Tianmu Mountain is named after the "Queen Mother" and is the main mountain in Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province. It is composed of mountains such as , Dajian and so on. It is a group of rolling and majestic peaks. It overlooks Hangzhou Bay to the north, Shanxi River to the west, Tiantai Mountain to the south, Ningbo Plain to the east and points directly to the East China Sea. It has been the spiritual home for poets and literati of all ages to roam and pursue their dreams, and for celebrities and eminent monks to retreat to seek truth.

Halfway up the mountain with an altitude of nearly 700 meters, Tianmu Mountain is famous for its "Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Farewell" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. "Tianmu reaches the sky and stretches across the sky. The five mountains cover Chicheng. The rooftop is 48,000 feet tall. It is about to collapse to the southeast." Li Bai vividly described the momentum of Tianmu Mountain in his poem.

Departing from Xinchang County, along National Highway 104 heading south towards the rooftop, in less than 20 minutes, you will enter the artistic conception of empty and misty landscapes as mentioned in Li Bai's poem, "The clouds are green as if it is raining, and the water is rippling with smoke."

In Nanshan Village, a thousand-year-old ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River, the villagers live and work in peace and contentment. They do their favorite handicrafts in their free time, which not only enriches their lives, but also gives new life to the ancient charm of the deep house.
