Reverse Travel is Amazing! This Reservoir Around Huangyao Ancient Town Has Divinely Beautiful Autumn Scenery

Many people who visit Huangyao Ancient Town only wander around within the town, unaware that its surroundings hide more unknown autumn secrets! This time, I rented an electric scooter and explored the fields and reservoirs around the ancient town in reverse, discovering autumn scenery that was wilder and more stunning than the town itself – it was amazing! ​​【"Map Route" Descriptive Exploration Route Around the Area】​​ My electric scooter adventure route: Depart from Huangyao Ancient Town → Ride along the county road towards Zhaoping → Along the way, you'll pass vast rice fields and karst peaks, golden in autumn → Navigate to Zhoujia Reservoir (a few kilometers from the ancient town) → This is the highlight of the trip, where the reservoir's water level drops in autumn, revealing meadows that, with the distant mountains, form a breathtaking scene → Return to the ancient town via the same route. ​​【Hidden Gems: Live Like a Local for a Few Days】​​ ​Electric Scooter Adventure​: Rent an electric scooter outside the ancient town (tens of yuan per day) for extreme freedom to go anywhere you want and discover your own scenery. ​Go to the Market (Country Fair)​​: Inquire about market days near the ancient town (e.g., Gongqiao Market) to experience a local fair. It's very lively and offers a taste of the most authentic local customs and culture. ​Picnic by the Reservoir​: Buy some snacks and fruits from the ancient town, take them to Zhoujia Reservoir, find a flat grassy spot, and have an autumn picnic – it's definitely a unique experience. ​Discover Ancient Bridges and Trees​: Besides those within the town, the villages surrounding the ancient town also have scattered unknown ancient bridges and huge ancient trees. Riding a scooter to explore them is full of fun. ​​【Outfit/Prop Guide for Photos】​​ In the ancient town and pastoral settings, ​New Chinese style, cotton and linen, and Mori girl style outfits will be very striking. Girls can wear long skirts or wide-leg pants, and boys can wear linen shirts. You can bring a folding fan or a round fan as a prop. In open areas like the reservoir, you can wear a straw hat to create a vacation vibe. The sunlight around 3-4 PM is very soft, making it a golden hour for photography. ​​【Detailed Cost Reference List】​​ ​Transportation:​​ Electric scooter rental approximately 50 yuan/day. ​Accommodation:​​ Characteristic B&Bs in the ancient town approximately 200-400 yuan/night. ​Dining:​​ Per person 80-100 yuan/day (including meals, snacks, drinks). ​Admission:​​ Ancient town ticket approximately 80 yuan (if purchased). ​Total:​​ 2 days and 1 night, per person cost approximately 400-600 yuan (excluding major transportation). ​​【Pre-trip Checklist】​​ □ ID Card □ Comfortable shoes (essential for stone paths) □ Sunscreen products □ Mosquito repellent (mosquitoes by the water) □ Power bank □ Camera □ A heart for exploration So, next time you go to Huangyao, don't just stay in the ancient town! Rent a small vehicle and explore the surroundings; you'll discover a more three-dimensional and vibrant Huangyao.
