Li Bai didn't lie to me! My favorite small town in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai this year!|||

|||. Unveiling the hidden paradise of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai: Tonglu, the reappearance of the fairyland described by Li Bai! 🌿Tonglu, a secret place designated by National Geographic magazine as a global travel destination, has been a favorite of literati and poets since ancient times. Li Bai, Meng Haoran, and Fan Zhongyan were all captivated by it. This place is the true portrayal of 'The Qiantang River ends at Tonglu, the water is green and the mountains are blue, and the painting is not as good.' 📸This year, I was fortunate enough to step into this small town that has been gently treated by time. It lived up to expectations and became the shining pearl of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions in my heart. Tonglu, in its unique way, interprets the charm of 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains,' making people sigh that such a scene should only exist in heaven and is rarely found on earth. 🌿Following the winding Ma Ling Ancient Path, I delved into the embrace of Tonglu. The Fuchun River flows leisurely, and the ancient villages are scattered, like a flowing painting, making people forget the hustle and bustle and become intoxicated. Here, I found a 25°C summer, where coolness and tranquility coexist, making it an ideal place for urbanites to escape the heat. 🚗Travel Tips: Driving from Nanjing takes only about 3.5 hours to reach this paradise. 🔻Recommended Travel Route: Ma Ling Ancient Path → Maoping Village → Shishe Village → Yan Ziling Fishing Platform Ma Ling Ancient Path: A 12-kilometer hiking paradise, shaded by green bamboo and accompanied by babbling streams. It's an excellent choice for getting close to nature and relaxing. If time is limited, you can choose the section from Maoping Village to Shishe Village, about 3.5 kilometers, and still experience the charm of the ancient path. Shishe Village: My favorite! Surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on three sides, the clear stream is perfect for wading and playing. Here, time seems to stand still, with only the sounds of water, wind, and our laughter. Maoping Village: An ancient village with over 900 years of history, where the white walls and black tiles reveal the traces of time. The village not only has ancient buildings but also hides the aroma of coffee and food, allowing people to taste history. Yan Ziling Fishing Platform: Famous for Fan Zhongyan's 'The mountains are high and the water is long,' it has a unique flavor when accessed by boat. The ticket and boat fare are only 125 yuan, allowing you to visit the stele forest, the 'Mountains are high and the water is long' archway, and the Yan Ziling Shrine, and feel the noble character of the ancients. 🌿Tonglu, a place suitable for savoring slowly. Whether you are a hurried visitor on a day trip or a traveler who chooses to stay overnight, you can find your own peace and beauty here. It is an excellent choice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a place for the soul, and it is a treasure worth visiting multiple times.
