🚶The ancient village is a great place to slow down and relax.
The mountain village retains its original appearance and simple folk customs.
Persimmons hang from the trees, streams flow under bridges, and smoke rises from chimneys. It's a great place to take a walk and take photos.
The autumn here will take you back to your hometown in your memories.
🌸Travel tips:
🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. It takes about 2 hours from Fuzhou. Transportation between villages is inconvenient, so it's better to have your own car (there are mountain roads leading to the villages, so be careful when driving).

✅Jitou Village
A simple ancient village suitable for feeding fish and wandering around. The fish in the stream are big and plentiful.
✅Xiadi Village
The ancient village is built on a mountain. "Avant-garde Bookstore" and "Rice Field" are great places to take photos. You can sit in the bookstore and have a cup of coffee to relax.
✅Jixia Village
An authentic ancient village. Take a walk along the river and enjoy the comfort and leisure.
✅Longtan Ancient Town
Known as the "Fujian version of Somewhere Only We Know", it is relatively commercialized with complete facilities and many homestays. It is recommended to stay here for the night.
✅Siping Village
The village with the most persimmons. Every corner is photogenic. You can overlook the whole village from the covered bridge. The view is amazing!
✅Qiantou Village
A relatively primitive and undeveloped village. You can take a walk and take photos.
➡️Tips:
The ancient village is deep in the mountains, so the temperature is lower than in the city. Remember to bring a coat. It takes about half an hour to drive on the mountain road to the village, so prepare some motion sickness medicine if you get carsick.
There are many mosquitoes and insects in the village, so remember to bring insect repellent.
