Optimal travel time
The best time to see autumn scenery in Siming Mountain is1from mid-October to mid-February. Generally speaking, there are many things to play and see.
Go to go on road trip for 2 days at the weekend 1 night to experience the charming autumn in Zhejiang mountainous area ~
Introduction of scenic spots
I always thought that Siming Mountain, which only exists in Yuyao, actually passed through Yuyao, Haishu and Fenghua in Ningbo, Shengzhou and Shangyu in Shaoxing, and even the main peak was in Shengzhou. But the relatively mature scenic spots are really concentrated in Yuyao.
Siming Mountain has a large area and many places to play, and the scenic spots suitable for each season are different!
For example, when you come to Siming Mountain to enjoy the flowers in spring, the 10,000-mu cherry blossom becomes the mount of Siming Golden Sparrow.
In the four famous towns where the average temperature in summer is 8 lower than that in the urban area, almost every village below has rafting to play.
I, an "autumn lover", am not bragging about Lei Lei. Autumn must be the most beautiful season in Siming Mountain.
Every time I come to Siming Mountain at this time, it's like breaking into a fairyland without enchantment. After all, Siming Mountain, as one of the largest production bases of red maple in China, is not in name only (it is a bit of a fork for Siming Mountain people)!
By car in autumn, you can concentrate your route on villages with lush trees and strong autumn. I recommend this route:
Siming Lake Liangnong Ancient Town Shilin Village Maochong Ancient Village Chabei Village Hongfeng Valley Siming Mountain Forest Park.
This two-day trip 1 night is not only on the road, but also has different scenery types and the rhythm is not too hard. The essence of Siming Mountain in autumn is here.

Admission: free.
The most photogenic scenery of Siming Lake in autumn is definitely the water redwood forest in Siming Lake.
This tall and scattered redwood forest is not a typical Metasequoia, and most of it is Taxodium ascendens planted in the 1950s.
Walking along hundreds of meters of coastline, you can see the rich orange and orange intertwined. Occasionally, egrets fly in and let the lake sway with the branches. It's so beautiful that people can't stop pressing the shutter.
There is also Yutu Island in the middle of the lake, named after it looks like a rabbit. Chishan Mountain on the island is also covered with layers of forests. If you bring a small plane for aerial photography, the effect will be particularly good.
You can't go to the island, but you can take a walk on the nearby grass and get in touch with fir trees.
The water in the reservoir is quite clean, which can perfectly rub the blue sky and white clouds. The orange-red crown on the top of the towering Chishan tree is still dazzling red even if the temperature turns cold and the surrounding scenery is bleak.
Hu Ming Reservoir is a first-class drinking water source protection area. Be sure to travel in a civilized way and protect the water source ~
Guliang town
Admission: free.
Out of Siming Lake is the market of Liangnong Ancient Town in Yuyao.
Lane is the center of the anti-Japanese base area in eastern Zhejiang, so it is also called "Little Yan 'an in eastern Zhejiang". In history, it is also an important post station on the road of Tang poetry in eastern Zhejiang, with winding paths and flowing water. The ancient town itself has a long history of 1000 years.
Liang also has many books about human history, and many primary and middle school students in Ningbo will be arranged to come here in spring and autumn.
If time is tight, you don't have to spend too much time on the balance beam. After all, the ancient town is beautiful and autumn colors are rare.
There are many tourist shops in the old street, and the prices are not expensive, especially the representative Liangnong cakes, which can be bought on the road to satisfy your appetite.
Out of Liangnong ancient town, driving on the 33 provincial highway, the autumn scenery is beautiful all the way. Panshan Highway extends all the way along autumn scenery at the foot of the mountain, and climbs the National Geographic magazine with the steep and beautiful scenery along the way.
However, be careful not to be fascinated by the scenery. S33 "signboard" 180 continuous card bending is a bit like "famous mountain"
When you drive to Dalan section, you will pass by Yang Erling, a very famous place in Siming Mountain to see the sea of clouds. Especially when the water vapor is abundant in the morning, the misty mountain fog permeates the hills and jungles, which is a real "fog to the sky".
Under the observation deck in Yangling, there is a dream combination of "mountains, roads, tea gardens and houses". Although there is no tea to drink this season, the rolling sea of clouds still sets off the fairy spirit of Siming Mountain.
