Gaotiankeng village is not well-developed, making it less popular for visitors. A centuries-old yew tree stands at the entrance of this ancient village, a guardian for generations of villagers.

Houses here are structures made of bricks and wood. Due to a lack of renovations, some of them look a bit old. Residents in Gaotiankeng village live a peaceful and harmonious life.

The ancient town of Xinshi is a picture-perfect water town in Zhejiang.

The place was once an important dock, home to busy trade and transportation. For hundreds of years, local residents built along the river, giving birth to exquisite Ming and Qing-style houses, temples and stone bridges.

The peaceful country life and the song of birds in the early morning keep locals and visitors feeling fresh and comfortable.
