Every step I took here seemed to be listening to the whispers of history, and every detail exuded a simple charm. As soon as I entered the ancient town, the stone-paved streets led my steps. The ancient buildings on both sides seemed to tell stories of thousands of years. Green bricks and black tiles, wooden doors and windows, each old house has its unique historical mark. Walking here, it seems to feel the passage of time, every touch has a temperature, every breath carries an ancient breath. Along the way, I tasted authentic Min Dong cuisine, every bite is a feast for the taste buds. The delicacy of tofu brain and the deliciousness of fish ball soup not only satisfy the desire on the tip of the tongue, but also awaken the most primitive enjoyment of life. Every food here contains the local people's love for life and respect for ingredients. And Longtan Waterfall is undoubtedly the most memorable scene in this trip. It rushes down from a high place, forming a spectacular water curtain, splashing water, like a movement of nature. Standing in front of the waterfall, the breeze came slowly, taking away the fatigue of the body, leaving only the inner peace and joy. The cultural heritage of the ancient town also deeply attracted me. Every exhibit in the museum is a witness to history, which makes people understand the cultural heritage of Ningde more deeply. Talking with the locals, their smiles and enthusiasm made me feel the real rural feelings. "Wait for the wind, wait for the rain", in Longtan Ancient Town, this sentence has a deeper meaning.

12:22...5G48 🏄 Oh my god, Pingnan is so beautiful!! Why isn't it promoted?#My favorite corner ⛳ 2 hours from Fuzhou!! Super suitable for weekends and short holidays. Good place to go for Dragon Boat Festival 🏀 This time I stayed in a Longtan village inn for one night and lived a slow life. The village is not big, but it is very delicate. There are many inns, dessert shops and cafes, as well as some art museums. 🎽 The whole village is built along the water flow, and the water is super large on rainy days, especially healing. There are flowers everywhere, so beautiful!! 🎳 Then go to the next Siping Village to play together, Siping Village is staggered and more layered. 🏓 Just pay attention!! Some mountain roads are narrow, especially on rainy days, the fog is very heavy, and you can't see clearly. Also bring long sleeves!! I went on a rainy day, wearing short sleeves and shorts was really too cold!!

Longtan Ancient Village is located in the northeast of Tangquan Township, Taihu County, Anqing City, bordering Qianshan County to the east and Yueshi Mountain and Water to the north, hidden in a small corner of the Dabie Mountains. In various online texts, it is classified as a Huizhou-style residential category, but if you take a closer look or take a few walks in the village, you will notice many differences. 1️⃣First, in terms of site selection, Longtan Ancient Village is not large in scale and is located on a slope surrounded by mountains on all sides. Both the cultivated land and the residential area are problematic. Unlike the independent houses in Huizhou villages, the houses here have a stronger sense of adhesion, and the separated alleys are hidden in them, which is difficult to detect. The main skeleton of the village's transportation is two river walkways, mostly paved with bluestone strips or bluestone slabs. Although some sections of the road have lost their ancient charm after being renovated in recent years, the river channel is more prominent as a result. 2️⃣Second, the water potential is an important factor, and some of the public construction of the village is carried out around this. The houses in the village are basically built on a stone platform above the water level. The ancient village with hundreds of people actually has five stone bridges connecting the two banks. What is particularly special is the artificial stone fish in the middle of the river. According to the on-site sign, it was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The local Hu family ancestors piled up stones in the river. Whenever there were mountain floods and heavy rains, they could block the water and divert the water, which played a buffering and protective role on the river. Longtan Ancient Village was rated as a county-level cultural protection unit in 2009 and was upgraded to a provincial-level cultural protection unit in 2012. Although it is not comparable to the ancient villages of the same level in southern Anhui, for the Wanjiang region where ancient architectural remains are scarce, it is also an ancient village that can retain local architectural features. Based on the disaster-prone Wanjiang Basin under the mountain, the ancestors avoided man-made disasters while struggling with nature. In ancient times, there were two ways to enter and exit the mountain village. Whenever there was a war, the villagers would use bamboo and wood to cover the Ming Road for self-preservation, and the dark mountain road was full of traps. The soldiers and bandits and refugees could not find a way, and they were trapped in the mountains and returned. The ancient village is not only quiet in the years, but also a true portrayal of the hardships of the people's livelihood.

