​丽水，藏于浙南山水的秘境之城，以“浙江绿谷”闻名，是自然与人文交织的诗意栖居地。

　　Tucked among the misty mountains and winding rivers of southern Zhejiang lies Lishui—a city that feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. Often called the “Green Valley of Zhejiang”, Lishui is a poetic retreat where nature’s beauty and cultural richness intertwine in quiet harmony.

　　​云和梯田如大地调色盘，春灌银波夏叠翠，秋来稻浪翻涌，四季皆可入画；仙都鼎湖峰孤峰擎天，云雾缭绕间仿若仙境，黄帝祠宇诉说着华夏始祖的传奇；探访畲族古村，听凤凰传说，赏彩带织艺，感受非遗魅力。

　　Here, terraced fields stretch across rolling hills like brushstrokes on a painter’s canvas. In spring, they shimmer like silver waves; in summer, they turn a lush, vibrant green; and in autumn, golden rice ripples in the breeze. Each season unveils a new masterpiece. At Xiandu Scenic Area, Dinghu Peak towers alone in the mist, exuding a dreamlike presence. Not far away, the Huangdi Temple pays tribute to the legendary Yellow Emperor, a revered figure in Chinese mythology. Venture deeper and you’ll encounter ancient She ethnic villages, where legends of the phoenix are still told, ribbons are handwoven into intricate crafts, and centuries-old traditions live on in everyday life.

　　​美食是丽水的另一面乡愁。缙云烧饼酥香焦脆，梅干菜与猪肉在炭火中交融出咸香；畲族乌米饭以枫叶汁浸染，软糯沁香；还有遂昌三层楼火锅、畲家乌骨鸡煲，每一口都是山林馈赠的淳朴滋味。

　　Lishui’s cuisine evokes a sense of nostalgia. Jinyun baked pancakes are crisp and golden, filled with savory preserved vegetables and pork, then roasted to perfection over charcoal. The She people’s black rice, soaked in maple leaf juice, offers a delicate fragrance and comforting texture. For a true taste of the region, try Suichang’s famed “Three-Tier Hotpot” or the She-style black-bone chicken stew—authentic mountain fare, rich in flavor and rooted in tradition.
