1️⃣ The scenery is different in each season, but be sure to check online before you go to see if specific scenes are available, as they are usually only for a short period of time, like Wuyuan's rapeseed flowers in spring, the grass sea during the dry season, and Shicheng in autumn.

Wuyuan, rated as the most beautiful village in China by National Geographic, is so beautiful
💄Hot mom says:
Wuyuan is a place worth strolling around slowly, here is the reputation of "the most beautiful village in China". In spring, there are rapeseed flowers all over the mountains, and in autumn, from the beginning of the sun-drying season to the end of the red maple season, the colorful colors reflect the most beautiful Wuyuan.

There is a 1,300-year-old ginkgo tree, and the village now preserves more than a hundred buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

If you come to Jiangxi, you must visit the tourist attractions in Wuyuan, and experience different scenery
Wuyuan in Jiangxi is a famous tourist destination in China, known for its unique natural scenery and rich cultural landscape. On this beautiful land, there are many fascinating tourist attractions, each of which is worth our exploration and experience.
The first to mention is the most representative attraction of Wuyuan County - Huangling. Walking here is like being in a fairyland in the painting, surrounded by green mountains and colorful forests, with ancient banyan trees standing tall and vigorous in the sun. What's more appealing is the rows of ancient houses located in it, which are not conspicuous but have extraordinary temperament, and are known as one of the "ten most beautiful villages in China". The simple and elegant, unique and fresh architectural style contrasts with the surrounding magnificent mountains and rivers, forming a beautiful and moving picture.
Next, Wantou Village, Jiangwan Village and other places are also worth visiting. Whether it's the golden rapeseed sea in autumn, the green and dripping summer, or the beautiful and unparalleled ink painting; or the snow-covered, crystal clear; or the moonlight of the lotus pond in midsummer is as clean as jade... all are enough to touch your deep feelings for the beauty of nature.
In addition, there are many other fascinating attractions in Wuyuan: Emaoshan Hot Spring, Rainbow Bridge, Ziyang Town, etc. It can be said that every corner exudes different but equally attractive charm.
Of course, in addition to enjoying the natural scenery during the trip, tasting local snacks is also a pleasure not to be missed. Wuyuan tofu soup ring is fragrant and smooth, the fresh mushroom pot is fragrant, the rice cake street is rich and sweet, and the authentic country game just out of the pot has aroused the instinctive appetite of passers-by and tourists.
In short, the pleasant experience that Wuyuan in Jiangxi can bring to you during the trip is far more than the above: the ladder to heaven enters the cloud; the southern country of Daxi Village is like a thousand years of vicissitudes; the old street of Shicheng has witnessed many stories... Let us appreciate these historical heritages and natural environmental protection heavy photography art... At the same time, feel the slowing down of life rhythm and the collision of modern civilization and primitive customs!
Starting from plowing the field with the cattle in the rice field, listening to the long and echoing sound of the morning bell. You can also visit Zhao's Blackwood Carpenter Shop, and enhance understanding through the display of hand-made wood carving chess art collections.
I hope my description can give you a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the tourist attractions in Wuyuan, Jiangxi and their travel experience.

Wuyuan | Shicheng Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area
Unlike many scenic spots, November and December are the off-season for tourism, but the Shicheng Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area in November and December is the peak season for tourism, attracting a large number of photography enthusiasts. I had only heard about people paying for spots online before, and I didn't believe it until I went to Shicheng. I heard from the owner of the homestay that they receive many photography groups every year who go to reserve spots in the middle of the night, which is unbelievable, so crazy! Sure enough, I went there before dawn the next day, but it was still too late, and in the end I could only find a spot on the side and took a few shots

Shicheng Red Leaves in Wuyuan County
We went there by chartered car. We didn't stay in Shicheng the night before, but in Wuyuan County. We got up early at 4 o'clock and set off from the hotel at 5:15. When we arrived in Shicheng, we watched the sunrise on the mountainside and then hurried to Shicheng. It was quite cold at the end of November. The locals said that there are only more than 40 days a year when the red leaves in Shicheng are the most beautiful. We happened to catch up with this time. The ticket is 60 yuan, and you can enter by face recognition. The people who were taking pictures on the hillside said that they all stayed up there one day in advance, and they came out at four o'clock in the morning to occupy the spot (actually, I think occupying the spot affects shooting from various angles), watching the sunrise and the morning mist slowly dispersing, the scenery is indeed very beautiful! I recommend everyone to come and see.

