Yaoli Ancient Town is the birthplace of Jingdezhen ceramics. It is known as the "source of porcelain, hometown of tea, and sea of forests" and is a national historical and cultural town.
Surrounded by mountains, the primeval forest is lush and deep, with small bridges, flowing water, birds singing, waterfalls and springs, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.
There are a large number of famous residences from the Qing Dynasty in the village and town. The Ming and Qing Commercial Street is one of the most prosperous commercial streets on the ancient Huizhou Avenue. There are also ancient bridges and ancient docks.

Some scenic spots in the ancient town are chargeable, but visiting the ancient town and village is free. There is not much commercial atmosphere like many ancient towns here, and it seems to still retain the original ancient flavor, which is worth a visit. Speaking of ancient towns, Dali, Lijiang, and Fenghuang ancient towns are complained a lot. For the sake of profit, they are seriously commercialized. There are no aboriginal residents in the town. Some shops have been developed outside Yaoli Ancient Town, some of which have not officially started business, and some have average business. Going further in, you will find the real ancient village, free. There are few shops in the village, and some are only small shops for villagers to buy things. You can stroll through the stone-paved alleys hundreds of years ago and admire the scattered courtyards (some courtyards charge a unified entrance fee).
If I have to find something bad about Yaoli Ancient Town, I would only say that it is too far away, and it takes more than an hour to get there from the city.
Everyone says that the scenery described in the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is here. I searched for a long time on the Internet, but I didn't see any material showing that Fang Wenshan or Jay Chou had ever said this. But the saying that the place described in "Blue and White Porcelain" is Yaoli Ancient Town is not official propaganda, but netizens who have been to Yaoli Ancient Town spontaneously said so, which shows from one side that Yaoli is indeed worthy of its reputation.
The best places to check in at Yaoli Ancient Town are the Bench Bridge and the Dragon Scale Dam. The Bench Bridge is really like a huge wooden bench, which can be disassembled when there is a flood; and the Dragon Scale Dam is definitely the most unforgettable place. The best time to come to Yaoli Ancient Town is when it rained a little a few days ago. The water in the Dragon Scale Dam is very sufficient and magnificent; at the same time, the water volume is not exaggerated to wash away the Bench Bridge. At this time, the viewing index is the best.
The sky is blue and misty, in fact, Dongbu is more beautiful, but China-TravelNote cannot add scenic spots, it can only be put in the travel notes.
The scenic spots in Yaoli are basically on both sides of the river. The characteristic of Huizhou is that the outside of the houses is more beautiful than the inside. In Yaoli, there are only a few spots where you need to buy tickets, so whether to buy it depends on your needs.
It is recommended to stay for one night, there is another attraction at night.
Yaoli in the early morning has a different flavor under the morning mist.
Yaoli Ancient Town is a famous historical and cultural town located in Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province, and is also an important cultural heritage site in China. The ancient town was built in the late Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Yaoli Ancient Town is located in the center of the world cultural heritage sites of Huangshan, Lushan, Xidi and Hongcun, and is famous for its unique scenery and cultural heritage. The ancient town is located in the south of Xiangshan and the north of Shishan. The Yao River runs through the east and west. Hundreds of ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are distributed along the river, just like being in a beautiful landscape painting.