On the way to Yang Erling, there is a hairpin bend with high appearance rate. Here, it's the one with a cabin by the road. With Yang Erling's dreamy sea of clouds, it will be more beautiful!
Shilin village
Tickets: Shilin Village is located in Chishui Scenic Area of Danshan, and you need tickets to 80 yuan.
In the hinterland of Siming Mountain, there is a poetic persimmon forest village. Although there is no redwood maple forest, this season is also booming because of its rich persimmons. Locals call persimmons "hanging red", which is really a special image ~
Shilin village surrounded by mountains is not large. There are more than 300 families in total, but there are hundreds of acres of persimmon forests around them. There is a "persimmon king" at the head of the village, who is over 600 years old and the same age as the village. It is also a wild landmark of Shilin Village.
In the hearts of local people, hanging red symbolizes good luck. Every time the persimmon is ripe, the round red hanging is like a small lantern hanging on a high branch, which is very cute.
Villagers in Lincun will take out inexhaustible persimmons to brew persimmon wine. When the jar is opened, the air is full of ripe persimmons from Zui Xiang and Zui Xiang, and you can taste them once or twice.
Shilin Village is located in Chishui Scenic Area of Danshan Mountain. After visiting Shilin Village, you can also take a walk here. The red leaves all over the mountain are also very beautiful.
There are many inns and pubs in Lincun, where you can have lunch at noon.
Maoyong (Hu) Ancient Village
Admission: free.
Leaving Danshan Chishui, and then driving down S33, ancient villages come one after another.
Every village has different customs, which are better than autumn, so Maoyong Village, the first ancient tree village in eastern Zhejiang, must be nominated ~
Maoyong Village is surrounded by a large group of ancient trees over 400 years old, with more than 100 trees. Ginkgo, pine, maple, torreya grandis. Red, yellow, green and green are mixed together, showing charming and gorgeous colors, and clouds are interspersed from time to time to add beauty.
Walking in Maocun, the path between villages and the roof in front of the yard are all golden leaves, but not all ginkgo.
The most famous ancient tree in the village is Jin, which is known as the "crown of thousands of trees". The tree is over 500 years old, and the surrounding trees and stumps are the first in the country. Even if it is precious, its face value can definitely be regarded as "four musts"!
Due to geological disasters and other reasons, the aborigines of Mao _ village have moved the whole village for many years, and now Mao _ village is rebuilt on the original basis. The arrival of tourists every autumn also brings vitality to this gradually deserted ancient village.
Licunhong Gu Feng
Admission: free.
As a famous "hometown of red leaves", Hongfeng Valley in Lizhou Village is a microcosm of Siming Mountain.
The center of the four famous mountains is Lizhou Village. Every autumn, Hongfeng Valley in Lizhou Village is the most popular star attraction. Tens of thousands of acres of red maple forest, at first glance, is quite shocking. When the autumn wind blows, it turns red.
It is not enough that the red maple forest turns red just because the temperature turns cold. When the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger and larger, the maple leaves will be painted with beautiful orange red layer by layer.
The best viewing time of red leaves is1from the end of October to the beginning of February, and autumn is coming soon. This is the "big scene" of the Flame Mountain.
Chapei village
Admission: free.
Chabei Village is the nearest village to Xikou in Siming Town, and it is also the only way for Siming Mountain to drive.
Although there are cars coming and going here every day, in autumn, many drivers are willing to stop and see the scenery of Chapei Village.
For safety, don't park on Panshan Highway at will, please find a suitable place to park ~
From the village to the roadside, the tea culture village is soaked with orange and autumn, which makes people feel like traveling.
Food recommendation
Yuyao is a small county with "magical physique". Even though the economy is good (ranking among the top 100 counties in China last year 12, ranking second in Zhejiang), living here is extremely happy (listed as "the happiest county-level city in China" for 9 times), which is really enviable!
In fact, Siming Mountain is already full in one weekend (it is not recommended to arrange a particularly tense trip by car). If you want to extend your holiday for another day, you don't have to go anywhere else. Yuyao, after all, is so delicious that even people living in downtown Ningbo have to step on the gas pedal and come here specially.
