Wuyuan's folk art is also very rich. The elegant Hui Opera is one of the origins of Peking Opera, the ancient Nuo dance is known as the 'living fossil of classical dance,' and the Jiaolu Taige art enjoys the reputation of 'China's unique art.' The unique tea art performances are charming... The Wuyuan Museum, with its vast collection and high quality, is rare in China and is known as the 'No. 1 county-level museum in China.' The beauty of Likeng lies in the harmony between people and nature, and in the perfect combination of culture and ecology. Walking into Likeng, one can see blue skies, green mountains, clear waters, small bridges, flowing streams, houses, white walls, green bricks, and black tiles, all blending harmoniously and reflecting each other beautifully.

Wuyuan Trip: A Journey of Surprises and Regrets
From the moment we got off the high-speed train, we were amazed 😲. The bus could take us directly to the attractions we had been longing to visit. In Wuyuan, it felt like everything was meticulously prepared for tourists, making it extremely convenient 👍!!!
We mainly visited three attractions in Wuyuan: Likeng, Wunvzhou, and Huangling. Each one was so exhausting to explore thoroughly that our feet were sore haha 😅.
Wuyuan has many unique ancient towns, but we felt they were somewhat repetitive, mostly featuring small bridges and flowing water. So, we only chose Likeng. To be honest, Likeng is not particularly recommended 😕, as it is filled with a lot of commercialized stuff.
We stayed inside the Wunvzhou Scenic Area, so our itinerary there was very flexible 😜. We even watched two iron flower shows and could return to our room to rest whenever we were tired. Wunvzhou feels more suitable for a vacation. Besides the stunning golden iron flower show, the rest doesn't feel like regular tourist attractions, but the design within the scenic area is genuinely beautiful 👏. Moreover, all the hotels in Wunvzhou are uniformly managed, so everything is well-equipped.
As for Huangling, it took quite a long car ride to get there, and we took a taxi. Although there was a cable car to take us up, the Huangling Scenic Area is really huge, and it was super tiring for our feet 😭. There are high-altitude sports activities in Huangling, but we hesitated and didn't try them. Now, thinking back, we really regret it 😫. When we visited, it wasn't the autumn drying season, which is a special feature of Huangling. However, because it rained a little, the mist added a unique charm!
In summary, we enjoyed this trip 😃!
PathfindingPleasures
Wuyuan Secret Realm: Likeng Scenic Area, where you encounter the ancient charm of a water town
Likeng Scenic Area is an ancient town mainly inhabited by the Li family, and every family has family instructions, which is quite interesting
It is about 12 kilometers away from Wuyuan County, and it takes about 20 minutes by taxi
💰: 60 RMB/person
⏳Visiting time: The scenic area is not large, 2 hours is enough to finish the tour
There is a sightseeing car at the entrance of the scenic area 🈶, 5 RMB per person, but in reality, it is really only 1 kilometer away, not recommended to take it, just walk and you will arrive
There are too few people, it really is a niche attraction
There are also many roadside snacks, and they are very cheap