Yaoli Ancient Town is located in Fuliang County, hidden in the mountains. A river of neither width nor narrow runs through the river. There are several bridges of different styles on the river: the tall iron arch bridge seems to have been abandoned and no one cares about it; the bench bridge commonly seen in northern Jiangxi is a holy place for taking photos and is also suitable for sitting and dazed; the wind and rain covered bridge is a gathering place for the old people in the town to chat after dinner; the high platforms on both sides of the stone bridge are a good place for villagers to dry pickled vegetables; jumping bridges are not only a good place to play in the water, but also a stage for dogs to quarrel and fight; there are also several wide and narrow stone embankments extending to the center of the river and even to the other side of the river, which is really a paradise for children to play in the water. In addition to the stone embankment, there are also stone slab paths on both sides of the river that are flush with the water surface, where you can play in the water everywhere. There are many large camphor trees with lush branches and leaves on both sides of the river that extend above the river surface, reflecting long green shadows in the water. Behind the trees and bridges, there are mountains. Going deeper into the two banks, there are countless winding alleys and villagers' homes. It's like being in a maze, and you often find yourself stuck on a road. There are two ancestral halls in the ancient town. The Cheng Clan Ancestral Hall is the site of the Anti-Japanese Mobilization Conference and the Yaoli Museum, which are charged. The other ancestral hall, the Wu Clan Ancestral Hall, is open to visitors. The ancient town has a strong atmosphere of life. Not to mention that compared with the ancient towns and cities that have been penetrated by commerce, such as Fenghuang, Dali, and Lijiang, even compared with the nearby Xidi and Hongcun, it seems more simple and soothing, and of course smaller in scale, with a taste of being kept in the boudoir and unknown to the public. Compared with the Tongli and Nanxun ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Yaoli seems more simple and has a more rural atmosphere. In the morning, you can see leisurely old hens digging pits and lying in the sun. At noon, rows of sheets are hung on the clothes drying poles by the river. At dusk, women wash clothes and vegetables by the river. In the evening, old people chat in the covered bridge. Even late at night, there are still a group of old men gathered on the street, seemingly discussing the important matter of ancestor worship.
In most ancient towns, which are now full of commercial
Yaoli still retains the past years
The ancient town is peaceful and simple
Surrounded by mountains, like a painting
The most distinctive feature of Yaoli Ancient Town is its tranquility. The second most distinctive feature is its clouds and mist. It can be said that the most beautiful scenery of Yaoli Ancient Town is Misty Yaoli.
This is also one of the filming locations for "The Red Star".
Yaoli Ancient Town is rich in Gan-style architectural tourism resources and is known as the "source of porcelain, hometown of tea, and sea of forests". It was listed as a provincial nature reserve in Jiangxi Province on April 2, 2001. On October 9 of the same year, it was approved as a provincial scenic spot in Jiangxi Province.
There is no entrance fee for just visiting Yaoli Ancient Town. But if you want to visit the surrounding attractions, you need to buy tickets at the visitor center in the parking lot, which I personally don't think is necessary.
Yaoli Ancient Town is located in Fuliang County, a county of Jingdezhen. Yaoli's ancient name is "Yaoli", which is named because Jingdezhen is the birthplace of ceramics. As early as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there were handicraft workshops producing ceramics here. I don't know why, but I think both Fuliang and Yaoli are very nice and poetic. The ancient town of Cicha is located on Xiangshan Mountain in the south and Shishan Mountain in the north. A winding and clear Yao River runs through the east and west. Hundreds of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered along the river, with flying eaves and corners, white walls and black tiles, hidden among the green mountains and green waters.
Yaoli Ancient Town⭐⭐ I guess Yaoli Ancient Town is the most ancient town-like place I have ever been to with the word "ancient town". It is very non-commercial❗very❗To be honest, it is just a very quaint village🍃Personally, I think there is no need to go to Yaoli Ancient Town specially. There is nothing particularly attractive to me in terms of food, scenery, local customs and customs, and the transportation is not convenient. If you have to go, you can go back and forth in one day [the bus station opposite Jingdezhen Station has small groups for one-day tours, or it may be available online]
As for the scenery, I think it is just average, nothing special. The village is small, along the Yao River are Hui-style buildings, surrounded by mountains, shrouded in fog at night, the village is silent, not like the nightlife of Fenghuang Ancient Town, but it is nice to sit quietly by the river and watch the night view.
Regarding food🥣, there are only two very special foods: alkaline cake and bitter oak tofu, which are available in almost every restaurant, and you can also take it home and make it yourself📌Speaking of this, I think the people in Yaoli Ancient Town are a bit of a rip-off. I don’t know if it’s because the people here make money from the few scattered tourists or what. We have been ripped off several times in succession. We have been ripped off from buying ice cream in the canteen, some snacks on the street, and even eating regular meals... There is nothing simple about it❗❗)
The business atmosphere of Yaoli Ancient Town is OK, and the natural scenery is also two mountains and one water with blue brick houses, which retains the original flavor of the ancient town. After the rain, Yaoli is quiet and green, with a pastoral scenery of small bridges, flowing water and people's homes.
