Why Must You Go in 2025? "When you touch the yellowed creases of receipts at the supply cooperative, and the moment a herdsman stuffs wild strawberries into your hand on the grassland, you will understand—the so-called secret realm is never at the navigation endpoint, but in the wrinkles of human life untouched by algorithms." Disappearance Countdown: Eastern Fujian tourism light rail planned to extend to neighboring counties by 2026, risking commercialization of original villages; Cultural Living Fossil: Only 7 traditional wooden oil press inheritors remain countywide, average age 75; Ultimate Cost Performance: Entire trip with zero entrance fees, daily meals under 40 RMB, and 120 RMB to sleep in a historic warehouse!

Are you ready to embark on a journey through time? Today, I'm going to take you to a hidden gem in the mountains of Zherong County, Fujian - Changguan Village. Here, you'll find not only the quaint charm of traditional culture but also a modern vegetable plantation. Let's step into Changguan together and explore this serene and peaceful little village nestled in the mountains. Attraction Recommendations ① Youth Museum: The Youth Museum is a historical and cultural memorial hall that carries the legendary experiences of educated youths going to the countryside half a century ago. The main building of the Youth Museum is a two-story brick house with four bright red characters 'Youth Years' hanging above the door. Stepping into the Youth Museum, the old chairs, faded water bottles, and yellowed photos... The small room has been given a new definition, and the dusty old items are noticed once again. People listen to the stories of the educated youths here and feel the spirit of the youths. The Youth Museum is like a time tunnel, taking everyone back to those passionate years. ② Filial Piety Square: After exploring the Youth Museum, we can quickly see the Filial Piety Square located near the main road of Changguan Village. This is a cultural square themed around the spirit of simple filial piety. The walls of the square are filled with symbols of filial piety presented in the form of paper-cutting, and the pavilion of the square has chosen the traditional Hui-style architectural design, elegant yet approachable, subtly showcasing the spirit of filial piety and allowing the idea of simple filial piety to penetrate people's hearts. ③ Youde Archway: Passing through Filial Piety Square, we arrive at the old village of Changguan, where stands an archway over four hundred years old. This archway was built by You Pu for his father during his tenure as the Deputy Inspector of Guangdong. The then Inspector of Fujian, Yang Sizhi, bestowed the horizontal plaque with the words 'Noble Aspirations in Prosperous Times'. After more than four centuries of changes, this archway, like the spirit of filial piety of the You family, is deeply rooted in this land. Today, as we stroll on the ancient official road of Changguan, we can still feel the long and profound aura of righteousness under this weathered stone archway. 🍲④ Vegetable Base: This is a high-mountain vegetable plantation located near the village committee building of Changguan Village, across the street from the Youde Archway. It is a modern agricultural tourism area that integrates sightseeing, science education, and leisure health care, covering about 361 acres. In this lush plantation, modern sprinkler systems are everywhere, and vegetables with local characteristics such as summer radishes and cauliflower are grown. After visiting the cultural landscapes of Changguan Village, stepping into this soft soil and tasting the fragrance from the earth is also a wonderful experience. 💡Recommended Route: Zherong self-driving to Changguan Village (about 45 minutes by car)──Youth Museum──People's Auditorium──Filial Piety Square──Youde Archway──Vegetable Base

They are one of the largest and most ancient Han Chinese cultivated ancient terraced field communities in the eastern Fujian area. On the mountains with slopes between 30 to 50 degrees, the farmland follows the contour lines, layer upon layer like steps. The fields are small and irregular, resembling the bamboo hats worn by farmers while working, locally known as 'Douli Hills,' a typical 'frog can jump over three hills' fragmented field pattern. The thousand-acre terraces and Putou Village are built along the mountain, with the terraced and staggered mountain dwellings blending together.

The second stop is Xuelingwei Village, known as "China's Number One Paper-Cutting Village". As the hometown of Chinese folk culture and art, paper-cutting is the cultural treasure of Zherong County and the shining "Light of Eastern Fujian". Among them, Xuelingwei Village, with more than 400 years of paper-cutting cultural heritage, has revitalized intangible heritage to create a "fresh countryside and cultural creative fields", making it a must-visit place for rural ecological tourism. The village features spaces such as the Master Paper-Cutting Gallery, Paper-Cutting Training Hall, and Parent-Child Amusement Park, as well as homestays and special farm delicacies. On the return trip, it is recommended to stroll around the ancient city walls in the main urban area, walk through the park's food street, and experience the nightlife of the small town people. Gently touching the stones of the ancient city wall with your palm, listening to the babbling Longxi water, looking up, you can vaguely see the simplicity and ancient charm unique to Xiping ancient street. Walking along the creek to the Rainbow Bridge, the lively atmosphere of square dance songs and street vendors' calls can be heard from behind. Finally, a day's itinerary of wandering and eating on the food street can come to a close.

It turns out that there is such a place in Ningde... In this busy city, people always feel exhausted. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of urban life, why not take a trip to an ancient-style guesthouse, relax your body and mind, and enjoy the slow time. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the pavilions, towers and pavilions of the park, the bluestone slab road in front of the door, what comes into view is a group of ancient and quaint Huizhou-style buildings. The white walls and grey tiles, the carved window lattices, and the exquisite decorations make people feel as if time is going backwards, as if returning to the past. At night, the lanterns in the guesthouse are lit, and the faint light makes the entire courtyard appear more tranquil. Sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea, it seems to return to an ancient and mysterious era. Say goodbye to the busy city and come to this guesthouse 'Tao Ran Mountain Residence, Tao Ran Leisure.....' ●Address: No. 17 Dongshi Avenue, Zherong County, Ningde City, Fujian Province, Jiaxin Folk Culture Park
