Hou'an Village
后岸村
A famous rural tourism village at the foot of Hanyan, with slate paths, stream beaches and over a hundred farmhouse inns; a base for exploring western Tiantai.
Hou'an Village is in Jietou Town, right next to the Hanyan scenic area. It was once known for quarrying slate, but later turned to rural tourism and became one of Zhejiang's best-known farmhouse villages. Slate-roofed houses and stream beaches line the village, and guesthouses and farmhouse meals are concentrated here. Local snacks include Tiantai jiaobing rolls and maiyouzhi. In summer, visitors can splash in the stream and hike around the area; in autumn, staying overnight is a good way to visit both Hanyan and Hanshan Lake. The village is free to visit, but rooms must be booked in advance during public holidays.
