Nanjing Tulou, especially Yunshuiyao, is quite famous, and there are many tourists who come from all over to visit~~ Quaint villages, bridges over flowing water, homes amidst the scenery, and sipping tea under the big banyan tree, it's truly pleasant! 🛤️ Travel: If you're from a nearby city, it's recommended to drive 🚗 there. Compared to the previous mountain roads with eighteen bends, the traffic is now much more convenient, with highways leading all the way there smoothly. If you're arriving by high-speed train 🚅, there are also quite a few direct buses available now~~ 🥙 Eat: There are now quite a few local farmhouse restaurants inside and outside the scenic area. We randomly chose a restaurant called Abao near a big rock, which seemed overall better. The dining experience was good, with fresh ingredients and tasty food, and the prices were reasonable for the scenic area, making it quite a good value~~ 💁🏻‍♀️Tips: 1. Tickets can be purchased directly at the tourist service center or on various platforms. Yunshuiyao and 'Four Dishes and One Soup' are priced at 90r each and are separate. Personally, I think Yunshuiyao is more worth it, with mountains, water, and Tulou to experience the harmony between humans and nature, and it's great for taking photos~~ 2. Mosquito repellent is a must! Especially in this weather! However, if you're a tourist from out of town and need accommodation, the scenic area is now quite mature, and you can buy everything you need there...

When the trailer of the big fish sea otter ~ movie was just broadcast, we were attracted by the earth building with red lanterns! This time, I finally had the privilege of coming to this fantastic ancient town Yunshuiyu scenic spot. It is a very long history. Huaiyuanlou and Heguilou are the most representative buildings in the Nanjing Tulou. History, Huaiyuan Building is the most complete double-circle round earth building, and the building is the representative of the inner corridor-style square building. It embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation. They are especially quiet and calm in this ancient town, and because the big fish sea otter looks even more Mysterious, fascinating...

❤The guide to relaxation in Yun Shui Yao is hidden in the folds of the tulou. ❤In the early morning, the tulou cluster appears gray-blue, with six-hundred-year-old round buildings layered with roof tiles. By the time I count to the third circle, bamboo shadows have already spread across the courtyard. By the stream, old banyan trees dangle their aerial roots, filtering visitors' exclamations into gentle rustling sounds. ❤Dusk is the magical hour. Wandering along the cobblestone path, you suddenly see glowing lights floating above the rice fields, as if someone has spilled a bottle of star-brewed wine. Following the green lights into an alley, you bump into the inn owner fanning himself on the porch: "What's the rush? The fireflies aren't catching a high-speed train." ❤Spending the night within rammed earth walls, you hear raindrops falling from the eaves, as if time itself is counting the moments.

