This ancient village is Jinshan Village. Jinshan village is located in a circuitous mountain, with continuous green hills behind it and an empty valley in front. The unique topography not only creates terraced houses in the mountains, but also is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it an excellent summer resort.
According to historical records, the ancestor of Jinshan Village was the thirteenth grandson of Wang Qian Liu, who moved here in Xiashui Village next to Dongqian Lake in Yuan Dynasty until his sophomore year, so the villagers' surname was Qian. Jinshan village has a history of more than 700 years since Qian moved in. It is a veritable ancient village, and lush old and famous trees can be seen everywhere in the village.
One of the most famous is a maple tree at the head of the village, which is called "giant maple welcoming guests" because it is located beside the only road leading to the village. This ancient tree has no exact age, but it is a third-class protected ancient and famous tree in Yinzhou District. The crown of the tree is tall and straight, and its branches are flourishing, covering the sky above like a huge umbrella. When the sun shines, a thick shade is formed under the tree, which becomes a cool and beautiful place to enjoy the cool. There is an ancient cucumber road under the ancient Liquidambar formosana tree, which leads to the "python dragon drinking stream"
In addition to the "Giant Maple Welcome", Jinshan Village is surrounded by Jaw Waterfall, Manglong Drinking Creek, Wengtouxiao, Sunset in the Ancient Temple, the shade of Maple Grove, the cold spring in the deep pit, Xiangfeng Tantou, Dragonfly Looking Up, King Kong Zhao Hui and other scenic spots. There are many ancient roads connecting these scenic spots, forming a beautiful landscape group.
The residential buildings in Jinshan village are built on the mountain, with high and low levels. There is a step path between each house, along which you can walk around every corner of the village. Seen from the air, Jinshan Village really looks like a large open-air theater. The fly in the ointment is that some houses are in disrepair and look mottled and vicissitudes.
Jinshan village is a high mountain village and lives halfway up the mountain. Some tourists may spend half a day climbing it and go home after seeing the terraced ancient village. If so, you will miss a lot of scenery, because the mountains in the northeast of Jinshan Village are more exciting.
The mountain range where Jinshan Village is located is called Qianjiashan, which is called the Five Mountains together with Gong Yue in the east, Shan Zhi in the south, Yujiashan in the west and Wujiashan in the northwest, among which Qianjiashan is the first of the Five Mountains. The main peak of Qianjiashan is called Dagangtou, also called Jinshangang, because it faces the Yinshan Mountain on Baiyan Mountain.
Dagangtou is not an isolated mountain, but a series of mountains. The terrain of these mountains is not steep, most of the gentle slopes have become terraces, and tea trees are growing on the slopes. The tea forest on the ridge is like a green wave. When the wind blows, it seems to flow, which is beautiful.
There is a pavilion at the top of Chashan terraced fields, called Wanghaige. Standing on Chashan Mountain, you can see the windmill road of Baiyan Mountain, Hengxi Reservoir at the foot of the mountain, Egg Reservoir, Gongyue Mountain in the east and ancient villages in the valley. As there is no shelter around, Wanghaige has become an excellent place to watch and photograph sunrise and sunset.
There is a wide road in front of Wanghaige. Occasionally, tourists drive to enjoy the scenery and park their cars here. If there are no vehicles parked, it will become an excellent campsite in an instant. Bring your lover or friends, set up a tent here, watch the sunset at night, watch the starry sky at night and watch the sunrise in the morning, which is warm and romantic.
There is a hilltop mountain in the northwest of Wanghaige, and wild azaleas grow on the whole mountain. Rhododendrons are in full bloom, standing under the sea pavilion and looking around, the whole mountain is pink and very beautiful. Few people come here and the environment is quiet. If you are in it, you will be in a state of meditation, and your irritability can be quickly calmed down.
It should be noted that Jinshan village is located in the hinterland of the mountains, and the traffic is not very convenient. Although there are buses coming from Hengxi, there are only four buses a day. If you miss the flight, you have to wait at least an hour or two, so it is recommended to drive.
