Day 1: Tracing Streams to Ancient Times · Time-Folding Art
🌳 10:00 Shangtan Village - Movie Scene Alike (Absolutely stunning for photos‼️)
📍 Location: Shangtan Village Ancient Camphor Tree Pier
🎬 In-depth Play:
① Ancient Tree Treasure Hunt: Let your kids touch the tree trunk to find "movie scars" (nail marks from 'I Am Not Madame Bovary' filming location), find them and the boatman will give them a small bamboo leaf boat🚣
② Ferry Secret Code: Sing the nursery rhyme "Yao A Yao" to the boatman to unlock the VIP slow-paddling route (paddle an extra half-circle to see the duck flock!)
③ Old House Deciphering: Count the "magpie-tail eaves" on the horse-head walls, see who finds more upturned mythical beasts

⛩️ 14:00 Fengshan Village - Dialogue Across Time and Space

Longtian Pagoda Puzzle Challenge: Use your phone to photograph the nine-tiered flying eaves of the pagoda, piece them together into a complete ancient pagoda and post on WeChat Moments to instantly become a "cultural relic restorer"🔍
Rice Field Telegraph: Stand under the pagoda and listen to the wind chime's secret message, the decipherer receives a handmade mugwort cricket from an old lady🦗
🏮 18:00 Chaguan Village - Evening Ritual

Leading a Cow Across Jijiu Bridge👨‍🌾: Spend 20 RMB to ask an old man to teach your kids how to lead a cow, wear Hanfu and carry paper lanterns for silhouette photos (remember to bring a reflector for fill light!)
Stargazing Class: Lie on a bamboo mat in the farmhouse courtyard and count the Big Dipper, use a twig to draw star trails
Day 2: Ancient Tree Exploration · Wilderness Graduation Ceremony
🌿 8:00 Hongguan Village - Tree King Class

Measuring the First Camphor Tree of Jiangnan: The whole family holds hands to hug the ancient tree (requires 6 people!), make a tree ring rubbing as a nature journal entry📒
Stream Blind Box: Scoop up bluestones to find "rainbow stones", collect all seven colors to exchange for glutinous rice wine
💪 11:00 Lingjiao Village - Life Class

Observing the 'Strong Tree': Draw the small fern ecosystem inside the hollow tree trunk, guess the ants' moving route🐜
Life Handicraft: Pick up lightning-struck wood pieces + moss, DIY a miniature landscape "Rebirth Monument"
🍽️ Kid-Approved, Bowl-Licking Food List
Wood-fired Chicken Feet: A must-order at Chaguan farmhouses! So gelatinous it sticks to your lips, kids will slurp until their fingers shine and still ask for "ten more!"
Fish Head Stewed with Aged Tofu: Cooked on a stove by the stream in Hongguan! The tofu soaks up the essence of the fish soup, kids will invent "tofu building block towers"
Wild Scallion Scrambled Eggs: Freshly picked in Lingjiao Village! Golden, glossy, and fragrant enough to fill three alleys, instantly finish three bowls of rice with it

💡 Hard-Earned Tips from Personal Experience
1️⃣ Driving Hacks:
✔️ Rent a car with high ground clearance! Village roads have many gravels, regular cars can easily scrape the bottom
❌ Don't drive onto field ridges! Navigation often mistakes small paths for roads
2️⃣ Mosquito Repellent Secrets:
✔️ Stick mugwort patches on your kids (3 RMB/pack at village entrance shops), tiny black midges will steer clear
❌ Avoid floral toilet water! Its strong fragrance attracts bees and butterflies
3️⃣ Outfit Strategy:
✔️ Hanfu + rubber-soled cloth shoes👟! Old villagers in the ancient village will actively invite kids to pick loquats for free
❌ Be cautious with white sneakers! Mossy stone steps will instantly turn them into "ink-wash graffiti boards"

📜 Fun Facts & Easter Eggs
Longtian Pagoda has copper bells hanging on each tier🔔, ancient people used them to measure wind direction and speed
The hollow part of the 'Strong Tree' hides bird nests🐦, in spring you can hear the chirping of chicks

Finally, a big reveal👇
When my 4-year-old son held up the cow rope on Jijiu Bridge:

"Dad! I shook hands with a Tang Dynasty cow~"
This kind of living history lesson, picture books can never provide!

Hidden Missions Unlocked
✅ Shangtan Ferry: Collect 3 types of water-patterned stones to exchange for 'I Am Not Madame Bovary' movie still postcards
✅ Fengshan Ancient Pagoda: Photograph the "wind-vane bird" on the top tier to receive a rammed earth miniature pagoda model
✅ 'Strong Tree': Draw the new sprouts on the tree trunk to receive a lightning-struck wood bookmark

📍 Fairy Tale Coordinates: Shangtan Village → Fengshan Village → Chaguan Village → Hongguan Village → Lingjiao Village
👟 Kid-Friendly Must-Have: Foldable sketching board! Record quick sketches of the ancient villages anytime
🚗 Transportation Secret: Car rental from Wuyuan High-Speed Rail Station is 150 RMB/day, do not exceed 40 km/h on winding mountain roads

This summer, when the cicadas chirp🌿, you must bring your kids to a real Wuyuan ancient village!
When little feet bounce across Chaguan Village's ancient Jijiu Bridge, when Hongguan Village's thousand-year-old camphor leaves fall into their backpacks, when Lingjiao Village's lightning-struck wood sprouts in their palms—those wild souls trapped in air-conditioned rooms will laugh like mountain songs amidst the ink-wash and cooking smoke🎵
