On March 4, 2026, my best friend and I went to Wuyuan, Jiangxi to photograph the canola fields. After comparing the reviews and locations of various guesthouses nearby, we finally booked the 'AWAKENING.SOULMATE.Starry Sky Courtyard Holiday B&B - Yunran/270° River View Family Twin Room' on Trip.com. It's located at No. 55 Xiangtian Village, Ziyang East Road, Rancheng Street, and conveniently has an elevator. The B&B is right at the exit of Wunvzhou Scenic Area, making its location very convenient.
The elevator made carrying our luggage upstairs and downstairs incredibly easy. Once in the room, simply saying 'Xiao Ai, turn on the air conditioning, turn on the lights, open the curtains, close the curtains' was super convenient. In the morning, calling 'Xiao Ai, open the curtains' revealed a beautiful scene: happy ducks playing in the small river, and across the river, canola fields, white walls, and grey tiles. It was like an open oil painting – so stunning! My friend and I took many beautiful photos sitting by the small table on the tatami mat by the window. This wonderful start set the tone for a joyful trip.
The 3rd floor offers excellent viewing angles. Each room has a large double bed, and the soundproofing is great. The living room features a rattan chair with a side table, a tatami mat with a low table, and a unique projector. The bathroom is very spacious, with a well-designed shower, sink, and toilet, achieving an excellent dry-wet separation. It completely matched the photos and description on Trip.com, making us feel right at home. The cleaning staff tidied the room daily and replenished the amenities. The owner, Honghong, was incredibly cheerful, sunny, warm, and patient. For our first check-in, she personally showed us to our room and thoroughly explained the room password, nearby attractions, and dining options.
There are many restaurants nearby. Particularly, the breakfast spots in the backstreet offer江南-style architecture and delicious food. A short walk away, the convenience store under the Atour Hotel allows you to purchase instant food and basic necessities.
There are numerous attractions nearby. Didi (ride-hailing service) makes transportation convenient, and self-driving guests can park in the spacious parking lot downstairs at the B&B.
Honggao Ancient City (best to enter around 4 PM, the lighting at night is fantastic, especially the fish lantern parade and fire-breathing performance at the main stage are quite unique). Wunvzhou (the iron flower performance in the evening is a highlight, and the cultural and tourism exhibits in the museum to the right of the entrance are worth a visit). Jiangling (picturesque terraced fields create a poetic landscape, with canola flowers, green hills, clear waters, and Huizhou-style ancient buildings complementing each other). Huangling (Huizhou-style residences are scattered picturesquely, with shops in front of houses and workshops behind, and colorful harvested fruits drying on shelves. Take B cable car up, cross Leixin Bridge to Tianjie, and take A cable car down. Almost every step offers a scenic view, making it excellent for photography). Jiangwan (Xiao Jiang Ancestral Temple's grandeur showcases Ming Dynasty architectural features). Likeng (a Huizhou-style village inhabited by the Li family, embodying the tranquility of 'small bridges, flowing water, and homes'). Moon Bay (a unique crescent-shaped island, offering picturesque江南 natural scenery). Shimen (home to the blue-crowned laughingthrush, the 'panda of birds,' with white walls and grey tiles displaying the simple elegance of Huizhou residences). Yantian Ancient Camphor (a millennium-old camphor tree in a Huizhou-style village, like a giant dragon supporting its massive canopy, seemingly blessed by gods to protect all beings). Sixi Yancun (an ancient Huizhou village and a film shooting location). Rainbow Bridge (built during the Southern Song Dynasty, it features two approach bridges, four piers, five arches, and five corridors. The couplet at the bridgehead is from Li Bai's poem 'Climbing Xie Tiao's North Tower in Xuancheng in Autumn': 'Two waters embrace a bright mirror, a double bridge drops a rainbow'). Wengong Commercial Plaza near the B&B offers various snacks.
Wuyuan's Huangju (chrysanthemum) from Xiaoji and green tea from Dazhangshan can be purchased in season. Local delicacies include stone pot lotus leaf fish, red carp, ciba (glutinous rice cake), fragrant rice paste, sticky glutinous pork, and dried bamboo shoots or stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with meat. Zui Zao Yu (fermented fish) can be a challenge for those who can't handle spice.
Reluctantly, as we were preparing to leave, still captivated by the beauty, we discovered the koi pond, outdoor tea room, 'shaiqiu' (sun-drying harvest), and lush greenery on the first floor. My best friend and I took many more beautiful photos there.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, we also felt the warmth of the happy family who owns the B&B. The owner couple was sunny and thoughtful. The kind father always wore a refined smile. The owner's mother thoughtfully steamed the raw duck eggs I bought at Wengong Commercial Plaza, showing the heartwarming care of an elder. The owner's child was a diligent student, polite and studious, with the aura of a future high-flyer. Thank you to the owners for this treasured B&B! I wish them a pleasant work life and prosperous business.
With breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and comfortable Huizhou-style residences with expansive views, we look forward to our next visit. I hope this review helps those planning to stay, and I wish everyone a wonderful and unique holiday in Wuyuan, Jiangxi.
