The dried tofu has a chewy texture, and when combined with dandelion, the two different ingredients create a unique and delicious flavor.
Some small towns are uniquely blessed with autumn, some romance is uniquely Chinese, and Wuyuan in Jiangxi… perfectly blends the two! 🍁Wunüzhou - The Romantic Charm of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a Romance Unique to China The "Heavenly Palace" in Su Shi's poem The "Boat Full of Dreams Pressing Down on the Milky Way" in Tang Gong's poem Achieved in Wunüzhou A visual feast: "Iron Flower" The "Fire Kettle" popular in September The sheer "shock" of seeing it in person is beyond words. 🍁Huangling - China's Most Beautiful Village: "Autumn Sunning," a Small Town Unique to Autumn The sight of autumn sunning in Huangling is a sure sign of autumn The "green tiles and white walls" of Hui-style architecture The "mountain villages" with barely three feet of flat land Forming a unique autumn sunning spectacle 🍁Below is my "Wuyuan Autumn Weekend Slow Travel" itinerary If it's your first time visiting Wuyuan, Jiangxi, I recommend copying this itinerary directly A slow-paced experience of intangible cultural heritage romance + in-depth experience of autumn sunning culture Saturday Wunüzhou Tickets: 💰110 Key Points: Arrive in Wuyuan by high-speed rail, head straight to Wunüzhou in the afternoon. Many intangible cultural heritage performances, one after another from afternoon to evening. In the evening, go to Wuxian Lake to see the iron flower performance and the fire pot performance; there are usually 2-3 shows. Sunday: Huangling Tickets: 💰140 Trip: Cable car up the mountain - Sky Street - Persimmon Tree - Sun-drying Workshop (Autumn Sun-drying Viewing Platform) - Wugui Hall (Window View) - Slanted House - Shuhe Hall (China Map) - Rooftop Restaurant (Red Maple) - Water Street - Snack Street - Leixin Bridge (Terraced Flower Sea) - Magical Flowing Light Forest (Night Tour) - Cable car down the mountain Key Points: Morning fog, must take the cable car up the mountain before 8 am when the park opens, head straight to the viewing platform. Leixin Bridge is far away, and there are no terraced flower seas in autumn, so it can be skipped. The night tour schedule changes every year, depending on your personal time, so it can be skipped. 📸Best spots for autumn sun-drying photos: Persimmon Tree, Sun-drying Workshop, Wugui Hall, Shuhe Hall 🚖Transportation: From Wuyuan Station, take bus 520 directly to Wunvzhou 💰2 Wunvzhou shared ride to Huangling 💰25 Huangling shared ride Wuyuan Station 💰30 🍁Local Specialties Wunvzhou Lunch: Zhuxianglou, a time-honored brand Evening: Only convenience stores are available in the scenic area, so it's recommended to prepare in advance. Huangling Morning: Wulaoguo (a type of fruit) at the scenic area entrance Lunch and dinner: There are many food options in the scenic area, the most recommended being the snack street in front of Leixin Bridge. 🍁Two Accommodation Options Inside Wunvzhou Scenic Area: Saves on entrance fee, but lacks food options. Huaxing Square: 10-minute taxi ride from Wunvzhou, with a food street. 🍁Some ti P.S. High-speed rail tickets to Wuyuan Station are hard to get. You can go to Wangxiangu at Shangrao Station first, then transfer to Wuyuan Station for Wunüzhou and Huangling, but this will take an extra day. Wunüzhou: Check the performance times in advance on the "Wunüzhou Resort" WeChat official account, especially on rainy days. Huangling: Apple Maps works; just search for the name in the route. To conclude with a sentence about autumn in Wuyuan: "No matter how many times you see a live performance, nothing beats visiting Wuyuan in autumn." #PlacesAskedUpOnWeChat #AncientTownsAndVillagesWorthVisit #TravelingAfterAutumnColors #WeekendGetaway #FirstTripOfAutumn
I. Scenic Spots: Avoiding Pitfalls - Huangling: Opt for the 145 RMB "entrance ticket + cable car" package, explore the residential alleys to capture the autumn panorama, and stay in a village-run hotel with a super affordable 6 RMB breakfast. Don't waste money on the glass plank road or zipline, or stay in the overpriced, noisy Tianjie hotels and drink the 25 RMB Tianjie milk tea. - Jiangling: Take the scenic area's free shuttle bus directly to Observation Deck 2, hike to Observation Deck 3 to photograph the deserted rice terraces, wait for sunset in the evening to capture the golden sea of flowers, and stay in a B&B in Jiangwan Town for 80 RMB per person. Don't drive up the mountain to fight for parking, squeeze into Observation Deck 1 to see the crowds, then head back down afterward to miss the sunset and stay in a premium B&B in the scenic area. - Unexpected surprises: Explore the old alleys of Qingyuan Ancient Village for free, find a spot to take retro-themed photos, and buy fresh chestnuts for 10 yuan per kilogram. At Moon Bay, take free panoramic photos of the sandbar by the river. In the early morning mist, rent a bamboo raft from a villager (20 yuan per person) to capture reflections—a 100% success rate. II. Food: Red and Black Lists - Breakfast: On the red list, choose Chong Xiulian Breakfast Shop (Wengong North Road, known for its steamed cakes and wontons) and Zhan's Steamed Buns (Chaxiang East Road). On the black list, avoid the mobile stalls at the entrance to the scenic area and the breakfast shops near the high-speed rail station. - Lunch: On the red list, choose Jianye Caidao (Building Materials City Branch) or Jiangwan Commune Canteen (within Jiangwan Scenic Area). On the black list, avoid the farmhouses on Likeng Main Street and Huangling Tianjie Restaurant. - Dinner: On the red list, check out Fuchun Pork Trotter Restaurant (Lianglishan Road, known for its delicious pork trotters) and Zhuxianglou Private Cuisine. On the black list, avoid Huishen Canteen and the restaurants in Wunuzhou Scenic Area. 3. Locals' Secret Tricks - Buy a separate 40-yuan ticket to Sixi Yancun. Focus on the wood carvings of Jingxu Hall and the light and shadows of the courtyard, and take stunning photos of the ancient houses. Don't buy a combined ticket to visit Yancun (it's redundant and lacks highlights). - Buy a separate 55-yuan ticket to Likeng. Avoid the popular shops on the main street and explore the alleys to take photos of the Ming and Qing dynasty houses. The 3-yuan Qingming fruit snack at the village entrance is super authentic. #NationalDayTravelDiary #WhatDoesEveryone Do During the National Day Holiday? #WuyuanTravelGuide #CityHumanitiesNotes #HaveFunWithFriends

I found that Wuyuan also has a restaurant on the must-eat list. Zhuxianglou is the only one, near Wunuzhou. So I came out to try it at night‼ ️ The environment is that of a very homely restaurant. And the dishes are quite large, and the price-performance ratio is very good. ▪️ Secret Fragrant Duck The duck meat is marinated and then air-dried. I think the meat is a bit tough. It tastes similar to the taste of soy sauce duck. ▪️ Special Saliva Fish It’s a bit like the method of stamping pepper, but with bean paste. It looks spicy but the actual spiciness is very restrained. ▪️ Bamboo shoots fried meat A large plate of pork belly It goes well with the refreshing bamboo shoots. The overall taste is average, maybe I’m not used to it. It can only be said that it is an affordable and very friendly small shop. It is a bit overshadowed in the must-eat list. #Wuyuan Travel Guide #Wuyuan Tourism #Wuyuan Food #Jiangxi Wuyuan #How to Play in Wuyuan
