Travel itinerary
🗺️Day 1: After arriving at Moganshan, go to the homestay to drop off your luggage and take a break. In the afternoon, go to Yucun Cultural Market, where there are many literary shops and you can find unique souvenirs. When you are tired of shopping, have some farmhouse food nearby.
