Hidden Gem for National Day Getaway|Pingnan, Ningde, Fujian, Slowly Enjoy Autumn Time in a Quiet Ancient Village

Don’t want to dive into the “crowded crowd” during the holiday? Then you must come to Pingnan, Ningde, Fujian! There’s no hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots here, only the tranquility of niche ancient villages, where you can enjoy peace and quiet—perfect for those who love slow travel~😌 🏡 Must-Visit Niche Highlight: Linkeng Ancient Village When it comes to Pingnan’s hidden gems, Linkeng Ancient Village must be named! Unlike those overly commercialized ancient villages, it still retains a strong sense of everyday life and original historical charm~ - Walking on the bluestone paths, old houses are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides, with black tiles and white walls reflecting the green trees of autumn. Every snapshot looks like a vintage masterpiece with a built-in filter📸, no need to squeeze for angles, every shot is comfortable. - The village elders sit at their doorsteps basking in the sun and chatting casually, occasionally greeting you warmly. There’s no crowded flow of people, only a slow pace of life that instantly helps you shed the fatigue of the city✨. - Autumn in Linkeng is even more flavorful. A gentle breeze brushes the treetops, dropping a few golden leaves that rustle underfoot. When tired from walking, find a stone step to sit on and listen to the birds and insects. This kind of “exclusive tranquility” is truly rare during National Day! 📝 Travel Tips 1. Transportation Advice🚗: Pingnan’s niche attractions are scattered, so self-driving or chartering a car is recommended. The rural roads along the way are also beautiful, allowing you to stop anytime to enjoy the autumn countryside scenery. 2. Outfit Recommendation👗: There is a temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn Pingnan. It’s recommended to wear lightweight long sleeves plus a thin jacket, paired with comfortable shoes for leisurely strolls in the ancient village. 3. Experience Bonus🥘: The village has authentic farmhouse restaurants where you can try local rustic dishes, such as dried bamboo shoots with braised pork and steamed creek fish—fresh, flavorful, and very cost-effective~ Many worry “will it fall apart if there are few people?” Actually, it’s quite the opposite! This quietness is Pingnan’s unique charm—you don’t have to squeeze through crowds to see the scenery, you can truly calm your mind and feel the history of the ancient village and the beauty of autumn. This is the true comfort of travel~ If you plan to visit Xiamen afterward, you can choose Jinjiang Inn Pinshang Xiamen North Station Jimei School Village Hotel for accommodation~ The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to transportation and dining nearby. The rooms are clean and tidy, providing a comfortable resting place for your journey, and it’s very cost-effective~💤