Pingnan - Longtan Ancient Town and Siping Village During the weekend, we prepared for rain when planning, thinking that even if it rained, chatting with friends and family over tea and listening to the rain would be extremely pleasant. The first day was beautiful, and it only rained in the evening. We strolled around Longtan Ancient Town, a small village built along a stream, nestled against the mountains and water, revealing the owner's aesthetic taste with homestays scattered throughout the landscape. We stayed at Zhou Zhou's homestay, where the landlady was particularly hospitable. The homestay had a large public area, and they provided us with a fixed tea table for our tea time. The beauty of the village was reflected in its winding paths. The night was quiet, and when it rained, we enjoyed the tea, chatted, and listened to music, which was very cozy. The food and lodging in the ancient town are quite cheap, and it's generally not necessary to book online unless some rooms are indeed scarce, but they are also very elegant and chic. The next day we went to Siping Village, which is even smaller than Longtan, with a different kind of beauty. It's just a five or six-minute drive away. The village is full of persimmon trees, and it would be a unique scene to visit in autumn. The prices at Siping Coffee are even cheaper than in Longtan, and the stalls in the long wooden corridor at the entrance of the village are unattended, with purchases made by scanning QR codes. There is a waterfall in the center of the village, as well as a bookhouse cafe. The village is very photogenic, with a kind of small and exquisite beauty. It's definitely worth a detour.

Reverse travel during the Dragon Boat Festival! In this drizzly plum rain season, dive into the ancient villages, spent 2 days with friends in the village, where time passed very slowly, unexpectedly, the village is so beautiful even in the light rain (Of course, it is still recommended to visit when the weather is clear!)

Really don't need to leave the province to feel the windy places～ ps The food is all very average, it's recommended to bring your own snacks and instant noodles

A place suitable for quietly daydreaming. Longtan Ancient Village | A place suitable for quietly daydreaming. Located in Pingnan County, Ningde City, set your GPS for Longtan Ancient Town. It's a one-hour drive from Pingnan County, two hours from Fuzhou, and four and a half hours from Xiamen. This place is known as the 'Fujian version of a place with wind' The village is at the foot of a mountain, and after getting off the highway, you need to drive on a mountain road for about ten to twenty minutes to enter the village. The mountain road is easy to drive and not steep, and there is a unified parking lot in the village. It was drizzling on the day I went, with clouds and mist winding around the mountain tops, creating a unique atmosphere. A stream flows down from the mountains, and houses with wooden architecture are built along the stream, giving a sense of Jiangnan landscape. There are art galleries, coffee shops, and research bases here, making it a village with a touch of artistic flair and commercialization. The local customs are simple, and there are self-service unmanned stalls by the stream selling various local products, even including big cabbages, which is quite interesting. For food, there are farm restaurants, snacks, fruit tea, milk tea, and roasted milk coffee. There are many homestays for accommodation, and the prices are not high. But the village is actually quite small, and you can finish walking around it very quickly. If there's no traffic jam, the net driving time from Xiamen is four and a half hours, which is too far. The high-speed train also takes four hours and requires a transfer. I don't think it's worth driving so far from Xiamen, especially since there are so many places you can go within four to five hours. If you are from Ningde, Fuzhou, or nearby areas and it's a one to two-hour drive to stroll around, walk the kids, daydream for half a day, or stay for one night, it's not bad. There are many homestays for accommodation, and the prices are not high. But the village is actually quite small, and you can finish walking around it very quickly. If there's no traffic jam, the net driving time from Xiamen is four and a half hours, which is too far. The high-speed train also takes four hours and requires a transfer. I don't think it's worth driving so far from Xiamen, especially since there are so many places you can go within four to five hours. If you are from Ningde, Fuzhou, or nearby areas and it's a one to two-hour drive to stroll around, walk the kids, daydream for half a day, or stay for one night, it's not bad.

