Wuyuan Autumn Sunning Trip: A Perfect Encounter between Ancient Towns and Countryside Just returned from Mount Huangshan, and upon hearing that Wuyuan was not far away, I impulsively bought a train ticket and embarked on this journey to find the homes that celebrate the autumn sunning tradition. Wuyuan is not just a single ancient town, but a charming city filled with numerous ancient town ambiences. This time, I chose two of the most representative attractions: Likeng and Huangling. Transportation Tips: Departing from Huangshan North Station, take a direct train to Wuyuan Station. Right outside the station, there is a chartered car service to Likeng Village for only 40RMB, super convenient! Likeng Ancient Town: Remember! There are two Likengs in Wuyuan, don't mix them up, we want to go to the one brimming with ancient town charm! Also, there are no pharmacies inside the scenic area, only one at the main entrance, which closes early, so remember to prepare common medications. The ticket price is 60 yuan, with a student discount at 30 yuan. Staying in Likeng Village, the guesthouses also provide shuttle service to and from the tourist center of the scenic area, which is really thoughtful! Accommodation Suggestions: Although the guesthouses in Likeng are a bit old, staying here allows you to better experience the tranquility of the ancient town. However, the dining options might be somewhat limited, and the local dishes may not suit everyone's taste. It is recommended to dine at the guesthouse's restaurant, which might be a bit better. Huangling Scenery: Huangling has two entrances, one halfway up the mountain and one at the top. I chose to stay in a village near the top of Huangling, where the homestays provide free shuttle service up and down the mountain, saving the cost of the cable car, which is really great! For tickets, if you take the cable car up, the price is 145, with a student ticket at 120; but if you stay on the mountain, you don't need a cable car ticket, only 120, with a student ticket at 60. Leixin Bridge: This is the filming location for 'Ode to Joy 2' where Xie Tong and Guan Guan visited Wuyuan! Standing on the bridge, the transparent glass walkway below overlooks the residences and terraced fields of Huangling. Although it's not the season for rapeseed flowers, the scenery here is still intoxicating. Accommodation Recommendation: I sincerely suggest staying in Huangling, not only for the convenience of sightseeing but also for enjoying the stunning night view. Haunted House Adventure: Don't forget to experience the haunted house! It's an upside-down house, with a slanted ground floor, walking on it feels like being drunk, wobbling around, super fun! Wuyuan Travel Route Recommendations: East Line: Moon Bay → Likeng → Wangkou → Xiaqi → Jiangling → Duanxin West Line: Wengong Mountain → Mandarin Duck Lake → Youshan Village North Line: Yancun → Sixi → Rainbow Bridge → Longtian Pagoda → Likeng Flower Viewing Spots: Jiangling, Moon Bay, Huangling, Chapingtai Food Tips: If, like me, you're not used to the local cuisine, don't worry, Huangling also has a Dicos, where you can stock up on some tasty food to avoid going hungry at night! This trip to Wuyuan has deeply impressed upon me the perfect fusion of ancient towns and countryside. Whether it's the tranquility of Likeng or the grandeur of Huangling, both are unforgettable. If you also want to find that peaceful and beautiful autumn sunning experience, why not take a trip to Wuyuan!

I have always preferred traveling in the off-season. The reasons why I recommend traveling to Huangling in the off-season are as follows: 1 There are not many people, so you don’t have to watch the crowds. The entire scenic spot is relatively quiet, so that you can better feel the spiritual shock of this ancient village. 2 also have autumn sun! In fact, there are no original residents living in the entire village, and only some villagers NPCs live here. So even though it is winter, the entire scenic spot will also have autumn sunbathing props put up for tourists, so you can see autumn sunbathing just like autumn! ! This makes people happy. 3. Prices will not rise, the service is better than in the peak season, and you can interact with NPCs in the scenic spot. Of course, the reason for the benefits of all this is because there are fewer people in the off-season. 4House prices nearby are cheap! ! We booked more than 100 per night, in the village at the foot of the scenic ropeway. The price is definitely not this during the peak season. The living environment is also good. Very convenient and easy to park. So, how can one not love Wuyuan in winter? I recommend everyone to visit this travel destination that has been recommended by National Geographic.
