III. Accommodation Recommendations
There are many characteristic inns around Nanxun Ancient Town, which are quaint and can immerse you in the atmosphere of the ancient town, and the prices are relatively affordable. The B&Bs in Mogan Mountain are a major feature, with a variety of styles to choose from, from simple and modern to retro and pastoral, and you can also enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the mountains, but you need to book in advance during the peak season and the prices are higher.
