National Geographic didn't deceive me; I was truly amazed by the beauty of Hongcun

The beauty of Hongcun is split between spring and autumn. In spring, the mountains are covered with rapeseed flowers, as if spring accidentally spilled a golden palette; in autumn, Hongcun presents a different kind of beauty. Here you can experience the autumn-drying customs and check in for the autumn-limited chrysanthemums. 🚉Transportation: 🚄Direct high-speed train to Wuyuan Station 🚌From Wuyuan high-speed train station, you can take a bus (20 yuan/person, every 30 to 50 minutes) 🚖Taxi fare is about 60 to 70 yuan, 🚗For self-driving, you can drive along the mountain road to the scenic parking lot. 🎫The ticket price for the round-trip cable car and admission is 145 yuan, it is recommended to book a day in advance for 140 yuan. 🌈Recommended route: Village Square➡️Zhushan Academy➡️Huaxi Water Street➡️Tianjie➡️Zhongwu Square➡️Patriotic Wall➡️Photography Bar➡️Lai Shai Cottage➡️Yixin Building➡️Shai Workshop➡️Wuguitang➡️Autumn-Drying Platform. 🚠Cable car options: 🔖The advantage of the ancient village cable car is that you can see the autumn-drying earlier 🔖The advantage of the terrace cable car is that it is relatively less crowded 📸Photo spot recommendations: 🌟Shai Workshop, where you can feel the autumn-drying up close 🌟Wuguitang, with a popular window-pushing spot, offering an excellent view 🌟The large autumn-drying platform is the commanding height of the ancient village, overlooking the entire Hongcun 🌟Photography Bar, with a better view on the third floor 🌟Patriotic Wall, with a wall printed with the map of China, it's better to shoot the distant view from below the Photography Bar 🌟Leixin Bridge, a glass walkway, where you can see the full view of the terraced rapeseed flowers 🏡Accommodation: 1️⃣There are two homestays on the mountain, Tianjie Hotel (price about 500 yuan) and Shaiqiu (price about 1000 yuan), with different prices at different times, the advantage is that both have nice scenic views and allow for more playtime. 2️⃣The homestays at the foot of the mountain are relatively affordable, priced at about 300 yuan, and the difference is not significant. ‼️Note: 🍥It generally takes 3 to 4 hours to tour Hongcun, and it is more appropriate to leave after four in the afternoon.
