#WOOSHOME(WUYUAN） Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Wuyuan Wushang Homestay | A Healing Retreat in an Ancient Village.
Your skin is tired of air conditioning, your eyes are tired of screens, your ears are tired of noise, and your nose wants to escape the dust and smoke to breathe freely in the countryside.
This summer, why not escape the city and come to Wushang, a place full of healing vibes!
First Impression · Healing Home
The living room becomes the starting point of the story, where vacation also feels like coming home. The living room in Wushang is mainly decorated in a cozy style, with an ink-gray fireplace and warm-toned Italian hand-painted leather sofa. The green plants in the atrium skylight add more vitality to the entire space. As time flows, the plants converse with the space, books accompany the fireplace, and in the silent and subtle moments, there is a soothing power that extends a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, giving you a healing feeling.
In the Kitchen · Amidst the Smoke
Another delightful spot in Wushang is the kitchen! This is my dream kitchen, with an open design, a 7-meter kitchen cabinet displaying glass storage jars filled with various ingredients, and a 3-meter large island space that can be arranged freely. The highlight is the traditional Chinese stove filled with the aroma of steaming rice and stir-fried cabbage with lard! Occasionally, a breeze passes through while cooking, busying yourself over the chopping board, with lively ingredients, and looking up to see the green mountains and rivers.
In the Room · Full Window View
The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows paired with the green river and lush greenery weave an elegant and dreamy scene. The integration of natural materials like cotton, linen, raw wood, and vintage elements brings a rich sense of sentiment and texture to the bedroom. On a summer evening, with the sunset adorning your cheeks, sit by the window in a comfortable lounge chair, quietly gazing at the sunset, immersed in the scenic beauty.
Life · Little Surprises
Breakfast time brings the surprise of delicious and rich meals and exquisite tableware in the kitchen cabinet. At noon, the sunlight sparkles on the river, the wind stirs up ripples, dancing with the light, creating a dreamy scene. Unintentionally, the afterglow of the sunset seems to paint the walls and floor. The dappled light and shadow cast through the windows, the swaying tree shadows, the distant mountains, and the river with the pink sunset on the horizon bring surprise. The surprise lies in every inch of texture in the details, which also represents the texture of life, fulfilling all your imaginations of home. Wushang uses exquisite tableware, artistic light and shadow, and detailed decorations to return to the texture of the objects themselves. In this naturally friendly space, we believe that a space filled with emotions can bring you unexpected surprises!

Wuyuan's Summer
Wuyuan has Huangling, Wunüzhou, and Wushang.
Green mountains, ancient villages, and the chirping of insects.......
Wuyuan's summer always touches everyone tired of the city.
The Huizhou architecture in the misty rain, the lush greenery stretching out.
A mountain, a tree, a house, these are the colors of Wuyuan's summer ink painting.
Following the mountains and rivers of Huizhou, following the breath and pulse of nature, Wushang will take you to experience the most healing rural life in Wuyuan.
Huangling—White walls, black tiles, and autumn red.
This mountain village-style ancient Huizhou village, with no flat land for three feet, has created the most beautiful Chinese symbol—sun-drying in autumn. The colorful drying baskets decorate the ancient village with a full atmosphere, forming a unique sun-drying folk landscape. This is Huangling.
Huangling is not big; it actually takes only about half a day to walk through. However, Huangling has the problem of being crowded and heavily commercialized. Most of the time, it is expensive and not quiet. If you want a quiet vacation and a good night's sleep, Wangkou, 17 kilometers away, is a good choice.
Here, it is pure, quiet, and not heavily commercialized. You can calm down and experience the unique beauty of rural life and Huizhou architecture.
Wangkou—A thousand years of Huizhou, leisurely and free.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, as an important waterway commercial transportation hub between Huizhou and Raozhou, Wangkou was very prosperous, with numerous shops, merchants gathering, and busy shipping. It was the regional commercial center and important water transportation port in the southeast of Huizhou and the northeast of Wuyuan. Time has passed, and the former prosperity has gone, but the beauty and simplicity remain.
The ancient mountains and forests, ancient docks, ancient commercial streets, ancient alleys, ancient ancestral halls, and many official residences, merchant houses, residential houses, and study rooms scattered in the eighteen ancient alleys are well preserved, still retaining the historical appearance of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with rich historical and cultural heritage and deep Huizhou cultural roots.
Starting from Wushang, follow the thousand-year-old footprints of Wangkou:
Wangkou Pingdu Weir—Wushang—Wangkou Scenic Area Entrance (Thousand-Year-Old Camphor)—Xiguan Bridge—Thousand-Year-Old Street—Yu Clan Ancestral Hall—Wangkou Viewing Platform.
Wushang—Healing life in the Jiangnan of Huizhou.
In the summer of Wushang, enjoy a thoughtful breakfast when the sun shines down in the cool morning, stroll on the bluestone road of Wangkou, watch the smoke rise, and feel particularly relaxed.
In the summer of Wushang, it is a lazy afternoon, accompanied by the sound of cicadas and the fragrance of rice, taking a sweet nap, reading a book on the peaceful terrace.
In the summer of Wushang, it is the evening of the sunset, with broken light scattered on the river, lying on a deck chair on the water platform, embracing the mountains and rivers, as if all worries disappear at this moment.
The ink background outlined by white walls and black tiles, the earthly smoke surrounded by green mountains and flowing water. The thousand-year-old Wangkou retains its original appearance, and such Huizhou mountains and waters are more touching. With countless sceneries, don't forget the original intention of departure.

