      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.
