Huangling Village: A Dreamlike Paradise You Never Wanna Miss - China Walking Tour

Huangling village, China's most beautiful symbol
----------------------⭐⭐
Huangling village, located in Wuyuan county, Jiangxi province, is an ancient village surrounded by green mountains.

It has long been a hot destination for tourists, painters and photographers with its picturesque terraces, seas of rape flowers in spring and colorful harvests in autumn.

The typical Hui-style houses, featuring black roof tiles and white walls, are also well preserved in the village. During the autumn, the villagers always dry their crops, such as corn and hot pepper, which have become a highlight for the ancient village. In addition, the village has been recently honored with the title "China's Most Beautiful Symbol".

The village is surrounded by enchanting scenery the whole year round. In spring, the ribbon-like terraces are covered with golden rape flowers, hailed by netizens as one of the top 10 most beautiful terraces in the world.

In summer, the towering old trees, stone-paved paths and winding creeks drive away the summer heat. Every autumn, the flaming maple leaves and harvested crops on roofs constitute a spectacle for the village, while it also enjoys enormous natural beauty with white snow in winter.

Spring is well and truly upon us; this is the optimum time to marvel at the wondrous landscape surrounding Huangling Village.

The hamlet in Wuyuan County of east China's Jiangxi Province, captivates crowds with its spectacular terraced rapeseed blossom fields, Anhui-style farm houses and heart-shaped pond.

Though it wasn't always like this.

The village has a 580-year history dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). However, by the end of 2008 it was dilapidated and falling into ruins.

Action was needed.

In 2009, the local government pooled private investments to develop rural tourism and transform the village into a resort. Locals swapped their shabby farmhouses for new buildings, offered by Wuyuan Folk Culture Development Company. These farm houses, atop of the terraced mountains, were renovated into shops, restaurants and hotels.

Villagers are employed to work on the resort and also to showcase a traditional folk custom, known as shaiqiu. This involves baking farm produce, such as corn and chili peppers, in the Autumn sunshine and is considered one of the most interesting Chinese folk practices.

With a record high 30,000 tourists in a single day and a plethora of visitors, the village has become the place to go in Wuyuan County. From the grim days of 2008 to the present, the turnaround has been extraordinary.
