May Day in Zhedong, Zherli awaits you

Zherong County is bordered by Fuding to the east, Fu'an to the west, Taishun County of Zhejiang Province to the north, and Xiapu to the south. Worried about traffic jams on the highways and overcrowded tourist spots during the May Day self-driving tour? It is recommended to visit Zherong for one or two days to avoid the peak period and at the same time enjoy the "idyllic slow life". The first stop is the Dongshi Mountain Scenic Area, which is easily accessible right off the highway. Dongshi Mountain stands to the east of Zherong County town, with many temples and monasteries on the mountain. In the dense forests of the mountainside, there are San Cao Yuan, Puguang Temple, Baima Palace, with Qingyun Palace in the middle, Jue Xing Temple on the southern foothills, and Longxing An, Ma Xian Guan, Dongfeng Temple, Guangfu Temple, etc., at the foot of the mountain, forming a unique religious cultural atmosphere. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Zherong County, especially during sunrise and sunset, the view is even more breathtaking. At the foot of the mountain, there are also many delicacies worth checking in, such as "Xiaojia Biyu", "Beef Balls", "Coconut Chicken"... The second stop is Xuelingwei Village, known as "China's Number One Paper-Cutting Village". As the hometown of Chinese folk culture and art, paper-cutting is the cultural treasure of Zherong County and the shining "Light of Eastern Fujian". Among them, Xuelingwei Village, with more than 400 years of paper-cutting cultural heritage, has revitalized intangible heritage to create a "fresh countryside and cultural creative fields", making it a must-visit place for rural ecological tourism. The village features spaces such as the Master Paper-Cutting Gallery, Paper-Cutting Training Hall, and Parent-Child Amusement Park, as well as homestays and special farm delicacies. On the return trip, it is recommended to stroll around the ancient city walls in the main urban area, walk through the park's food street, and experience the nightlife of the small town people. Gently touching the stones of the ancient city wall with your palm, listening to the babbling Longxi water, looking up, you can vaguely see the simplicity and ancient charm unique to Xiping ancient street. Walking along the creek to the Rainbow Bridge, the lively atmosphere of square dance songs and street vendors' calls can be heard from behind. Finally, a day's itinerary of wandering and eating on the food street can come to a close.
