Wuyuan's lesser-known beautiful scenery, the most successful trend-following trip ever!

🔥 Rated by 'National Geographic' as 'China's most beautiful countryside', Wuyuan in spring is simply a fairyland. However, popular scenic areas like Hongling, Wuyuanzhou, and Jiangling are really too crowded, leading to a poor experience. It's better to choose some lesser-known spots, where it's less crowded, the scenery is beautiful, tranquil, and free. Taking your time to savor the moments, allowing your soul to relax and be nourished, is the true meaning of travel~ 🗺 Suggested route: 🅰 Fengshan Village—Shibao Village—Chaguan Village—Hongguan Village 🅱 Tuochuan Township: Likeng—Hong Village—Jingang Ridge—(Feifeng Gorge)—Chapingtan Village If you're short on time, you can finish the tour in one day. 1⃣ Fengshan Village: This is the hometown of Jin Yong, with many ancient houses built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, featuring delicate brick and wood carvings, simple and elegant. At the entrance of the village stands the Longtian Tower, which, set against the backdrop of a sea of rapeseed flowers and the ancient village, is exceptionally tranquil and harmonious. 2⃣ Shibao Village: There is an S-shaped curve path leading to the village through the sea of rapeseed flowers, and at the entrance of the village, there are two hundred-year-old camphor trees. Unfortunately, I encountered heavy rain when I visited, so I had to hastily take a couple of photos, but the upside was the lack of people and cars~ 3⃣ Chaguan Village: Rated in 2007 as a classic Chinese landscape village, an internet-famous village! It is the location for that stunningly beautiful countryside scene from the textbooks. When I got off the car, I saw an old man in the distance carrying a wooden plough and leading an ox on the ridge of the rapeseed field, and I excitedly thought I was so lucky to encounter such a harmonious scene. Later I found out that the old man and the ox are NPCs here! 4⃣ Hongguan Village: Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, rapeseed flowers, small bridges, flowing water, ancient camphor trees, such a beautiful scene, no wonder it attracts many artists to immerse themselves in oil painting here~ 5⃣ Likeng: Known as the hometown of plein air painting in China, I stayed at a homestay here as a transit point, which was very convenient for travel and dining. During the day, there are many students who come here to paint, the same scenery, but each person's painting is unique. 6⃣ Hong Village: Currently undeveloped, but there is an observation deck where you can overlook the entire rustic countryside. You can see an ancient Yu family ancestral hall inside, but it is not open to the public. When the writer Yu Qiuyu visited Wuyuan, he specifically went to the Yu family ancestral hall in Hong Village, claiming to be a descendant of the Yu family from Hong Village. 7⃣ Jingang Ridge: Known as the 'cancer-free village', there are several giant ancient camphor trees in the village, with tree holes large enough to stand one or two people. 8⃣ Feifeng Gorge: Recommended by the homestay owner, it is a place where locals often go. The trail follows the stream upwards, a green fairyland, with few people and beautiful scenery. However, on the day we were there, it rained heavily, and the wet and slippery road surface was not convenient for hiking. 9⃣ Chapingtan Village: A high mountain village that requires driving on a winding mountain road to reach. There are many simple homestays in the village, and with some luck, you can overlook the sea of clouds in the mountains from your window. The key is that the villagers here are really warm and simple. The next note will tell the story of this place in detail~ 💡 Other small suggestions: 🚗 Although the distances between the villages are not far, it is best to drive yourself or charter a car, as public transportation is not very convenient. ☀️ Check the weather forecast before you travel, as the weather can change in an instant.
