Fujian's Hidden Ancient Village｜Autumn in Siping Village Tastes Like Persimmons

Who would have thought! Deep in the mountains of Ningde, a real-life Peach Blossom Land was discovered. As soon as you enter the village, you’re speechless at the sight of persimmons hanging like red lanterns on every tree✨
📸 Must-visit Healing Spots
1. Persimmon Grove Secret Realm: Ancient persimmon trees at the village entrance are laden with bright red fruit. Sunlight filters through the leaves onto yellow walls and black tiles. Wearing a light-colored long dress for photos naturally adds a soft glow filter. Rent a bamboo basket for 5 yuan as a prop to enhance the atmosphere
2. Rain Corridor Light and Shadow Show: Red lanterns hang under the vine-covered rain corridor. On sunny days, dappled light and shadows play; on rainy days, listen to raindrops tapping the corridor roof accompanied by the sound of the stream. Just standing there feels like a scene from an ancient-style film
3. Pioneer Bookstore: A cultural landmark transformed from an old house. Order a coffee and sit by the window, enjoying the terraced field views outside. Even flipping through books becomes a pleasant experience
4. Century-old Covered Bridge: By the moss-covered old bridge, listen to villagers tell stories of the ancient village. The stream flows babbling by, washing away all worries
🍲 Wild Mountain Flavors on the Tongue
• Must-try Rice-smoked Rabbit: With a faint rice fragrance, the meat is firm and deeply flavorful
• Blind Spot Konjac Stir-fry with Meat: Chewy konjac absorbs the meaty aroma, perfect with rice—you can eat two big bowls
• Finish with a Persimmon Cake: Soft, glutinous, and sweet, perfect to pack as a souvenir gift
Village farmhouses offer fresh home-cooked dishes for just over 50 yuan per person, enough to fill you up
