#favouriteitinerary A while ago, I visited Wuyuan, known as the most beautiful village in China and a birthplace of ancient Huizhou culture. In March and April, the fields of rapeseed flowers and the white-walled, black-tiled buildings create a picturesque early spring scene. We explored Huangling, a village that is stunning in autumn, especially at night with the ancient village lights. Jiangwan, a historic 5A scenic spot, impressed us with its ancient buildings and photogenic autumn drying setup. Likeng, with its red lanterns and flowing water, offered a vibrant and charming atmosphere. The experience was made easy with affordable tickets and convenient opening hours. Wuyuan’s blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty made for an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend visiting to enjoy its timeless charm.

I like traveling independently, so I chose to drive myself during this trip to Jiangxi. Let me summarize first. Although there are no rape flowers in Jiangxi during the off-season, for northerners, the green mountains and clear waters in winter can still put them in a good mood! Itinerary: 2 days in Wuyuan, 1 day in Nanchang We rented a car in Wuyuan and took the northern route. We chose Likeng, which charged an entrance fee. We went to other villages which were free. I felt that the entrance fee to Likeng was worth it, as I saw water so clear that you could see duck feet, ate authentic red carp, and even the bamboo shoots in the stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon were fresh, unlike other places! The other villages are pretty much the same. The most recommended is the roadside strawberry, you must purchase! ! It is no worse than Dandong strawberries, and even better because they are freshly picked. We were leisurely on the road for too long. After arriving at Hongguan, we went straight to Huangling and took the so-called most beautiful road, which was actually just a rainbow line in the middle (everything else you see on the most beautiful road along the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop is just average)! We stayed in the scenic area in Huangling. Unfortunately, most shops were closed at night, and the activities ended at 6 o'clock. We could only enjoy the scenery. It was not friendly to foodies. However, the lights were beautiful at night. Maybe there were more people in the peak season, so the shops could open. Oh, the breakfast was great and rich. Girls should take photos after 10 o'clock when the sun comes out. Before that, you can just stroll around and watch their activities. When we went there, it was a wedding. The thing that impressed me the most was the big black mole next to the bride. It was so cool~ On the way back, most of the attractions were charged, so I didn't go. Oh, there is a Jiangling scenic spot that I hesitated about going to. I see that it is mainly terraced fields, and I will definitely go there if I want to dry the autumn crops. I gave up on going to Huangling, where you can also see large terraced fields. After returning the car to Wuyuan Station, I went to Nanchang. To be honest, I was quite disappointed. I went to all the recommended alleys, and I admit that the stinky tofu in Yangzi Lane is delicious, but! ! ! When the delicious food in one place is the specialty of other places, I should think that I shouldn't have any hope for the snacks here. I ate boiled and fried food from two restaurants in the evening. There was only one choice: ignore the ones ranked first online and just rush into the ones with the longest queues. The taste difference is still huge. I went to Dashiyuan too early in the morning, but I didn't eat enough because I only ate sugar cakes, Xiaoluozi Tang's clay pot of mixed vermicelli and egg, and hot pot. I didn’t eat steamed buns, fried dough sticks, etc. I think these can be found everywhere. I just wanted to try something I had never eaten before, but there was none! Fortunately, I had Nanchang cuisine at noon and was very satisfied! So when you go to Nanchang, just go for the Nanchang cuisine, the rest is just average. Tengwang Pavilion looks nice at night, but I was too focused on finding delicious food at night, so it was like I wasted my time. Overall, relax, there are still many places left, we will see you again when we have time and opportunity!

Original niche town, lock him in‼️‼️‼️‼️ Seen too many refined towns in the south of the Yangtze River after packaging❤️‍🔥Seeing such a town that has not been developed much is really a surprise🌈🍰It is indeed difficult to take into account both development and historical protection. As a tourist, the more such towns, the better‼️‼️

#passionpassport Likeng Ancient Village named because it is a village dwelled by Li families, is about 12 km away from Wuyuan County. It is famous for the Huizhou Style architecture which brings a peaceful and leisure atmosphere to people. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the Ming and Qing Dynasties architectures are built along the river. The white walls and the deep blue roofs decorated with stone roads and green trees. The arch bridges cross over the banks and are reflected into the river as a circle. All of these form a picturesque scenery. #passionpassport #travelinspiration #beautifuldestinations
