Jiande
The ancient land of Yanzhou on the banks of the Xin'an River, featuring summer river mists, a thousand-year-old town, and historic clan villages.
Jiande is located in the southwest of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and is managed by Hangzhou City. The Xin'an River and Fuchun River flow through here. The water discharged from the Xin'an River Hydropower Station is cold year-round, and in summer, a fairyland-like river mist often rises around the Baisha Bridge. Meicheng Ancient Town was once the seat of Yanzhou Prefecture, Xinye Ancient Village is a well-preserved settlement of the Ye clan, and Daciyan, Lingqi Cave, and Qili Yangfan showcase spectacular mountain and water wonders, while Shouchang Ancient Town and Aviation Town each have their own unique characteristics. Summer is great for enjoying the river mist and escaping the heat, while spring and autumn are suitable for exploring history. The gateway is Jiande Railway Station on the Hangzhou-Huangshan High-Speed Railway, or you can drive from Hangzhou via the expressway, and easily combine your trip with Qiandao Lake.
