Fuzhou Surrounding Self-Drive | Escape the city! A clear plan for one day
🌈 Avoid the crowds, catch the tail end of the holiday,
feel the slow life of the village
Off-season to Pinnan! Really comfortable~
.
🚗 Drive from Fuzhou, round trip to Pinnan in one day, experience two villages in one day
🛣️ Route: Longtan Village - Siping Village
(If there's time, you can also make a detour to Gutian on the way back)
.
📍 Longtan Village
It's already very well developed, with many homestays and restaurants
There are also art galleries, studios, and yellow wine museums
The best photography spot: the high ground near Shuikou Bridge (overlooking the entire village)
Touring time: 1-2h
Parking lot: Paid
.
📍 Siping Village
Not far from Longtan Village, the village is more concentrated
In autumn, when the persimmons are ripe, it's the peak season for this village
Touring time: within 1h
.
✅ Lunch: Longtan Village
The farmhouse restaurants in Longtan Village are richer compared to other villages, it is recommended to solve the meal here.
Chose one with a higher rating on reviews.
Recommendations: Rice-burned rabbit, Pan-fried autumn chrysanthemum kueh
If there are more people, you can also try taro noodles, wine lees meat
.
✅ Afternoon tea: Siping Village
The croissants from Xiaoxiang French Bakery are not to be missed! Besides the great taste, it's also the best spot for viewing.
.
💫Ps. Driving in Longtan, Fuzhou, there are many winding mountain roads, which is a test of driving skills. The villages are quiet and very suitable for relaxation~ One day is more than enough for these two villages. 'Xiadi Village' is remote, on the contrary, if there is still time, you can go to Gutian County on the way back.

90% of people in Fujian don't know about this idyllic village with small bridges and flowing water
Fujian's version of 'Go where the wind blows' - Pingnan's Siping Village truly lives up to its name!!
It's a revered ancient village that you'll want to visit again and again~
Siping Village has a low visitor count, making it very serene and pleasant.
At the entrance, there's a long corridor for cooling off, with agricultural products neatly arranged on both sides, unattended.
Visitors are expected to scan and pay on their own.
The houses are scattered in an orderly fashion, and taking photos from the higher ground looking down is particularly picturesque.
There aren't many specialty shops, but each one is heartfelt.

The 47 Tree Art Center above is great for taking pictures!
There are many artists' exhibitions, with tea, wine, and coffee.

Go straight to Beiqian Village after wandering through Longtan Village at noon.
The distinctive feature of Beiqian Village is its yellow rice wine.

Siping Village
A Fujian provincial-level historical and cultural famous village and traditional village, hidden deep in the mountains.
Known for its production of seedless persimmons, Siping Village has become a popular 'check-in' spot for tourists and photography enthusiasts.
Yellow walls and black tiles, arranged in a picturesque disorder, are dazzlingly colorful and quietly elegant.

Fujian | The Uncharted Stunning Ancient Village
The Uncharted Stunning Ancient Village. Leaving the bustling city, stepping into the 'slow life' of the ancient village, you gaze upon the well-arranged ancient architectural complex, listen to the babbling brook, and unconsciously reminisce about Lijiang. Both are ancient towns, yet they possess distinct cultural heritages.
Siping Village is like a small Lijiang hidden in the mountains
The mud-walled houses in the village date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and are now largely uninhabited by locals.
Most of the houses have been renovated and turned into beer houses, music bars, coffee shops, craft workshops, bakeries, and even guesthouses, making it a truly artistic little village.
Just walk into any small shop, order a drink, and sit for the whole day~ Enjoy the scenery and space out

I also want to live in seclusion here like the ancients
Like the wind persimmons, picking up the warm and worn-out leaves, hurt but not sad
Sparse shadows, short sentences lightly chanted, left to the coarse wall, old face

The unknown beautiful ancient village - Siping Village
Fujian, on this land hiding countless treasures, there is such an unknown beautiful ancient village - Siping Village.🏮🏮
Here, you can put down the hustle and bustle of the city, walk into the quiet alleys, touch the orderly ancient architectural groups, the sound of the stream in your ears, as if time is flowing backwards, returning to the leisure time of Lijiang. But don't forget, although it has the charm of the ancient city, the cultural heritage of Siping Village is unique.
Siping Village, like a small Lijiang hidden in the deep mountains, quietly waiting for the arrival of tourists. The mud houses in the village have witnessed the vicissitudes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now few people live in them. And those old houses that have been repaired have changed into beer houses, music bars, coffee houses, handicraft workshops, bakeries, and even cozy homestays, forming this artistic village.
Here, you can walk into a small shop at will, order a drink, and sit for an afternoon. You don't have to worry about the passage of time, just look at the scenery, be in a daze, and let your soul relax completely. Siping Village is such a place where your soul can dwell poetically.🌄🍃

