Compared with the yellow color in spring, the autumn colors in Wuyuan are actually more bright and colorful.
The most famous autumn colors in Wuyuan are the sunny autumn in Huangling.
Autumn sun drying is a typical agricultural custom. In many mountainous areas, farmers hang crops in front of and behind their houses to dry their crops. Nowadays, this custom is gradually fading away. Only Huangling has turned autumn sunbathing into a preserved feature. In addition, there are nearly 200 different ancient buildings in the ancient village. Every household in Huangling has three floors, which is different from the traditional two-story buildings at the foot of the mountain. The third floor is a "drying building" for drying agricultural products.
Huangling is actually an ancient village with a big hotel. All residential buildings, if they are not shops or show flats, then they are definitely hotel rooms. There are a variety of rooms, and there are even single-family ancient houses. Peeking out of the window, you can see that the interior is really antique. So when you book online, if you choose Huangling Meisu, you will live in the village. The hotel rooms only have the most basic facilities, ensuring a good night's sleep and a hot shower. Best of all, the hotel is pet-friendly.
The ticket office is at the bottom of the mountain and Huangling is on the mountain. There are buses to take tourists up. According to the GPS, the ticket check-in point is on the mountainside, and only those staying at the hotel can drive to the mountain parking lot. Hotel employees (probably the aborigines of Huangling) will come to help with luggage. It's purely human transportation, because the hotel is the village, and the village is the hotel. All the rooms are scattered in high and low houses, and the trolley suitcases are useless. Every time the Four King Kongs travel, the amount of luggage is frightening, and they secretly feel sad for the villagers all the way.
Huangling as a whole has an open attitude towards bringing pets. During our three-day stay, there was no place where pets could not go with us.
Whether it's a school in an ancient town, a house in the autumn sun, or a bar, The Four King Kongs is an eye-opener.
Wandering around Huangling Village, there are many steps, so you can spend about half a day watching them carefully. The best viewing platforms are mostly located at high altitudes, allowing you to have a panoramic view of the green tiles, white walls and autumn colors.
Tianjie is the main road of Huangling Village, and the shops are concentrated there. Along Tianjie and out of the archway, there are two suspended suspension bridges. When you walk past, you will see a stretch of terraced fields. With the sky, yellow, green, blue and white, it is colorful again.
There is a stone path that visitors can walk along, and the walk around the mountainside ends in less than half an hour.
There is a teahouse in the mountains, but few people go in. This teahouse has a small balcony where you can see the scenery of the entire valley. Looking at the ancient village from a distance is another experience.
When it came to eating, we chose to eat at a time when the crowds were not at peak, so that we could bring our stuffed dolls to eat with us. After dinner, you can even take pictures of the night view. Most of the tourists who go to Huangling are on day trips, and the streets and alleys become quiet in the evening. The temperature drops at night, and in the cool air, watching the outline of Huangling depicted by neon lights is another sight.
"Wuyuan" is a collective, including many scattered villages. In Wuyuan, there are many villages that have been over-developed, and there are also many good places that have not been discovered. After leaving Huangling, the friends who gathered for a short time went their separate ways. Some rushed to Shicheng to take pictures of red maples, some went to Likeng, while the small group went to Sixiyan, which is composed of two villages. village.
Sixiyan Village is actually two villages at the front and back, connected by a small river and a road.
The parking lot is in Yancun, and there is a battery car connecting the two villages in the scenic area. As a service dog owner, of course we choose to hike. A TV series has been filmed here. During the rapeseed season, the large field of rapeseed flowers between the two villages is very eye-catching.
Walking from Yancun to Sixi Village, you meet Brother Buffalo on the road
This place is relatively primitive, with no commercial atmosphere and is purely residential. The small group came across five primary school students, and they took them on a tour of the village.
Five children, their childish words are pure, and they accompany each other warmly. Not only did he take us to visit the old houses of various neighbors, but he was also keen to deal with our four kings. He was truly the diplomatic ambassador of Sixi Village.
While walking through the alleys in the village, I didn't see any shops, but there were many houses. Once I walked in, I found that they actually had souvenirs to buy. There are crispy scones and chrysanthemums that disperse the wind and heat. The guy selling chrysanthemums was simple and good-tempered. We were just passing by to borrow the restroom, and while chatting, he explained to us how to drink chrysanthemums.
The chrysanthemums here were once used as tribute tea, and they also have a very impressive name called "Emperor Ju", which was given by Emperor Guangxu.
Wuyuan HuangjuBrother Taiping and Jin Ren chatted for a while, and everyone sat down unconsciously. Finally, each of them bought a box of royal chrysanthemums and went home. Indeed, has a longer floral aftertaste after drinking it, which is more to my liking than Hangzhou White Chrysanthemum.
Brother Daihua has been sitting on an interesting chair. I didn’t know much and curiously researched it, only to find out that it was a charcoal grilled chair with a built-in butt-warming function!
After leaving Sixiyan Village, we set off for our accommodation destination for the day – Zhangcun. If Huangling is famous for its autumn sun, then Zhangcun is famous for Banqiao.
Zhangcun itself is not very famous. Unless you are a photography enthusiast, ordinary tourists will not come here. Banqiao + morning fog + boatman + red lantern + village girl = standard for photography. When you wake up in the morning, you will see countless tripods waiting by the river, waiting for the best photography angle. Apart from Banqiao, there is not much to see in Zhangcun, and the village itself is not big, so you can complete the tour in half a day.
What is the biggest treasure of Zhangcun, apart from the Banqiao, is a B&B. The B&B has an interesting name, “见外”, but the service staff inside are not only indifferent, but also very enthusiastic. I accidentally found this B&B online, and it was only because I came here that I could see the view of the bridge in the mist.
The boss brother is from Nanchang and is a veteran. He picks up a glass of wine and talks around the fire in the evening, which is very enjoyable. There is also an Alaskan dog under the same roof - Brother Daqian, it is said that he is the boss of the village, no dog can beat him, but he is extremely docile when he sees us.
The B&B was newly opened, and the whole air was filled with the smell of "freshness" and "cleanness." I felt bad even if the dog lost a hair, so I hurried to pick it up. The decoration is a mix of modern + antiques, which is just what I like as a dog slave.
That night, we were the only family in the entire B&B, and it felt like going home. The food cooked by the aunt in the store is very delicious, salty, fresh and spicy. The status of Jiangxi food in my heart has gradually risen to a new level. After returning to Shanghai, I took my friends to eat it for a long time. Jiangxi cuisine, unfortunately, is not as good as eating out.
Kind tips
If you plan to go to Zhangcun to visit Banqiao, it is best to ask the locals for the specific time. Generally speaking, starting from 6 o'clock in the morning, there will be a large number of photography groups waiting for their seats. In my memory, the boss said that when the morning light is good, you can also produce good works. The dog slave secretly believes that looking at the bridge in the mist is the most poetic.
The Banqiao is not long and the river is not wide, but if you take a photo, it will be a painting.
Summarize:
Wuyuan in the spring and autumn has its own beauty, and it is also a very pet-friendly place. But for furry kids who love to run, the terrain is limited and their range of activities is relatively restricted. However, for the small group of Chaibak, in line with the belief of "taking them all over the land of China", they still have to weed this picturesque land once.
Useful TIPS:
When watching morning fog, be careful not to let your dog near the water source for a long time. Fog can easily cause bronchitis.
