Jiangnan's last secret realm recommended by National Geographic, I regret coming late.

It is said online that this is the "last secret realm of Jiangnan" recommended by National Geographic Magazine, but it doesn't say that it is so difficult to reach! Check in [Songyang County, Lishui, Yangjiatang and Songzhuang Village, which are very popular online. I want to give an objective evaluation of the two places. Reasons not recommended: You have to queue up to take photos. Most people go there mainly for taking photos, but if you don't have a good photographer friend, you might be disappointed. 2 You have to drive on a mountain road for dozens of kilometers, with winding roads. It takes 1-2 hours to drive on the mountain road, which is quite difficult for self-driving. Reasons recommended: 1 Retains the traditional Jiangnan residential architectural style, which is very photogenic. 2 Complete tourist facilities, with cafes, homestays, and farmhouses. It is suitable for friends who have nothing to do on weekends. Transportation: Eighteen bends on the mountain road!! Experienced drivers can go, but novices should be cautious! Those who get carsick should bring their own motion sickness medicine. Accommodation: There are homestays in the village, ranging from hundreds to thousands. Personally, I think you can stay in Songyang County, which is not expensive and very convenient. Songyang County is not far from Yangjiatang. Dining: There are farmhouses and noodle restaurants in the village, with noodles costing more than 20 yuan a bowl. There are coffee and cold drinks. Coffee costs 20-30 yuan a cup, and other drinks cost from a few yuan to dozens of yuan. Special products include peach gum, dried peaches, etc. Dried peaches cost 15 yuan a box. Recommended route: Songzhuang Village: Rated as the "last secret realm of Jiangnan" by National Geographic, it is too difficult to get there! There is no stone arch bridge that is the main location!!! But you have to drive 2 hours to get there!!! Yangjiatang Village: Known as the "Golden Potala Palace", it is also the filming location of the TV series "Two People's Little Forest". 1 There is a 500-year-old camphor tree couple at the entrance of the village, which is a must-visit and photogenic spot. You can also take photos overlooking the entire village here. 2 Follow the signs to a cafe at the head of the village, which is also very photogenic. You can see the whole village from the opposite side. There is also a primary school next to it, which is now a cultural and creative shop. It is very photogenic to take photos from the inside out. Songyang Old Street: After going down the mountain from Yangjiatang, it is recommended to visit Songyang Old Street, an ancient street from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are residents living on the street, and there are many snacks on the street to fill your stomach. Bonus: Avoid the private kitchen opposite the old street. A family of four ate 290 yuan, but they asked us for 490 yuan. Then they said they had miscalculated??? They can miscalculate the bill in a restaurant all day long?!
