Which is more fun between Wuyuan East Line and North Line? Where is the best place to see rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan?

When traveling to Wuyuan now, the most recommended thing is to watch the rapeseed flowers. There are currently many scenic spots to visit in Wuyuan, but in the season when the rapeseed flowers bloom, there will definitely be a swarm of people to see the rapeseed flowers, and This scenery is spectacular and worth watching, but you can also choose other attractions to watch. A quick overview of Wuyuan

It belongs to Jiangxi but has the blood of Huizhou on the other side of the mountain. Photos of golden rapeseed flowers are not enough to summarize Wuyuan. Green mountains and green waters, white walls and black tiles are its main colors. . Wuyuan is a collection of Hui-style villages. Since ancient times, both businessmen and Confucianists have emerged from the mountains and fields. The mottled old houses reveal the illustrious past. The beautiful bells and bells have a Jiangnan charm that is better understood than expressed in words.

Whether you are a lover of ancient architecture or a seeker of local culture, you will be deeply fascinated by it. Wuyuan may be very different in everyone's eyes. If you are disappointed because you only visited the famous attractions, don't blame the tourism developers or you arrived later than others. Wuyuan is a huge place, and no guide has yet been able to exhaust it all. There are far more “unseen” villages than you might imagine. This is an ideal destination for in-depth travel, and it also tests travelers’ “knowledge of fun.” Wuyuan East Route

Almost all scenic spots on the East Route are accessible by shuttle buses. Naturally, they are well developed and are inevitably crowded with tourists. The rural roads are packed around the Qingming Festival and it is difficult to plan the daily itinerary. Completed 100% as expected. If you want to have a great time, remember this rule: avoid the most famous villages and go to villages that are further away and have fewer buses. By arranging the route reasonably, you can get the best of the Eastern Front in one day.

Moonlight Bay

Free

Moonlight Bay, only 5 kilometers away from the county seat, is a must-stop on the east line, with a quiet lake and green trees and fields. There is a crescent-shaped oasis. Standing on the side of the road, you can already see its shape clearly, but the best viewing point is on the hillside next to it. Only when you see the "Moon" from a high place is it complete. During the rapeseed season around Qingming Festival, there are private bamboo rafts (20 yuan/person, 40 minutes). One bamboo raft can seat 5 people.

Likeng

Attractions included in the pass

If Likeng is your first contact with Wuyuan, you will inevitably be disappointed - running water is far from clear, and the water across The high-speed train at the entrance of the village is also very unsightly. The streets are full of vendors selling souvenirs and snacks. Even the ancient buildings are filled with old furniture for sale. The commercial atmosphere is pervasive.

Ding Yutang and Dafudi are the two main ancient buildings in the village. The former is a commercial house and the former residence of Li Ruicai in the early Qing Dynasty; the latter is an official residence, built in the Xianfeng period, and the wood carvings are more exquisite than Ding Yutang. Walking inside, the Shenming Pavilion, built in the late Ming Dynasty, was the place where villagers used to discuss matters and make complaints (they would gather here every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to judge right and wrong).

Likeng is famous for its small bridges and flowing water. The so-called bridges are just strips of stone or wooden boards across the river. Only at the intersection of the two rivers next to Shenming Pavilion can there be a real stone arch bridge - Tong Ji Bridge, the tour guide's endless explanations here will let you understand the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" staged by the bridge piers and the stream.

Wangkou

Attractions included in the pass

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wangkou was an important water transport terminal and commercial distribution center. Merchant ships arrived one after another, transporting grain, cloth, daily necessities, etc., and then transferred them to various places in Huizhou by land.

The number of tourists here is much less than that in Likeng. The Yongchuan River passes through the village, Henan is Xiangshan, and Hebei is the village. The thousand-year-old ancient street runs through the entire village. The names of the alleys on both sides of the ancient street reveal the industries they were engaged in in the past, such as Liquor Lane, Chaixin Lane, Gambling Lane, etc.

The Yu Family Ancestral Hall is the biggest attraction in Wangkou. It was built during the Qianlong period. It is a three-entry building with a brick and wood structure and is connected by a patio. The wood carvings are real treasures. The brackets, chisels, and sparrows are all exquisitely carved. The most exciting thing is the round and round wood carvings on the beams and squares, which are of extremely high craftsmanship.

