Songyang Ancient Village: A Poetic Retreat in the Quiet Breeze

Songyang Ancient Village: A Poetic Retreat in the Quiet Breeze Weekend is here!! In the fast-paced urban life, we often yearn for a place to slow down and take a deep breath. Today, I’ll take you to Songzhuang Village in Lishui’s Songyang County—a 600-year-old ancient village hailed by National Geographic as "the last hidden gem of Jiangnan," welcoming every traveler in search of tranquility. **Transportation** Drive there yourself; parking is available at the village entrance. Though the mountain roads are winding, every step feels like a journey through time. If you prefer not to drive, take a high-speed train to Lishui Station and then transfer by taxi or private car. **Nearby Attractions** - **Songzhuang Village**: Ancient bridges, flowing water, and earthen walls—every step is a picturesque scene. - **Yangjiatang Village**: A rustic village that captivates visitors. - **Chenjiapeng Village**: A literary haven with the avant-garde Pioneer Bookstore, where the aroma of coffee blends with the scent of books. - **Youtian Village**: A serene village perfect for leisurely strolls. **Accommodation** Every time I visit, I choose Taoye Homestay. Designed by Professor Lü Xiaohui, the architect behind Naked Castle, it seamlessly blends modern comfort with the village’s rustic charm. The reception is by the stream, with a stone bridge right outside the door, while guest rooms are scattered throughout the village, making you feel like a local. **Reading Nook** The second-floor reading nook is my favorite spot—ideal for reading, sipping coffee, and enjoying a peaceful afternoon. Or simply wander the village and soak in its timeless atmosphere. **Details** In the morning, sunlight filters through the curtains, and you’ll find breakfast thoughtfully prepared, complete with a "good morning" note written on a leaf—such small touches warm the heart. **Travel Tips** - Weekdays are best to avoid crowds; avoid driving at night. - Mountain areas have more insects, so bring repellent. - The village has many steps and slopes; wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. - Most structures are wooden—be cautious with fire. **Taoye Homestay** 📍 Songzhuang Village, Sandu Township, Songyang County, Lishui City
