- Wuyuan: Half Golden Sea of Flowers, Half Ink-Wash Ancient Villages

Wuyuan is truly an amazing travel destination, boasting stunning natural scenery and unique Huizhou-style architecture. I just returned from Wuyuan and have compiled an ultra-detailed guide to share with you all! 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. High-speed rail: Take the train directly to Wuyuan Station, with many departures available for great convenience. From the station, you can choose taxis, shuttle buses, or chartered cars to reach various attractions. Taxis are relatively more expensive but quick and convenient; shuttle buses are economical but have limited schedules; chartered cars offer more freedom, ideal for group travel and allowing stops for photos anytime. 2. Self-driving: If you prefer independent travel, self-driving is also a good option. You can enjoy beautiful scenery along the way and stop anytime for photos, but be mindful of mountain road safety. 🌄 Attraction Recommendations 1. Huangling: A must-visit! The terraced rapeseed fields blend perfectly with Huizhou-style ancient villages, and the "sun-drying autumn" scenery is especially unique. Here, you can overlook the layered rapeseed fields and the quaint villages, making for super photogenic shots. It's best to go early in the morning to avoid crowds and capture Huangling in the morning mist. 2. Jiangling: Vast terraced rapeseed fields create a spectacular scene, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. From the mountaintop, the golden sea of flowers contrasts beautifully with the scattered villages, like a picturesque rural painting. Be sure to visit the viewing platform for the best views. 3. Sixi-Yan Village: The ancient village is full of rustic charm and tranquility. Stroll through the old streets, admire the beauty of Huizhou architecture, and enjoy the blend of rapeseed flowers with ancient bridges and streams, experiencing the leisurely rural life. 4. Yantian Scenic Area: Here, you’ll find a small train running through the sea of flowers, as if stepping into a Miyazaki anime. Walk along the tracks, enjoy the rapeseed flowers on both sides, and then take the small train for a super romantic experience, perfect for couples. 5. Wunvzhou Resort: By day, experience the charm of a Jiangnan water town; by night, don’t miss the spectacular iron flower and fireworks shows. The resort also features various specialty shops and delicious food, ideal for a relaxing stroll and leisurely time. 🍱 Food Recommendations 1. Steamed Red Carp: A famous Wuyuan dish, the fish is tender and delicious—a must-try. 2. Wine-Soaked Fish: The fish is marinated in wine lees, giving it a unique aroma and rich flavor that gets better with each bite. 3. Steamed Cake: A local traditional snack, soft and sticky, topped with various seasonings and incredibly fragrant—perfect for breakfast. 4. Steamed Pork with Rice Flour: Tender meat with a fragrant rice flour coating, rich but not greasy, a popular home-style dish that pairs perfectly with rice. 5. Thickened Tofu: Tofu cut into small pieces and cooked with minced meat, mushrooms, and other ingredients into a thick paste—delicious, smooth, and super appetizing. 🏠 Accommodation Guide 1. Near Wuyuan Station: Convenient transportation with many hotels and homestays at affordable prices. Easy access to attractions and the high-speed rail. 2.
