Persimmons hang from the trees, streams flow under bridges, and smoke rises from chimneys...

🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Fuzhou. Transportation between villages is inconvenient, so having your own car is more convenient (there are mountain roads leading to the villages, so pay attention to road conditions when driving).

❤️ Tips:
✅ The ancient village is deep in the mountains, so it is cooler than the city. Remember to bring a jacket.
✅ It takes about half an hour to drive on the mountain road to the village. If you get carsick, prepare some motion sickness medicine.
✅ There are many mosquitoes and insects in the village, so remember to bring insect repellent.