The Yaoli Scenic Area is very large, including many attractions (combined tickets are required). If you only visit the "Yaoli Ancient Town", you do not need a ticket (I only visited the ancient town and it took two hours).
Yaoli Ancient Town is not big. Surrounded by mountains, there are old houses with blue tiles and white walls. The town still retains the ancient stone roads and shops from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the old sites of the Red Army. Here you can slow down, stay away from the hustle and bustle, slowly appreciate the scenery, listen to the voice of history, and count the passing of time...
If you only come to the ancient town, don't buy a ticket, otherwise you will lose a lot if you don't visit other scenic spots. The scenic spot ticket is a two-day ticket, which means you need to drive yourself to visit all the scenic spots, and the traffic is very congested and the roads are narrow during holidays, which is really frustrating.
There is a bus station opposite Jingdezhen East Station. There is a bus to Yaoli Ancient Town at 8 o'clock. The fare is 20 yuan. The package ticket of Yaoli Ancient Town is 110 yuan and the half ticket is 55 yuan. But I think it is more cost-effective to buy them separately. It was raining when we went there. There was a lot of fog on the mountain. There were few people because of the rain, but it felt quiet, and I could better feel this quaint town.
I thought Yaoli Ancient Town would be crowded during the Spring Festival, but unexpectedly there were not many tourists. It felt peaceful and tranquil, like a girl in seclusion, beautiful and delicate. It was not as bustling and noisy as the ancient villages of Wuyuan, and the commercial atmosphere was not particularly strong, more original. Walking on the ancient road paved with bluestone, admiring the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing dynasties with white walls and blue tiles, and listening to the gurgling sound of the Yao River, you can definitely feel the elegant charm of the thousand-year-old town.
The visitor center introduces a large forest waterfall and other scenic spots. If you have 2 days, it is recommended to arrange the itinerary reasonably.
Free tickets, the tour time is about 2 hours, the residential area here is relatively primitive, and the commercial atmosphere is not very strong
The ancient town is not big, and the other four attractions are quite far away, so you need to drive there. Many local people can take you there.
Yaoli, formerly known as "Yali", was named after the birthplace of Jingdezhen ceramics and has abundant tourism resources.
The porcelain plate painting is very shocking. Jingdezhen provides a good entrepreneurial space for students. The students' works are very good. I want to make a set of porcelain tableware by myself, but I don't know what the process is and which kiln I should contact😄
Very nice ancient town, you don't need to buy tickets to go around the whole town
Deyaoli Ancient Town is also beautiful at night! It’s raining but it’s beautiful…
If you want to go, go, it's worth it. You won't regret it!
If you don't enter the old houses or visit the attractions that require driving, there is no entrance fee in Yaoli. We arrived at noon and walked along the river, which was very pleasant. There are countless restaurants along the river. It is said that the food here is very delicious. At noon, the restaurants were full of tourists from all over the world.
Yaoli Ancient Town is a scenic spot in Yaoli Scenic Area. It is not bad. Fangmei Old House has exquisite wood carvings and is worth a visit.
At 1:00 p.m., I went to catch the only remaining bus to Yaoli Ancient Town. When I arrived at the short-distance bus station, I saw the timetable next to the ticket window. It clearly stated that the only bus to Yaoli Ancient Town was at 8:00 a.m., and the ticket price was 20 yuan. I asked the ticket seller, and she said there were no more buses, only one in the morning.
It took about 40 minutes to get to Yaoli Ancient Town from Jingdezhen.
