Things to do in Wuyuan

Huangling's autumn sun-drying scene is all about sunbathing now, anytime! Autumn is definitely the best time for sunbathing! It's become too commercialized, in my opinion! Overall, it's alright! Since you're here, go check it out! Wuyuan has so much more beauty! Take your time, find the pictures you like...

A two-day, one-night leisurely tour of Wunüzhou is a man-made cultural and tourism scenic area, with its nighttime views far surpassing its daytime attractions. During the day, you can enjoy various free small-scale performances and the Hui-style garden architecture. In the evening, the highlights are the light shows, iron flower displays, and the live-action performance "Encounter Wuyuan." The scenic area boasts comprehensive facilities, with numerous restaurants and guesthouses to choose from. Staying in a guesthouse along the Xingjiang River in Wuyuan offers a distant view of the illuminated Baoyu Pagoda, making it much easier to plan your trip. During holidays, it gets very crowded, so it's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot for popular performances.

It was a last minute change of itinerary to Likeng Ancient Village / Scenic Area - but it was seamless change because everything could be done online.We booked the train tickets to & fro from Shangrao to Wuyuan and the admission tickets all through Trip.com; very convenient indeed.If you love photography, then Likeng offers you abundant of beautiful & scenic shots, worthy of your time strolling fir many good shooting spots - you would love it here!!We had a good time strolling the ancient village and capturing few memories there too."🤗🤗🤗

The combination of cable car up, sightseeing bus, and hiking down is perfect. Taking advantage of the off-peak season before the end of the holiday and late October allows you to perfectly avoid the crowds. The Huanglong colorful forest has already quietly revealed its beauty, and the vibrant colors of the pools are extraordinary, making it well worth a visit.

This trip was excellent value for money. Taking the elevator up the mountain from the Xiangao Ancient City Visitor Center and then exploring downhill was not tiring at all. The clear signage along the way prevented us from getting lost, making the experience very safe. The Tiankeng Library was a pleasant surprise; both children and adults loved it. The Huancui Hall, with its antique charm, was captivating. At the foot of the mountain after exploring the ancient city is the Xihutang Commercial Street, with its Hui-style architecture that's photogenic during the day and features a fun light show and performances at night. I highly recommend coming back next time!

It's not bad, similar to tourist attractions in southern Anhui. The area outside is full of restaurants serving free-range chickens, which I wouldn't recommend. The chickens priced at 168 yuan are just small, locally sourced chickens that cost a few yuan per kilogram. The meat isn't flavorful, and it's not even as good as the chickens you buy at the supermarket for 15 yuan per kilogram. Where can you find so many free-range chickens?

Before heading to Huangshan, I stopped in Wuyuan, and Wolong Valley was a good warm-up. The natural environment was quite nice. This was my second time here. Last time, during the rainy season, the water volume was plentiful, but I didn't have time to see the whole thing. This time, I had more time, but the scenery was much less impressive due to the dry season. The Big Dragon Waterfall was practically dry, even smaller than the Small Dragon Waterfall. The streams were very clear, and there were many people playing in the water. It's a good place to enjoy water activities, cleanse your lungs, and reconnect with nature. Don't expect too much from the waterfalls during the dry season.

I originally wanted to go to Huangling to see the rapeseed flowers, but it was raining and I was in a hurry, so I changed my plans and went to Jiangling instead. The car could drive right in, and I just took a quick photo and headed back. The scenery was still very beautiful.

I took a bamboo raft ride at Moon Bay, which is basically a type of electric boat. The lady who drove it was very enthusiastic. As the boat glided across the calm, emerald-green water, the feeling of "a small bamboo raft drifting on the river, with majestic green mountains on both banks" naturally arose. If you have enough time, you should quietly savor this tranquil natural beauty.

Sixi and Yancun were a delightful surprise on this trip to Wuyuan. Sixi and Yancun are two villages, only a few hundred meters apart. Both villages retain some ancient buildings with exquisite brick, wood, and stone carvings. You can hire a local resident as a guide to explain the fascinating details. The villages are surrounded by rice paddies, perfect for a stroll and enjoying the idyllic rural scenery. A small river meanders through the village, and the plank bridge over it is a great spot for photos.
