I have long heard of Wuyuan, "the most beautiful village in China". I heard that rapeseed flowers bloom beautifully in spring. Besides, I just have three days off during the Qingming Festival to travel with my mother, because I don’t think I can wait too long to honor my parents. Although I decided to go there temporarily, I still have some simple strategies (air ticket price comparison, accommodation, itinerary arrangements, etc.) before departure. Because Qingming Festival is the first day of Qingming Festival, the itinerary is only two days, and it is impossible to visit the mainstream attractions in Wuyuan in two days. So we decided to go to Qingling first and visit one or two places the next day.

The first strategy before departure is to compare prices. I first got some travel app coupons on my agent’s mom’s coupon app, which can be deducted when buying tickets. Then I booked train tickets first (I compared Tongcheng, Ctrip, Qunar, and Lvmama apps), and finally I chose to buy train tickets for the same journey (four tickets for two people are discounted to 4 yuan each). Since a ticket for the Nanchang-Wuyuan direct high-speed rail costs 113.5 yuan per person, I chose to transfer from Nanchang-Shangrao-Wuyuan and take the Pukuijia EMU, which costs 79 yuan per person. The ticket for two people saved 69 yuan.

Secondly, I booked my tickets to Hualing directly on the MaHoneycomb app (no need to queue, tickets are issued quickly). I can book them separately, and then I can book the accommodation. Because the accommodation price during the Qingming Festival holiday has soared to 2,300 yuan a night, I booked a youth hostel for one night at a moderate price (97 yuan per room/person/night). The overall price/performance ratio is relatively high.

On April 7, my mother and I got up early at 5 o'clock, took the bus to the train station around 5:40, and then transferred. When we arrived in Yulin, it was already afternoon. The roads are very crowded and there are so many people. Waited in line for an hour. There were three levels of people queuing up, and because of the flowering season, the rapeseed flowers turned into rapeseed flowers.

However, none of this is a big problem. When my mother and I finally lined up to take the cable car and overlook the scenery at the foot of the mountain in mid-air, we felt that everything was worth it. The blue sky and white clouds seem to be within reach, and the green mountains are at our feet. Although I am afraid of heights, I still can't contain my joy. I kept taking beautiful photos along the way and was full of expectations.

A few minutes later, the cable car took us up the mountain. There were many tourists talking and laughing along the way. When we were climbing the mountain, my mother told me the names of various trees and flowers from time to time. Although there are no rapeseed flowers on the mountain now, there are still layers of terraced fields in the distance, which are particularly beautiful. Walking along the winding paths, we found gurgling springs and creeks like treasure hunts, old-fashioned kerosene lamps and porcelain paintings on the walls, all telling stories to tourists.

Further inside, there are some old houses and old stages. Although the buildings are empty, they are still interesting. Go straight up, over the steps, and through the small courtyard. There are various cultural and creative shops inside, and there is also a little brother playing guitar and singing in the center.

The shops here mostly sell chrysanthemum tea, porcelain, cloth shoes, umbrellas and other small items, which are Wuyuan's specialties. What I didn’t expect was that there was even Dicos fried chicken.

Since you have come to Yuling, you must go see "Sunshine Autumn". No, the photo I put at the beginning of this article was taken when my mother and I climbed higher up the mountain. There are also other people’s roasted peppers and whole grains, with grilled bacon on the side. Looking down from a high place, I really feel that other mountains look dwarfed under the sky.

Because I have to go back to Wuyuan County to live in the evening and have to go down early, I played in Huangling until 4:30 in the afternoon. Left and right, take the cable car down the mountain. In this way, it took another hour and a half to arrive at the youth hostel in Wuyuan County. It was already 8 o'clock when we finally arrived at the hostel. Because the youth hostel is full of young people traveling around the world, we had a good chat with the girls in the dormitory, so at their suggestion, my mother and I planned to go to Sixiyan Village for a walk the next day.

The next day, my mother and I took a bus to Sixiyan Village before eight o'clock. We were talking and laughing along the way, and time passed very quickly. The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, but we didn't expect the car to take us to the entrance of the village. However, I didn't expect that it wasn't a long distance trip, but I had to kill customers just to charge 4 yuan per person.

Later, my mother and I decided to go to the scenic spot. We held our selfie sticks and happily took pictures on both sides of the road. Along the way, in addition to green mountains and green waters, golden rapeseed flowers, beautiful unknown flowers, and the gurgling water around us, the lake water is clear. Farmers and women wash clothes and vegetables directly there, and people and nature seem to live in harmony in silence.

My mother and I discovered many different scenery along the way, and we were as happy as if we had found a treasure. The seemingly inconspicuous "grass" on both sides of the road is actually wild vegetables. My mother asked me to recognize various vegetables, peas, broad beans, tea leaves, etc. Because I grew up in a city, I don’t know these dishes. Now, I feel a little sad and sighing. I've been very busy, but I just can't get enough of it. I still want to go out and see more in the future.

Because I thought the scenery in the mountains was somewhat similar to that of Huangling, my mother and I walked to the entrance of Sixiyan Village Scenic Area. We didn't buy tickets, so we took some photos at the gate. This is also a famous sketching base, and many art students came. In fact, I want to say that true filial piety is reflected in companionship and listening. Maybe my parents don’t know as much about high technology as we do, but they still have richer life experiences than we do. Sometimes we might as well listen and have different understandings and opinions.

Although it was only a few days away, I gained a lot along the way, gained knowledge, broadened my horizons, and also brought about the mother-daughter relationship between my mother and me.

For me, the meaning of travel may be to try to spend ordinary days among flowers.