Shicheng Red Maple in Wuyuan: The photos are stunning, but the reality is quite ordinary
In mid to late November each year, there are two places in Wuyuan that are most popular. One is Huangling (Sun-drying Autumn), for detailed guide, please refer to the previous note on the homepage. The other place is Shicheng, a small village located on the north line of Wuyuan, which attracts many photography enthusiasts because of the presence of red maple.
Compared with the photos of mountain mist and interlaced light and shadow on the Internet, the viewing experience of Shicheng Scenic Area without filters is quite ordinary. In my opinion, photography enthusiasts who are close by can go there. If you travel a long distance to experience the autumn in Shicheng, you will probably be disappointed.
🌅 Shicheng Red Maple, the best shooting time is at sunrise
Wuyuan Shicheng Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area, ticket price is 60 yuan. Compared with Huangling, Shicheng is further away, public transportation is inconvenient, it is recommended to drive or charter a car to go there. Wuyuan Old North Station has a daily rural bus to Shicheng, with few shifts.
Although it is called Red Maple Leaf Scenic Area, in fact, there are more Chinese tallow trees in Shicheng. The best shooting time is before sunrise every day, so if you want to watch Shicheng Red Maple, it is best to stay near Shicheng the night before, there are many choices of homestays around.
Compared with the stunning photos on the Internet, the red leaves in Shicheng are not so bright in reality, and the rising fog is not naturally formed, but the smoke formed by burning firewood. If you burn too little, the shooting effect is not good, if you burn too much, it is quite smoky.
🍁 Shicheng Red Maple relies heavily on sunny days, and long-focus shooting is better
Unlike the grandeur of Kanas autumn scenery, and unlike the majestic autumn scenery of Western Sichuan, the autumn in Jiangnan has a few points of delicate and gentle temperament.
The autumn in Wuyuan is also like this, it looks good in photos. But in terms of viewing experience, it lacks a bit of shock. Red maple shooting is very dependent on the weather, only under the sunlight, the red leaves and fog reflect each other, can you take stunning photos. If it is rainy weather, the shooting effect will be greatly reduced.
Since the Shicheng Red Maple viewing platform is a distance from the village, it is best to prepare for long-focus shooting. After the morning shooting, you can return to Wuyuan, or visit the surrounding attractions of Shicheng, the more famous ones are Yaoli Ancient Town, the roundest village in China, Jujing Village; if you like hiking, you can also choose the Shicheng-Changxi hiking route.

On the first day, we first explored the Sixi Yancun on the North Line. This ancient village left a deep impression on me. Although it does not have a strong commercial atmosphere, it retains the original Huizhou architecture, giving people a simple feeling. In the village, we even met a guide dog. Perhaps worried that we would get lost, it always guided us to walk in front. However, when we walked to the exit, the dog no longer followed, and we had to say goodbye. This scene made me feel particularly moved.
Then, we went to Bench Bridge, but it is said that after the flood, this attraction no longer exists, so it is not highly recommended to go. Of course, if you still want to go, it's best to do some research in advance.
While strolling in the village, we also took a photo with the internet celebrity old man leading the cow. We and another family pooled 20💰 to take the photo, which is also an interesting memory.
Then we came to Jujing Village, which is a round village, giving people a special feeling. It's definitely worth a visit👍
In the evening, we stayed in Shicheng to prepare for the morning fog view the next day. Unfortunately, it rained the next morning, and we only captured a little bit of morning fog, which was somewhat regrettable.
On the second day, we came to Likeng on the East Line. There are many people sketching here, and the stone bridge is the most famous attraction here, giving people a feeling of Jiangnan water town. Afterwards, we also went to Shangtan Village, which is a free attraction, but I personally think it's very worth visiting. There are many natural landscapes and ancient buildings here, which make people linger.