Longtan Ancient Town , a town hidden deep in the mountains and forests, has a unique style and charm🌹! I just got back and can't wait to share the travel tips of these two days with everyone! Transportation: It takes about 3 hours to drive from Fuzhou. Although the road is winding, the scenery along the way is absolutely worth it🉐! Accommodation: I recommend "Longtan Ancient Town Inn", which has an antique charm, a quiet environment, and the owner is super enthusiastic and hospitable! Food: 1. Longtan specialty snacks: You must try the local specialty snacks🥟, such as Longtan rice cakes and Longtan dried tofu, super delicious! 2. Local cuisine restaurants: There are several local cuisine restaurants in the ancient town🤔, the dishes are full of color, aroma, and taste😍, especially the local chicken🐔, which is tender and melts in your mouth. Sightseeing: 1. Strolling through the ancient streets: The streets of the ancient town are well-preserved, with stone roads and old houses🏠, as if traveling back to ancient times. 2. Longtan Waterfall: A must-visit! The waterfall cascades down from the mountains, with a roaring sound, spectacular👍! 3. Tea garden experience: There are many tea gardens around the ancient town, where you can experience the fun of picking and making tea😊.

Live the life you yearn for in Fujian's "Place with Wind" 🌈 Are you overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of busy work life? Do you also long to escape the noise and restlessness of the city? This weekend, Let's escape the city together and head to that place filled with fresh breezes🍃 🚙 Itinerary Day One: Depart from Putian city center, passing through Ningde city, Xiadi village, and Tangkou village Day Two: Visit Siping village, Longtan ancient town, Qiantou village, and Sanfeng village Final Day: Explore Huotong ancient town, then return to Putian This article will focus on introducing Longtan ancient town, For strategies on Siping, please refer to the previous article on the homepage ❤️❤️ Longtan is not far from Siping, just about a 10-minute drive. After visiting Siping on the same route, we head straight to Longtan, Parking🅿️: Longtan has two parking lots, both close to the scenic area. It is recommended to choose the parking lot to avoid fines for illegal parking. Although the architectural style here is largely similar, Longtan is still a worthwhile place to visit. Although Longtan doesn't have as many persimmons as Siping, the scenery is even more charming. The scale of the ancient village is not large, making it a relaxing and enjoyable place to stroll around. Everywhere you look, there are exquisite views, and there are also studios, guesthouses, taverns, and coffee shops... This is an ancient village with a strong artistic atmosphere. Personally, I think it is a relatively mature tourist area, but not highly commercialized, and the prices are relatively affordable. Walking by the small streams of the ancient town, feeling the fresh mountain breeze, chatting with the local elders, we can all share the tranquility and comfort of this ancient town.

📍Ningde Pingnan·Longtan Ancient Town A severely underrated beautiful ancient village!! Compared to those popular tourist spots, I like this lesser-known ancient village more~ The environment here is great, and it makes you want to retire here!! 📷Few people!! Easy to take great photos!! You can take beautiful pictures anywhere!! The village is small, and time flies as you stroll and snap photos~ 🚗Driving is recommended 🎫Free There are many homestays in the village, and if you have enough time, you can stay overnight to experience the unique charm of the ancient village at night~

There are many stilted buildings in the ancient town, as well as a large number of Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings. A small stream runs through the ancient town, and the stone slab street in the town is three kilometers long, showing its simplicity and vicissitudes. There are many cultural and creative shops in the village, which have preserved the old appearance and undergone internal transformation, such as coffee houses, small bars, libraries, tea rooms, and art galleries. Accommodation: There are many characteristic homestays. During the chat, I learned that one of the homestays was opened by a Hong Kong person because he liked the environment here and opened a homestay. Food: It is said that many homestay owners will cook by themselves. If you don't have accommodation, there are many restaurants in the village.
