Xinyegucun is located in the southwest of Jiande. It is currently a relatively large聚居 village of the Ye family in China. This was originally an unknown ancient village. After becoming the filming location of ‘Where Are We Going, Dad 2’ in July 2014, the number of tourists began to increase. They also launched a ‘star-same style’ parent-child experience for tourists to experience the tasks challenged by the stars in the program. Buying tickets is to enter several more representative old houses. Without buying tickets, you can also stroll around the village and explore the alleys. Following the arrows on the tourist map in the scenic area and walking counterclockwise takes about one or two hours.
What to see and what to play: Xinyegucun gives people a feeling of being ancient and traditional. When touring in an ancient village, originally people mainly looked at the architectural layout and carving decoration details. Now, visiting the scenes in ‘Where Are We Going, Dad 2’ is also one of the reasons why many people come to Xinyegucun. The houses and filming scenes where the star dads and cute kids lived are all preserved as they were. Almost all the tasks performed in the program, such as grinding tofu, pushing a wheelbarrow, and picking up things from the water in a water chestnut bucket, can be experienced (some items require an additional fee ranging from 5 to 20 yuan).
Village buildings and scenery: The Tuanyun Pagoda, Wenchang Pavilion, and Tudic Temple at the entrance of the village stand side by side. They are the landmark buildings of Xinyegucun and also symbolize the farming and reading ideals and pursuits that local people have inherited for generations: ‘Farming can lead to prosperity, and reading can provide a place to live.’ The ancient village is surrounded by a lotus pond. Especially in summer, the ancient village set off by the moonlight over the lotus pond is like a paradise. Coming here in summer and taking pictures of the Wenchang Pavilion and Tuanyun Pagoda with the lotus pond as the foreground is as beautiful as a painting.
However, people in Shouchang have a heavy taste and prefer spicy food. You can ask the boss to put less chili peppers. If you encounter the local specialty crystal cake, it is recommended to buy and taste it. The taste is good.
