Ziquejie Terrace

Departing from Changsha by car🚗❗️ On holidays, to escape the crowd and find less popular routes||| A less-traveled self-driving🚗 route that has been tested by the last National Day ⚠️⚠️ This route is only suitable for those who don't like crowded scenic spots, don't want to waste holidays, and want to go out to see the scenery Changsha-Yunsheshan Village-Zhaishadongzhai-Biancheng-Jishou-Loudi Meijiang-Changsha The scenery along the way is great and there are few people (except for Biancheng, which has more people, but it's completely ok if you don't take the lala ferry, just that it's crowded) ✨Yunsheshan Village✨ The first Tujia village in China, located at the foot of Fanjing Mountain (you need to make a reservation in advance to go to Fanjing Mountain, there are quite a few people, I personally skipped it, not liking crowds). The village is not big, the scenery is pretty, with clear mountains and waters. Inside there is a Shenlong Pool with emerald green water, and there is an observation deck on the mountain next to it🉑 overlooking the village ✨Zhaishadongzhai✨ It's near Yunsheshan Village, it's suggested to go for a casual stroll in the evening. The newly built Dong village is quite commercialized, and there is a bonfire party in the evening, which has a good atmosphere ✨Biancheng✨ Biancheng from Shen Congwen's writings, not too few people during holidays, but still acceptable. The most fun part is that you can locate three places at once: Chongqing, Guizhou, and Hunan The city is full of travel photography, those who like to take pictures can try it. The food prices are reasonable, the 2 yuan lala ferry is the most crowded place in the city (I personally recommend the 20+💰 cruise boat more) Didn't do much in Jishou, just a place for a mid-way rest, had a delicious and cheap barbecue, and casually strolled around the city district ✨Loudi Meijiang✨ Originally wanted to see the Ziquejie terraces, bought tickets and went up, but it was all foggy, so I left. Then came to Meijiang, really chao surprise. I had posted notes about this place before, almost a thousand likes now, really worth it! The scenery is beautiful and special, not many people, it's already on my list to visit again🧾 Had a lot of fun along the way, also ate chao delicious Guizhou beef, Jishou barbecue, and with the right person, anywhere is good

The Ziquejie Terraces originated in the pre-Qin period and flourished during the Song and Ming dynasties. Due to special geographical conditions, after thousands of years of rice farming experience, these rice terraces were formed.

Check in at the Zhenglong Ancient Village in Xinhua Ziquejie~ A quiet place, there were not many people when I went. There are small terraced fields and streams, it's very cool, suitable for relaxing and relieving stress. But it may not be suitable for people with high demands. The scenic area is not large. First, the key point❗️: The scenic area currently does not require a ticket, it is still under construction Tour time⏱: Half a day-1 day (suitable for weekend tours) Drive🚗: It takes about an hour from Xinhua County. I went from the direction of Lugu Wentiandao, the road is quite good. Motorcycles are also very convenient. Route🗺️: You can directly navigate to Zhenglong Ancient Village, don't cross the bridge near the gate of Ziquejie, turn left, there is a small road next to it (there is a Zique local restaurant) and drive for more than ten minutes. Photo check-in📸: Because I'm lazy, I didn't deliberately climb the mountain and look for spots this time. Here are three spots: 1️⃣There is a suspension bridge near the small stream canyon, there are road signs, the word 'xi' sign can take portraits and videos. It's quite suitable for couples to take pictures and check in 2️⃣For scenery, I haven't found a good spot yet, you can climb the mountain and see. I personally think the good spot is on the road in the parking lot of the scenic area, you can drive up, there is a red maple tree on the top. 3️⃣Near the covered bridge. That is, the place out of the village. Dining and accommodation🏠: I only played for an afternoon, so I didn't eat or stay, so I won't recommend it. Extended play: From the small road in the parking lot, you can drive all the way to the Ziquejie viewing platform, but the road is a bit narrow. Finally, I hope Xinhua will get better and better Ziquejie terraces

It forms a picturesque pastoral landscape. The wooden plank houses surrounded by mountains and ancient trees compose the wonderful natural scenery of 'Heaven and Man as One' in the Purple Finch realm. The natural beauty of the Purple Finch realm's terraced fields is also reflected in the changing scenery with the seasons, making the terraced fields even more graceful. Spring is like blocks of crystal under the sunshine, summer is like curved jade pouring down from the sky, autumn is like crisscrossing patches of golden yellow, and winter is like tens of thousands of white ribbons dancing. This place is a paradise on earth, a great destination for tourism.