Shocking! There are such beautiful villages in Fujian
Shocking🤯 There are such beautiful villages in Fujian, the small Wuyuan, the most beautiful ancient village in China, the small Wuyuan in Fujian, the Siping Village in Pingnan, Fujian
Shocking🤯 There are such beautiful villages in Fujian, like a paradise. The feeling of strolling in the village is like going back to the days of sketching in Wuyuan, but the difference is that there are not so many people here.
📍Ningde City, Fujian Province
1⃣️Siping Village
A village with a history of more than 600 years, it seems to be renovated now, and some new media workers and artists have moved in. There are not many people, so it feels like a paradise. It was a cloudy afternoon when I came, and there was a little drizzle, but the feeling of strolling in the village is still very comfortable.
2. The life atmosphere here is heavier, so there are more original villagers in the village. There are also many homestays here. It is also a very beautiful village that needs to be carefully experienced.
3⃣️Xiadi Village
After coming out of the Pioneer Bookstore, you can enter this small village. The village is not big, but the brick and tile buildings are still very characteristic. If you come out of the bookstore, you must go to this village for a walk.
▫️It takes about 🚗2 hours from Fuzhou to Ningde, and the distance between the villages is about 30 minutes.
▫️If you only have 1-2 days, I suggest the order is:
▫️Pioneer Bookstore-Xiadi Village-Siping Village-Jiexia Village

The autumn persimmons in Siping are uniquely red
Siping Village, a 700-year-old ancient village in Xiling Township, Pingnan County, Fujian Province. Because of its ancient charm and the persimmons in autumn, it has become a well-known photography and sketching spot near and far.
Siping is a lush and densely vegetated mountain village. The 800-meter altitude, mild climate, and year-round sunshine make the seedless persimmons here famous far and wide. Every autumn, the tall persimmon trees gradually shed their green leaves, and the originally green persimmons, under the influence of carotene, gradually turn from green to yellow to orange-red. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of red lanterns hanging on the branches, gorgeous and festive. Originally, it was just a natural phenomenon of the changing seasons, but who knew that after being captured by a photographer, it became a grand autumn festival, attracting countless photographers and art masters, and spreading this touching scene in the mountain village to thousands of miles away. Village head Yang Lin said that since the persimmons turned red, Siping Village has become an internet sensation overnight, just like these persimmons. Every weekend, the village and town officials join forces to clear traffic and maintain order, and even on weekdays, there are two to three thousand people coming to watch the persimmons every day.
In Siping, choose any angle, hold the camera and take a casual shot, and you can leave a frame of elegant and simple pictures in the lens. Its beauty is not ostentatious, not pretentious, without too many deliberate traces, without too much human intervention. The reason why the persimmon trees in Siping are on camera is that the blue sky is the canvas and the green mountains are the inkstone. Yellow walls and black tiles, dead branches and red persimmons, high walls and long narrow alleys, winding paths paved with bluestone, a bougainvillea protruding from the door lintel, a camellia blooming in the courtyard, all constitute a series of beautiful rural scenes. These scenes belong only to the mountainous areas of Eastern Fujian, and the pictures are filled with strong Eastern Fujian imprints. When the tall persimmon tree stands proudly against the backdrop of yellow walls and black tiles, when the bright autumn sun shines on the orange-red persimmons, anyone will sincerely praise this composition that does not need to be deliberate.
As the saying goes: There are persimmon trees in every mountain and village, but the autumn persimmons in Siping are uniquely red. The joy of persimmons attracts guests from all directions, and the autumn colors of Siping are captivating.

Persimmon season in the south, let's go to Pingnan to enjoy the autumn
🚗Route: Longtan Village in Pingnan-Siping Village-Qiantou Village
⭕️Longtan Village
The three villages in Pingnan, the degree of commercialization is introduced from high to low
Longtan Village was developed early, with relatively complete infrastructure. The cultural creativity has always been very famous, and even the public security has exclusive IP cartoon images
There are characteristic homestays, restaurants, coffee shops and tea houses, and it is comfortable to choose to eat and live here
The main scenery is a few persimmon trees along the creek, and the small bridge and flowing water are particularly beautiful together, suitable for quietly enjoying the scenery here
⭕️Siping Village
The scale of the persimmon forest is the largest, the mountains are layered, and there are more levels, like a landscape painting, most favored by photographers
Some shops make people feel that this is not a village, such as craft beer and French bakery
There is no need to check in specifically, but if you are thirsty and hungry, you can go to rest and fill your hunger (the smell of baked bread is too tempting)
Transportation: 10min from Longtan
⭕️Qiantou Village
The lowest degree of development, and the most natural scenery
It is under construction along the river bank, and it feels that the infrastructure will be more complete next year, and eating, drinking, leisure and entertainment will be more convenient
Of course, the feeling of natural decoration will also be greatly weakened
Transportation: 5min from Longtan
⭕️Luoshayang
This point is recommended by the homestay owner, but because it is too far from Longtan Village (about 1h drive), we did not go on this trip
This place is probably the most pure natural scenery, if interested, you can go for a run
