Shishecun

【Shanghai—>Tonglu: 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary】 Day 1 Shanghai->Dongziguan Village->Dipu Ancient Village->Stay in Tonglu City Area Day 2 Tonglu City Area Fuchun River->Huangang Ancient Village->Stay in Qinglongwu Day 3 Qinglongwu->Shishe Village->Shanghai ———————————————————— On the third day in Tonglu, I visited Shishe Village, and to be honest, it wasn't breathtaking. The village is surrounded by water, resembling a peninsula, and is quite small; it takes about half an hour to walk through. Moreover, there are fewer ancient buildings compared to Huangang Ancient Village in Tonglu. But a good point is that the village has some shops that other ancient villages do not, such as dining, coffee, and tea, which makes it more convenient. I saw people who hiked the Malingshan Trail starting or resting here. Additionally, there is construction going on at the edge of the village, presumably to build accommodation facilities. ———————————————————— 【Highlights of Shishe Village】 Water Play: Shishe Village is surrounded by water systems. Although the water quality is not as good as the streams in Qinglongwu, it is still relatively clean. There are several water-friendly platforms and dams by the river, which make it a nice place for water play in summer. Dining: There are several restaurants in the village, one of which was fully occupied at mealtime. The taste is acceptable for a village level, and I ordered a bowl of rice sieve crawler, asparagus stir-fried with Chinese yam, sweet and sour pork loin, and rice (about 120, see pictures 14-15). Ancient Architecture: There are a few ancient buildings in Shishe Village, and the area around the village square is quite photogenic. Tea Drinks: There are a few coffee and tea shops, which are nice places to rest after walking the Malingshan Trail. ———————————————————— 【Tips for Visiting Shishe Village】 Address Navigation: Shishe Village, Tonglu County, Hangzhou City Transportation: 26km from Tonglu High-speed Train Station | Self-driving Visiting Time: 1-2 hours for a quick tour Surrounding Places: Maoping Village (2.5km) | Lüci Village (9km) | Dongziguan Village (12km) | Dipu Ancient Village (9km) | Shena'o Ancient Village (7km) | Huanxi Village (10km) | Qingyuan Ancient Village (12km) | Malingshan Trail

Tracing its name, it comes from the villagers who once lived under the eaves of stone walls, hence the name 'Shishe'. This small village, with 400 years of history, is nestled against the mountains and by the water, tranquil and mysterious. 🏞️👀 When you stand here, surrounded by greenery, the emerald-like streams meander, as if you've stepped into a real-life 'Emerald City'. The stream is clear and bright, with scattered shallows, a veritable paradise for family water play, letting children fully enjoy the embrace of nature. splash💦🌈 For hiking enthusiasts, don't forget to challenge the peak of the Maleng Ancient Trail opposite. Climbing to the top, overlooking the panoramic view of Shishe, the magnificent mountains and the quaint village complement each other, and at that moment, you will understand the pride of 'looking down on the smaller mountains'. 👀🏔️ 🏠For lovers of ancient architecture, this is a treasure trove for you.

Sitting on it for a moment, the childlike innocence is instantly awakened, and there's nothing more peaceful than this. Hanging on the banks of time, swinging out a leisurely afternoon. 🌞💖 🌳🌟Luts Village🌟🌳 📍Although Luts has traces of commercialization, the water play experience is relatively singular (limited to boating), and it is not particularly recommended for a special trip for water play. If you are on a tight schedule or seeking a purer natural experience, it is appropriate to bypass this place. ⛵️ 🚗🗺️Travel Tips: Self-driving is undoubtedly the best choice for touring the three villages.

Hi everyone! For the May Day holiday, I went to Shishe Village in Tonglu County, Hangzhou. This place is truly a hidden treasure! I'm going to share my travel experience with you all, so get your notebooks ready! Firstly, it's just a half-hour high-speed train ride from Hangzhou city center to Tonglu Station, and then about a 30-minute taxi ride to the beautiful Shishe Village. The scenery along the way is gorgeous, and it put me in such a great mood! You can also hear the sounds of insects and frogs, which takes me back to the summers of my childhood. As for food, the farmhouse dishes in Shishe Village are amazing! Stone-ground tofu, free-range chicken, cured meat. Each dish is filled with the taste of home, and I highly recommend trying them! In terms of sightseeing, the ancient Shishe Village is a must-visit. Walking through the alleys paved with bluestone slabs, I felt as if I had traveled through time. Ancient residences, ancestral halls, archways, each spot is a testament to history. We also visited the Shishe Reservoir, where the water is crystal clear and surrounded by mountains, it's as beautiful as a painting. The photos I took there are so beautiful they don't even need a filter! The most thrilling part was hiking through the Shishe Gorge, with waterfalls, streams, and unique rocks along the way, it was a feast for the eyes. However, everyone should be careful and it's best to go with friends for safety. We also walked along the ancient Shishe trail for a bit, imagining the bustling scenes of merchants in ancient times, it felt so magical. All in all, Shishe Village is truly a great place to relax your body and mind. If you also like such ancient villages and natural scenery, then hurry up and plan a trip!