So if you miss the bus to Yaoli Ancient Town, you can still consider taking a black car for 25 yuan, because they are almost the same and will not delay your time. First, you will pass a short commercial street with inns and shops on both sides. Going further in, you will come to an open area similar to a square, and then the ancient town will appear in front of you. It is still a little different from the ancient town in your mind, because the road to the ancient town is really small, and it makes you feel like a rural area at first? Well, since you are here, let's go. You should know that Yaoli Ancient Town is a Hui-style building. This Hui-style building is mainly gray and white, very retro. Walking along the path, the pictures of the ancient town will really appear in front of you one by one. Although it is very shabby, it has a sense of picture, which will make you think of many stories and contents. It feels like there is a painting everywhere in front of you. Because it is an ancient town, many art students studying fine arts are sketching here. In this way, I passed through every alley in the ancient town. The river in the ancient town is particularly beautiful and the water is particularly clear. Many local villagers use water directly to wash clothes or wash vegetables in it. I walked and took photos along the way. It was past lunch time and I wanted to eat there, but when I asked about the price, it was still a bit of a rip-off. A small portion of alkaline rice cake was 15 yuan.
An ancient town built along the river, it is bustling, but walking on the stone road will give you a sense of tranquility. Here is the departure timetable from Fuliang Bus Station to the ancient town for your reference.
It exceeded my expectations! I stayed in Yaoli Ancient Town with my colleagues for one night during the National Day holiday. We didn't buy tickets, but just played around the ancient town. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, simple and quiet. There are no bars, no cafes, only gurgling water, and people washing and drying by the Yao River. The sunset and the morning glow warmly sprinkled on the small wooden bridge, the bluestone road, and the white walls and tiles in the ancient town, and a beautiful pastoral scenery was ready to emerge! I can't help but sigh that Jiangxi is a good place, with beautiful mountains, waters and scenery!
It's a beautiful town with picturesque scenery. The Yao River is crystal clear and the original life of the aboriginals is like living in a painting!
The scenery is beautiful and the food is delicious, especially the local salty rice cake, which is super delicious. I stayed in the Guzhen Hotel, the scenery is super good, I recommend the river view room, you can see the river behind when you open the window.
The ancient town is located along the Yao River. The water of the Yao River is crystal clear and there are many small fish and shrimps. You can see people washing clothes, vegetables and dishes everywhere. You can experience the authentic life in the ancient town.
Strolling through the bluestone-paved streets of the ancient town will make you feel as if you have stepped into the historical picture scroll of Ming and Qing society.
The night view of the ancient town is another scene, with a gentle breeze and small lights. Beside the Yao River and under the covered bridge, the sound of the guqin slowly flows out, and the naughty crickets also come to respond. After a day of hard work, people sit on the benches on the bridge, watching the scenery, listening to music and chatting, and there are a few dogs wagging their tails. The mountains, the water, and the people are all in my dreams! The night view of the ancient town is so beautiful that I can't take enough photos. Every shot is a painting. In this quiet ancient village, there is such a good place. I hope it will not be commercialized and continue to retain the quaint flavor of the ancient village.
I always feel like something is missing in Yaoli after the reconstruction?
The scenery is nice and the mountain road is long. I went there at the end of April 2017. It was not hot, but a little sunny. Some businesses were still under renovation.
Yaoli, formerly known as "Yalili", is the main birthplace of Jingdezhen ceramics. Compared with the famous Wuyuan, Yaoli is more like a girl who is kept in seclusion and unknown to the world. The simple and pure landscape of the south of the Yangtze River is quiet, elegant, and ethereal, full of unimaginable temptation...
During the trip to Yaoli, I didn’t feel lonely because I found the “Huatai Cottage”. Meeting each other is fate. I wish Brother Pan and his family happiness forever, and good people a peaceful life!
There are mountains, streams, ancient trees, and tall ancient horse-head walls, and the atmosphere of Huizhou is still strong.
They are all Hui-style buildings, and no tickets are required outside the scenic area. It is very similar to the villages in Wuyuan
The first picture is important.
It feels like there is only one river in Yaoli, but this river is still very nice.
When going to Yaoli, be sure to take a taxi carefully and don't call for a black taxi (for example, if you send a request for a ride, some black taxis may take it and say it costs about 70 or 80 yuan per person).
Take bus 905 from North Station to Fuliang County Bus Station. It costs 6 RMB to get to the entrance of Yaoli Scenic Area, and the journey takes about 70 to 80 minutes.
It is best not to buy tickets, firstly because they are expensive and secondly because there are few attractions.
