Exploring Wuyuan's Ancient Villages

Compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I prefer the ancient Huizhou-style villages in Wuyuan. Visiting Wuyuan during the Dragon Boat Festival to explore ancient houses~ If you only have two days in Wuyuan, this ancient village itinerary is perfect for you. May and June are the off-season in Wuyuan, making it an ideal time to relax, recover from work fatigue, and escape the hustle and bustle. This route not only allows you to explore Huizhou-style architecture but also lets you savor local delicacies. 🚗 Transportation: Wuyuan High-Speed Rail Station ➠ Rent a car for self-driving 🗺️ Itinerary: Moon Bay ➠ Likeng ➠ Jiangwan ➠ Huangling ✅ Moon Bay (Free Admission) ❶ Arrive in Wuyuan in the morning and head straight to Moon Bay by rental car to enjoy a leisurely boat ride. ❷ The aerial view of Moon Bay is even more stunning, offering a unique charm whether it's sunny or rainy. ✅ Likeng (Admission: 50 RMB) ❶ A must-visit ancient village in Wuyuan, where you can stay overnight at an affordable price. ❷ In the early morning, you can witness wisps of smoke and morning mist.
