The next ten days will be the most beautiful time of the year in this village. There is a village in Anhui called Maihua Yucun (literally "Selling Flowers Fishing Village"), a very poetic name. Although it only sells flowers, not fish, it has a unique geographical location. The village is often shrouded in a sea of clouds in the early morning. Every New Year, the blooming plum blossoms transform this place into a sea of flowers. From a high vantage point in the village, you can see the white sea of clouds and the pink sea of flowers. After the clouds disperse, the Hui-style architecture with its blue bricks, black tiles, and white gable walls is revealed. If you come to Maihua Yucun, be sure to get up early and go to the mountaintop for a unique experience. Travel Guide ① During the plum blossom season, if you drive, you can only park in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and take the village shuttle bus to the village. The round-trip fare is CNY 30 per person. ② It is very convenient to eat and stay in the village. If you want to see the sunrise/sea of clouds, it is recommended to stay overnight. ③ If you want to see the sunrise/sea of clouds, be sure to check the weather in advance. The villagers say that if it rains the day before and is sunny the next day, there is a high probability of seeing the sea of clouds the next morning. ④ Best viewing spot: Maojiashan Trail.
