The Mei flowers in Maihua Fishing Village have bloomed, and taking advantage of the weekend, I drove for four and a half hours, only to unexpectedly encounter the rare freezing rain in Anhui, and for the first time saw the 'candied Mei flowers', which was quite a unique experience.
Maihua Fishing Village, the number one village in She County, is named for its resemblance to a fish: the village head looks like a fish mouth, the village waist like a fish belly, and the village foot like a fish tail. Viewed from the mountain above, the village resembles a big fish, and the villagers have been living off selling flowers for generations, hence the name.

Enjoying the spring and admiring the plum blossoms, this fairy village in southern Anhui is amazing
Hidden deep in the mountains of southern Anhui, the Flower Selling Fisherman's Village is an excellent secret spot for admiring plum blossoms in spring!
The Flower Selling Fisherman's Village, a small mountain village that only sells flowers and doesn't fish, is like the 'Peach Blossom Land' in Tao Yuanming's writings. Here in spring, pink plum blossoms bloom all over the mountains, with morning mist lingering, and under the contrast of the pink walls and black tiles of Huizhou-style buildings, it is as poetic and picturesque.
Every year, countless tourists come here for its reputation, immersing themselves in this sea of spring flowers. This privately hidden flower viewing secret spot is located in Shexian County, Huangshan, Anhui. The flowering period is usually from mid-February to March each year. If you're lucky, you can even arrive at the village before sunrise and capture the beautiful scenery of the misty clouds.
The best shooting spot is a small pavilion on the hillside south of the village, whether for watching the sunrise or observing the sea of clouds, it's an excellent choice. After shooting the sunrise, follow the mountain road around back to the village, and you can basically capture all the spots.
Spring has arrived, hurry up for a spontaneous trip, go to the Flower Selling Fisherman's Village, and feel the romance and beauty of this utopia!

Check in at the flower-selling fishing village
Entering the flower-selling fishing village is like entering a fairyland of flowers, with flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. In the garden, by the roadside, in front of the door, in the courtyard, the green leaves are full of colorful flowers, purple and red, brilliant, graceful, and fragrant.
GENEVIEVE RIOS
Let me take you to see the sea of plum blossoms all over the mountains - the best scenery of the flower-selling fishing village!
As winter approaches its end, the world of plum blossoms gradually enters its prime. This is an astonishing sea of plum blossoms, with red and white flowers spreading from the top of the mountain to the village, like an unreal dream falling from the sky. All of this, whether it's adorned with clouds and fog or dyed by the sun, can shake people's hearts.

Accommodation: There are some farmhouses in the village for accommodation, which is convenient for getting up early to enjoy the scenery the next day. There are more accommodation options in Shexian County, 10 kilometers away.
Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, and it takes about half an hour to travel more than ten kilometers from Shexian County (if you don't get up early, it is expected to be congested).
Parking: There are a few parking spaces in Maihua Yucun (it is difficult to park during the flowering period unless you enter in the middle of the night). The scenic area will set up a large parking lot and shuttle bus at the Nanyuankou Bridge.
Shooting TIPS: 1. From aerial photography to ground shooting, from shooting flowers and plants, Huizhou ancient buildings, to portrait shooting, it is suitable here. Early in the morning after sunrise and before sunset in the evening are the best shooting times. The village is easily shrouded in fog. If you are lucky, you can encounter advection fog and other fog with just the right density, which is too absolute! 2. About the shooting point, after entering the plum blossom village, there will be multiple high points suitable for flower viewing, distributed at the entrance of the village, on the ridges on the left and right sides of the village, there will be obvious trails leading up the mountain, of course, there are many beautiful small scenes in the village and on the trail worth shooting and recording.
When to go to see the flowers: The flower-selling fishing village usually reaches the best state of flowers all over the mountains in mid-to-late February, which of course is also related to temperature and other environmental factors. Try to pay attention to the local weather in advance when you go to find the scenery. If you encounter half a week or more of sunny weather in mid-to-late February, the state of the flowers will definitely reach the best.
