Time is too short. During this period, we can only choose a limited number of places to visit:

Plan 1: North Route: Sixi, Yancun, Changtan, Rainbow Bridge, Dazhangshan Canyon, Yantian

Teacher Wu’s comment: This plan is rich in content, including ancient villages, scenery of landscapes and covered bridges, primitive natural ecological scenery, and humanistic village Shuikou culture. Among them, there are better places to see rapeseed: Changtan (undeveloped areas, no admission fee), Sixi, and Yantian; the schedule is full for the whole day. Suitable for self-driving guests or chartered cars. If you choose to take local transportation, it will be too late.

Plan 2 East Line: Likeng, Wangkou, Xiaoqi, Jiangling

Teacher Wu commented: This plan is currently the hottest and most well-developed line in Wuyuan. It includes three ancient villages and one natural pastoral scenery. The highlight should be Jiangling, which is the most beautiful and spectacular place to see rapeseed flowers in Wuyuan. It is not developed and does not charge admission. In terms of transportation, it is suitable for self-driving or chartered cars.

Teacher Wu’s comment: In this plan, three ancient villages (Sixi, Yan Village, Likeng, Xiaoqi, among these three ancient villages, Sixi is better for viewing rapeseed flowers and other pastoral scenery), a covered bridge, and two better places for viewing rapeseed flowers (Jiangling and Yantian)

This plan can be based on personal preferences. On the first day, you can arrange the northern route of Li Hang or Dazhangshan Canyon in the afternoon; on the second day, you can abandon Li Hang or go straight to Qingyuan and Jiangling at dawn;

Option 2: Arrive at Wuyuan County around noon. In the afternoon, it is recommended to go to Likeng, Xiaoqi, Jiangling (to see rapeseed flowers), and stay at Xiaoqi; set out from Xiaoqi the next day and visit Rainbow Bridge and Dazhang Mountain. Yan Tian. Return in the afternoon or evening.
