Jinhua Mountain, Baocun Village | A paradise on earth, a utopia beyond the world.

| A paradise on earth, a utopia beyond the world. ✅In 1943, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin visited Yanfu Temple in Wuyi County. Later, a photo of Baocun Village was included in "History of Chinese Architecture" as a representative of "Zhejiang Xuanping Wuyi Mountain Residential Houses". National Geographic also called this unpolished ancient village "Perfect Mountain Residence". 📍Location: Baocun Village, Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province 📍Entrance Fee: Free 🚗Transportation: Self-driving (most convenient), free parking, bus available (few departures) 🏡Nearby: Yanfu Temple, Shang Huang Village, Liangjia Xiaohuangshan, etc. ⚠️Note: Bring your own food, there are no restaurants in the village at present 🕐Visiting Time: 0.45h-2h, pets allowed, comfortable crowd during National Day holiday 【Village Status】 💰Business: Along the way, there is a newly opened beverage + barbecue restaurant, a farmhouse convenience store (mainly beverages), and villagers selling their own agricultural products on the bridge. There are no other commercial activities. 🏯Architecture: The village preserves over 30 Qing Dynasty and Republic of China buildings, which are simple and attractive, blending architectural features from various regions. The old wooden houses showcase exquisite beams and carvings. 🌈Main Attractions ⛩️Bao Clan Ancestral Hall: The landmark building of Baocun Village, dedicated to the ancestors of the Bao clan, with a profound historical and cultural heritage. The carvings and paintings inside the ancestral hall are exquisite, showcasing the glory and inheritance of the Bao clan. 🛖Ancient Residential Buildings: These well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings feature blue bricks, black tiles, horse-head walls, and courtyards.

It is recommended to drive 25 minutes to the nearest Liucheng Town for dining. The Xuanping wontons here are famous, and the dry pot goose at Xiaoding Restaurant on Liucheng Highway is delicious. 🌟【Travel Tips】 1️⃣: The ancient village is very original, with only a few convenience stores. It is recommended to bring a power bank and dry food, or eat in nearby Liucheng Town. 2️⃣: The village's cobblestone roads are steep and mossy, so be careful not to slip. 3️⃣: The villagers are very simple and enthusiastic. You can visit and take photos of the ancient houses, but please do not disturb the residents.
