🏘️ Yuandi Village: A Millennium-Old Village Hidden in the Mountains and Rivers Yuandi Village, located in Shang'an Town, boasts over 800 years of history, earning its name from its origins deep in the mountains behind the village. Once a major transportation hub, it retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with winding bluestone roads and scattered ancient houses. Now, thanks to its "charity granaries," it's become a perfect weekend escape for city dwellers. 📸 Must-See Spots: Capture Your Instagram Stories 1. Yuandi Charity Granary: A Real-Life Tulou from "Big Fish and Begonia" 🌸 Resembling a giant circular fortress, its layers of red walls and black tiles create a magical dome-shaped design. Standing at the village entrance, it feels like stepping into a mysterious setting from an anime. 🌸Photography Tips: Wear a plain long skirt or Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) and frame your photos by the stone steps or red walls at the entrance of the Charity Granary, using light and shadow to create a sense of atmosphere. In the evening, the setting sun casts a delicate glow on the red walls, creating a stunningly soft hue. 2. Niulan Coffee – A Clash of Retro and Trendy 🍀Renovated from an abandoned old cattle shed, it retains the original wooden beams and stone walls, complemented by industrial-style lighting and greenery, creating a retro yet stylish feel. 🍀Order a latte or special blended fruit coffee, sit by the window, and gaze out at the ancient village scenery. Every shot will turn out to be a masterpiece. The second-floor terrace offers a stunning view, offering panoramic views of the Charity Granary and the ancient village. 3. Ancient Village Alleys – Savoring the Charm of Time 🌟Stroll along the bluestone paths and visit ancient Ming and Qing dynasty residences like the "Jinshi Di" and "Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall." Their intricately carved doorways evoke the grandeur of prominent families. 🌟Occasionally encountering bougainvillea in full bloom in a corner or corn stalks hanging from the eaves—they both make for authentic photo props, easily capturing a relaxing, pastoral vibe. 🚗 Transportation Guide: Convenient and expedited travel ✨ Self-Driving (Recommended): From the city, navigate to "Shang'an Town Yuandi Village."
