June is the perfect time to visit ancient villages~

Here, the 996 grind dissolves into sunlight filtering through old courtyard skylights, KPIs shatter like raindrops on bluestone paths, while healing answers hide in the explosive spiciness of a $1 tofu bun's first bite, or ripple through the swaying rhythm of an elder's rattan chair.

Wuyuan, Jiangxi
Itinerary: Ancient villages, terraced fields, intangible heritage—encountering Huizhou's soul
DAY 1 Dawn • Moon Bay: Ink-wash silhouettes in morning mist
This crescent-shaped bay floats in emerald waters. When mist lingers, fishing boats rock gently as Huizhou-style houses mirror on the surface like a freshly painted ink-wash scroll. Sunrise chasers—bring your drone for epic aerial views.
DAY 2 Likeng Village: Poetry of bridges and flowing streams
A miniature of Huizhou's ancient villages—bluestone alleys, women washing clothes by the creek, old houses fragrant with camphor wood transport you back in time. Must-visit: the iconic "small bridge over flowing water" spot. Try villagers' homemade sweet rice wine—delicate and mildly intoxicating.
DAY 3 Jiangwan Ancient Town: Scholarly heritage of Huizhou merchants
Ancestral home of philosopher Zhu Xi, lined with historic mansions. Watch tea masters brew Wuyuan green tea using ancient methods—the aroma blending with scholarly vibes brings instant tranquility.
DAY 4 Huangling immersion
Terraced fields walk: Emerald waves in spring/summer, golden ripples in autumn—scenic year-round
Autumn Sunning Workshop: Create art with pumpkins and chili peppers, experiencing the fusion of farming and creativity
Tianjie Street food hunt: Try "steamed rice cakes" and "Qingming dumplings," shop bamboo crafts
Foodie spots
Wengong Shangcheng morning market: Locals' best-kept secret! Tofu buns burst with silky tofu and spicy chives. Pair with steaming rice cakes (slightly sour with spicy bean sprouts)—stuff yourself for under $1.50.
Other must-tries: Wine-fermented fish, steamed pork with rice flour, purse-red carp

Transport: High-speed rail to Wuyuan Station, then chartered cars or self-drive between sites
Photography outfits: Plain Hanfu or linen dresses—perfect harmony with ancient backdrops!
No Dali's romantic breeze nor Suzhou's exquisite gardens—just Huizhou's weathered brick walls, Huangling's rustic charm, and wind-whispered bird songs through rice fields that truly slow you down. Wuyuan is an ink-wash love letter to urban souls.
