Shicheng Village | The Most Beautiful Village in China, a Dreamlike Wonderland!

| The most beautiful village in China, a dreamlike wonderland! Shicheng's autumn scenery is known as "the most popular maple viewing spot" and "a paradise for photography lovers." Known as "the most beautiful village in China," it has been successively rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Popular Maple Viewing Spots in China" and "the Best Maple Viewing Wonderland in East China." Shicheng is not a city, but a mountain called Shicheng Mountain. The mountain is not high, and the limestone forms a continuous stretch. Locals call it Shibi Mountain, as it looks like a city wall made of stone, hence the name Shicheng Mountain. Surrounded by mountains, the air is heavy. In the early morning, mist and smoke from cooking fires fill the village and linger for a long time. Under the sunlight, it looks like a dreamlike wonderland, attracting photography enthusiasts from all over the country. Hui-style architecture, ancient trees, smoke, and morning mist together create the spectacular autumn scenery of Shicheng. I saw some pictures before going to Shicheng Village, but to truly experience the beauty of Shicheng Village, you must be there. 📍Shicheng Scenic Area, Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, Dazhangshan Township, northwest of Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province 🎫Tickets: 60 yuan 🚍Transportation: 🚄Take the high-speed train to Wuyuan Station, then from Wuyuan Station to Laobei Station (25 yuan/person) and then to Shicheng Scenic Area; during peak season, there are direct buses from the high-speed rail station to Shicheng Scenic Area.

Return after watching the sunrise🌱 🏘️Accommodation: Most villagers have converted their houses into restaurants or homestays, providing food and accommodation services for photographers and tourists. 📷[Best Locations]: The best location to view the cooking smoke and morning mist of Shicheng is a small platform halfway up the mountain between Chengcun Village and Dai Village. 📌Travel Tips: 1️⃣ The best way to go to Shicheng is undoubtedly by car. If you start from Huangling, it takes about an hour and a half. Pay attention to the signs on the road. 2️⃣The best time to visit Gutang Shicheng is from mid-to-late November to late autumn because of the maple trees. 3️⃣Choosing the right weather is important. Sunny weather with morning mist is the best. Of course, the mist doesn't appear every day, so there is artificial burning to create mist. 4️⃣Good photography spots on Shicheng Mountain are hard to find. 5️⃣Be sure to get up early, remember! ☀️Sunrise usually starts at 6:00 and lasts until around 7:00. There are many places to stand on the viewing platform, distributed at different heights, so don't be obsessed with popular spots. The scenery on both sides is good.🌺 6️⃣Shicheng Morning Mist (Time & Photography)
