Looking to escape the hustle and bustle this May Day? Discover the serene charm of this ink-painting-like town, favored by National Geographic, with 99% of tourists unaware of its healing experiences! Here's a 3-day, 2-night nanny-level itinerary and tips to avoid common pitfalls. 🚗【Off-the-beaten-path route: Step into ancient villages like a painting】 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: Secret tour of Wunvzhou → Stay overnight at a nearby guesthouse ▫️ Avoid tour groups during the day, rent a Hanfu costume to take stunning photos at Wenchang Pavilion Bookstore, and ride a traditional boat through Huizhou Water Street. ▫️ Highlight‼️ As night falls, head straight to Wunvzhou Scenic Area to witness the golden pavilion floating on water and fireworks illuminating the traditional eaves and brackets—a magnificent night view. After enjoying the scenery, walk just eight minutes to Wuyaoju Guesthouse for a restful night. 🏡【Hidden guesthouses: Immerse yourself in poetic slow living】 Wuyaoju Guesthouse ✔️ Just a 5-minute walk to Wunvzhou, no need to squeeze onto shuttle buses after the iron flower/fireworks show. ✔️ Cozy rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views and a perfect ambiance. ✔️ Complimentary high-speed rail station pick-up/drop-off service (choose one). 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐: Huang Village → Hongguan Village → Chaguan Ancient Bridge ▫️ Huang Village: Skip the crowded Huangling! This untouched village features rustic brick and earth walls, a thousand-year-old redwood tree at the entrance, homemade rice wine, and a hidden wild rapeseed flower field in the back hills (local secret photo spot!). ▫️ Hongguan Village: The birthplace of Huizhou ink, stroll through stone-paved alleys and meet master ink craftsmen. The 800-year-old camphor tree at the village entrance adds a mystical touch. ▫️ Chaguan Ancient Bridge: Capture a National Geographic-worthy cover shot as a farmer leads a water buffalo under the stone arch bridge. ⚡️【Tips to avoid pitfalls: Lessons learned the hard way】 ❶ Wuyuan's attractions are scattered, so self-driving is recommended. ❷ Jiangling terraces are past their bloom by May Day; opt for Yan Tian's small train for better photos. ❸ Liking is overly commercialized; spend 20 yuan to take a bamboo raft at Moon Bay instead. This May Day, skip the crowded tourist spots! Immerse yourself in the slow-paced life of Wuyuan's picturesque landscapes for the perfect holiday experience.
