An Ancient Fujian Village with an Artist for Every Resident! Longtan Village Healing Guide

📍A hidden healing ancient village deep in Fujian｜An artist for every resident, once you come, you won’t want to leave! Indeed, setting off without expectations is the easiest way to encounter surprises✨🍃 🎈Originally, I just came to Longtan for a pop-up event, but I was completely captivated! This ancient village hidden in the mountains of Pingnan, Ningde, has an absurdly high concentration of art—new villagers include painters, poets, directors, artisans… some even run free public classes! 🎨📖 —— 🏡 Accommodation Recommendation | Truly worth a special trip! Highly recommend “My Home Courtyard” at the bridgehead of the village 👇 ▪️Tatami rooms in renovated old wooden houses, mortise and tenon structure + natural wood style, detail lovers will be thrilled ▪️The owner is super interesting! “Talent can offset room fees” 🎸✍️, instruments to play freely, excellent photography skills, books to read at will, and karaoke too ▪️Convenient and quiet location, great shots at the bridgehead, the owner secretly captured cinematic photos of me singing in the hall at night 📸 —— 🌟 In Longtan, you can spend your time like this: ▫️Daytime: creek hiking / picking wild fruits / watching fireflies / learning hand-brewed coffee ▫️Nighttime: gathering in the studio to paint / cooking together / board games / lying down counting stars ✨Many guesthouses have communal kitchens, so groups can buy groceries and cook, feeling just like home! —— 🍜 Food Radar｜Only locals dare to eat like this! 【Xiaoxiang Renjia】 ☑️ Mixed noodles (the oil painter’s shop is also good) ☑️ Iced soy milk (can add ice!) ☑️ Egg fried rice (full of wok hei) ☑️ Five-grain fish noodles (sour and spicy, very appetizing) 【Yingshuige】 ☑️ Garlic-flavored mixed greens (highly recommended! Try the seasonal “rice noodle” dishes) ☑️ Dry mixed shepherd’s purse wontons + peanut sauce + garlic vinegar, irresistibly fragrant! 【Siping Village · Kaoshan Restaurant】 ☑️ Rice-braised rabbit (Fujian’s signature sour and spicy flavor) ☑️ Stir-fried yellow chives with eggs (a perfect match for rice!) ❗️Daredevils can try “egg tea,” a local favorite (but I advise caution 😂) —— 🧳 Practical Tips: ✔️Wear comfortable shoes! Stone paths + creek alleys ✔️Outfit suggestions: artistic style / hanfu / cotton and linen, perfect for photos ✔️Mosquito repellent is a must! Lots of little bugs in the mountains ✔️Transportation: recommended to drive, about 2.5 hours from Fuzhou ✔️Best seasons: spring and summer for lush greenery and creek hiking, autumn and winter for quiet and rustic charm —— “Before I knew it, I had wasted over ten days here.” Longtan is not for ticking off a checklist, it’s for settling down and slowly becoming part of your life✨