After enjoying autumn scenery, how does Yuyao's hospitality make you go home with an empty stomach?
noodle restaurant
Ningbo cuisine is all-encompassing, but Yuyao is the most fierce place to eat noodles.
In a small county, there are nearly 800 noodle restaurants in Dianping.com alone ... Even if you eat one a day, you can't eat it for two years. Especially the well-known "Yuyao Yellow Croaker Noodles", you can clip off your eyebrows with chopsticks!
Heji noodles
Address: No.0/40, Binjiang North Road, Yuyao, Ningbo (next to Chunqiu Travel Agency)
Although the branch has been open for many years, I still think the old shop on Binjiang North Road is delicious, which has been open for more than 20 years.
The business of the old shop is very good, even if it is not a meal, it will take about ten or twenty minutes to sit down.
As a time-honored brand recognized by Yuyao locals, Hutchison's signature 40 yuan bowl of yellow croaker noodles is really cost-effective. There are two small yellow croakers in the bowl, fried on both sides. They look very good.
The fish smells delicious, the meat is tender and smooth, and the soup is mellow. Only when these three standards are met can a bowl of qualified Yuyao yellow croaker noodles be counted.
Song noodles
Address: No.24-38 Chang 'an Road, Yuyao, Ningbo
Lan Song noodle restaurant is also a popular time-honored brand, just beside the old community. Both the old residents who are used to it and the tourists who come here will be moved by Lan Song's sincere materials in the past ten years.
They have a bowl of yellow croaker noodles from 60 yuan, and the price is moderate. The two yellow croaker noodles are longer than the noodle bowl, so you can drink the spicy and sweet soup base dry.
The soft-shelled turtle noodles in the shop are also very popular, with a bowl of 120 yuan. When a whole turtle is served on the table, the whole bowl is covered, and the visual momentum alone is very strong!
Xianlai restaurant
Address: No.0/97, Binjiang South Road, Yuyao, Ningbo
Yuyao yellow croaker noodle restaurant can be described as blooming everywhere. This rare restaurant with "Jianghu status" started from a breakfast shop 40 years ago and gradually became bigger and stronger with a bowl of yellow croaker noodles. The boss's son took over the store and kept the original flavor.
Many big bosses used to come to Yuyao to do business. The most popular thing is to order a bowl of yellow croaker noodles and a cup of green tea. It's a bit like going to a star hotel and ordering afternoon tea on the third floor. The food is delicious.
The three bowls of signs in the shop, including yellow croaker noodles, shrimp noodles and turtle noodles, all test the technology.
A bowl of fresh noodles is very expensive in Yuyao. According to the market price of yellow croaker noodles, it has increased, ranging from 100 to 300. Fortunately, the materials are good enough, and the yellow croaker is much bigger than others, which at least makes people feel that the price is high but it is rewarding.
There are not many side dishes, but many dishes are delicious. Fried shrimp is highly recommended. The sauce is rich, and regular customers refuse to miss it every time they come.
"Cow flavor"
"Oxtail" seems to be the only food that Yuyao people like: all parts of the cow are finely divided and can be made into cold dishes or hot food. In short, it is a bowl of soul of taste buds of every Yuyao people at night.
Yuyao has at least 500 beef-flavored restaurants. You may not have heard of the taste of beef before you came here. Once you smell beef, don't eat it once or twice a week. I'm really sorry about this mouth that claims to be delicious.
Zhenniuwei
Address: No.92 Xinjian North Road, Yuyao, Ningbo
It turned out that Wei Kai was near the Old North Station. Now the store is an old one, and the environment is much better. At two or three o'clock in the morning, there are still many people coming to eat oxtail, and business is in a mess.
Old customers who have eaten for more than ten years generally don't say anything.
In the past, breakfast in Yuyao was inseparable from beef vermicelli. Order a beef offal vermicelli, full of beef, beef louver, beef heart tube and umbrella bag. The casserole on the table is still boiling and steaming until it is finished. Hands and feet are warm in winter.
A Niu's tail
Address: No.229, Dong Chao Street, Lizhou Street, Yuyao, Ningbo (No.43, Donghanmen Road)
It seems that the Niu Wei restaurant in Yuyao especially likes to bring people's names. Endorsement in the name of the boss has a kind of trust in quality assurance.
