The free ancient village is worth your special visit as a must-see attraction ‖ Shenao Ancient Village

There is a reason why Shen'ao Ancient Village occupies a place in Tonglu, which is famous for its mountain and water scenery, with its ancient village history and ancient buildings. In front of the ancient house with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding classical aesthetics, you would like to slow down, stand quietly under the patio, appreciate the exquisite carvings on the columns, moon beams and corbels, and listen to the sound of water lilies blooming. In front of the mirror-like pond, look at the lush lotus leaves, see the ducks know first when the spring river water warms up, watch the fishing in the green bay in spring, and then listen to the rain in the lakeside studio in midsummer, which one is not the artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting, which one is not the relationship between people and nature? Natural harmony? In the lonely rain alley, in the rain alley under the high walls, in the deep rain alley, the lilac-like girl is no longer sad, no longer complaining; she has love, she has family affection, she has the beauty that the world deserves! Under the square patio, I recall my childhood fantasies of sitting in a well and looking at the sky, poking swallows’ nests with a bamboo pole, and chasing running water and playing in the water on rainy days; this small space holds the fun of my entire childhood! ———— Highlights: Datangli: The large pond at the entrance of the village has stunning scenery, with distant mountains, white walls, and reflections.