It takes about an hour to stroll along the river and take pictures.
Yaoli at night is so beautiful even in photos, let alone recorded with the naked eye. You really need to remember it carefully with your eyes. I am lucky to be able to integrate into such a thousand-year-old village in my lifetime.
Yaoli gives me a very primitive feeling, not commercialized, and the aboriginals live in the village, which is really rare. There is Yaochi in heaven, and there is Yaoli on earth! Well deserved!
It was raining heavily, and the road in the ancient town was a little difficult to walk on. However, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, so the family just walked quietly.
There is no entrance fee outside the scenic area, only inside some houses. We were interested in taking photos of the outdoor scenery, so we stayed in Yaoli Ancient Town for one night and then went to Wuyuan.
The scenery and culture are good! But not as good as expected!
The pictures have been retouched. Similar to other ancient towns, it is not as quiet as imagined, but not so noisy either. It belongs to the minority among the ancient towns.
There is too much commercial atmosphere, and the popularization of humanities is not handled well
It is recommended to travel on your own, not with a group
It is worth praising that the local people are quite good, and passers-by will answer your questions, but you should be careful when shopping in shops.
The advantage of not following the conventional route is that you can always encounter unexpected surprises. On the way to Wuyuan, I came across the ancient town of Yaoli, where the ancient palace kiln was located. The people there are simple and the scenery is beautiful. A big river flows through the town, and the villagers' daily lives also go on along the river. The Hui-style residential buildings with white walls and black tiles always give people a feeling of traveling through time.
It is said that the mountains and forests are dense and the scenery is magnificent. 95 families and 648 species of woody plants thrive here, and hundreds of wild animals reproduce and live in the forest. In fact, I didn't see it. I don't know if I went to a fake Yaoli. The government's tourism promotion is good. The several scenic spots in the ancient town are super scattered. You need to charter a car, and the cost is very expensive.
Apart from these, Yaoli is more like a back garden for locals to drive to cool off in the summer. Wanghu Lake, Meiling Mountain, small bridges, flowing water, ancient roads and people's homes, basically all the pictures of beautiful mountains and clear waters in your mind are here~
Don't buy tickets, just play around in the ancient town. The scenery is pretty good. Well, it's a bit like the most primitive Lijiang Fenghuang, which is an undeveloped place. The best place is still by the river. Sit by the watchtower to eat and bask in the sun, the water is very clear and beautiful.
Shicheng and Yaoli are separated by only one mountain, and the roads are winding, but the road conditions are good. It takes about half an hour to drive to Yaoli Ancient Town in the evening. The sky is clear, and the clouds are all over the sky, which are reflected in the water, and the ancient houses, covered bridges, and tree shadows on both sides are set off, which is quiet and beautiful. The ancient town is not big and few tourists come. Walking along the Yao River in the ancient alleys paved with bluestone slabs, you can leisurely feel the ancient style and charm of the ancient town, which is particularly comfortable and pleasant.
A particularly pitfall scenic spot. If you only visit the ancient town, you don't need to buy tickets. You need tickets to enter the scenic spot. The ancient town is very small and you can visit it in half an hour. The ticket is a joint ticket for several scenic spots (no separate tickets are sold). You have to charter a car to go to other scenic spots except the ancient town (there are no minibuses or medium buses to the scenic spots, either charter a car or drive yourself). If you only visit the ancient town, it is not recommended to go. It takes more than an hour from Jingdezhen. The East Bus Station departs at 7 am. At 3:30 pm, there is a bus passing by the entrance of the scenic spot and you can return to Jingdezhen. In addition, you can only wait for the bus to Ehu Lake at the entrance of the scenic spot, and then transfer to the bus to Jingdezhen at Ehu Station. Special reminder: Once the ticket for this scenic spot is sold, it will not be refunded, even if it has not been used. Many of the scenic spots in the ancient town that require tickets to enter are closed and not open. So if you only visit the ancient town, this 150 yuan ticket is considered a waste and a donation of love. The ticket office also refused to refund the ticket.
The ancient town has not been developed much, and it feels that the protection is not good enough. Overall it is good.
