The Most Beautiful Countryside in China – Jianxi Wuyuan
( Post Time:April 20,2012 By Lily)
Wuyuan in Jiangxi ranks as the most beautiful countryside in China. In March, everywhere are showed yellow of cauliflower, white of pear flower, red of prunus... Even black white wall of old house was also across the awaken of spring is abundant, the leaves weak yellow, weak green, blackish green...... All things bring people a happiness feeling.
Because of the plenty of rage flower, the bridges with water surrounding, I could not stoping my traveling desire to this place. Never forget passing through the mountain, playing in valley, pumping with joy everywhere on the mount. All things are quiet with overflow hill yellow flowers blossom, as a dream land decorated with mists.
Taking express train or plane from Beijing to Jiujiang first, and then from Jiujiang by high-speed direct bus (only two and a half hours) at long-distance bus station, you will reach to Wuyuan. If you arrive there in the morning, you can drag the trunk and charter a car to play directly.
Coming out from Wuyuan bus station, there will be a lot of personal driver gathered for asking for business. You can pick a cheap price and agree with a good route or take a taxi directly to a site, finish sightseeing and then find another car to go to the next scenic spot.
My first day route is eastern route, staying at Xiaoqi in the evening. Eastern route: Moon bay—Li keng(for lunch)—Wang kou (Yufamily ancestral temple)---Jiang way (ancestral home of Jiangzemen) –Xiaoqi(paradise) staying,
Moon bay: the fist site without entrance fee that the drive drops us off on the road so that we can see. If climb up the top of mount, you can see whole view of Moon bay that island in the river like a curved moon
Moon bay of Wuyuan likes a bending moon, standing in water, quiet during four seasons. if there is a morning fog, sunset glow, fishermen, the rain and snow for she perfected, , that will be like the woman splendid dressed, particularly attractive.
Driving for a while and we come to Likeng, we need buy to a coupon ticket with RMB180 here, 30% discount if you have student ID. A magcard, we can enjoy all the sightseeing here within 5 days. Likeng belongs to bridges with water surrounding of Hui faction, so different with ancient towns at River South.
A gentle river with many small bridges made by wood standing, someone washing dishes and clothes in the river, the whole building looks more old and stately
Let us talk about the typical Hui faction buildings, the image is to be familiar with the common has been showed In view of the painting from hui faction painters. white wall after infiltrated by heavy rain, highlights the natural ink painting effect, present a rare spectacle in sunny days. If look down from up, rows of roof and tree branches on the top, just like ink paintings as nature made.
Occasionally passed through dedicate carved XiuLou, up from the patio, you only can see is "house last night drizzling again" still tell melancholy and dreariness
Of course, there is the characteristic wine shop front, attract visitors for a stop, but few people taste it, as this, it has also become a view
A the time, dewdrop rage flower becomes yellow, raining valley, landscape ink paintings, always staing the memory…
There is almost thousands of history of Likeng, it is a village mainly inhabited with Li surname. According to the legend, it is li shi-mm's descendants. These Hui faction residence is not lack of architectures in Ming and qing dynasties , they strive constantly for self-improvement, strenuously enterprising, for more than hundred officers and riches among one thousand years., These houses built belong rivers jagged strewn at random, vicissitudes but showing massiness, archaic but showing majesty. In Wuyuan, only Likeng can be regards as real bridge, flowing water, residential house.
,
camphor tree woodcarving, bought a symbolizes which cost RMB30, it is so cheap
On the street, women carrying the kids reprimand sometimes and sometimes coax on the way that won’t miss any chance to pick favorite things. Or one calico, a hair sticks, or just fresh gadget still not lay out from pier just now. Bargaining voice heard, crying voice from children, voice from selling goods, carrying splited firewood, shout loudly…
Houses in a mixture of many ancient Ming and qing dynasties in, indoor sculpture is exquisite. There are many teahouses, hotels beside the river, sitting in the attic, facing bridge and flowing water, white walls and black tile, but with somewhat comfortable.
This village is a big one, and with very typical business smell, full of eating and drinking local souvenirs. The business here plays: She inkstone produced from native stone, camphor produced from local wood. Have you ever seen a piece of wood saw, and cut into pieces, and twined into powder, because of the extraordinary fragrance of camphor trees and unique effecting of drive bug. Do these villagers ever thing about:: after wood be cut over, no more, stone mining over, no more, what else they can leave for this village ?but maybe, this is visitors meet trouble halfway, this village with years of history, has the envy of ease and life of leisure

camphor tree woodcarving, bought a symbolizes which cost RMB30, it is so cheap
Local products, bamboo shoots. It is too tired I take by own, but I must eat full of duck when I am still here
The local characteristics stinky dried bean curd
A special snack must be tried after Qingming Festival, Qing tuan.
The busy wharf, in a drizzle wearing square-cut dress men shuttle back and forth between gallery to the streets in drizzle . Between open windows framed on the lounge upstairs, is the landlady sharp voice urged coolie people work faster, or is the young woman in broken cotton print dressed relies on window, unknown.
