Don’t miss the persimmon season in mid to late October!
In this 800-year-old village, bright red persimmon trees🌳
Hang like little lanterns on branches by the rammed earth walls
The vines and red lanterns at the village entrance’s rain corridor create a great vibe
We recommend climbing to the 360° viewing platform at Jianyu Mountain Homestay
