A Treasure Land Hidden in the Jinyu Border! High-Altitude Meadows, Dragon Pools, Stone Houses, and Stunning Landscapes
Dragon Creek Village is like a pristine and elegant virgin, hidden deep in a sparsely populated area at the foot of Cangshan Mountain...
Dragon Creek Village, comprising QianShang, QianWuHutang, XiaPiang, ZiYuanHang, is located 30 kilometers east of Hutuzhen in Jinyu, Zhejiang province, at the intersection of Lishui, Jinhua, and Taizhou cities, with an area of approximately 8.1 square kilometers. It is mainly inhabited by Zhang, Chen, and Sun surnames, with more than 10 minor surnames, 235 households, and 530+ residents. It has 265 acres of cultivated land and 100,000+ acres of woodland.
High-altitude meadows, Dragon Pools, stone houses, and thousands of acres of alpine azaleas – you can only truly experience these four landscapes in Dragon Creek.In the spring of 2023, the Jinyu Media Center and the Jinyu Municipal Administration of Civil Affairs jointly launched a large-scale field trip campaign, and the first stop was Dragon Creek Village.'Exploring Jinyu's Boundary Villages'
The campaign started with Dragon Creek Village.
High-altitude meadows
We have long admired Dragon Creek's high-altitude meadows.
This spring, we finally embraced the Dragon Creek meadows on the summit of QianXiuTang after QianShang Natural Village. This meadow is located at a convergence point between Jinyu and Jianju.
The larches hadn't yet turned green, bringing with it a sense of vicissitude and exotic charm.
The meadow's grass is unrestrained and casual, with few new shoots, creating a lazy and relaxed feeling. Five-needle pines, however, generously 'painted' the summit with 'emerald green'.
In the lens, we saw the alpine scenery resembling the Swiss Alps: soft, sprawling meadows, strip-like distributions of larches, and occasionally, herds of cattle leisurely wandering – everything was captivating.
Dragon Creek Village's Township Head Tang Sheng said that regarding high-altitude meadows, this place is just the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, we searched for more hidden and original high-altitude meadows at the intersection of Jinyu, Jianju, and PanAn.
Following the winding ridge line, the undulating mountains stretched endlessly, with red, white, and pink wildflowers blooming on both sides, and small cows occasionally darting across our path to add some rustic charm.
The ridge line is actually the county boundary line. One side is Jinyu, and the other is Jianju. Looking out, the sky is vast, and the wilderness stretches endlessly. Along the way, almost every angle is a different scene, and every step is a landscape.
Unexpectedly, another meadow appeared after another slope, after passing through a large 'V' shaped slope, many 'windmill' scenes came into view, that's the area of the Three Provincial Capitals.
At the summit, a triangular boundary monument was carved with:
Lishui, Taizhou, and Jinhua. The monument was created to facilitate visual observation, with two sides combined.
This is a classic outdoor hiking experience route covering the most essential viewpoints at the intersection of the three cities: high-altitude meadows, sunrise, sunset, cloud seas, starry nights, ancient trails, etc.Hidden in the depths, unseen by mortals, it stunned time with just one glance.