Yaoli is probably the worst among the ancient villages in southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi. The buildings are aesthetically pleasing and overdeveloped. The three paid attractions are all pitifully small and unremarkable. The town is remote and not worth a special trip.
It retains the style of an ancient town, without too much commercial injection, but it is a simple ancient town. The residents in the town are very cute. We met an old man who played the accordion and played a song for us.
I had never heard of this ancient town before I went there. It has a unique scenery.
There are flowing springs and waterfalls, green bamboo forests, overlapping mountains, white walls and black tiles, mossy tree shadows, and flowing water under small bridges. Time stands still here, and it feels like I have returned to my grandmother's house in my childhood, rocking and rocking to the river to listen to an endless ancient story.
Yaoli is a tourist attraction that you don't want to visit again after visiting it. I spent 150 yuan per person to buy a ticket for the attraction, but it turned out that there were not many paid attractions open at all. It was really a rip-off.
There is a small bus that arrives at the bus station at 7:30 in the morning. The ticket price is 15 yuan. After arriving, you can hire a motorcycle and return home around 2:00 in the afternoon.
The attractions with tickets are scattered and you need to hire a car to get there. Some people said it's not worth it, and I didn't really want to go around. So I took a bus and got off at the ancient town and walked around.
Yaoli, Fuliang County, Jingdezhen
One or two hours is enough to visit the ancient town...
Maybe I went to too many ancient towns in high school in Suzhou, such as Tongli, Luzhi, Nanxun, and Wuzhen.
I am afraid I will never feel anything for the ancient town again in this life...
Different looks under the same tone...
It is not very commercialized, but to put it bluntly, it is just someone else's town. City people always visit it like a tourist attraction, but in fact, if you visit the ancient town enough, it will really be just like that.
It's OK. It's not finished yet. It feels boring. The scenery on the road is beautiful
Yaoli is pretty good, not commercialized at all, and the ancient town doesn't feel very commercialized. People who say it's commercialized probably haven't been to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou, haha! I feel that there are too few things for sale, maybe it was because it rained when I went there, the alkaline water cake is good! After Jingdezhen to Ehu, charter a car for 200, all five attractions!
Yaoli Ancient Town is a natural oxygen bar. I like it very much. I feel relaxed and comfortable.
It was OK. It was the seventh day of the first lunar month when I went there. There were not many people and the flowers were in bloom...
First meeting with Yaoli
Different from the old town
This place seems to be undisturbed by the secular world.
The origin of porcelain, the hometown of tea, and the sea of forests
Small bridges, gurgling water, pure natural oxygen bar
Hui-style architecture that has been handed down from the middle of the Tang Dynasty to the present day
The river shines golden in the sunlight
Children playing in the water
The older generation chatted in front of their houses
As I walked, I felt more relaxed.
Experience the tranquility and leisure of Yaoli Ancient Town
Yaoli is the birthplace of Jingdezhen ceramics. If the whole Yaoli is a symphony, then every student sketching in Yaoli is a beating note. The spirituality of Yaoli comes from these beating notes.
It is an undeveloped village, but just because it is undeveloped, you can still go and have a look. Moreover, the scale and characteristics of this village are not as obvious as those of the Anhui style at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi, but it is original.
We didn't buy any tickets or visit any tourist attractions. We just toured the ancient town in an hour and booked a room in the town. Actually, we didn't have to stay here.
It is quaint, with small bridges and flowing water. There are not many tourists, the folk customs are relatively simple and very quiet.
Yaoli, formerly known as "Yaoli", had ceramic workshops as early as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and was named after its famous porcelain kilns. It was not until the beginning of this century that the porcelain kilns moved out and "Yaoli" was renamed Yaoli.
The Yaoli scenic spots are very scattered, mainly including: Yaoli Ancient Town (no tickets are required if you do not enter several ancient houses, and tickets for the old houses in the ancient town are sold separately for 60.00), Wanghu Ecological Tourist Area (tickets are required), Raonan Ceramic Theme Park (tickets are required), Meiling Leisure Resort (no tickets are required for the wharf, but required for Gaoling), a pass for all scenic spots is 150.00, there is no shuttle bus, so you can only drive or charter a car to play.
