Ancient towns around Lin 'an

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Lin 'an. It was once the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty and the hometown of Qian Liu, King of Wu Yue. Here Tiaoxi is beautiful and the mountains and rivers are comfortable, and it is known as the natural oxygen bar. Here, there are still many beautiful ancient villages, such as Qiaogu Town, Hengling Village and Grand Canyon Village.

He Qiao ancient town

Millennium He Qiao Ancient Town is located in the south of Lin 'an City, named after many rivers and bridges.

1200 years ago, during the "Anshi Rebellion" of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a family named Wang set out from Anhui and moved to Changhua with all ages. At this point, they have been exhausted because of the running all the way. At the end of the road, I found this place surrounded by mountains, rich in soil and water, beautiful in mountains and rivers, and a peaceful scene, so I decided to thrive here. In this way, a war inadvertently opened the prelude to He Qiao's thousand-year history.

The Liuxi River, on which the ancient town of He Qiao depends, is an extension of the ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou road on the water, and He Qiao once prospered for the second time in history. Relying on the estuary of Sanjiang River, it thrives on the river and commerce, and has the reputation of "little shanghai" and "Qinhuai in the west of Zhejiang". China immigrated to He Qiao, an ancient town, and got together because of business, but left because of business. Since ancient times, it has been the gathering place of "committee of 100, Baijiadian and Craftsman's Club". Although there are not many famous families, they have left rich folk customs and farmers' habits, which have become a rich treasure of Lin 'an's material and cultural heritage. Including the Western Zhejiang Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, He Qiao Nongbo Folk Museum, Lou Qing Cultural Center and other cultural venues, the Fengyunhe Bridge is the icing on the cake.

Hengling town

Located at the southernmost tip of Jinnan Street in Lin 'an City, it faces Banqiao in the east, Fuyang in the south and Lingxi in the west. It is a combination of Zhou Jia, Shenjia Village and Lingxi Village. The whole village is located on the low ridge between Tianmu Mountain, and the village lives at an altitude of 380 meters. This is a typical mountain village, which is called "the village on the top of the cloud". The village has thousands of acres of bamboo forests and rich artistic conception, so it has the reputation of "Genting Hengling, Zhuhai people".

Hengling Village was formed before the Yuan Dynasty, and there was a saying in ancient times that "there are eighteen bends in the mountain road and eighteen villages in Hengling". According to Lin's Genealogy, "When Shen Guansan and Shen Maojiu moved from Qingxian County to Hengling in the early Yuan Dynasty, there were many houses in Hengling, and Shen Shi needed to find another place to build houses."

Most of the existing buildings in the village are Hui-style buildings in Qing Dynasty, mainly with traditional mud-wood structure and a small amount of brick-wood structure. Stone arches, horse head walls, wooden cloisters, masonry walls and rammed windows have various architectural styles. Wooden ornaments are mostly made of fragrant wood or mahogany, with hard texture and no mosquitoes. The carving techniques are diverse and exquisite, and the arches, brick carvings and murals are lifelike. Its rich forms of expression provide artistic reference for studying the architectural technology of ancient craftsmen.

Hengling Village now has the reputation of the first village with slow life in the south of the Yangtze River. It's good to visit here when you have time.

Daxiagu village

The unique geographical location of the Grand Canyon Village makes the mountains and rivers in the village green all year round, and the streams in front of it are gurgling. The four seasons in the village have different flavors. There are mountains, flowers and grass in spring, cool streams in summer, red leaves and wild fruits in autumn and Chen Xue in winter.

After eating too much fish and meat during the Spring Festival, you can also come here to taste the special copper pot rice. From every process such as chopping wood, washing rice, making a fire and starting the pot, you can feel the life breath of rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea with the villagers and truly experience the quiet taste of the countryside.
