The "uninhabited village" in Houtou Bay, which left a terrible impression, has now become the "Wizard of Oz". Which season is the best?

In 20 15, a group of photos became popular on the internet, which instantly set off a tourism boom. This place is an uninhabited village in Houtouwan, Shengshan Town, Shengsi County. Houtou Bay is located in the northeast of Shengshan Island. There used to be more than 400 villagers, and people lived a life of relying on mountains for food and water for food. Later, since 1985, many villagers began to move out one after another because of the exhaustion of offshore fishery resources.

Speaking of uninhabited villages, you may think of a depressed and dilapidated town, but the uninhabited village in Monkey Head Bay is not like this. Because the uninhabited village has been uninhabited for many years, the vegetation in Monkey Head Bay, which is built by the mountains and rivers, grows wildly, gradually covering the buildings in the village. After arriving, the dazzling variety of Parthenocissus tricuspidata actually made it look full of vitality, much like the mysterious and dreamy Wizard of Oz, which was extremely eye-catching.

According to people who have been there, it is really fresh and natural to walk along the path and wet moss in some years, but when you look up, you can see a large cemetery. Graves stand out in this fresh environment and blend in with the already quiet environment, which inevitably makes the village look bleak and strangely beautiful.

Due to the increasing number of tourists, the former village economic cooperative began to reinforce the dilapidated buildings and roads that had not been maintained for many years in the village, and officially opened them to the public on June 1, making this once forgotten small fishing village full of vitality again.

Personally, if you want to play, you'd better play in late spring and early summer. After all, everything in autumn and winter is withered and depressed, so you lose the beauty of green. In spring, everything grows, plants are in bud, and seafood has not yet fully grown. It's a pity that you can't enjoy local seafood. There are many mosquitoes in summer, which may bring a bad experience on the way to watch. Late spring and early summer are the best times. The sunshine is just right and the breeze is not dry.
