[2025 Wuhan Attraction] Travel Guide for Dayu Bay (Updated Apr)

The most beautiful village in Wuhan - Dayu Bay From the urban area of Wuhan, it takes just over an hour to drive to Dayu Bay, a scenic spot in Huangpi District, without traffic jams. This village retains more than 40 Gan-style buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, built in 1369, and is one of the first batch of famous historical and cultural villages in China. The village is very large and you can play for an afternoon. There are various performances in the village, such as cockfighting, shadow puppetry, etc. You need to watch the time, as they all start on time. There is a mountain behind the village, and the scenery on the mountain is particularly good. The food in the village is very delicious, basically everyone comes to eat local chicken, choose any chicken you like and catch it on the spot, eat fresh, the taste is excellent. When you go back, you can also purchase some farm specialties, such as eggs, honey, bean silk, etc. Saying that this is the most beautiful village in Wuhan is really not an exaggeration

1-8: Dayuwan° (Ming and Qing Dynasty Huizhou-style ancient residential buildings) Tips: Tickets are required! Group purchase and discount prices vary by season, so it's recommended to search on various platforms before going. On-site tickets are full price. Parking is convenient. The experience is not worth the ticket price, but I still recommend it! The buildings have been restored, but there are still a few residents living inside, so you can still see some of the old buildings, which I think is worth it. Maybe it's because I went during the off-season, there weren't many people, and the weather was nice, so it was very relaxing to stroll around the village! Parking is convenient (there is a parking lot in the village, CNY 3/hour) It's worth coming when the weather is nice, as the sun is the best filter. The lake is blue under the sun, and the wide view makes you feel relaxed. In winter, the cruise ships may stop due to the low temperature, but no worries, I'll come back in spring! I took a leisurely stroll around the village, which is a quiet and tidy place. The afternoon sun shines in front of the local people's houses, and the sound of mahjong can be heard inside. I love it! There are many people taking photos at the coffee shop by the lake, and I also recommend the fried chicken shop at the bridge, which has a great atmosphere.

In the ancient village of Dayuwan in Huangpi, Wuhan, which is over 600 years old, why has the Yu clan been glorious for hundreds of years? Therefore, some people also call it the most powerful surname in Hubei. You might be curious to ask, who exactly is hidden in this ancient village in Huangpi, Wuhan, that has been around for over 600 years? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk today about the stories of the ancient village of Dayuwan. The ancient village of Dayuwan is a Chinese historical and cultural village inhabited by the Yu surname, established in the second year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1369). The residents mainly migrated from Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and are located in Shuangquan Village, Mulan Township, Huangpi. It is the entrance to the ten-mile gallery of Mulan River, connecting to the north with Mulan Mountain. To the west of the ancient village of Dayuwan lies the Sheshui River, which is not only the key starting point of the 'Dayuwan-Mulan River to Mulan Mountain-Mulan Lake' golden tourism belt but also a part of the 'Eight Sights of Mulan' with profound cultural significance. It is also the natural gateway to the large Mulan ecological and cultural tourism circle in the northern part of Huangpi. Moreover, it is particularly worth mentioning that in the family history of the Yu clan of Dayuwan, Wuhan, there were 'three governors from one family, and four generations of ministers' during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The village also produced over 100 successful candidates in the imperial examinations. This is also a very important reason why the Yu clan has been glorious for hundreds of years.
