A scenic area in Lintou village dubbed the "Little Iceland" of Dongyang — a county-level city in Jinhua, Zhejiang province — has become a lively destination thanks to its crystal-clear lakes, rugged rocky landscapes, and inviting campsite.

Once an abandoned quarry, the area has been transformed into a landscape of water, with its beauty attracting more and more visitors.

Dongyang Xiaobindao Cultural Tourism Co capitalized on the area's unique scenery in 2024 by opening a campsite that has made it into a new springtime rural-leisure highlight. By the lake, several brightly colored containers are lined up, equipped with seating and barbecue facilities, offering picnics, barbecues, and afternoon tea services.

To enhance the rural tourism experience, the area also offers a range of activities to boost its appeal. At the paddleboard sports base, professional coaches provide one-on-one guidance, allowing visitors to enjoy the clear lake. Fishing enthusiasts can relax by fishing in designated areas, savoring the tranquil mountain and water scenery.

Beyond "Little Iceland," Lingtou village, with 700 years of history, also features well-preserved ancient residences and meticulously crafted cultural landscapes, offering scenic beauty and cultural richness at every turn.
