Yunshuiyao, heritage ancient town in Fujian

#freehotelstay There are many preserved ancient towns in China (guzhen) which have become very touristy. At first glance, Yunshuiyao appears to be one of them, with loads of tourists and tour guides clambering about for photos. However, if you veer off the main area for a little wander, it's still possible to catch quiet glimpses of this charming water town by the world-renowned circular tulous. A bit of background on Yunshuiyao: 🌳 The town is defined by the many ancient banyan trees growing by the river- there are 9 of them which are thousands of years old! See if you can spot the couple banyan tree by the main entrance to the village! 🎭 The town has been renamed after a famous Chinese movie that was filmed here over 15 years ago starring Vivian Hsu 🎥 While most of the houses by the river have been converted into gift shops and cafes, there are still residents living in the village, and you can see them carrying on with their day to day life, be it sunning chillies or tending to their gardens. Allow yourself to slow down and stroll, and just soak up the atmosphere, like the dog in the last picture 😉 #china #culturalheritage #schoolholidays #fujian

Tulous at Yunshuiyao

I spent an afternoon at Yunshuiyao scene area looking at the tulous. They were all very large and impressive! The path goes along the water and was nice on a sunny day. I also got to see a little puppet show happening. I stored my suitcase at the entrance of the area and then was free to explore for the afternoon. After I was done I got my bags and took the number 6 bus down to Nanjing to get the bus to Xiamen. It’s definitely possible to see the tulous on your own without a tour guide!#tulou

Come to Yunshui, feel its peace and quiet, you seem to float in the fairyland of smoke and fog. A long ancient road, a hundred years old, a bamboo, water, and dreams, everything seems to be detached. Walking through the clouds, you can feel a hidden temperament. The people here still maintain a very natural and primitive state of life. Women in twos and threes will wash their clothes by the water and gossip. The waterwheel keeps turning around day and night, just like in the movie "Clouds". In the distance, the green mountains are like mountains and the water is like a mirror. The sky, the clouds and the old houses are projected into it. It is really a "cloud water".

In the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, everyone will yearn for an idyllic poetic life, and Yunshuiyu, hidden in Nanjing, Fujian, is such a desirable one. Yunshui, the first time I heard this poetic name reminds me of the PC game "Xuanyuanjian-Cloud and Mountain" that I once played. Formerly known as Changjiao, Nanjing Yunshuiyu is located in Nanjing County of Cangzhou City and belongs to a scenic spot of the world cultural heritage Fujian Tulou!

Its time to watch the fireflies. The grass that had been drilled for two days in the Fujian Tulou was almost carried out by mosquitoes. I didnt take the most beautiful look of fireflies. Im going to find another place to shoot fireflies this year~

Nanjing·Yunshuiyao Ancient Town|||

|||. Yunshuiyao Ancient Town is a historic village with a long history, originally named Changjiao. It gained fame after the movie 'Yunshuiyao' was filmed here, and the local government later renamed it 'Yunshuiyao Ancient Town'. The town boasts breathtaking ancient banyan tree clusters that are over a thousand years old. A wide stream flows through the middle of the village, alongside which there are 13 ancient banyan trees, some hundreds and some thousands of years old. The largest tree has a canopy covering an area of 1933 square meters, requiring more than ten people to embrace its trunk. Beneath the banyan trees is a thousand-year-old cobblestone path, which has been worn smooth by countless footsteps over the years. The ancient path is over 10 kilometers long and, according to historical research, was the essential route from Changting Prefecture (Longyan City) to Zhangzhou Prefecture (Zhangzhou City), now known as 'Yunshuiyao Ancient Path'. Next to the ancient path, there is a row of two-story old brick-and-wood structures, which is the centuries-old street market of Changjiao. Moreover, the most eye-catching sights in the village are the earthen buildings scattered at the foot of the mountains, along the stream, and across the fields. These earthen buildings, which began construction in the mid-Yuan dynasty, are listed as 'World Cultural Heritage' for their magical shapes and unique cultural significance. There are 53 well-preserved earthen buildings in Yunshuiyao, each with its own unique charm. The most famous are the Hegui Building, which is built on a marsh and known as the 'world's most extraordinary', and the Huaiyuan Building, which is a double-ring round earthen building known for its exquisite craftsmanship and good preservation. Yunshuiyao Ancient Town offers a pleasant scenery where mountains, water, trees, and houses complement each other, making it an absolutely beautiful and spiritually inspiring place.

To see this thousand-year-old banyan tree, I came to Yunshuiyao

Yunshuiyao, originally named 'Changjiao', was named after the filming of 'Yunshuiyao'. ✨The attractions of Yunshuiyao are far more than this. There are 13 hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old banyan trees, a hundred-year-old street and a thousand-year-old ancient road. The oldest banyan tree is next to the water wheel. 🎐Of course, you can't miss the earth buildings when you come to Yunshuiyao. The most representative ones are 'Huaiyuan Building' and 'Hegui Building'. Huaiyuan Building is a beautifully crafted and well-preserved double-ring round earth building; while Hegui Building is built on a swamp and is known as the 'world's first wonder'. Both buildings have their own viewing characteristics. 💕Tour suggestions 1️⃣Few people and beautiful scenery: If you want to avoid the bustling tour groups when taking pictures, it's best to stay in the scenic area and start touring in the morning. I chose the homestay next to the water wheel, which is very convenient to go to Hegui Building and Huaiyuan Building. 2️⃣Photo spots: -Under the ancient banyan tree, water wheel, small bridge and stone beach in the direction of Hegui Building; -Next to Huaiyuan Building is the Earth Building Culture Museum, the mottled earth wall is very interesting; -Under the banyan tree, the tea stall bamboo chair or the stream side are all good photo positions. 3️⃣Try to choose flat and comfortable shoes when entering the scenic area. Most of the scenic area is cobblestone road, which is very inconvenient to walk. 4️⃣The sugarcane passion fruit juice and home-made dried tea leaves in the scenic area are very good. 5️⃣The earth buildings can generally only be viewed on the first floor. If you want to go upstairs, you can pay the residents 10-15 yuan. -Practical Information- 🎫Ticket｜Scenic area includes two-day pass 90 🚕Transportation｜We drove from Zhangzhou, about 1 and a half hours, about 2 and a half hours from Xiamen. 🎪Accommodation｜There are many homestays in the scenic area, almost all of them can be used for meals, and the local fish is very fresh. ❤️❤️❤️ ▪️Under the towering banyan tree next to the water wheel, sit on a bamboo chair, gently shake the cattail fan, sip tea slowly, this picture is very similar to the scene at grandma's house when I was a child. ▪️Just in time for the local annual temple fair, every household has a red basket filled with chicken, pork and various pastries. Early in the morning, they have started to prepare for the jisi. Looking at the gift list, I found that the people here are all surnamed 'Jian'.