The rare sense of ease in life, but I found it here in Wuyuan
Just a little bit more, and I would have missed such a wonderful homestay. Initially, when I booked the room, I was only attracted by the beautiful photos taken by the owner, without caring about the reviews. Fortunately, I didn't miss out, otherwise, I would really regret it.
The first thing I saw upon arrival was the ink-wash style Hui-style house, which evokes a romantic feeling that seems to be etched in the bones of the Chinese people.
The sofa in the living room is too much to my taste, with its retro tones, and it looks very comfortable.
The cotton and linen bedding in the room, the Nordic retro style, the furniture full of texture, every detail exudes exquisiteness. Sleeping in such a room is really relaxing.
The most important thing is that the owner said they designed 8 different styles for such rooms, which really piqued my curiosity. Next time, I have to check in to every style!
The breakfast here is also very distinctive, with exquisite presentation, and it is the no.1 in my mind that I've encountered. The restaurant also has style, a feeling of liveliness and elegance coexisting, making one want to eat well and live well.
The most precious thing about life here is the sense of ease it gives me. After breakfast, wandering around the scenic area, the bluestone paths give a feeling of stepping on time, capturing the moment. The surrounding mountains and rivers allow one to clear the mind and feel refreshed.
And the afternoon time is not boring either, the small cakes and drinks here are very refreshing, all made by the owners themselves.
You can also try your hand at making wood-fired pizza; this place really has a sense of life being full, yet relaxed.
For this sense of ease, I am truly willing to travel a hundred times!

Spring Outing | I found a treasure guesthouse in Wuyuan
I found a treasure guesthouse in Wuyuan. Compared to urban life, nature achieves a different kind of richness in a pure way. Situated in the Wangkou scenic area of Wuyuan, the guesthouse, with its own style, brought a unique vacation experience to my trip. 😘
There are no imposing skyscrapers, just the ink-and-wash Huizhou-style houses, simple grey tile roofs and water-milled walls, high-quality furniture and decorations, surrounded by a vibrant river and green fields, very free and healing.
My spring, my journey, is made more beautiful by this place. 🌸

For a weekend outing with the kids, head to this homestay in Wuyuan, fun for all ages
Come play in nature, the homestay's courtyard has a small river for water play
and a viewing terrace designed for enjoying the evening breeze.
Accommodation: Wuyuan Shangwushang Homestay
Travel: 200 meters west of the entrance to Wangkou Scenic Area, Jiangwan Town, Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province
Once checked in and luggage is set aside, the kids can't wait to play in the river. The homestay's river even has a water platform, and in summer, kids can catch fish and have water fights. In the evening, you can also watch the sunset while sipping on a drink and enjoying the breeze.
On summer nights, there are really a lot of stars, it truly feels like you can pluck the stars from the sky! Plus, it's very cool, making it the perfect place for walking with kids, vacationing, and playing in the water to escape the heat.

The ceiling of the homestay in my heart is definitely the Wuyuan Wushang!
It was a very pleasant travel accommodation experience, although it was a short three days and two nights, but the environment and service of Wushang really gave me a sense of silent protection and constant safety. The boss responded almost instantly to any requests, and there were even good night desserts at night, which really touched my heart!
The room type I booked this time was also very much to my liking, with Wushang's exclusive scented candles in the room, which had a very unique fragrance. There was also a super comfortable lounge chair by the window, sitting by the window to enjoy the scenery, playing with my phone felt really nice, just like at home. I'm not exaggerating about this lounge chair, it was so comfortable that I wanted to take it home, and when I asked the boss, he said that Wushang could also help order one, which was really a surprise! I easily got the same model of the little chair!
I will definitely come back next time, to the mountains and waters of Wuyuan, to the home of Wushang~

The homestay in Wuyuan has fulfilled all my yearnings for rural life
Catching the tail end of March to see the flowers in Wuyuan, and also to find a homestay to hide away in the mountains and rest well.
Homestay: Wuyuan Vacation Homestay
Address: Wangkou Village, Wuyuan County (a not so popular, but lively small village)
The Huizhou-style facade conceals a homestay full of life. On the first floor, there is a western kitchen with bottles and jars of ingredients, all the baking tools, and a squeaky coffee machine... Outside, there is also a self-built pizza oven. In front, there is a very wide river but the water is very shallow, allowing you to directly go into the water and play with kayaks.
I booked a room called 'Movie Home,' which is a duplex with two large beds. The attention to detail is also full... My favorite is the custom-made all-copper faucet, which really looks good paired with micro-cement.
Just staring at the mountains and rivers to recharge
It's really comfortable~
A great place to relax and escape from the world!