Huangling

Tickets are 120 yuan, one-way/round-trip cable car is 60/100 yuan,

Package is 145 yuan, explanation is 50 yuan

Surrounded by mountains, Huangling Village used to have the custom of drying the autumn sun. In autumn, round bamboo plaques were held up on long racks in front of and behind the houses to dry red peppers and golden rice and soybeans. However, after tourism development, this unique cultural symbol gradually changed its flavor and became an outlier among all villages in Wuyuan.

In the name of "protection", villagers moved collectively down the mountain. Developers bought thousands of acres of terraced fields and hired villagers to plant rapeseed flowers. In autumn, they asked villagers to go up the mountain and put peppers on the eaves to "dry" them for tourists.

Huangling has become a theme park with villages but no life. The vitality you see is just decoration. But I have to admit that this place has the right time and location. Even if the tickets are expensive and even if they know that it is artificially shaped, tourists who flock here can still be immersed in the beautiful scenery. The 500-meter-long "Visiting Ancient Village Sky Street" is the core of the scenic spot. Sunbathing in autumn is no longer exclusive to autumn. No matter what season, there are always a few rooftops sparsely basking in red peppers. The No. 3 viewing platform near "Tian Street" is A good location to take photos of "autumn sun".

Jiangling

Attractions included in the pass

Among all the destinations in Wuyuan, Jiangling may be the most seasonal and the most unique. But it’s delicious and delicious all over the world. With the high-altitude rapeseed flower terraces, in March and April every year, "long guns and short cannons" will fill the hills here. It is recommended not to come when the rapeseed flowers are not in bloom. You will get almost nothing. Even the bathroom is not open in the off-season.

When shooting scenery in Jiangling, you can either take a self-driving tour through the scenic area along the winding mountain road, or you can spend 2 to 3 hours visiting the four viewing platforms on the ancient post road between the terraces. At sunrise, the mountains, morning mist, continuous rapeseed flower terraces and the Hui-style pink walls and black tiles dotted among them will give you the greatest reward. However, the scarecrows set up among the terraces are both out of place and tacky. Only during the rapeseed blooming season is it worthwhile for you to stay here and get up early to watch the morning mist. Wuyuan North Line

Compared with the east line, the northern line has more villages, more scattered and more original ecology. But the traffic on the northern line is very troublesome. It is not a road that goes straight north. Instead, it is centered on Qinghua Town and radiates outward like five fingers. There are not many villages that can be connected. In addition to the villages, there are also pure natural scenery here, and many ancient post roads are perfect hiking routes. Don’t expect to visit the Northern Route in one day. The more time you give it, the more surprises it will give you in return.

Sixiyan Village

Attractions included in the pass, explanation is 30 yuan

As far as villages are concerned, Sixiyan Village is the most outstanding among the northern line pass attractions. There are 136 Huizhou merchant residences preserved here, with exquisite architecture and Wuyuan Three Sculptures.

The scenic spot consists of Yancun and Sixi. Yancun is closer to the entrance of the scenic spot and is within walking distance. There is a sightseeing bus at the entrance of the scenic spot to take you to Sixi Village. The two villages are both built in the late Qing Dynasty, but have different characteristics. The overall visual effect of Yancun is stronger. No matter from inside or outside the village, they are all mottled and simple, while Sixi looks a bit messy with the old and new at first glance. , but the individual buildings are more outstanding than Yancun. The building density of Yancun is very high. In the past, the houses were "one unit". It is said that the ancients could walk in the village without getting wet on rainy days.

The feast of Huizhou architecture started in the Cong Hall of the carpenter's mansion during the Kangxi period. The wood carvings on both sides of the beams and beams in the main hall of the house are very exquisite. The Mingxun Hall in the Tea Merchants' Courtyard is spectacular. The three-story ancient house is well preserved, the brick carvings on the door are exquisite, and the clear-faced bricks that are more than 200 years old are still as new as new. Walking along the mottled and narrow paths, the elegant Liuxiang Boudoir and the Yuqing Hall with the word "Shang" are both worth a visit.

Hongcun

Admission fee is 60 yuan

Hongcun has the title of "Longevity Village". In fact, the elderly in this village are not unique compared to other places, but they are the most unique in the village. The "birthday boys" who set up stalls will chase you relentlessly, hoping that you will help them with a small business. However, don’t let these little things put you off prematurely, the village itself is very nice and worth the trip.

