When traveling to Wuyuan now, the most recommended thing is to watch the rapeseed flowers. There are currently many scenic spots to visit in Wuyuan, but in the season when the rapeseed flowers bloom, there will definitely be a swarm of people to see the rapeseed flowers, and the scenery is spectacular and worth it.
But you can also choose other attractions to watch.
A quick look at Wuyuan belongs to Jiangxi but has the blood of Huizhou on the other side of the mountain. Photos of golden rapeseed flowers are not enough to summarize Wuyuan. Green mountains and green water, pink walls and black tiles are its main colors.
Wuyuan is a collection of Hui-style villages. Since ancient times, both businessmen and Confucianists have emerged from the mountains and fields. The mottled old houses reveal the illustrious past. The beautiful bells and bells have a Jiangnan charm that is better understood than expressed in words.
Whether you are a lover of ancient architecture or a seeker of local culture, you will be deeply fascinated by it.
Everyone's view of Wuyuan may be very different. If you are disappointed because you only visited the famous attractions, don't blame the tourism developers or you arrived later than others.
Wuyuan is a huge place, and no guide has yet been able to exhaust it all. There are far more “unseen” villages than you might imagine. This is an ideal destination for in-depth travel, and it also tests whether travelers “know how to play.”
Almost all the scenic spots on the east route of Wuyuan are accessible by shuttle bus, so they are naturally well developed and are inevitably crowded with tourists. The rural roads are crowded around the Qingming Festival, and the daily itinerary may not be completed 100% as expected.
If you want to have a great time, remember this rule: avoid the most famous villages and go to villages that are further away and have fewer buses.
By arranging the route reasonably, you can get the best of the Eastern Front in one day.
Moon Bay is free. Only 5 kilometers away from the county seat, Moon Bay is a must-stop on the eastern route. There is a crescent-shaped oasis between the quiet lake and green trees and fields.
Standing on the side of the road, you can already see its shape clearly, but the best viewing point is on the hillside next to it. The "Moon" can only be seen completely from a high place.
During the rapeseed season around Qingming Festival, there are private bamboo rafts (20 yuan/person, 40 minutes). One bamboo raft can seat 5 people.
Attractions included in the Likeng Pass If Likeng is your first sight of Wuyuan, you will inevitably be disappointed - the running water is far from clear, and the high-speed railway running across the entrance of the village is also very unpleasant. The streets are full of vendors selling souvenirs and snacks, even the ancient buildings
It is also filled with old furniture for sale, and the commercial atmosphere is pervasive.
Ding Yutang and Dafudi are the two main ancient buildings in the village. The former is a commercial house and the former residence of Li Ruicai in the early Qing Dynasty; the latter is an official residence, built during the Xianfeng period, and the wood carvings are more exquisite than Ding Yutang.
Walking inside, the Shenming Pavilion, built in the late Ming Dynasty, was the place where villagers used to discuss matters and make complaints (they would gather here every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to judge right and wrong).
Likeng is famous for its small bridges and flowing water. The so-called bridges are just strips of stone or wooden boards across the river. Only at the intersection of the two rivers next to Shenming Pavilion can there be a real stone arch bridge - Tongji Bridge, which is endlessly famous here.
The tour guide's explanation will let you understand the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" staged by the bridge piers and the stream.
Attractions included in the Wangkou Pass During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wangkou was an important water transport terminal and commercial distribution center. Merchant ships from Raozhou, Jiujiang, Poyang and other places came one after another to transport food, cloth, daily necessities, etc., and then transferred them to land.
All over Huizhou.
The number of tourists here is much less than Likeng. The Yongchuan River passes through the village, Henan is Xiangshan, and Hebei is the village.
The thousand-year-old ancient street runs through the entire village. The names of the alleys on both sides of the ancient street reveal the industries they were engaged in in the past, such as Liquor Lane, Chaixin Lane, Gambling Lane, etc.
The Yu Family Ancestral Hall is the biggest attraction in Wangkou. It was built during the Qianlong period. It is a three-entry building with a brick and wood structure and is connected by a patio.
The wood carvings are real treasures. The brackets, chisels, and sparrows are all exquisitely carved. The most exciting thing is the round and round wood carvings on the beams and squares, which are of extremely high craftsmanship.
Entrance fee to Huangling is 120 yuan, one-way/round-trip cable car is 60/100 yuan, package ticket is 145 yuan, explanation is 50 yuan. Huangling Village, surrounded by mountains, used to have the custom of sunbathing in autumn.
On the bamboo plaque, bright red peppers and golden rice and soybeans are dried.
However, after tourism development, this unique cultural symbol gradually changed its flavor and became an outlier among all villages in Wuyuan.
In the name of "protection", villagers moved collectively down the mountain. Developers bought thousands of acres of terraced fields and hired villagers to plant rapeseed flowers. In autumn, they asked villagers to go up the mountain and put peppers on the eaves to "dry" them for tourists.
Huangling has become a theme park with villages but no life. The vitality you see is just decoration.
But I have to admit that this place has the right time and location. Even if the tickets are expensive and even if they know that it is artificially shaped, tourists who flock here can still be immersed in the beautiful scenery.
The 500-meter-long "Visiting Ancient Village Sky Street" is the core of the scenic spot. Sunbathing in autumn is no longer exclusive to autumn. No matter what season, there are always a few rooftops sparsely basking in red peppers. The No. 3 viewing platform near "Tian Street" is
A good location to take photos of "autumn sun".
