Tour itineraries
LEPING – WUYUAN - HANGZHOU
Today itinerary is Wuyan.
It is known as the most beautiful countryside in China with
at least 50 old villages. Each of
those ancient structures has a unique appearance as well as structure. They
emerge from among the emerald green mountains and trees, clear rivers along
with the crisscrossing paths between the fields. Those structures were built in
740 during the Tang Dynasty; its remoteness and inconvenient transportation
protecting its villages' beauty from a large amount of tourists. Local people
there can enjoy the pure, clean brooks, seemingly delicate wooden buildings,
unique bridges as well as the tranquil lifestyle, etc...
This village has turned into an ecological,
cultural as well as tourist demonstration centre of China. (China Travel website)
The tour itinerary of Wuyuan were Likeng Village and Jangling Village.
【Likeng Village】Likeng Village is a cluster of houses constructed along a brook. It is said to be the most scenically beautiful village in the town. The brook is two to three meters wide spanned at different points by makeshift bridges. A rolling stream through the village lived by 260 peasant households along with ancient buildings with its pink walls, black tiles as well as beautiful girls who are washing laundry reflecting from the stream look like natural scenery.(China Travel Website)
Jiangling Village.
It is famous for a perfect and vast expanse of golden yellow rape flowers on terraces, but our timing was late. Instead, the field are all green but it was still awesome. Wuyuan is the birthplace of the Huizhou culture and the Huizhou style architecture are prominent in these old villages.
The entire valley and terraces were filled with rape seed but without the yellow flowers
The beauty of Wuyuan countryside is truly spectacular. Would be an ideal village to retire.
We continued to Hangzhou after the sightseeing.