This Argo oxtail restaurant looks like the environment of a fly restaurant, but it took 20 years to make a pot of oxtail with great care, and it tastes as good as a big restaurant with a bright and atmospheric facade.
The beef was cooked in the cauldron for more than 5 hours, and it was well done. A piece of beef bone was put in the mouth. Juice immediately gushed from the meat seam, and then the flesh and blood separated, and the stew was crispy and delicious. Even the soup in the casserole is delicious.
Order another beef offal platter, the halogen color is even and attractive from the inside out, and the weight is not small. Eating meat is very satisfying!
A Qiang Niuwei
Address: No.0/46-148, Weixin Road, Yuyao, Ningbo.
A Qiang Niuwei Restaurant is also famous in Yuyao, especially at night. Go to A Qiang and order a bowl of beef rice or casserole. After a hard day's work, your body and mood are cured, your stomach is comfortable, and you can sleep till dawn.
A Qiang cattle bones are characterized by meat and bone marrow. Although they are not very friendly to people with bad mouths, many people in their family like this kind of biting.
Many people will also order a casserole steak, 25 yuan one, which contains three steaks. The carnivore is satisfied!
Add beef to the casserole, grab a handful of dishes, and make a pot with vermicelli, rice cake and dried noodles. When the soup is boiled, you can serve it.
However, there are considerable differences in taste reviews in A Qiang. It may be that the taste is heavy and many young people are not used to it.
Yuyao local dishes
There is not much difference in taste between Yuyao local cuisine and Ningbo cuisine. Drunk, pickled, pickled, eighteen martial arts in the kitchen, to make such a table that combines mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
Xiaolehui
Address: No.1 Yijing Lane 12 1- 127, Yuyao, Ningbo
17 years, Xiaolehui grew up from a small storefront, and it was the most homely dish on the menu. Xiaolehui is eaten as a "home canteen" by many residents around because of its delicious taste and low price.
Xiao Hui's aunt is very enthusiastic. Whether she is an old customer or a new guest, she seems to be inviting the younger generation to dinner at home. There are many kinds of dishes, but it is very reliable to follow the signature dishes as long as you listen to the recommendations of your aunts.
Sam sun soup is a common dish in many snack bars in Yuyao. Chef Xiaolehui's products have been unanimously recognized by picky eaters. Jiaozi, skin, shrimp, quail eggs, meatballs, especially rich in ingredients, simple but just make people want to eat them often.
Xinsheng hotel
Address: No.721Xinjian North Road, Yuyao, Ningbo (near the bus station)
Xinsheng Restaurant, which opened in Xinjian North Road with Azhen Niuwei, specializes in Yuyao's most local home cooking and has been doing it for 30 years.
The price of vegetables has been adjusted several times, but many Yuyao people still haven't changed from snacks to big tastes.
There are several rows of marinated vegetables and salads in the cold dish room. It's tempting to see sales through the glass. Moreover, although the business of the new restaurant is very good, the service and serving speed are quite fast, which is also part of the strength of the old store.
If you are used to eating Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, you can order anything on the menu and basically won't step on thunder. Roast duck, sour soup bullfrog, steamed snail and salt clam are really delicious and cheap!
Lanyuan restaurant
Address: No.72-18, Sun Hang Lane, Yuyao, Ningbo.
Jianyuan is a bit like a private kitchen, opened in an alley of an old community. It is still difficult to "meet" myself, but basically I will recommend everything I have eaten to my friends.
The layout of the restaurant is also very "private", ordering food is in the lobby downstairs, and the real place to eat has to go up to the second floor from the back stairs.
This small restaurant, dare to hide so deep, tastes not much worse. After all, it's hard to find, and you can't seduce old Coustau.
Roasted plums are a very popular specialty. Often go late, only to see an empty bowl, as if to say, "please be earlier next time." Other dishes are also remarkable, and it is worth taking a taxi to eat.
Although it is a very old-fashioned place to enjoy autumn, there will still be new surprises when you return to Siming Mountain. After all, this self-driving route alone has carved up 90% of autumn scenery in Ningbo.
Autumn in Jiangnan is "short and pithy", so hurry up ~
