A 2-day, 1-night guide to off-the-beaten-path travel in Pingnan, Fujian Province is here!
Reverse travel during the Dragon Boat Festival! In this drizzly plum rain season,
dive into the ancient villages,
spent 2 days with friends in the village, where time passed very slowly,
unexpectedly, the village is so beautiful even in the light rain
(Of course, it is still recommended to visit when the weather is clear!)
Sharing the itinerary of these two days and one night in Pingnan
p1-6 Longtan Ancient Town
p7-11 Xiadi Village
p12-13 Siping Village
p14-17 Yuanyangxi Waterfall Coffee
🏠Homestay: Senkedi Xiashan Homestay
A super beautiful homestay, we booked a detached house
Every window is as beautiful as a painting
Xiadi Village is super quiet at night, really feels like a good rest
The homestay also has a coffee house with cats and dogs
And things here are cheap and good!!
Travel sequence⬇️
From Quanzhou to Pingnan, a 3-hour and 42-minute drive
It's really tiring, it's recommended to take the high-speed train, you can rent a car locally
day1
Check into Xiadi Village➡️Visit Xianfeng Bookstore
It takes about an hour to walk and take photos in Xiadi Village
➡️Longtan Ancient Town, 47 minutes drive from Xiadi Village
The ancient town is well-developed, with more people, and there are hydrangeas at the door of 47 Tree Homestay! Great for taking photos~
➡️Siping Village, 15 minutes drive from Longtan Ancient Town
Each of the three villages has its own characteristics, and they are all not large in size, every corner is pretty photogenic! We didn't arrange much time, and reserved a day for Yuanyangxi. Otherwise, it would be enough to visit 2 villages in one day, just wander around leisurely, take deep breaths of oxygen, very healing!
day2
Head to Yuanyangxi Scenic Area, a 50-minute drive
Buy a combo ticket for the scenic area: ticket + elevator + coffee 99 yuan/person
Maybe because of the bad weather, the waterfall coffee was a bit disappointing
The waterfall is big, and it's blissful to breathe oxygen in the forest
See you next time when the weather is clear~
Fuji and the ancient villages really match well! Took a lot of beautiful photos with good friends, casually snapping pictures
How has such a hidden gem not been discovered yet!! Really don't need to leave the province to feel the windy places~
ps The food is all very average, it's recommended to bring your own snacks and instant noodles
