A foolproof 2-day, 1-night Wuyuan itinerary for just 400 RMB per person - copy with confidence!

Having visited Wuyuan four times, I must say this National Geographic-recommended town never disappoints, always full of delightful surprises. This time, we departed from Wuhan on a perfect weekend weather for our 2-day Wuyuan getaway. DAY1️⃣ 7:00 AM Depart Wuhan by car 🚗 → 12:00 PM Lunch at Wuyuan Zhaoji Brother's Seafood Restaurant → 1:30 PM Xian'gao Ancient Town (dinner can be had here) → Wunvzhou (great snacks here too) 🏨 Accommodation Huayu·Iris Tea Garden Resort Homestay DAY2️⃣ Shangtan Village → Qingyuan Ancient Village (enjoy farmhouse cuisine here) → Return to Wuhan 📙 Highlights ✅ Xian'gao Ancient Town Newly opened free attraction featuring Hui-style architecture with white walls and black tiles - every step offers photo opportunities. Jiangxi tourism really knows their stuff; ✅ Wunvzhou The celestial palace described by Su Dongpo comes to life here. Best visited after 5 PM for breathtaking night views. Weekends feature fireworks, iron flower shows (origin place), and fire pots. For best photo spots, check my previous notes; ✅ Shangtan Village Filming location for "I Am Not Madame Bovary". Features a famous camphor tree. This small, undeveloped village offers free roadside parking with bamboo raft rides at 30 RMB/person; ✅ Qingyuan Ancient Village A secluded paradise with a 2000-year-old ancient tree. Stunning during spring when rapeseed flowers and peach blossoms bloom; ❤️ Tips ✅ Both self-driving and high-speed rail are convenient options. All attractions are relatively close with taxi-friendly access; ✅ Wuyuan cuisine is quite spicy - those sensitive to spice should remind restaurants to go easy on chili; ✅ Except for Wunvzhou (paid attraction), the other three sites are completely free.