It is because it is not an overdeveloped tourist spot and the people are simple and friendly that it is worth visiting. Avoid weekends when there are few tourists.
The water in Yaoli is not very clear, but it is very clear in the mountains and forests behind. Overall it is good.
Yaoli Ancient Town has a lot more commercial atmosphere than Dongbu, but it is still better than the ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The children played in the water and fished, which was very happy.
I really like the Yaoli Scenic Area near Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. The scenery is natural and simple, with few commercial traces, which is better than the famous Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen. Wanghu in the scenic area is a forest oxygen bar, with fresh and pleasant scenery, which is definitely not to be missed. The ancient town is worth a visit. The folk customs are simple, there are small bridges and flowing water, and there are many well-known monuments. There are five areas in the entire scenic area, and the attractions are relatively scattered, so it is most convenient to charter a car. Before I went, I searched for guides on China-TravelNote. A netizen recommended Master Wu of Wujia Inn. I contacted Master Wu before I went. Because I had to stay in Jingdezhen, I communicated with Master Wu. He picked up the two of us at the hotel where we stayed in Jingdezhen at 7:30 in the morning, and went to Fuliang Ancient County Government first, and then rushed to Yaoli Scenic Area. The order was Wanghu, Meiling, Raonan, and Yaoli Ancient Town. Master Wu was the driver and tour guide throughout the journey, and he followed our pace completely. At noon, we had lunch together in Meiling. When the restaurant owner was preparing lunch, Master Wu took us to visit the attractions in Meiling. There was no delay at all. Master Wu sent us back to the hotel in Jingdezhen in the evening. It was a perfect day trip. The chartered car, driver and tour guide only cost 400 yuan for the whole day, which was really a good deal. I must recommend Master Wu. I will show you the photos I took and the contact information and photos of Master Wu that I took on China-TravelNote for your reference.
I personally prefer it, self-driving is much more convenient. The owner of the Dongyao Inn where we stayed took great care in decorating it! Hehe, it was very foggy when we went there, and it rained heavily in the early morning. The next day, Yaoli Ancient Town was very beautiful! The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you. The smoke from cooking rises, thousands of miles away across the river.
There are much fewer people than Likeng Jiangling. Many students who come here for sketching come here.
A very quiet town with undeveloped attractions. I like it very much. The ancient town is especially beautiful after the rain. It is a good place for literary and artistic B.
The infrastructure of the ancient town is not good, and the accommodation is very poor. The ancient town has not been well developed, but the advantage is that there are not many people, the style is original, and the cost is not very high. You must eat the alkaline water cake in the town, it is delicious. If you have requirements for accommodation, don't go there for the time being, and wait until it is well developed before going there.
I like places like this that are undeveloped and still retain their original ecology.
1.How to visit various scenic spots?
In addition to the ancient town, Yaoli Ancient Town also has scenic spots such as Raonan, Wanghu Lake, and Meiling. However, the various spots are far apart. If you don't drive yourself, it is basically difficult to visit on foot. The farthest waterfall is more than 13 kilometers away from the tourist center. Of course, you may also ask, why is there no shuttle bus in the scenic area? Yes, I didn't see it. So there are three ways for people without cars to visit: one is walking, the price is 0 yuan, two is renting a car, more than 200 yuan, and three is a motorcycle, 50 yuan per person. Choose the one that suits you.
2.What are the features?
①Nature. Super high vegetation coverage, fresh air, gurgling water, tea gardens, bamboo forests, and waterfalls.
② Characteristic residential buildings. The residential buildings at the junction of Jiangxi and Anhui have the characteristics of Hui-style architecture. Since commercialization is not serious, tourists can explore the combination of business and life.
③ Early stage of ceramics. Students who have studied geography or tourists who are interested in ceramics should have heard of "kaolin". Kaolin is the basic raw material for making porcelain, and this is the hometown of kaolin. Kaolin is also named after the place name of Gaoling, which is said to be named by Richthofen. In addition, if you are lucky, you can see the process of how to make glaze raw materials from ore. Kaolin, Yaoli glaze.
