How to Spend a Day in Wuyuan? A Complete Guide to Huangling and Wunvzhou

This one article is all you need for your Wuyuan trip!!
In my opinion, visiting Huangling + Wunvzhou is more than enough.
Huangling Scenic Area is famous for its "Sun-Drying Autumn" folk custom, terraced flower fields, and ancient Huizhou-style villages from the Ming and Qing dynasties, making it a perfect photography spot blending nature and culture.
Wunvzhou focuses on water town nightscapes and immersive mythological-themed experiences, combining modern tourism with Huizhou culture, ideal for leisure vacations. The former is rustic and authentic, while the latter is exquisite and dreamy, each showcasing the charm of Wuyuan.
