Little Village about 600 kms from Shanghai

Description:
Wuyuan is an old village in the north of the JiangXi province (40 Mio inhabitants). As you will see on the pictures, this place is something different than the big Shanghai.

As we entered Wuyuan, we could see white farmhouses, green camphor trees and yellow rape flowers. For a short moment, we forgot we were in the 21st century. Time seemed to stand still. The houses and the trees had been standing there for 100 of years. A small river flowed slowly through the village. Wuyuan, known as the "most beautiful countryside in China," has at least 50 old villages. Most of the residential houses, big or small, feature white walls, black roofs, elegant eaves, and dark green footstones. An extraordinary landscape where we went for a nice trekking until a lake, beautiful view (see pictures).

We went there with our Taïwanese friends (Hugh, Tina and Nicole) and also Chinese people studying in our university. We spent the Saturday night in one of the local housings, it was all made of wood in a Chinese style, back to the roots! (lol). I advise this place to those who want to discover a tranquil and typical part of China, very nice trip! Thanks to our Taïwanese friends who invite us to this week end!