[Rose] In the southwestern corner of Fujian, there is an ancient village hidden like a paradise - Yunshuiyao. Its original name was Changjiao, but it became famous because of the filming location of a movie. Since then, it was renamed Yunshui Yao, as if it had its own poetic filter, attracting countless travelers who yearn for tranquility and beauty. [Rose] Tracing the origin of Yunshuiyao: the fusion of nature and humanity [Rose] Yunshui Yao is embedded in the embrace of Nanping County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. The long years have woven layer after layer of mysterious and charming veils for it. Here, natural scenery and earthen building culture are intertwined, outlining a beautiful painting of southern Fujian. Walking through it, every inch of land is filled with the fragrance of history, and every scene tells a story of the past. [Rose] Multiple paths to a poetic realm [Rose] Airline travel, quick departure [Rose]If you choose to travel by plane, Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport is the first stop to arrive in this fairyland. Walk out of the airport and take a bus or taxi. In just about two hours, you can travel between the hustle and bustle of the city and the tranquility of the countryside and step into the dreamlike world of Yunshui Yao. Outside the car window, the scenery gradually transitioned from a bustling city to pastoral scenery, and my mood became more expectant and comfortable. [Rose] Railway trip, safe arrival [Rose] Taking the train to Nanjing Station is also a good choice. Starting from Nanjing Station, take a bus or taxi. The short one-hour ride is like opening a time tunnel leading to a poetic world. Along the way, fields, mountains, and villages flashed before one's eyes like slides, making people eager to uncover the mystery of Yunshui Yao. [Rose] Driving freely [Rose] For those who love the freedom of driving, self-driving is undoubtedly the most comfortable way. Starting from Xiamen, driving along the Shenhai Expressway and Zhangwu Expressway, after about two hours, Yunshui Yao will appear before your eyes like a shining pearl. During the self-driving trip, you can not only enjoy the fun of freely controlling the rhythm, but also stop at any time to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way, making the process of going to Yunshui Yao a wonderful journey. [Rose] Check in at scenic spots and experience the ancient charm and modern style [Rose] Stepping into Yunshuiyao is like stepping into a museum of earthen buildings. Hegui Tower, a square earthen building built in the Qing Dynasty, has stood for hundreds of years with its steady posture and is one of the iconic buildings of Yunshui Yao. As you step into the building and look up at the layers of wooden structures, you seem to be able to hear the echoes of history. The Huaiyuan Tower, a circular earthen building, is like a round pearl, quietly exuding an ancient charm. It is well preserved, and every carved beam and painted building shows the exquisite architectural craftsmanship of our ancestors, which makes people admire the wisdom of the ancients. [Rose]Walking along the Yunshuiyao Ancient Trail, the pebbles under my feet seem to be telling ancient stories. The scenery along the ancient road is picturesque, and you can encounter different beauty at every step. The thousand-year-old banyan tree, with its weathered and luxuriant appearance, supports a cool world. The thick branches stretch out in all directions, like huge green umbrellas, protecting people from wind and rain. The Lover's Bridge, which is loved by couples, spans the gurgling stream, and the wooden bridge exudes a natural atmosphere. Walking on the bridge, with your lover by your side and the picturesque scenery in front of you, a romantic atmosphere arises spontaneously. [Rose] Characteristic residence, immersed in poetic atmosphere [Rose] In Yunshuiyao, staying in a hotel is also a unique experience. By choosing a homestay in an ancient town, you can integrate into local life and experience the authentic southern Fujian style. In the early morning, wake up to the sound of birds singing, open the window, and the fresh air hits your face, making you feel as if you are one with nature. If you want to experience the Tulou culture in depth, you might as well stay in a Tulou-themed hotel. Standing inside the earth building, you can feel the unique spatial layout and cultural atmosphere, as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to that ancient era. For tourists who pursue comfort and quality, high-end resorts are the best choice. Here, they can enjoy high-quality services and relax in a quiet environment. [Rose] Taste the Yunshuiyao, a feast for your tongue [Rose] In the world of gourmet food, Yunshuiyao is also unforgettable. The rich flavor of Hakka cuisine, such as the smooth skin and tender meat of salt-baked chicken, the fresh and fragrant stuffed tofu, and the fat but not greasy braised pork with preserved vegetables, will make you intoxicated with every bite. Southern Fujian snacks are even more unique. The chewy and smooth sea cucumber jelly, the crispy and delicious fried oysters, and the rich and fragrant shacha noodles all challenge the limits of your taste buds. In addition, local specialties such as the soft, sweet persimmon cakes, the chewy dried sweet potatoes, and the refreshing and sweet tea are also great gifts for friends and family or to satisfy your cravings while traveling. [Rose] Intimate guide, worry-free travel [Rose] If you want to appreciate the beauty of Yunshuiyao in the best condition, spring and autumn are undoubtedly the best time to travel. The climate is pleasant, neither too cold nor too hot, which is a good time to stroll around the ancient town and enjoy the beautiful scenery. To enter the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area, you need to purchase a ticket of about 90 yuan per person. During your visit, please be sure to respect local customs and habits, cherish this beautiful land, and do not litter at will, so that the poetry and beauty of Yunshui Yao can continue for a long time. [Rose] In Yunshuiyao, time seems to slow down, and every moment makes people feel the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. Come here, live in the scenery, look up and see the mountains, and start an unforgettable poetic journey.

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Nanjing in the afternoon and go to Yunshuiyao. The night is also quite different. Day 2: Go to Yunshuimen again in the morning, sit in a coffee shop and take a leisurely time In the afternoon, you can go to Tianluokeng to enjoy the "four dishes and one soup". It is recommended to drive or charter a car. Day 3: Depart for Zhangzhou Ancient City and Qingnian Road at noon to eat and shop 🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Dulu Yunshuiyao Hedelou Tulou Cultural Homestay 🍴 Food recommendations Traditional food, glutinous rice cakes, taro crisps/cakes are all local specialties with fresh ingredients 📌 Practical Tips - It is recommended to charter a car for a day to see the earth buildings: Tianluokeng and Yunshuiyao (if you live in Yunshuiyao, just charter a car to Tianluokeng) - You can walk around Yunshuiyao, but you have to pay extra for many places besides individual tickets, which doesn't seem good. However, they have opened their home to tourists... You can judge for yourself - The B&B environment has local cultural characteristics and can be stayed for one or two nights. The breakfast is natural and diverse, the ingredients are fresh, and the service staff are very friendly and helpful.

