      Introduction

      Anchor point
      Family memories are built one grain at a time. The Sanxia itinerary we recommend this time combines the outdoors, historic buildings, and handicrafts for a very fun and enriching day that is guaranteed to bring parents and their children closer together! The first stop is “Yunsen Waterfall,” a local secret in Sanxia. The trail passes through a rich eco-system and the awe-inspiring waterfall surrounded by green forests is a perfect place to enjoy a Phytoncide spa. For lunch, head over to the Old Street. “Qingshui Zushi Temple” is the center of local belief and has many followers. See how art was incorporated into the temple architecture and say a quick prayer for your children’s health and safety. Sanxia Old Street has many unique sights such as “Sanxia History Museum.” The old red brick building showcases local history and culture. The “Sanxia Workshop and Sanxia Indigo Dyeing Center” nearby offers indigo dyeing DIY workshops so you and your children can discover the magic of this folk craft for yourself. “Sanxia Arc Bridge” on the bank of Sanxia River is a testament to the rise and fall of the local industry and offers sweeping views of Sanxia’s natural scenery. The final stop is “Li Mei-shu Memorial Gallery.” Follow the history of Sanxia through the artworks and fill you and your children’s hearts with wondrous memories.

        Jinzibei Historic Trail – Houtong overlooked mining glories and offers a healing journey searching for kitties while visiting local attractions.
        Jinzibei Historic Trail’s starting point at the Mudan end is the same as that of Canguangliao Historic Trail; Canguangliao exits from Jinguashi, while Jinzibei hiking trail exits from Houtong. After getting off from Shisanceng Old Tree Stop, walk for 15 minutes and you will arrive at “Jinzibei Historic Trail Entrance/Exit”. Along the Trail, visitors will come upon century-old historic sites of Jinzibei and Fengxianshijin Tablet; the total distance of the Trail is approximately 3.4km, and it takes about 2.5 hours to finish walking the Trail. The Trail is mainly made of stone path and stone stairs, which will take some energy to finish the route; but the lush green woods give refreshing coolness along the way. After exiting the Trail, visitors will connect to Jiuqiongqiao Rd. and then Houtong Rd. if they continue going straight. And going further down, visitors will see Ruisan Coal Transporting Bridge and Ruisan Coal Preparation Plant. Walking into the “Vision Hall” transformed from previously the coal preparation warehouse, visitors will have an in-depth experience of the old-time glory of Houtong’s coal mining industry as well as an overview of the local coal mining development through the introduction provided inside the Vision Hall. The other key feature of Houtong would have to be “Cat Village”! Walking over Houtong Cat Bridge, and visitors will arrive at cat lovers’ “promised land” – Cat Village. Let us kindly remind all visitors to follow the rules here, and please do not hit, feed, disturb, or pet the cats, and please do not free your cats here and do not litter. Let’s safeguard this precious “cats’ heaven” together as we enjoy a healing holiday and wander amidst the historic paths.
