Things to do in Jiande

The Daci Rock Scenic Area is nice. The Hanging Temple on the mountain is quite impressive and beautiful. Taking the cable car up is relatively easy. Usually, you take the cable car up and then walk down the mountain without going around in circles. If you take the cable car down, you have to walk back the way you came.

Two of the three caves require climbing many steps, both inside and outside the caves. The scenery is quite monotonous, making it more suitable for summer visits. Bring warm clothing for Qingfeng Cave as the temperature difference is significant and you might catch a cold! For seniors, taking a boat to see the first cave is a more relaxed option!

It was really worth going here! So many great activities and amazing views! Highly recommend

Take a boat from Yaowu Wharf on Qili Yangfan Island. The journey takes 3.5 hours, offering views of a real-life version of the Fuchun Mountain Dwelling painting. There are two stops: a 2-hour stop at Hulu Gorge to see the waterfall cascading down from Hulukou.

It's perfect for patriotic education, helping people understand the principles of hydroelectric power stations and the history of my country's self-built hydroelectric power stations. You can go up to the top of the dam and see Qiandao Lake upstream.

The site preserves the ruins of the Yanzhou Prefectural Government Office, the Confucian Temple, the century-old Qing Dynasty post office, the former site of Zhejiang University's westward relocation, and more than a dozen replica ancient archways. The layout of the prefectural city is intact (South Market, North Ward, East and West Lakes).

This time, I visited Daci Rock Scenic Area during the winter vacation. Because it was winter, there weren't many tourists, making the experience much better. We could leisurely stroll along the mountain paths and enjoy the scenery. We chose the easiest route: first, we took the cable car up the mountain, then went down the slide to the bottom. Aside from the slightly expensive prices of the rides and the lack of half-price tickets for children, the overall experience was quite good. Of all the attractions in Jiande, Daci Rock is still my favorite.

This was my first time visiting Jiande, an ancient village with a thousand-year history. The air was fresh, and there weren't many people. We deliberately avoided peak season, which made for a better experience. My child tried rubbing for the first time – a magical and fun experience!

The moment you get out of the cabin, you can forget all the unhappiness and experience the excitement. The scenery you see when you jump down is different from the scenery you see when you stand on a tall building. It is really interesting. I will come again if I have the chance.

This scenic spot is good, with a great environment, beautiful riverside scenery, charming night lighting, and most importantly, it is a free scenic spot. The only drawback is that there is no direct bus to the scenic spot from the high-speed rail station (you still have to walk more than 1 kilometer to take bus No. 212), and the bus stop in the scenic spot is not easy to find.
