and a large collection of books. Rustic elements are incorporated into the décor. There are hemp ropes, straw mats, rattan chairs, etc. In addition to reading books, it is also a good place to take photos.

This place is the focus of my introduction. Chenjiapu Pioneer Bookstore was rated as the most beautiful bookstore in China in 2018. Speaking of Pioneer Bookstore, everyone should first think of Pioneer Bookstore in Nanjing, and this one It is opened in the mountains, and very few people know about it. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, reading your favorite book in the quiet mountains is also a new experience in life.

In a corner of a bookstore, the beautiful scenery does not lie in how prosperous it is. Sometimes the most beautiful scenery may be something very inconspicuous. Regarding scenery, I think you see it from different angles. The things inside will be different. Beauty is multifaceted. Photos are just one of the ways to express beauty. The key lies in where you stand and what you look at.

The taste is great

The only restaurant on the mountain is opened by a pair of old ladies and grandfathers. They are very welcoming. It is right next to the bookstore. The pork in the braised pork is made from wild boar on the mountain. It is not greasy and the meat is crispy. It is really delicious. , and the mountain bamboo shoots are all grown by ourselves, the taste is natural, the green vegetables are very unique, they are sweet potato leaves, but I tasted the taste of water spinach, which I can only describe as unique. PS (My friend and I ordered a bottle of Coke and a Gadoba, and the total including meals was only 67 yuan, which is super cheap)

Starry Sky Galaxy

Located in Chen's House Shop, I like the starry sky, so I finally looked forward to the night. The weather was clear and there were few clouds, which was very suitable for shooting the starry sky. (There is only one B&B in this place, and the price is 1,500 yuan a night, so I left a driver with me when I came up. Phone number, the driver will pick you up in the evening)

I used a camera to shoot the starry sky. I used a Canon 5D4 camera, paired with a Sigma 20mmF1.4 lens, and the setting parameters were 30″F1.4

iso100, and a tripod stand

Because the street lights up the mountain were very bright, I took the above photos in many dark corners. When my friend and I saw the camera. The excitement and sense of accomplishment when photographing such a beautiful starry sky is self-evident.

Because it is very close to Lishui, we only spent 489 yuan on this trip for two days. , of which the toll to the mountain alone is 200 yuan, and the accommodation fee is shared equally with my friend. I stayed at the Tianyuan Mingdu Hotel in Songyang and booked 328 yuan a night. This price is absolutely reasonable, because the hotel room is not only very clean, but also very comfortable. It's big, well-equipped, and in an excellent location. You can see the scenery of Songyang city and it's also very close to the ancient city of Songyang. Friends who like it can go there.
