Great hermits hide in the city, while lesser hermits hide in the wilderness

⭐Starting from Yanfu Temple and driving along the national road, you can reach Yuyuan Village. ⭐To be precise, Yuyuan Village is not a tourist attraction. It's just that you have to buy a ticket to visit large ancient buildings like the Yu Family Ancestral Hall, which costs 40 yuan each. Many villagers still live in the village, especially the elderly. There are almost no commercial facilities such as shops, restaurants, hotels, and B&Bs. The degree of commercialization is much lower than that of Yunmiao Village in Youfengli, and it's completely different from tourist spots like Zhouzhuang, Xitang, Zhujiajiao, Dali Ancient Town, and Lijiang Ancient Town. Therefore, you should be mentally prepared before you go, especially regarding dining. It's not easy to find a place to eat in the village. ⭐Yuyuan Village was established in the early Ming Dynasty. It is said that Liu Bowen arranged the farmland, rivers, and buildings according to the positions of Taiji and the stars, which has since protected Yuyuan Village from floods and allowed it to thrive continuously to this day. ⭐The village is filled with ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the most representative being the Yu Family Ancestral Hall, built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Over 500 years, history has left deep marks on the architecture, and the ancestral hall itself is a history book recording the Yu family and the people and events of Yuyuan Village. ⭐Yuyuan Village is quiet, serene, good for photography and strolling, but it doesn't feel like a tourist destination. Over-commercialization is off-putting, but the inconvenience caused by a lack of commercialization is also obvious, and this issue will trouble me throughout my three-day, two-night trip in Wuyi.
