Jiangxi Wuyuan Huangling | Encounter the Most Beautiful Spring

From March to April, Huangling in Wuyuan is a palette overturned by nature, with bright spring scenery as far as the eye can see. To make sure you don't miss any of the beautiful scenery, check out this guide! 🗣️Attraction Introduction • Rapeseed Flower Sea: Huangling's signature landscape. From early March to mid-April, tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields are covered with golden rapeseed flowers, contrasting with the white walls and black tiles of Hui-style architecture, creating a picturesque scene. The flower sea on the plains below blooms first, followed by the terraced flower sea in the ancient village in early March. In late March, the high-altitude terraced flower sea enters its best viewing period. The flower seas at different altitudes are distinct. • Flower-filled Ancient Village: In addition to rapeseed flowers, magnolia, pear, peach, and azalea blossoms also bloom from March to April, dotting the ancient lanes and houses, creating a romantic spring atmosphere. • Springtime Sun Drying: A unique landscape of Huangling, though named "Shaiqiu" (Autumn Drying), it actually takes place year-round. In spring, villagers dry spring bamboo shoots, green vegetables, bracken, and other crops. The colorful drying frames decorate the ancient village, creating a lively scene. • Huaxi Water Street: Showcasing the charm of a Jiangnan water town, with gurgling mountain springs, misty air, and flowers and trees surrounding pavilions and towers, it feels like stepping into a fairyland. • Shuikou Rainforest: Filled with the mystery of a green wonderland, it is surrounded by ancient trees, including 78 "giant pandas of the plant world"—Chinese yew trees, as well as sweetgum and camphor trees.
