Discover Lishui

Lishui offers one of Zhejiang’s most peaceful mountain-and-river travel experiences, combining old villages, bamboo forests, terraced fields, covered bridges, photography routes, rivers, tea culture, and a slower Jiangnan countryside rhythm. It is a good destination for travelers looking for natural scenery and village life away from the biggest crowds.

A visit can include ancient villages, Yunhe Rice Terraces, Songyang old villages, river landscapes, local food, mountain roads, and photography-focused countryside routes. The best time to visit is March to May or September to November, when the scenery is green or golden and the weather is comfortable. Lishui works well with Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou, Huangshan, Nanxun, and wider Zhejiang countryside routes.