On April 22, I set off from Quanzhou to my long-awaited destination, Yun Shui Yao, embarking on a two-day journey filled with poetry and warmth. Staying at the Tianxiadi themed guesthouse was an unexpected delight, especially when the owner personally explained the history of Huaiyuan Building, giving me a deeper understanding of this land. 🚗 Day 1: Departing from Quanzhou, Heading to the Romance of Yun Shui Yao • Morning: Under the warm spring sun, I drove from Quanzhou. Along the way, lush mountains and picturesque villages flashed past my window, with April's greenery rushing toward me, making me feel particularly refreshed. After about a 3-hour drive, I finally arrived at Yun Shui Yao Ancient Town. Stepping into the town, I walked on winding cobblestone paths, with flowing streams beside me and century-old banyan trees swaying in the breeze in the distance, as if telling the long history of this place. • Noon: I arrived at the Tianxiadi themed guesthouse to check in. The guesthouse was rustic and elegant, filled with Chinese-style elements that made me feel at home. After a short rest, I enjoyed lunch at the restaurant behind the guesthouse. The must-try stream fish was tender and fresh, prepared with a unique cooking method that made it incredibly flavorful. The local vegetables were sweet and refreshing, full of spring flavors. (PS: Money-saving tip: Mention Tianxiadi for a discount!) • Afternoon: I eagerly began my exploration of Yun Shui Yao. Walking along the stream, the cobblestone path beneath my feet has hundreds of years of history, and each step felt like treading on the marks of time. The large banyan tree by the stream was truly spectacular, with lush branches providing ample shade. When I reached Hegui Building, I was amazed by this "Noah's Ark" built on swampland. With the owner's prior "spoiler," I curiously tapped the stone slabs inside with my feet, feeling the magical swaying motion, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients. In the evening, the sunset cast a golden glow on Huaiyuan Building, the stream sparkled, and walking on the corridor bridge, watching birds return to their nests, I felt the unique tranquility and beauty of Yun Shui Yao. • Evening: Back at the guesthouse, the enthusiastic owner started talking about the nearby Huaiyuan Building. He eagerly offered to explain it to me. I initially thought it would be a simple introduction, but to my surprise, the owner knew everything about Huaiyuan Building's historical origins, architectural details, and family stories. From the hardships during construction to the cultural meanings behind each carving and couplet, he described everything vividly, even more impressively than a professional guide! Through his narration, Huaiyuan Building was no longer just an ancient building but "living history" carrying a century of memories. 🌿 Day 2: In-depth Experience, Unlocking More Charm of the Ancient Town • Early Morning: Awakened by birdsong, fresh air filled with the fragrance of soil and plants greeted me. Yun Shui Yao was shrouded in a light mist, like a delicate ink painting. I jogged along the stream, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. • Morning: I entered the ancient town again, this time slowing down to savor every corner. I visited specialty shops in the town, where exquisite handicrafts and charming cultural creative products were hard to put down. I also visited local residents' homes, listening to their stories about the town's changes and feeling the atmosphere of daily life here. • Noon: I continued to enjoy delicious food at the restaurant behind the guesthouse. Hakka stuffed tofu and preserved vegetable braised pork were must-try dishes. The meat filling in the stuffed tofu was juicy, and the tofu was soft and flavorful; the preserved vegetable braised pork was rich but not greasy, salty and aromatic, perfect with rice. I was completely satisfied. • Afternoon: With some reluctance, I packed my luggage to prepare for the return journey. Before leaving, the owner warmly gave me directions and reminded me of things to note on the way back. This trip to Yun Shui Yao not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery and ancient architecture but also, thanks to the owner's explanations, I gained rich cultural knowledge. If you're also looking for a quiet place in April, come to Yun Shui Yao! Here, time seems to slow down, and you can fully experience the poetic charm and gentleness of the ancient town while listening to stories of the past. I believe you will fall in love with everything here, just as I did!