The most beautiful maple leaf season in Wuyuan Shicheng is coming, autumn travel guide
✨If I have to describe autumn with a picture, I would choose Wuyuan Shicheng without hesitation. The ancient Huizhou village in the mountains is surrounded by ancient maple trees. The morning sun shines through the smoke on the horse head wall, reflecting with the red maple leaves, outlining a charming autumn picture, which meets all your imaginations of late autumn.
🍂Autumn color of maple leaves in Wuyuan Shicheng, Jiangxi
⛳Check-in place: Cheng Village, Wuyuan Shicheng
Cheng Village, Wuyuan Shicheng, located in the territory of Datangshan Township, northwest of Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, belongs to the north line of Wuyuan tourism.
🍂Best autumn viewing time: From mid to late November, the maple leaves in Shicheng begin to turn red, and continue until mid to early December, which is the best autumn viewing season.
👐Shooting suggestion: The best time to shoot Shicheng maple leaves is around sunrise. You need to go out in the early morning and climb to the hillside opposite the village. There are many people in the peak season, so you need to go out early to occupy a position. After sunrise, the smoke rises in the village, and the sun shines through the maple trees on the horse head wall. This is the most beautiful moment in Shicheng and the most autumnal scene in Wuyuan.
✨It is recommended to use a medium-long focus lens to place the horse head wall and red maple in one picture. Such composition can echo and the sense of layering in the picture.
🚃Transportation: Shicheng is a certain distance from Wuyuan County, the location is relatively remote, more suitable for self-driving, or chartering to go.
Accommodation: There are a large number of homestays built by villagers in the village, and the conditions are relatively general.

So many people come here for its reputation
Wuyuan Shicheng, so many people come here for its reputation, I also came to such a beautiful place to take a look, to add a piece of ultimate puzzle to my journey.
When I came here, I found that the perfect natural studio really exists.
To get the ultimate scenes of ancient villages, autumn trees, sunrise, and clouds in here, just pay attention to such weather conditions: clear mornings and not too much wind, the rest of everything this ancient village will take care of for us: the village will rise smoke at the most appropriate time every day, the wide platform provides the best viewing and shooting angle, the surrounding mountains can shape the best light.

The car is flying fast, and the rain is getting bigger and bigger. The scenery in front of us has become quiet again. From time to time, I turned a mountain, and a small village entered the line of sight. We are slowly becoming familiar with this kind of scenery, and we are no longer as novel as it was when we arrived.
finally saw the toll gate to Chengcun, 60 yuan / person. The information obtained from the previous is that this year's charges are strict, and the difficulty of free tickets is very high. Sure enough, there are managers with red armbands to inspect and supervise. However, if you live in Chengcun, it is still possible to reduce the amount. Remember to discuss with the owner of the hotel.
Passed the pass, because Chengcun is located on the mountain, and the rest is the narrow winding mountain road all the way up. The fog on the mountain is already very strong, and it is magnificent to look down the mountain.
Two villages on Shicheng Mountain, Chengcun and Dai Village, separated by a small hill. Chengcun is surrounded by tall ancient maple trees and enjoys the best of maple. It is also a favorite of tourists. Every year from mid-November to early December, a large number of tourists come in a short period of time, and the village is welcoming, so busy.
Step by step in the village, there is a beautiful view everywhere. The flowers and trees moistened by the rain are crystal clear in the background of the water droplets, shining with vivid luster. Tall houses are surrounded by mountains and waters. In this random walk, I started a confused dream again, and the fog did not decrease. I went to the clouds.
