The warmth of human life, who could not love it—Furong Ancient Village in Wenzhou, Zhejiang

Furong Ancient Village In Zhejiang, it is quite common to see a stage for traditional opera facing the ancestral hall, as performing opera is part of the ritual ceremonies. The hall is filled with elderly people with grey hair, listening intently to the opera. This stage has probably been echoing with the sounds of drums and gongs, performing tales of joy and sorrow for thousands of years... On one side is the solitary ancient town deep in the mountains, on the other, a family sits leisurely, with lights that feel close to home. One side features an ancestral hall with a Chinese horror style, the other is brimming with the steaming vitality of human life. ●Transportation Tips: A 3-hour drive from Hangzhou, and a 1-hour drive from Wenzhou There aren't many tourists even during holidays, far from the crowded hustle and bustle! Located within the Nanxi River ancient town cluster, there are many unpopular ancient towns nearby, which are inexpensive and perfect for a light vacation. The continuous mountain range is also suitable for self-driving, hiking, and cycling! ●Attraction Tips: 1. The over 1000-year-old Furong Village is the most historic ancient town along the winding mountains of the Nanxi River. The quietly flowing stream is peaceful and healing, worth a visit! The notices posted on the stone walls at the entrance of the village record the names, dates, and universities of students who have been admitted to key universities over the years, written with a brush, stroke by stroke, in this era of declining clan culture. For us so-called 'city dwellers,' everything about the ancient town is both strange and familiar. These 'fresh' 'ancient' experiences can always bring vivid emotions, And these touching moments might just be why we love ancient towns. 2. Nearby attractions to share: Da Ruo Rock, Daitou Ancient Village, Yubei Village 3. Ticket information: You can bypass the main entrance by navigating to the village and taking a small path next to it, but then you won't be able to enter the ancestral hall where tickets are checked. The ticket for Furong Ancient Village is 20 yuan, but you can also enter through the side path~ ●Photography Tips: The common equipment is the Sony A7M4 and Tamron 28-200, which is a very portable combination among full-frame cameras, suitable for girls traveling! The lens's focal range is also quite broad, great for beginners to experience different focal lengths! After all, I don't use features like large aperture or ultra-wide angle much, so it doesn't seem necessary to buy one specifically. If you want to take photos, you can rent a camera first, which saves money and gets you photos, and also lets you feel if the equipment suits you. A few tens of yuan for a day is quite a sweet deal~ Sometimes the scenes you encounter on a journey can be more impressive than the scenery itself...