The three Qing Dynasty buildings in the village, Guangyu Hall, Sanji Hall and Dunsu Hall, are located next to each other. They are the ancestral hall and Hong Jun’s ancestral hall and family house respectively. There are exquisite wood carvings in the houses. The 12 flagpole stools in Guangyu Hall reveal the official title of the Hong family. The left and right corridors and front and back halls of the hall adopt rolling shed pavilions, and there are 6 unique square stone pillars. The brick carvings on the door of Sanju Hall are rich in content, and four wooden pillars inside have been "updated". There are still people living in Dunsu Hall. There are leaf-shaped windows on the outer wall, which means "fallen leaves return to their roots."

The creek passing by the village is very clean, and there are mottled Huizhou buildings along the river. From the dirt road going up the mountain in the opposite direction to the ginkgo trees, you can take a panoramic view of the village. In September and October, the bright red autumn sun on the house will give you the best material.

Likeng

Ticket fee 60 yuan

This attraction not included in the pass has been the village with the best reputation in Wuyuan for many years, and locals are used to calling it " "Dali Hang" to distinguish it from the "Lickeng" which became famous earlier on the Eastern Front. Likeng Village was built in the late Northern Song Dynasty and was originally named Liyuan. The clear stream at the entrance of the village is the source of the Wuyuan Xingjiang River. In other words, the oldest and quietest place in Wuyuan lies here. Likeng Village is built along the river in a long and narrow valley. The entire village has a well-planned and rigorous structure, and the three carvings of the ancient buildings are exquisite.

Many official residences are the most important attractions. Entering from the alley, you will see the angular Tianguan Shangqingdi. The former owner of the house was Yu Maoheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. The outside of the old house is slanted and the inside is upright, which is said to symbolize the ups and downs of an official career. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Weishu, the head of the Ministry of War, was the Sima Di. The flower beams on the second floor were well carved. However, in the center of the village, Yu Mao's school of study during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was unexpectedly simple. Travel guide

How to choose the attractions with the pass

In Wuyuan, it is better to play well than to play too much. The pass includes 14 scenic spots. If you don’t rent a car and want to visit them all, it will be difficult to use them even if they are valid for 5 days, and it is completely unnecessary. The scenic spots in the pass are like a hodgepodge, including villages, mountains, fields, and caves, regardless of whether they are There are special features, and they are all packaged and sold together.

If you use the elimination method, camphor trees are very common in Wuyuan. Almost every village has an "old" camphor tree, so you don't need to make a special trip to Yantian Ancient Camphor Scenic Area to see the trees. Regardless of the cultural background of commemorating Zhu Xi, the mountain scenery of Wengong Mountain is really bland and inconvenient to get there.

For pure photography enthusiasts, Shicheng only makes you have the urge to click the shutter in autumn when the maple leaves are red. Please choose according to the season and personal interests, and don’t forget to leave some time for non-pass attractions.

How to appreciate Huizhou architecture

The orderly layers of horse head walls and whitewashed walls and black tiles form people’s most traditional and superficial impression of Huizhou architecture. However, this picture This freehand "three-dimensional ink painting" is very particular about its spatial layout, structure, and decoration. In the huge Wuyuan, villages seem to be scattered randomly, but in fact they all follow the six-character Feng Shui concept of "pillowing mountains, surrounding water, and facing screens".

The layout of residential buildings mainly has the shape of "concave", "H", "Hui" and "日" written upside down, which are symmetrically distributed on the central axis. Halls, patios, wing rooms, etc. are the basic components. The patio has the functions of lighting, ventilation, and drainage. Rainwater falls through the four-sided sloping eaves above the patio, and then flows into the gutter from the surrounding water tanks. It is commonly known as "Four Waters Returning to the Hall", which means "fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields."

If the patio mainly embodies practicality, the three sculptures of Wuyuan are undoubtedly the most aesthetically valuable part. The three carvings refer to stone carvings, brick carvings and wood carvings. The stone carvings are rough and simple, mainly used for column foundations, thresholds, etc., and most of the themes are inseparable from animals and plants. Brick carvings are mostly reflected in gate towers, door covers, and roof ridges, which are the face of the house. The themes include figures, landscapes, birds and animals, etc.

