There is an ancient village in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province, which is called the source village because it is located on the banks of Yantan Creek, the source of the Nanxi River. It is an ancient village with a history of more than 400 years, but it has been unknown for a long time, but in recent years it has become a popular village, and many tourists come to see the style of the ancient village. People who have come here are full of praise, thinking that the scenery here is beautiful and quiet, even with a little poetry, it is a rare poetic landscape ancient village. How beautiful is this place? Let's take a look.
Yuantou Village is located in Yantan Town, Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province, and the "Linkeng Ancient Village", which is also known as the source of the Nanxi River, is only 7 kilometers away in a straight line. Because it is the source of the ancient waterway, it is called the source village.
According to the records, the source village lives in the deep mountains and was once a representative of "dirty and chaotic", so although the village has been established for more than 400 years, there is no detailed history and story of the village. Today's Source Village has been treated, the old appearance has been replaced by a new look, and it has been transformed into a 3A-level scenic spot integrating scenery and humanities. The small mountain village that was once unpopular has become more and more lively because tourists continue to visit, and even become a new internet celebrity village.
Why did The Source Village become so beautiful so quickly? Because here is surrounded by mountains and water, when the source of the Nanxi River, Yantan Stream, flows through here, it turns a few bends at the head of the village, not only the river is wide, but also forms a flat valley, and the superior environment makes the mountains and rivers here beautiful and the scenery beautiful.
Walking down the road of Yantan Creek into the village, the first thing you see is the wide stream surface, the stream is clear and clear, the widest part of the downstream is cut off by the barricade, the dam is a stone-blocked walk bridge, and there is a semi-circular arch bridge in the middle. The stream flows down from the gaps in the bridge and under the arch bridge, splashing white water on the embankment, which is particularly beautiful from a distance. It's also a great photo spot, whether it's a fresh breeze photo or an antique photo.
There are some small boats parked in front of the pier by the creek. In the middle of these small boats is a raised black arch, which at first glance looks like a black canopy boat in Shaoxing, but if you look closely, it has its own characteristics. They are pointed at both ends, like two shuttles that are buckled together upside down, and if viewed from above, the whole boat resembles a grasshopper, so it is called a "stern boat".
People who are familiar with Li Qingzhao's poetry should be familiar with The Ship Boat, because she once wrote in the "Wuling Spring Festival Gala" that "I heard that the Spring in Sungai Is still good, and I also intend to pan the light boat." I am only afraid of the Twin Streams Ship Boat, and I can't carry many worries. "The stern boat is the main means of transportation in Guyuantou Village, which withdrew from the stage of history after the rise of land transportation. The village of The Source is known as the starting point of the sternwhee, and the wharf by the creek is both the historical source port.
When the old village was renovated, the source village took the ship boat as a characteristic culture and made it reappear on the creek. When you come here, it is an essential project to take a boat ride on the water and experience the ancient poetry.
In order to promote the culture of the stern boat, the source village also built a ship boat culture center by the Yantan Creek. The cultural center is very distinctive, with three observation decks on one side near the stream, which resemble three sternwheelers protruding from the museum. Standing on the observation deck, you can enjoy the scenery on the creek or the mountain in the distance. The museum displays old objects related to the ship boat, such as iron anchors, pot stoves, and kerosene lamps, as well as the production methods and historical stories of the ship boat.
Although Yuantou Village is a historical village, most of the houses in the village are newly built small high-rise buildings, which look very clean. There is a characteristic B&B near the pier which is a great place to see. From here, there is a street leading to the village, known as the characteristic cultural block, lined with many homestays and shops. Here you can not only feel the characteristics of the mountain village on the banks of the Nanxi River, but also taste the special cuisine of the source village. Yongjia wheat cake and wontons are a local must, but also the boatman's favorite food, come here to visit must remember to taste it.
Looking at the scenery, tasting ancient poems, recalling history, tasting food, the good mountains and waters of the source village make people linger, and the food of the source village is endlessly evocative. Friends who haven't come yet, take advantage of the weekend to get up.