During Qingming, I escaped the crowds and stumbled upon an authentic ancient village
I enjoy galloping on the road, experiencing the journey through myriad rivers and mountains, and the local customs and cultures.
You can never predict whether the trials you face will lead you to muddy bumps or a rainbow after the rain!
🗺️ Itinerary
The original plan was to drive from Shanghai to Jingdezhen, staying one night in Wuyuan's Huangling to see the rapeseed flowers and eat beef bone noodles before heading to Jingdezhen.
However, as the rain god seems to have taken a liking to me, ever since I arrived in Jiangxi, thunderstorms have been relentless, forcing me to alter my route:
Wuyuan Huangling — Wangkou Village — Likeng — Jingdezhen
📢 Attraction Introduction:
✅ Wangkou Village — Named for its location at the confluence of two rivers, with clear waters in front of the village, hence 'Wangkou' (meaning 'pond mouth'). The first settlers were descendants of Qi, with the village also known as 'Yongchuan' due to its long and flowing history. It is an ancient Huizhou village predominantly inhabited by the Yu clan. The village's unique architectural style, superb craftsmanship, and high cultural taste make Wangkou an exhibition garden of masterpieces of ancient Chinese folk architecture. It is not overly commercialized and retains the original simplicity of the local customs, highly recommended❗️
⏱️ Duration of Visit: About 2 hours
🎫 Ticket Information: Single attraction adult ticket 55 yuan, children and the elderly free (also available: 5-day pass for 11 attractions 180 yuan)
⏰ Opening Hours: 07:30-17:00
Attraction Address: Wangkou Village, Jiangwan Town, Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province
🅿️ Parking Information: There is a small fee-based parking lot at the main entrance of the scenic area (free parking at the rear entrance, which also grants free admission 😁)
✅ Likeng — Likeng is an ancient village mainly inhabited by the Li clan, and is the closest scenic area to the county town on the Wuyuan eastern route. After spring, the hills are covered with golden yellow. There are many Huizhou-style buildings along the banks of the village streams. Climbing the hill along the path behind the village, you can overlook the entire view of Likeng. However, commercial development is quite intense, not highly recommended.
⏱️ Duration of Visit: About 3 hours
🎫 Ticket Information: Single attraction adult ticket 55 yuan, children and the elderly free (also available: 5-day pass for 11 attractions 180 yuan)
⏰ Opening Hours: 07:30-19:30
Attraction Address: Likeng Village, Jiangwan Town, Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province
🅿️ Parking Information: There is a fee-based parking lot at the main entrance of the scenic area
🏠 Accommodation Recommendation: We stayed at 👉 Wuyuan In the Wild Villa Luxury Resort Space
Not far from Huangling, theirs is the only guesthouse on the mountain road, quite quiet.
The guesthouse is pure white, quite photogenic.
The guesthouse also has its own cafe and parking lot, perfect for a lazy afternoon tea when you don't feel like going out.
🥗 Dining Recommendation:
Lunch was at 👉 'Home Sweet Home' Farmhouse
Not particularly recommended but worth a try, the fresh bamboo shoots were indeed tender, and the landlady was very enthusiastic;
Dinner was the internet-famous 👉 Fan's Beef Bone Noodles
Not expensive, quite spicy, but lacking the fragrance of beef, not as amazing as imagined, just average.
⚠️ Notes:
1️⃣ The local Jiangxi cuisine is not as spicy as rumored, I found it rather mild;
2️⃣ Remember to enter Wangkou Village through the back door to avoid paying for a ticket;
3️⃣ It's best to visit Likeng in March or April, skip it during the summer as it often gets flooded;
4️⃣ If you have time for a longer visit, consider buying a combo ticket, otherwise visiting just one spot is enough.

Li Keng Scenic Area
The Wuyuan Li Keng Scenic Area is an ancient village dominated by the Li surname, located 12 kilometers from the Wuyuan county town.

The first stop on the early spring eastern route of Wuyuan is Likeng
Wuyuan's first stop is supposed to be Moon Bay, but coming in early March is a bit too soon. The trees have just begun to sprout, and the cherry blossoms planted along Cherry Blossom Avenue are still in buds, waiting to bloom. The bamboo rafts have not yet set sail, which feels a bit disappointing, so we can only head to Likeng.
Likeng, 7km away from Moon Bay, has the style of a southern Jiangnan water town, with small bridges over flowing water and Huizhou-style residences.
Stone-paved paths, streams, black-awning boats, and festive red lanterns of various styles. The pink walls and black tiles are reflected in the small streams, and the 'Three Carvings of Huizhou'—stone, brick, and wood carvings—are visible everywhere.
The village still retains some old houses, where one can see the vicissitudes of history. Each household has family instructions posted at the door, which is considered a way of inheriting traditional culture amidst the simple local customs.
Unfortunately, the commercialization in Likeng is quite severe, with various shops standing side by side, causing the already small village to lose its original simplicity and tranquility. The collision of old and new has not achieved the desired harmony. Although villagers are still washing in the river, the water is no longer clear, and the smell is less than pleasant.
Instead, walking along the path towards Mushroom Pavilion and Banana Spring, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and climbing high to overlook the scenery is quite poetic.

