🚩 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon – Wuyi Museum – Tangshi Niutou Restaurant – Wuyi Ancient Town Day 2: Guodong Village – Jingyuan – Huatian Meidi Day 3: Morning rest – Lunch at Wuyi Wooden Barrel Fish – Yuyuan Village Day 4: Niutou Mountain Forest Park – Yanfu Temple – Shanxiabao Village Day 5: Return trip 🍼 Traveling with a baby? This itinerary is quite relaxed! For a tighter schedule, you can compress it by a day. Or, spend more time at Huatian Meidi! ‼️ Check my previous notes for detailed attraction guides. 🚙 Transportation: Self-drive From Fuzhou, it takes about 5.5 hours to reach Wuyi. ‼️ Important reminder: When navigating, ALWAYS choose the full highway route! The smart-recommended route includes a provincial road, "Yunshou Line," which is currently under construction and heavily congested—only one-way alternating traffic is allowed. We got stuck here for over an hour 💔. The highway may be longer, but it’s traffic-free! Plus, tolls are waived during Labor Day! ‼️ From Fuzhou to southern Zhejiang, navigation often defaults to Yunshou Line. This road is tough, especially in bad weather with poor visibility due to fog—strongly NOT recommended ❌. Spend a little extra time and money for peace of mind. 🏨 Accommodation Glare Hotel (Wenquan Road Branch) Has parking, but limited spaces—hard to park. Wuyi Niutou Mountain Dream Hot Spring Hotel Convenient parking, located inside the scenic area (though a short drive from the main attractions). Rooms are dated but spacious! The mountain area stays cool—no AC needed during Labor Day. The hotel offers hot springs ♨️, a small shop, and dining options. 🤩 Why Wuyi? —Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin didn’t lie! Yanfu Temple is simple yet elegant, embodying the charm of Chinese aesthetics. Shanxiabao Village is hidden in the mountains, quiet and untouched—truly breathtaking! I went specifically for these two spots and was utterly amazed! 👣 Overall Wuyi is an off-the-beaten-path destination—even during Labor Day, crowds are minimal. Perfect for a reverse holiday getaway: head to the mountains, explore ancient towns, breathe fresh air, and unwind!

It is not difficult to see the ancient village in Zhejiang, but I want to see Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other ancient houses of different styles in one day, only to go to the museum. The Gion Garden in Wuyi, Zhejiang Province is such an ancient residential museum. This is a private museum located in the Wuyi Hot Spring Resort. During the day, you can see the ancient dwellings and the hot springs at night. This kind of trip is comfortable and comfortable. is built on the mountain, covering an area of 200,000 square meters and collecting more than 80 ancient houses. In many rural areas, old houses are not suitable for the current way of life. Many people have demolished old houses and built new houses. It is a pity that these hundred-year-old houses have been demolished. It is also a kind of protection to collect and display them. Stone Road, Xiaonongtang, the old house relocated from another place has restored its former style. The ancient dwellings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the youngest have more than a hundred years of history, and each house has a story that can't be finished. There are ancient school academies, and there are also large courtyard houses, which have been transformed into antique clubs. Maybe they will be converted into a homestay in the future, allowing visitors to experience the Jiangnan style a hundred years ago. Every ancient dwelling house tells visitors about its unique humanities and historical stories. Walking in it is like walking through different time and space. The "history" from different eras across the country gathers here, and it is full of nostalgia.
