My favorite travel destination in Jiangxi has finally appeared!

🌟Must-see highlights - *National Geographic*-certified: China's most beautiful sun-drying ancient village, with scenic views all year round, and a better experience with fewer crowds during the off-season. - Folk culture: ancient Huizhou architecture, handicraft experiences, and recreations of intangible cultural heritage sun-drying scenes. - Natural secrets: the rainforest wonderland of Shuikou and the small bridges and flowing water of Huaxi Water Street. 📍Transportation guide - High-speed rail: To Wuyuan Station, take the scenic express bus from the station (CNY 20/person, approx. 50 min). - Self-driving: Navigate to "Huangling Scenic Area." There are many mountain roads, so novice drivers should be cautious. Parking at the scenic area is CNY 10/day. 🗺️Two-day, one-night itinerary Day 1: Roaming nature and culture 7:30 am: Wake up early to photograph the morning mist and sun-drying → 9:00 am: Folk Culture Exhibition Hall (Huizhou three carvings, wedding customs exhibition) → 10:30 am: Zhushan Academy (Ming and Qing imperial examination culture) → 12:00 pm: Lunch at Tianjie Food Court (steamed cake, purse red carp) → 2:00 pm: Huaxi Water Street (tea tasting at the creekside teahouse) → 4:00 pm: Shuikou Rainforest (photographing Tyndall light) → 7:30 pm: Magical Flowing Light Forest (night light show) → Stay at Shaiqiu Meisu (wake up to the scenery). Day 2: In-depth exploration of the ancient village 6:30 am: Watch the sunrise from the infinity pool → 8:00 am: Shai Workshop (participate in sun-drying labor) → 9:30 am: Wuguitang (photograph the ancient village from the window) → 11:00 am: Patriotic Wall ("China Map" internet-famous wall) → 12:30 pm: Liushuntang for farmhouse cuisine → 2:00 pm: Strange House (fun photography in an upside-down space) → 3:30 pm: Shuhe Hall (pray for blessings at the ancient tree) → Return trip. 📸Photography spots - Second floor of Shai Workshop: Close-up shots of chili peppers and corn drying racks, with people in the frame. - Third floor of the photography bar: Telephoto lens shots of the panoramic view of the ancient village + Patriotic Wall in the same frame (afternoon is best for lighting). - Window of Wuguitang: Frame composition, with distinct layers of sun-drying and horse head walls outside the window. - Shuikou Rainforest boardwalk: Capture the Tyndall light between 8:00 and 9:00 am. Wearing a light-colored long skirt is more ethereal. - Infinity pool: Photograph the reflection of the sunset 1 hour before sunset. Swimming is available in summer (swimming caps required). 🍜Food recommendations - Tianjie Food Court: Mud tofu, steamed pork with rice flour, Qingming kueh, CNY 50 per person. - Snack street: Freshly pounded glutinous rice balls (coated with crushed peanuts), fried oil lamps (radish filling), and rice milk wine (slightly sweet dessert). - Avoid: Be cautious of "seasonal price" river seafood at restaurants outside the scenic area. Clearly marked prices are more reliable. ❗️Practical tips 1. Tickets: CNY 145 (including round-trip cable car). Staying in a guesthouse in the scenic area allows free re-entry. 2. Seasonal activities: - Spring (Mar–Apr): Terraced rapeseed flowers + pear blossoms in the ancient village. - Autumn (Sep–Nov): Peak sun-drying season, red persimmons hanging on branches (best in late October). - Winter (Dec–Feb): Snow falls on Huizhou, fewer people, perfect for capturing ink-painting-like photos. 3. Clothing: Hanfu/plain long skirt + straw hat, non-slip shoes are needed for the stone roads. 4. Accommodation: Shaiqiu Meisu (renovated century-old house), Yishanju (pool view rooms). Reservations are required 1 month in advance during peak season. 5. Night tour: Flowing Light Forest light show (7:00–9:00 pm), bring a tripod for long exposure shots. Huangling can be experienced in depth in 2 days and 1 night. It is recommended to avoid the National Day/Lunar New Year peak seasons. Enjoy the empty scenes during the off-season and be a "mountain dweller" for a day!
