Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small town recommended by National Geographic.
When it comes to traveling in Jiangxi, you can't miss Wuyuan, which has been rated as the most beautiful countryside in China by National Geographic. 🌾 As the autumn wind rises and the white dew falls, Wuyuan is about to welcome its most beautiful moment of the year. Wuyuan, with its dreams full of clear boats and starry rivers, is busy with every household drying the autumn harvest in Huangling, and there are also small, obscure ancient villages nestled among the mountains and water, as if stepping into a painting of autumn scenery. 🍂

🌳 Attractions
1⃣️ Shangtan Village
🎫 Ticket: Free
The filming location of the movie "I Am Not Madame Bovary", there is a thousand-year-old 🌳 camphor tree at the entrance of the village, witnessing the changes of years here, still flourishing and full of vitality. Walking in the ancient village, ancient and quiet, as if in a 🌿 Huizhou ink painting.
2⃣️ Longwei Village
🎫 Ticket: Free
The village retains its original Huizhou architecture, with antique charm. Behind the village is a stream, with clear water that you can play in and explore, or you can take a 🛶 bamboo raft and drift along.
3⃣️ Sanyan Bridge
🎫 Ticket: Free
Located at the source of Duanxian Reservoir, this century-old 🪨 bridge, weathered by wind and frost, remains uncarved and chaotic. It can only be fully seen when the creek dries up; otherwise, it 💦 disappears into the water, leaving no trace. Nearby is a vast grassland, surrounded by green mountains, making you feel like you're in Xinjiang.
4⃣️ Huangling
🎫 Ticket: 145 yuan (including cable car)
Perched on a 500-meter cliff, the village ⛰️ is built against the mountain. When autumn comes, every household hangs out their harvested 🥕 crops on windowsills and rooftops, a process called "drying the autumn harvest." With the sunset glow and the lights of ten thousand households, it is full of the warmth of the world.
5⃣️ Wunvzhou
