Between 7:15 and 7:30 in the morning, please gather and sign in at Exit 1 of Andemen Station on Nanjing Metro Line 1, where you will see the yellow China-TravelNote flag.

07:30

We got on the bus and set off on time at 07:30. On the way, the team members introduced themselves to each other, the team leader interacted with each other, and played group games. There was laughter and joy all the way.

12:00

Upon arrival at Nanping Village, enjoy a traditional Huizhou lunch (the TV series "Flavorful Origins" was filmed here), or explore on your own.
With a history exceeding 1,100 years, Nanping Village derives its name from the Nanping Mountain nestled against its southwest. Over 300 Ming and Qing dynasty residential buildings are arranged along 72 alleyways, forming a maze-like pattern. The village also boasts a substantial collection of ancestral, branch, and family ancestral halls, earning it the nickname "China's Ancient Ancestral Hall Architecture Museum."

This is a large ancient village with a thousand-year history. It is known as China's Film and Television Village because many famous films such as "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were shot here.

We savored history in this quaint village and captured our own beautiful moments.

3:00 PM

Depart for the foot of Mulishan Mountain and hike for about half an hour to the beautiful ancient alpine village of Mulishan. Witness the sunset and the evening glow, and savor this pure beauty. After your assigned room and dinner, you can stroll through this rustic village and enjoy the tranquility of Huizhou's night. Nights here feel like wandering alone in a fairyland, with occasional glances to the moonlight and stars for your companions.

Driving time: about 4.5 hours

Day 2: Muli Village → Zuyuan Village → Nanjing

08:30

Those who want to watch the sunrise should get up early. The sea of ​​clouds in Muli is very famous. The sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds together are like a fairyland! (The sea of ​​clouds is very popular, so you have to rely on luck.)

Mulikeng is known as one of the top 100 photography spots in Huangshan City. There are many ancient scenes that need to be discovered by everyone. Hurry up and grab your camera or mobile phone to take pictures!

We had breakfast, walked around the village freely after breakfast, and started hiking to Zuyuan Village. Zuyuan Village is nestled on the hillside of Chajiaojian at an altitude of 685 meters. The village was built in the Song Dynasty. It has flowing springs and waterfalls, white walls and black tiles, and ancient Hui style. The village has historical and cultural landscapes such as water mouths, ancient bridges, ancient houses, ancient trees, and Sixianling. It is especially famous for its thousand-year-old yew and has more than 100 acres of terraced fields.

Return to Nanjing.

6:00 PM

When we arrived at the departure point in Nanjing, everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes.

Driving time: about 4.5 hours

Hiking: The walking distance is about 5 km and the time is about 2 hours

1. Can you see the sea of ​​clouds in Mulikeng?

The sea of ​​clouds in Mulikou is very common and can be seen frequently. It depends on the weather on that day, so luck is very important.

2. Is the hike dangerous? Is it high up in the mountains?

Hiking from Mulikou to Zuyuan is mainly to experience the fun of hiking in the mountains. There is no danger and no special slope, which is suitable for taking pictures while walking.

3. How is the accommodation in Mulikou?

Because the village of Muli Village is relatively small and the accommodation conditions are limited, we stayed in a rare accommodation in Muli Village, which may be a room for 2-4 people. It is clean and hygienic. Let's experience a different kind of accommodation for one night.

4. How is the food at Mulikou?

Dinner is all local delicacies, and the food in the mountains is all authentic, so enjoy the food.

5. Is there WiFi at the accommodation?

This is definitely possible, but the signal transmission cannot be guaranteed to be very fast. 4G can still be used in the mountains.

[Nanping Village] is located in the southwest of Yi County, Anhui Province. It is a large ancient village with a history of thousands of years. Because many famous films such as "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were shot here, it is known as the Chinese Film and Television Village.

Muli Village is one of Huangshan City's top 100 photography spots. Its unique topography, perched on a mountain ridge and suspended on three sides, evokes a rich Hui culture. Looking across from the front mountain, one can see the entire village, a truly breathtaking sight, especially after rain, when a sea of ​​clouds can be seen. The village feels like a fairyland.