Lixi Scenic Area in Wuyuan County
Small bridges, flowing water, and numerous Hui-style buildings make it quite nice, at least it's a low-end version of Wuzhen. The weather is hot, and there are few people, perhaps because of the expensive tickets. You can choose to enter the scenic area at 7 pm for dinner, stroll around the night view, because it's free from this time, the weather is cool at night, and there are not many people, which is quite comfortable.

🚗Transportation suggestion: The ancient villages are scattered, take the high-speed rail to "Wuyuan Station", and then rent a car or charter a car to travel, and you can also harvest many beautiful scenery on the road.
✅Specific scenic spot introduction
1⃣️Likeng (P6, P7)
Huizhou-style small bridges and flowing water, both sides are full of red lanterns, very festive, not many tourists and very out of the picture, it is the most surprising stop in Wuyuan travel.
2⃣️Huangling (P10, P11)
The whole village is immersed in the beautiful scenery of drying autumn, and you can also enjoy the lights of the ancient village on the cliff at night. But there are many people, it is recommended to stay for one night, and you can take a good photo of drying autumn before 8 o'clock the next morning.
3⃣️Shangtan Village (P4, P8, P15)
The filming location of "I am not Pan Jinlian", there is a thousand-year-old camphor tree at the entrance of the village, and the old people in the village are chatting under the tree, and you can also take a bamboo raft and walk on the bench bridge, walking in the landscape painting.
4⃣️Sanye Bridge (P13, P14)
An ancient bridge with a history of more than 200 years, located in the Duanxin Reservoir, it will be exposed to the water surface every year during the dry season, surrounded by alpine meadows, and there are cows and sheep eating grass, especially healing~ The navigation is not easy to find, Gaode map can directly search for "Sanye Bridge".
5⃣️Chaguan Village (P1, P2)-Hongguan Village (P9, P16)
The two villages are next to each other. The most classic of Chaguan Village is the ancient bridge at the entrance of the village, which has a history of 500 years. The old man leading the cow is a paid performance. Hongguan Village is upstream of the stream, the village is larger, you can stroll along the stream, you will see a very large thousand-year-old camphor tree.
6⃣️Zhang Village (P3, P5, P12)
The most famous is the bench bridge of about 120 meters. Every year in April and May during the flood season, the river will rise and wash away the bench bridge. In September and October during the dry season, it will be rebuilt to facilitate the villagers to go to the mountains for farming. In this way, the bench bridge also has the meaning of life reincarnation. The bench bridge was not rebuilt when I went there at the end of September recently. It is also very good to experience bamboo rafting here. You can check in at the bench bridge in Shangtan Village.
7⃣️Wuyuan State (P17)
"Drunk and don't know the sky is in the water, the boat is full of clear dreams and stars", the most popular air loft is here, there are fireworks and iron flower performances on holidays, it is recommended to come here for night tour.
TERRANCE REESE
You really think it's a trap here!
You said it's not too late for spring, and I arrived at the real Jiangnan in May today. The rain in Li Keng is also cold and quiet. The colder and quieter it is, the more you can taste the small bridge and flowing water. The misty rain is even more emotional~ The Huizhou-style buildings are very photogenic. The red lanterns are hung high. Wearing a white long skirt and a new Chinese-style cheongsam will be better photographed. Many shops are closed in the off-season. The commercial atmosphere is weaker than in the past, but the life atmosphere has become stronger~ I didn't find any delicious food. I saw an old man selling cakes made of kudzu root. I tasted it and it was not very delicious, but I still bought two. I feel that no one buys it in the off-season. Then I found a beef bone powder restaurant casually. The taste is okay. Jiangxi people who eat spicy food and those who don't eat spicy food should remember to say it~ The rice wine next to the Shenting Pavilion is not bad. It's very warm to have a cup of rice wine on a rainy day. Many people say that Li Keng is very pit, but I feel very quiet, beautiful and comfortable~ It's just relatively small. It's almost two hours to stroll around. Come here in the afternoon and wait for the lights to turn on at night to see the night scene. Now it's off-season and the lights are not turned on, so don't miss the night~ Shangrao City, Wuyuan County, Li Keng Scenic Area 55 yuan, Didi from the high-speed rail station is 15 minutes away. Nearby accommodation recommendation: Huazhu Luxury·Yunshang Qingye Designer Holiday Villa× No need to take a sightseeing car at the door. It's not far to walk in, and it's very interesting to walk around~

