Wuyi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Let me recommend a place that I think is off the beaten path but very comfortable
Today, I want to share with you 5 of my favorite hidden gem towns. They are not only beautiful but also rarely visited, making them true niche paradises. 👣💎
1️⃣ Zhejiang Jinhua. Wuyi
In the spring months of April and May, the rolling tea mountains and the pristine ancient villages here are like beautiful landscape paintings. Baocun village at the foot of the mountains remains one of our favorite ancient villages to this day. 🌄🏞️
2️⃣ Anhui Huangshan. Yi County
In the autumn months of November and December, apart from the popular ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi, there are lesser-known ancient villages and attractions here, such as Lucun, known as China's number one wood carving village, and Bishan Village, which has been visited by the artist Lian Jiushi. 🍂🏰
3️⃣ Zhejiang Quzhou. Kaihua
From April to September, at the turn of spring and summer, the Majinxi River runs through the city, offering picturesque scenery. There is not only the spectacular 5A tourist spot Gen Palace Buddha Country, but also a roadside restaurant recommended by Chen Xiaoqing, the director of 'A Bite of China'. 🌊🥘
4️⃣ Guangdong Qingyuan. Liannan
During the spring and autumn seasons, the karst landscape, terraced fields, and streams here form exquisite scenery. The area is rich in ethnic customs, and the thousand-year-old Yao village retains the simple Yao culture. Liannan cuisine is also super delicious. 🌲🍚
5️⃣ Zhejiang Shaoxing. Shengzhou
In the spring and autumn, this place is a paradise for snacks, with numerous delicacies. Surrounded by mountains and converging rivers, the terrain is rich, with mountains and water, ensuring you can eat from morning till night without repeating a meal! 🍢🏔️
A one-day greenway route that not even all Wuyi locals may know about! Few people

2⃣️Yan Fu Temple:
In 1934, the couple Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin conducted field surveys and mapping here.
It is one of the only three remaining Yuan Dynasty buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.
The main hall of Yan Fu Temple is the earliest and most intact Yuan Dynasty building in the Jiangnan area.
It is of great value for the study of architecture during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
Remember to walk inside.
The outside is newly expanded.
The ancient Yan Fu Temple is at the foot of the mountain.

The perfect mountain residence in Liang Sicheng's heart
Located at the southern part of Wuyi County, Xiaobaocun Village lies in the Daxikou Township, an inconspicuous historical village. The village was originally inhabited by several families with the surname Bao, hence the name Xiaobaocun. Built along the narrow valley flanked by the Jinxi River, the village follows the natural terrain, surrounded by mountains with lush forests and good vegetation. The crystal-clear Jinxi River and Gangtan Stream flow through the village, providing a constant stream of water. Liang Sicheng included this place in his 'History of Chinese Architecture', which attests to its historical and cultural value.
A utopia beyond the world, a Peach Blossom Land within
This is the Shanxia Bao Village that was once written into 'The History of Chinese Architecture' by Liang Sicheng.
Scattered ancient residences stack upon the mountain side, reportedly with a history of over three hundred years. Composed of old houses, grey tiles, and stone arch bridges, this simple village is surrounded by mountains, stretching along the stream, truly giving the illusion of being in a world apart from the world...
📍Address: Shanxia Bao Village, Daxikou Township, Wuyi County
🚗Transportation: Inconvenient transportation, it is recommended to drive there
🎫Ticket: No admission fee
🅿️Parking: Free parking spaces available at the entrance of the village
🕐Visiting Duration: 1-2 hours
🌟【Travel Tips】
1️⃣: The ancient village is very pristine, with only a few small shops. It is advised to bring your own power bank and dry food, or to dine in the nearby Liucheng Town.
2️⃣: The stone paths in the village are quite steep and mossy, be careful not to slip.
3️⃣: The villagers are very simple and enthusiastic. You can visit and take photos in the ancient residences, but do not disturb the villagers living there.
‼️Travel Route: Yu Yuan ➡️ Yanfu Temple ➡️ Taishan Temple ➡️ Shanxia Bao Village (It is highly recommended for those who love culture to arrange a day to travel along this route)

A golden stream runs through the village, and both sides of the water play are original ecological ancient buildings that have retained historical traces. Bao Village under the mountain is really a very beautiful secluded village
Location: Bao Village, Daxikou Township, Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province
The village was built during the Yongzheng period and was scattered along the mountain
The compactly arranged green tile houses have a natural beauty of the original ecology
The scenery around is very quiet
The continuous mountains block
Almost all realize the shocking green

Walking deeper into the village
That quiet and quiet temperament becomes more intense
There are many old people in the village
Or walk through the small alley, or walk over the small bridge and flowing water

The foremost ancient structure in the south of the Yangtze River
Yanfu Temple, located in Taixi Town, Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, was originally built in the second year of the Tiancheng era of the Tang Dynasty (927 AD) and rebuilt in the fourth year of the Yanyou era of the Yuan Dynasty (1317 AD). It is one of the only three remaining Yuan Dynasty buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Yanfu Temple covers an area of more than 4,500 square meters, with a building area of 1,000 square meters. The existing architectural complex is arranged along the central axis, consisting of a three-bay mountain gate as the first entrance, a three-bay Hall of Heavenly Kings as the second entrance with a single-wall hip-and-gable structure. The third entrance is the five-bay Mahavira Hall with a double-eave hipped-gable roof, in front of which there is a longevity pool. The fourth entrance is the seven-bay Guanyin Hall, with the central three bays as the main body, flanked by two-story wings on each side, and east and west wing rooms.