I removed the broom against the wall, with cameras recording this vicissitudes of life; hear the doubt from woman standing around, nothing worthy for taking picture
After the war of Taiping heavenly kingdom , houses burned more than half, State of Flux, decline of Huizhou merchants , the feudal patriarchal clan system collapse, wangkou village development and decline
Around to the back up of Likeng village is quieter place. To the back of the house has rape flower, ornament blossom.
After climbing from the slope, can take the whole panoramic view of Likeng village
Weather in south is quite magic. When strolling around Likeng , the sun comes out after 5 min raining , and it just only keep half an hour and began raining again.
After the rain of the green flag flashing burnish, with an umbrella for a walk, enjoying the quiet atmosphere around, I found sanctuary.
Bridges and flowing water, the typical artistic conception
Li keng village’s beauty make myself stay there for half a afternoon, soft light make the water bridge of the ancient village more show huizhou character, time and the shutter are so lazy to waste in the Likeng . Picks up the camera, taking a motorcycle at the entrance of village, tell him to Wang kou.
The mountains between paddock stood black wall construction, although it is a new repair house, but also all follow up with Hui’s style to build, without any makeshift. It is not far away from Likeng to Wangkou, just dozens of min by car.
Walking, close to this ancient village slowly, alone with the narrow gallery, pass through till the end.
Wangkou, called Yongchuan in ancient time, belongs to Jiangwan town.
Wangkou was built in BC 110. From then on, wang people here plantation and learning simultaneously, Confucianism and business combine together, thriving there.
Thee are 18 valleys gathering direct behind from village, every access with a households
In the past, wuyuan land not open to traffic, all goods was maily transported by boat . Wangkou is at the northeast of ,wuyuan town and even the famous large goods distribution center of She xian, Xiuning etc of Huizhou
just be at Wangkou, obviously feel here are their rape flower piece planting,without so much commercialized and people, walking in the fields casually
Today's wangkou, is silent and relatively desolate.
Her relatively not only for history and travel information of those recorded on her scene, but also for “must be here “ towards to those the most beautiful villages in China.
"A breeze world-now the yellow" , Perhaps this is the creator e of the nature? And because of the generations prefer the appreciation for beauty of rape flower, rape flower get unique value-viewing at wuyuan. Yes, I never think such common farmland crops in China can have this magnificent picture.More had not expected to, rape flower in terraced layout, make this combination with stereo effect, throw away aesthetic fatigue, Seems that rape flower’s scene must be on those mountains. those houses, , those villagers, those costume can set each other off becomes an interest.
then standing among the drizzle quitely, look at busy villagers, look at light yellow of whole Mt, look at the grey wall and white walls infiltrating in raining , I am thing: this season it is time to; This light rain, it is to the point, this mist, making people remember the mountain in ink and wash the takes effect. This beautiful is the kindness of simplicity and peace after enjoying carefully.
Now you see poling bamboo rafting on Yongchuan river, moored boats, can imagine time rewind
The busy wharf, in a drizzle wearing square-cut dress men shuttle back and forth between gallery to the streets in drizzle . Between open windows framed on the lounge upstairs, is the landlady sharp voice urged coolie people work faster, or is the young woman in broken cotton print dressed relies on window, unknown.
Imagining the ancient wangkou, must be of noise and busy. It has such jam-packed posture in TV play , not only the dock
Yongchuan river’s quietly, can't see depth, but is broad anyway. The bank facing green mountain forest, have long tree-lined paths, making visitors shuttling like concealed, very mysterious.
A sound of Chinese zither spreads lonely, drifting across the river, float into your ears , You look at the thick fog in light green, as if they were with the music soft for a while, and heavy for another while
Walking onto the wet green flag, shuttling in the narrow gallery
I removed the broom against the wall, with cameras recording this vicissitudes of life; hear the doubt from woman standing around, nothing worthy for taking picture
The main shops on the street of Wangkou with local characteristics, general speaking, store in the front , housing in middle part, kitchen behind, warehouse on upstairs such layout. It represents the real ancient dwellings preserved best in wuyuan.
Those guideboard need to look at up, and the legend about those zigzag gallery on the wall. Those gallery for fishpond, wine shop, public houses, gambling, casino, demimonde, etc
Just these names making people excited turn around, as time backs to one hundred before, those men shuttling in each gallery, Casio, drinking, demimonde, very busy, Things change, tThings turn star move
After the war of Taiping heavenly kingdom , houses burned more than half, State of Flux, decline of Huizhou merchants , the feudal patriarchal clan system collapse, wangkou village development and decline
the Wangkou people who taking firewood and cutting camphora, whether will regard the sorties come down from ancestors at leisure?
at the time I consider it comes to the end of Wangkou, it gave us a surprise
at the time I consider it comes to the end of Wangkou, it gave us a surprise
Look up , an Incredibly is almost missed Wufeng archway
Layered and Layered sculpture making dazzling, shallow carved deep carved that you understand what is too many things to see
Stride into the gate house, I just be Gobsmacked
The Wufeng archway, sits on shout facing north, 5 phoenix carved on eaves sculpture.
