Ningde Pingnan: A hidden ancient village in the mountains, where persimmons are already ripe.

The poetic beauty of autumn is hidden in the ancient village, with green trees, black tiles, yellow walls, red lanterns, red persimmons, and green mountains and rivers... It satisfies all my imagination of autumn! So I drove more than 600 kilometers to the "windy" place in Fujian—Ningde Pingnan. 🏮 Navigation🧭: Siping Village, self-driving is recommended, about 2 hours from Ningde or Fuzhou, the ancient villages are quite close to each other. 🚗 Tickets🎟️: Free🆓 Parking🅿️: Free🆓 Opening hours🕐: All day Drone✈️: No control Travel route🗺️: Siping Village 10min ➡️ Longtan Ancient Town 7min ➡️ Qiantou Village 57min ➡️ Xiadi Village 🍂 Siping Village: Come to this ancient village to see persimmons, the covered bridge overlooks the entire village, persimmon trees can be seen everywhere, sketching, enjoying autumn, and tasting tea. 🍂 Longtan Ancient Town: Literature, coffee, tea rooms, taverns, folk songs... It is more commercialized, with complete facilities, and you can stay here if you have enough time. 🍂 Qiantou Village: I personally like it, it is less crowded and more niche. 🍂 Xiadi Village: Rice field bookstore, built on the mountain, a cup of coffee, enjoy the slow rural time in the avant-garde bookstore. The persimmon trees all over the mountains add a touch of autumn color to these ancient villages in Pingnan. The next few weeks are a good time to enjoy persimmons, and it is also the peak period of people flow, so be sure to plan your trip in advance. 📖
