Off-the-Beaten-Path Trips | A Hidden Gem in Wenzhou

|A Hidden Gem in Wenzhou Daitou Ancient Village is a Chen family settlement hidden in the shadow of Daruoyan Mountain on the banks of the Nanxi River. Here, you won't find bustling crowds, only simplicity and tranquility. In the village, ancient buildings such as the Chen Ancestral Hall and Jicui Hall silently tell stories of the past. But the most captivating sight is the Songfeng Shuiyue Gate. The pond reflects the pavilions and steep cliffs, resembling a natural ink painting of Jiangnan. Stroll along the shiny cobblestone paths, surrounded by green mountains, ancient trees, deep wells, and elegant bamboo groves, and time seems to slow down. The ancient wooden pavilion and moss-covered roof halfway up the mountain make you feel like you've entered a paradise.