【Jiangxi Wuyuan Scenic Spot Travel Experience! Real Reviews】
I just visited three scenic spots in Jiangxi Wuyuan - Wuyuanzhou, Huangling and Likeng, and now I want to share my experience with you. Please note that the following are my personal experiences and opinions, if you don't like them, please don't spray me! 🙈
Wuyuanzhou Recommendation Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I bought a late ticket and didn't enter Wuyuanzhou until after five in the afternoon. As soon as I entered, I felt very good, the architectural landscape inside is very beautifully designed, completely different from the outside style. Of course, the most recommended is the performance inside! I watched the Nuo dance, flower boat performance, iron flower and light show. The intangible cultural heritage iron flower is really super good-looking, full of rich feelings! As long as it doesn't rain, there are performances at eight and nine in the evening. I watched both shows, really can't get enough! Nuo dance is also highly recommended, full of aura, the music effect is also great! Recommend to everyone! 💃🚣♀️🌸🎆
Huangling Recommendation Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The mountains full of Hui-style buildings are very beautiful, especially during the autumn drying season, it is even more unique! The photo effect is outstanding! I went in the morning, the sun is not very big, there is a feeling of clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, very beautiful! However, if you want to take pictures of the autumn drying, it will look better if the sun shines directly. The reason I give four stars is that there are too many people! It really feels like people are squeezing people. It's not even the National Day yet, but there are already a lot of people. I personally don't like crowded situations. In addition, the tickets are quite expensive. In terms of ticket prices, I think Huangling is not as worthwhile as Wuyuanzhou, but this mainly depends on personal preferences. 🌳🏰📸🌞
Likeng Recommendation Index: ⭐⭐
To be honest, Likeng is a bit disappointing. The attractions inside are not big, and it takes about an hour to stroll around. The main thing is to feel the atmosphere of small bridges, flowing water and people. However, the tickets are really not worth it! There are no entertainment projects, and no special attractions. I personally think it's worth at most twenty yuan. And the transportation is not very convenient, there is a distance from the main road to the Likeng scenic spot. The sightseeing car costs five yuan per person, it's a bit hard to evaluate. It feels like besides feeling the atmosphere of small bridges and flowing water and sketching, it's quite boring inside. The tickets are not cheap either. I'd rather use this money to go to Wuyuanzhou again. 🛣️🏞️🚗💸
The above are my personal views! I hope it can help you! Remember, this is just my personal experience, your feelings may be different. Everyone has different preferences for attractions, so choosing a suitable travel route is very important! 🌈🌍😊

