The first trip after the holiday
I chose to visit Wuyuan Huangling for the third time
Ancient village, autumn harvest, hot spring, and plum blossom
Folk customs and nostalgia
It met all my expectations for a rural trip!
No wonder it is certified by the United Nations as the "World's Best Tourist Village"

📷Travel tips:

✅Plum blossom in the ancient village
As winter turns to spring, the plum blossoms in Huangling have quietly bloomed. Strolling along the winding path, you can encounter several blooming plum trees, adding a touch of romance and poetry to the ancient village.
🌸Flower viewing spots: Yishanju - Hot Spring - Plum Garden

✅Autumn harvest in the ancient village
Autumn harvest is a unique agricultural landscape in Huangling, which can be seen all year round. Among the scattered Huizhou-style houses, baskets of colorful crops such as peppers and corn are dried, forming a splendid and simple harvest picture.

At night, there are various special intangible cultural heritage performances in the ancestral hall square, which are very interesting and full of local enthusiasm!
