Goulan Yao Village
It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and is a settlement of the Yao ethnic group. It seems like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming. The village is surrounded by mountains, with green hills and clear waters, neat houses and few tourists... October to December is the season for drying autumn crops. Yellow corn and red peppers are drying everywhere in the village, matched with reddish-brown brick houses, creating a good harvest scene!
The mountains here also have karst landforms, and the natural scenery is in no way inferior to Guilin. Driving on the country road connecting the two villages, I felt as if I had driven into a famous landscape painting! ! I really admire the wonders of nature!
Gou Lan Yao Village has preserved more than 300 Ming and Qing dynasty houses and was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 2019.
Gou Lan Yao Village is the settlement of Gou Lan Yao, one of the four major Yao ethnic groups. It also has a history of thousands of years of settlement. It can be divided into two parts along the mountain. The upper village has few tourists, but it also further preserves the original appearance of the Yao village.
🥙🥙Transportation: 30 kilometers away from Jiangyong County, it takes 50 minutes to drive to this primitive ecological village.
🍪🍪Delicious food
Jiangyong’s grapefruit, rice dumplings, jelly, shuttle cakes, oil tea... are all highly recommended, especially the rice dumplings. Every time I go home, my mother asks others to bring them for me! Winter grapefruit is also delicious and a must-have for the Chinese New Year! 
Tips
-The villages are not big, so it is recommended to visit together. One day is enough.
- The transportation is not very convenient, it is recommended to drive yourself, I don't think I saw any public transportation
No tickets are required for the Gou Lan Yao Village in Jiangyong County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province
This thousand-year-old village, which is peaceful and forgotten by the world, seems to have a kind of magic that attracts me to stay here quietly.
It seems to be able to cure the anxiety of life
