[2025 Wuyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Zhangcun Village (Updated Apr)

#discoverchina #wuyuan We arrived in Zhangcun just as morning mist hovered over the 100-meter Bench Bridge. The ancient Huizhou wharf village was peacefully waking as I walked the iconic wooden bridge, its weathered planks creaking underfoot. The harmony of history, architecture, and nature made the early start worthwhile. For the best experience, come at sunrise with your camera—when the bridge and village glow in soft morning light. We learned from villagers that the wooden bridge follows a seasonal safety protocol - carefully disassembled during high-water periods and reconstructed when waters recede Entrance ticket 🎫: Free

Wuyuan The arrival of spring in Wuyuan means endless blooming rapeseed flowers, which blossom luxuriantly and brightly on plains, terraces, vegetable plots near homes and in the suburbs. For two days and one night, we will explore the thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers and the customs and culture of ancient Huizhou. Please follow me to travel in Wuyuan and enjoy this spring scenery together.

At the terminal, next to the thousand-year-old Zhangshi Bridge, you can see a farmer leading an old cow home. Zhangcun·Lying like a salted fish on the Bandeng Bridge, I walked into the oil painting and enjoyed the deserted Zhangcun wooden bridge alone, blending into the golden waves in the sunset. The fisherman paddled away on a bamboo raft and entered a painting. Sixiyan Village·Flowers blooming under the horse head wall, small stone bridge leading to people's homes The rape flowers here belong to the plain ancient village type. The village is surrounded by a golden sea of ​​flowers, and bluestone roads connect to the wind and rain covered bridges. Putting on Hanfu, it is just like the Huizhou merchants returning home. Day 2 Jiangling: Before dawn, I stole the spring scenery of the entire terraced field Arrived at Shoujiangling No. 1 Observation Deck at 6:00 am. The morning mist was like gauze, and terraced rapeseed flowers climbed from the foot of the mountain to the clouds. When the drone rose, the golden flower waves and the black and white village looked like a paint palette overturned by God. Wangcha: The Village Forgotten by Time In this ancient village that people don’t even bother to mark on the map, the only sound in the flower fields is the flapping of bees’ wings. An old lady in the village said: Desolation and splendor are separated by only a spring rain. Qingyuan Ancient Village: Flowers in the deep mountains bloom more seriously The village is run through by a stream. There is a small bridge every few steps. You can stand on the bridge and watch the water flowing by. The Hui-style houses with white walls and black tiles on both sides are surrounded by flowers and green mountains. You can stroll quietly among them and feel the joy of wasting time. Likeng: Making peace with commercialization Among the small bridges and flowing water, you can choose from Wuyuan local delicacies, as well as Huizhou's special Hui ink and Sheyan tea. Take a rowboat at the entrance of the village to tour the ancient town and experience the feeling of the Jiangnan water village.

Just came back from Wuyuan, I can only say that it was too early😂😂 It's colder this year, and the rapeseed flowers in many places are blooming later. Basically, only 30-40% of the rapeseed flowers have bloomed in the plains. Although it's a pity that I didn't see the rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and plains, I was still amazed by the beauty of spring in Wuyuan. I stayed up late to put together this flower viewing guide. All photos were taken on March 8-9. It is estimated that it will be the best viewing period in another week‼️ For those who plan to go to Wuyuan to enjoy rapeseed flowers, Quickly save this～ 【Route Guide】 I explored the north line of Wuyuan. It's relatively less crowded compared to Huangling and Jiangling. If you also plan to come to Wuyuan during the peak flowering season and don't want to be surrounded by crowds, I recommend choosing this self-driving route.
