Take the rural bus for 6 RMB directly to ancient villages ✅ 📸 Must-Visit Spots with Exclusive Access 🍄 Yangjiatang Village: The "Golden Potala Palace" (stunning at dusk), check out the couple tree at the village entrance 🌳, and capture drone shots. 🍄 Chenjiapu Village: Cliffside Pioneer Bookstore 📚, visit the glass viewing platform for sea of clouds + hand-brewed coffee ☕. 🍄 Songyang Old Street: A living "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painting 🏮, photograph the blacksmith shop’s morning bustle (8 AM). 🍄 Damushan Tea Plantation: Cycle through Asia’s largest tea garden 🚴‍♀️, snap "Kikujiro’s Summer"-style photos at the tea pavilion. 💡 Photography Hacks: ➊ Bring a clear umbrella! Misty rains create dreamy scenes ☔️. ➋ Wear indigo-dyed dresses 👗 against the earthy yellow walls. 🏡 Accommodation: Stay in Ming-Qing Era Houses for 100+ RMB ✅ Flying Birds Homestay: Bookstore-themed · Stargazing terrace 🌌 (158 RMB), mention "Songyang Koi" for free postcards. ✅ Yunshang Pingtian: Artist-renovated rammed-earth house 🎨 (128 RMB), free Hanfu experience. ✅ Old Street Lodge: Window views of the blacksmith shop 🔥 (88 RMB), includes traditional brown sugar workshop voucher. 🍜 Foodie Heaven: Cry-worthy meals for 20 RMB/person 😭 🔥 Carb-Loaded Trio: ✔️ Baixian Noodle House: 🍜 Wine-fermented large intestine noodles, 15 RMB (100-year-old wood-fired stove!). ✔️ Xu’s Salt-Baked Chicken: 🐔 Paper-wrapped chicken leg, 25 RMB (savory and juicy, perfect with rice). ✔️ Old Street Fried Dough Sticks: 🥖 Freshly fried dough sticks + salty soy milk, 6 RMB (opens at 5 AM). 🍵 Hidden Dessert: ❣️ Peach gum red bean soup, 8 RMB (simmered by grannies in Ming-Qing courtyards). ⚠️ Local’s Blood-and-Tears Advice 📣 Mosquito Defense: → Buy local mugwort sachets (5 RMB each, better than Six God). 📣 Avoid Crowds: → Tour groups arrive after 10 AM on weekends, visit Thursday-Friday. 📣 Secret Perks 🧧: → Sunset photos at Shimenwei Covered Bridge (locals’ wedding hotspot). → Touch 100-year-old indentures at the Contract Museum (free but shady 🍃).
