One-Day Itinerary
Morning: It is recommended to arrive at the scenic area before 8:30 am and take the cable car up the mountain. There are two cable car lines, A and B. Line A is closer to the ancient village, while Line B is closer to the second phase of the terraced fields. Choose according to your preference. After reaching the top, stroll along Tianjie Street, admire the Hui-style architecture, and sample local snacks such as steamed cakes and Qingming cakes. Then, visit the sunning workshop and the autumn sunning viewing platform. The light is soft at this time, perfect for photographing the autumn sunning scenes.
- Lunch: Have lunch at the Tianjie Restaurant, which faces the terraced fields and offers a wide view. You can taste Wuyuan specialties such as tofu soup and fermented fish.
- Afternoon: After lunch, visit the terraced flower sea. Although there are no large fields of flowers in autumn, you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields and the autumn sunning. Next, visit Leixin Bridge, which is 298 meters long and 97 meters above the ground, with a 48-meter glass section in the middle. It was a filming location for the TV series "Ode to Joy 2". Finally, stroll along Huaxi Water Street, where the stream flows along the street, a very pleasant experience.
- Evening: If time permits, enjoy the night view of the ancient village. The night lights of Huangling and the ancient village buildings complement each other, creating a unique atmosphere. Afterwards, take the return bus or cable car down the mountain. The last bus back to Wuyuan High-Speed Railway Station is at 18:30, so please pay attention to the time to avoid missing it.
- Photography Suggestions: In addition to the Sun-drying Workshop and the Sun-drying Viewing Platform, the second floor of Wugui Hall and Yixin Building are also suitable for taking photos of the windows. The afternoon light is best for photographing Leixin Bridge and the terraced fields; you can plan your itinerary according to the lighting conditions.
- Dining Recommendations: Besides Tianjie Restaurant, Tiyun Farmhouse is also worth a visit, offering better value for money. The average cost per person is about 50 yuan. Recommended dishes include braised pork with dried bamboo shoots and chicken soup with stone ear fungus.