Wuyuan is not just about Huangling, I love this ancient village with a small bridge and flowing water even more
💄Spicy Mom says:
Likeng is an ancient village mainly inhabited by people with the surname Li, surrounded by mountains. Two mountain streams outside the village converge into a small river in the village, and Huizhou-style residences are built on both sides of the stream and river, with a unique architectural style. Walking in this ancient village, you will feel the most authentic life of the local residents.
🎫Ticket: 55 yuan (Wuyuan scenic area joint ticket 140 yuan)
🚂Transportation: About 30 yuan by taxi from the county town
⏰Suggested play time: 1h
🔁Route:
Wenchang Pavilion-Dazhang Tree-Li Ruicai's former residence-Shenming Pavilion-Tongji Bridge-Tonglufang-Ancient stage-Li Zhishi's former residence
🍽Food:
Filial piety fruit, glutinous rice wine, charcoal grilled glutinous rice cake, navel orange
💯Shopping recommendation:
Including various local specialty foods, tea, sweet potatoes, etc., it is worth a try and purchase.
✅Best season:
Spring and autumn are the most beautiful seasons in Likeng. The village is full of flowers in spring and golden in autumn, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland.
‼️Tips:
1⃣The ancient town is all paved with stone slabs, and it's not easy to pull a suitcase.
2⃣It is not recommended to take the 5 yuan sightseeing car, the scenic area is very small.
3⃣It is not recommended to experience the bamboo raft, it's too narrow and doesn't feel much.
4⃣You can get incense for free at the temple at the entrance of the village, but don't take the red rope, they will ask you for money.

On the first day, we first explored the Sixi Yancun on the North Line. This ancient village left a deep impression on me. Although it does not have a strong commercial atmosphere, it retains the original Huizhou architecture, giving people a simple feeling. In the village, we even met a guide dog. Perhaps worried that we would get lost, it always guided us to walk in front. However, when we walked to the exit, the dog no longer followed, and we had to say goodbye. This scene made me feel particularly moved.
Then, we went to Bench Bridge, but it is said that after the flood, this attraction no longer exists, so it is not highly recommended to go. Of course, if you still want to go, it's best to do some research in advance.
While strolling in the village, we also took a photo with the internet celebrity old man leading the cow. We and another family pooled 20💰 to take the photo, which is also an interesting memory.
Then we came to Jujing Village, which is a round village, giving people a special feeling. It's definitely worth a visit👍
In the evening, we stayed in Shicheng to prepare for the morning fog view the next day. Unfortunately, it rained the next morning, and we only captured a little bit of morning fog, which was somewhat regrettable.
On the second day, we came to Likeng on the East Line. There are many people sketching here, and the stone bridge is the most famous attraction here, giving people a feeling of Jiangnan water town. Afterwards, we also went to Shangtan Village, which is a free attraction, but I personally think it's very worth visiting. There are many natural landscapes and ancient buildings here, which make people linger.

Hanfu around the stove to make tea! Shangrao's internet-famous tea cafe, Yuhe Tang
Yuhe Tang adopts the ancient pavilion-style architecture, with a round arc-shaped exterior all made of wood, all using recycled materials. Inside, there is a round arc-shaped bar, round tables, round bookshelves filled with books, forming a literary afternoon tea space.
The floor-to-ceiling windows around the room blend the indoor artistic atmosphere with the rural mountains and houses. Outside the window is the beautiful pastoral lake view. We are dressed in Hanfu, sitting quietly by the lake to make tea, flipping through books...
Persimmons, oranges, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, jujubes, all kinds of beautiful little snacks...
Note: Hanfu is provided for free, first come first served
Address: Yuhe Tang, inside the Liu Su Xiaozhu courtyard in Huangyuan Village, Xia Nan Mountain

Wuyuan Likeng, a picturesque village with small bridges and flowing streams.
A small village with beautiful mountains and clear waters that existed since the Ming and Qing dynasties, even during the May Day holiday after the unsealing in 2023, it doesn't feel too crowded.
If you're in a hurry, you can visit Likeng, Jiangwan, Jiangling, and Xiaochi all in one day. Go fast if you're in a hurry, take your time if you're not. Personally, I recommend Jiangwan, Jiangling, and Huangling.

Jiangxi Wuyuan is just a small county, but it has the title of China's most beautiful country. It is also known as China's natural oxygen bar. Wuyuan is best known for its rapeseed, but have you seen the sea of Wuyuan? Because of the shooting reason, I came here for two days after the rape blossom period. It rained heavily on the day, but I saw the most beautiful sea of clouds here in the early morning of the next day!