Wood carvings are mainly used in interior living spaces, such as doors, windows, columns, beams, rafters, sparrows, moon beams, etc. The themes are rich, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, dramas, novels, etc. Where is the best place to see rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan

1. Likeng

Likeng is a small waterside village surrounded by mountains. In front of the village is a large field of rapeseed flowers. After spring, the mountains and plains are covered with golden flowers. There are many ancient Hui-style buildings on both sides of the stream in the village. The gray walls and white tiles are very simple and simple. Along the path behind the village, you can overlook the panoramic view of Likeng.

There are arch bridges, pavilions, temples and courtyards in the village. After entering the village, there are many shops along the street, mainly selling Hui style wood carvings and dragon tail inkstones, which are specialties here. There are also many "farmhouses" where you can stay and eat. The delicacies include mushroom chicken, braised poached carp, Likeng steamed chicken, etc. There are many teahouses and hotels in Linhe, and bayberry wine and Likeng glutinous rice wine are both delicious.

There are also many ancient residences from the Ming and Qing Dynasties mixed in with the folk houses, and the indoor carvings are very exquisite. A river runs through the entire village in sections, and you can take a long bamboo raft to roam along it.

Tips

It will be overcrowded during holidays and weekends, especially when the rapeseed flowers bloom in March and April. Likeng, which is not big in the first place, is so crowded that you can’t even stand. No, and there will be traffic jams on the road. To enjoy rapeseed flowers, it is best to avoid holidays and weekends.

There is another scenic spot in Wuyuan called "Li Keng", which is not the same place as Likeng. Don't get confused.

The paid bamboo raft in Likeng goes back and forth from Wenchang Pavilion in front of the village to the village along the river. The journey is very short and you will arrive in a short time.

2. Jiangling

The rapeseed fields here in Jiangling are not on flat ground, but are terraced fields one by one along the hillside. In March and April, the rapeseed flowers bloom. Standing on the observation deck at the top of the mountain, you can overlook the most beautiful side of Wuyuan's pastoral scenery. The commonly said Wuyuan rapeseed flowers are here.

There are many interesting scarecrows stuck in the rapeseed field at the foot of the mountain. Many tourists have fun playing at the foot of the mountain. However, the most beautiful scenery is not at the foot of the mountain, but at the observation deck at the top of the mountain. The road winds through the mountains of Jiangling. When we reach the top of the mountain and look down, we see layers of rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and fields, spreading as far as the eye can see from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

The river at the bottom of the valley surrounds the green mountains, and there are several small villages surrounding the river. The Hui-style houses with black tiles and white walls are mixed in with the golden color. There is nothing more spectacular and impressive than this in Wuyuan. People were pleasantly surprised.

Tips

When traveling in rural areas, you must insist on visiting all the scenic spots

In March and April, when the rapeseed flowers bloom, there will be traffic jams all the way. If you want to take a car straight to the top of the mountain, It is almost impossible to drive when you reach the foot of the mountain. There will be many motorcycle taxis selling business on the roadside. You can take a motorcycle up to the observation deck on the top of the mountain. Motorcycles are more maneuverable than cars, or you can simply walk up.

The sky in Jiangling is often gray, so it takes luck to shoot a film when the sky is clear and the sun is shining.

You must go to Jiangling early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The closer you are to the foot of the mountain, the more people there are, and the higher you go to the top, the fewer people there are and the more beautiful the scenery is.

3. Huangling

Huangling is a typical mountain village on the east line of Wuyuan. Local villagers have had the custom of using bamboo plaques to dry crops since ancient times. Every harvest season, hundreds of scattered Hui-style houses under the sun and the colorful harvest fruits on the drying racks form a gorgeous "autumn sun" landscape, attracting many photographers to come here to take pictures.

The best tourist seasons in Huangling are the autumn basking season and the rapeseed flowering season in late March. The whole tour takes about 3 hours.

The core of the ancient village is Tianjie, which is also the most beautiful place in the village. It has a bourgeois style similar to Yandai Xiejie and Lijiang Ancient Town, which is very suitable for taking photos with a fresh style. The most iconic building on Tianjie Street is Tianjie Restaurant, where you can dine. The No. 3 viewing platform next to it is the best location in the village to enjoy the view. You can have an unobstructed view of the shops, teahouses, and wine shops on Tianjie. Many "autumn" blockbusters were shot here.

Tips

Don’t bring too many things with you

The inner road in the ancient town is not flat, so it is recommended to wear comfortable flat shoes as much as possible.

There are two main ways to go up the mountain, one is to take a scenic sightseeing car, and the other is to take the cableway. Of course, if you are physically strong, you can also climb up by yourself.
