Autumn is here again! Live report from Zhinnan Village, Lin'an

​Zhinnan Village is located in Taihu Source Town, Lin'an District, Hangzhou City. It is a mountain village nearly 600 meters above sea level, and is known as one of the "most beautiful ancient villages in East China." The village is surrounded by layers of terraced fields, and has nearly a hundred ancient trees inside, including sweetgum and ginkgo. In late autumn, the red leaves blaze like fire and the yellow leaves shine like gold, making it a great spot for photography. - The village still preserves several ancient residences from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but now there are too many new houses, and the feeling of an ancient village has almost disappeared. However, the homestays and farm stays are quite well developed. Staying a night and trying local dishes like native chicken and bamboo shoots is nice. - ​The ginkgo leaves have all fallen, the maple trees are bright red, and it is expected to stay this way for about a week. The 2.5KM road into the village only allows small cars to enter. Large vehicles must park at the foot and then transfer to a shuttle bus to enter the village. The round-trip ticket costs 20 yuan, but one-way tickets are not sold, which is a bit of a rip-off. We hiked up the mountain, but when taking the bus down, each person still has to pay 20 yuan.
