Huizhou is picturesque in spring-a spring outing by car in Wuyuan

I haven't seen such a spectacular sight for a long time: there are many tripods, crowds and shouts. This reminds me of the arrow buckle and the dam. This is Shicheng, a small mountain village in Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, which is quite famous among photographers because of its magnificent morning fog.

Shicheng is located in the west of Wuyuan. From the perspective of tourism, people are used to calling Jiangwan, Xiaoqi, Wangkou and Likeng as the eastern lines, and Fuchun, Yantian, Shiyu and Changxi as the western lines. Compared with the prosperous name of the Eastern Line, some villages in the Western Line have only begun to get hot in recent years, and their popularity among photographers is higher than that among tourists. Yidutong has also recently built a cement road. When I arrived at the land at night, I completely missed it, but under the starlight, I could vaguely see that the village head was full of cars, and cars came in one after another. A rather busy yard at the head of the village was full of guests, so we had to move to another one. This house is also a room full of colorful coats and tripods. I thought it went into an outdoor store or a photographic equipment store. "When you enter a house, you are a family." People from all corners of the country are everywhere, talking about their own experiences and plans and predicting the weather and scenery of tomorrow. The atmosphere is warm and the mood is high.

The beauty of Shicheng lies in its morning mist. Shicheng consists of two natural villages. Chengcun is in a mountain nest surrounded by mountains, Daicun is on a hillside, and there is a hill between the two villages. Whenever the smoke rises and the morning mist transpires, Chengcun in the mountain nest is shrouded in dense fog. The sun cast a ray of golden light, and the small mountain village immediately became a fairyland. Daicun on the hillside is illuminated by a ray of eastern light cast in the crevice of the mountain, which looks like a sea city.

Ear, shutter sound together. Look at those "long guns and short guns", each one is more professional than the other. If people from camera manufacturers want to experience the joy of harvest, this scene is perfect. Although cameras have been digitized, many people still use film cameras, some are medium format cameras, and even have seen 4x5 large format cameras. Look at those photographers, men and women, old and young, professional and amateur. It seems to be the era of national photography!

Photographers like to get together. The sun rose, the morning fog gradually dispersed, everyone left one after another, and the small village was calm again. After crossing a mountain, Changxi began to be lively again, and the film friends went to Changxi for a party again. Changxi Village, located in the mountainous area of Wuyuan, Jiangxi, is quite famous among photographers because of its red leaves. It is said that there are more than 200 tall maple trees around the small mountain village, which are red every autumn.

The traffic to Changxi is very inconvenient. There used to be a multi-village dirt road, but it was narrow, potholed and muddy, and there were frequent traffic jams. So many photographers walk into the village. There are two ways to walk to the village. One is the 1 1 km mountain road from Shicheng to Changxi, and the other is the 8 km mountain road from Yantian to the village.

Walking from Yantian to the mountains, there is no village all the way. Suddenly, I turned a mountain bend and saw the white wall bricks in the ravine in the distance. That's permanent. When we arrived at Shuchang Village, the time was about to set. On the hillside outside the village, several fragrant trees are red, and the sunset gives the mountain trees a layer of light. The mountain village below is quiet and beautiful. "the sun is infinitely good, just near the yellow tube", the dream of sunset is particularly fast, the sky is already fragrant and dead, and it is dark in an instant. Before I could taste it, I fell in love with Chang Xi at first sight.

Get up the next morning and go to the hillside at the head of the village to shoot the sunrise. You can clearly see the whole picture of the village here. There are dozens of tall maple trees on the back of the village, and the small village is hidden under these big trees. On the other side of the village, there is a cross-flow bay that rises around the village. First, apply maple fragrance, and then shine on the smoke hanging over the mountain village, forming a light channel. The whole village is like a big comma. In the early morning, the small village was shrouded in smoke from the kitchen. The sun shines on the whole small village from the mountains in the southeast.

This small mountain village maintains a simple style. Villagers stand in front of their houses with rice bowls, occasionally talk to others, and then bow their heads to eat. Children are playing in the alley, and occasionally older children ask foreigners for candy. Some village women gathered by the stream. They washed clothes and vegetables by the river, saying that some parents were short of family members.

Others work in open spaces or on rooftops. It's the season of drying oil tea again. Camellia seeds are scattered on the straw mat. There are one or two plates of corn or cotton in the basket, black, yellow and white, which are very nice. It would be more beautiful if there were a few baskets of red peppers.

Originally, Huizhou folk custom was also a distinctive photographic subject, but the villagers were friendly, but they didn't like being photographed. So I had to put away my camera and stand in the light with the villagers, talking about big things and small feelings outside the mountains, as if I were originally from this mountain.

Author's note: 1. The traffic between Shicheng and Changxi is very inconvenient. At present, most of them are photographers, almost all of them are in front of their cars. You can enter from Wuyuan and Jingdezhen, and you can go to Fuchun Town first. Starting from Fuchun town, you can go northbound along the county-level highway, and there is a fork road leading to Changxi in Yantian. There are no obvious road signs. When the vehicle is closed, you can park your car at the roadside shop or your hometown, then walk into Changxi, continue northbound from Yantian to Gutan, and there is a three-way road to Shicheng. When you get to Lingyan, you can only see the sign of Shicheng, and then walk for 3 kilometers.

2. The living conditions in the mountain village are average, all of them are villagers' homes, and the reception capacity is good. Accommodation may be tight on the busiest days, and meals are all served in the mountains. Most of them settled in the villagers' homes where they often lived.
