The Traveling Feast
National Geographic named it one of the most beautiful villages in China.
🎈You must visit Wuyuan in the fall.
🌈When I arrived in Wuyuan, it was like stepping into a dreamy fairy tale world. Wuyuan in the fall is a colorful painting. The distant mountains are dyed red by maple leaves, contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds. The rice in the fields is golden, and the breeze stirs up waves.
🌟What fascinated me the most was the unique autumn drying scene. Between the white walls and black tiles of the Huizhou-style buildings, colorful crops are dried on bamboo mats, red peppers, yellow corn, orange pumpkins... It's like a gorgeous and colorful folk painting. The villagers shuttle busily among them, their faces filled with the joy of a bumper harvest.
💖Walking on the ancient stone road, feeling the tranquility and beauty of autumn. The scent of tea wafts from the small shops on the street, making people stop and taste. Here, time seems to stand still, and everything is so leisurely.
🥰Wuyuan in the fall, without the hustle and bustle of the city, only the purest natural beauty and the smell of fireworks. If you also yearn to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world, then you must come to Wuyuan in the fall, experience this most beautiful season in person, and I believe you will be deeply attracted by it and linger.

Walking in the crisscrossing alleys, there is a clear stream flowing by your side, and occasionally a few red carps are playing in the stream, and from time to time, you can hear people shouting loudly in the distance.
The food in Likeng is also mouth-watering. Ciba stuffed with meat, Qingming fruit (smart fruit), glutinous rice cake, and thin steam cake are all local specialties.

As the most beautiful countryside in China, Wuyuan, besides Huangling and Wunvzhou, the surrounding small villages are also very good

Wuyuan Trip: A Journey of Surprises and Regrets
From the moment we got off the high-speed train, we were amazed 😲. The bus could take us directly to the attractions we had been longing to visit. In Wuyuan, it felt like everything was meticulously prepared for tourists, making it extremely convenient 👍!!!
We mainly visited three attractions in Wuyuan: Likeng, Wunvzhou, and Huangling. Each one was so exhausting to explore thoroughly that our feet were sore haha 😅.
Wuyuan has many unique ancient towns, but we felt they were somewhat repetitive, mostly featuring small bridges and flowing water. So, we only chose Likeng. To be honest, Likeng is not particularly recommended 😕, as it is filled with a lot of commercialized stuff.
We stayed inside the Wunvzhou Scenic Area, so our itinerary there was very flexible 😜. We even watched two iron flower shows and could return to our room to rest whenever we were tired. Wunvzhou feels more suitable for a vacation. Besides the stunning golden iron flower show, the rest doesn't feel like regular tourist attractions, but the design within the scenic area is genuinely beautiful 👏. Moreover, all the hotels in Wunvzhou are uniformly managed, so everything is well-equipped.
As for Huangling, it took quite a long car ride to get there, and we took a taxi. Although there was a cable car to take us up, the Huangling Scenic Area is really huge, and it was super tiring for our feet 😭. There are high-altitude sports activities in Huangling, but we hesitated and didn't try them. Now, thinking back, we really regret it 😫. When we visited, it wasn't the autumn drying season, which is a special feature of Huangling. However, because it rained a little, the mist added a unique charm!
In summary, we enjoyed this trip 😃!

Wuyuan is worth visiting, but don't come in the summer
Wuyuan is definitely worth a visit, but really don't come in the summer.
The heat here is unbearable, the kind that makes you want to die as soon as you leave the train station.
There are carpool drivers outside the high-speed train station, charging 30 yuan per person, which is not expensive.
The distance from the high-speed train station to the scenic area is about 40 kilometers.
The prices for food and drinks in the scenic area are the same as in most tourist spots, not cheap, but not outrageously expensive either.
The hotel we chose includes a buffet breakfast, and the food is quite good.
The scenery here is indeed nice, especially at night,
If you have time, staying for a day or two is a good idea.
But coming in the summer really affects the travel experience, the hot and dry weather is frustrating.
It's better to visit in spring or autumn.

A quaint and beautiful village in Wuyuan—Zhangcun
Located in Sikou Town, 13 kilometers away from Wuyuan County, there is an obscure little mountain village—Zhangcun. Zhangcun is a niche and secluded hamlet that has gradually become known to the world with the implementation of Wuyuan's comprehensive tourism planning in recent years. Judging by its name, it seems to be a village brimming with camphor trees, a place hidden beneath the shade of greenery. However, that's not the case. The only eye-catching feature of the village is an ancient camphor tree on the east side of the village. The ancient tree is rugged and has witnessed many years. Its canopy is massive and imposing, suggesting that the village name might have originated from this tree.
Zhangcun is not large, and one can stroll through the entire village in less time than it takes to finish a meal. Entering the village is like stepping into an uninhabited land. The glittering stone paths snake through the village like serpents. The village is empty and silent, as if no one lives there, except for clusters of beautiful schoolchildren who are engrossed in their drawing lessons. The houses in the village, with their seemingly renovated yet orderly and meandering layout, add to the charm.
Zhangcun is nestled against the mountains and faces the water, tranquil and pleasant, a true pastoral scene! The Zhangxi River, over a hundred meters wide, flows quietly in front of the village. Due to the low water season in early winter, more than half of the river in front of the village has dried up. The riverbed is covered with withered aquatic plants, and the mottled meandering puddles add a touch of interest. Overlooking the entire village, with its green mountains and waters, Huizhou-style houses, and the uncarved appearance of the village, highlights the natural beauty of Zhangcun. It is said that Zhangcun was also the location for the exterior shots of the movie 'Sparkling Red Star'. Gazing at the long plank bridge spanning the Zhangcun River, it's as if the figure of Xiao Dongzi once again appears before our eyes.

Qingyuan Ancient Village
Qingyuan Ancient Village is located in Duanxen Township, northeast of Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, where the canyons are deep and secluded, as beautiful as the Peach Blossom Spring in Wuling, situated atop myriad mountains, secluded from the outside and overflowing within. It has been a chosen refuge for ancestors to avoid chaos, known as the 'Little Peach Blossom Spring'. In the center of the village stands a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, over 30 meters tall. A quiet stream flows through the village, dividing Qingyuan Ancient Village into east and west banks. There is a stone bridge over the stream, simple and rustic, flanked by tree shades, whitewashed walls, and black tiles; villagers are often seen by the stream washing clothes, vegetables, and dishes, men and women, young and old alike, making life extremely convenient.
