World-Class Hundred-Year-Old Ancient Village Admiring Ten Thousand Acres of Rapeseed Flower Sea, Growing on Cliffside, Missed It, Wait Another Year
As the end of March approaches, April also arrives in abundance, and many people will usher in another Qingming Festival holiday. I wonder if you've already made plans for these three days? Are you going to go out to enjoy the spring scenery and admire the flowers, or are you going to pay respects to your ancestors, or do you just want to rest at home? Spring, of course, cannot be without admiring the flowers. If you haven't made up your mind yet, let me take you to Wuyuan to see the ten thousand acres of rapeseed flower sea, and we'll have a cloud-watching flower experience!
Speaking of rapeseed flowers, we must mention Wuyuan, a place renowned throughout the country as the 'most beautiful rapeseed flower'. Every spring, a large number of tourists come to admire the flowers. This year, due to special reasons, many tourists can only stay at home and cannot go out to admire flowers and travel. They missed the best rapeseed flower period in Wuyuan. However, there is a place in Wuyuan called 'Erdi's' rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, waiting for tourists who like them. Take advantage of the arrival of the Qingming Festival holiday, come and have a look. If you miss this wave, you'll have to wait another year!
Today we are going to this village, Wuyuan's 'Hundred-Year Ancient Village' – 'Xiangling' . The whole Xiangling village is built on the mountain, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like it's growing on the cliffside. Xiangling has existed since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and has a history of five hundred years. In recent years, it has gained more and more attention due to 'drying autumn'.
Xiangling belongs to a typical mountain village. As the saying goes, water is the source of life, and it is well-illustrated in Xiangling. All the villagers live in a fan-shaped layout at the, and therefore, the civilization of Xiangling ancient town has been maintained until today. Xiangling's terraced fields are due to the changes of the seasons, and different crops are planted, and the terraces compete with each other to bloom, and the village gathers energy and clouds, so it is also known as 'Terraced Cloud People'.
Many tourists know Xiangling because of its famous 'drying autumn'. Farmers one by one take out the harvested crops and put them in their windows to dry. In order to better preserve them, they inadvertently become a beautiful landscape of China's rural areas. However, Xiangling's best tourist season is not only about 'drying autumn', but also about the spring Xiangling, where hundreds of acres of rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, which is also a symbol of spring.
When we first arrived in Xiangling, we saw such a scene: because of the recent continuous rain and cloudy weather, plus this year's spring is relatively warm, the rapeseed flowers' flowering period has been advanced, and the flowering period is about ten days. So when we arrived, the ten thousand acres of terraced fields were only green rapeseed flowers. At this time, all of us felt a little regret, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to come and admire this 'Ten Greatest Flower Seas' in China and the 'Ten Most Beautiful Terraced Fields' in the world. When we came here, we found that it was not as in the picture!
However, when we entered the village, the villagers told us that although the first batch of flowers has withered, the second batch of flowers is in full bloom now, which surprised us a little. This 'most beautiful flower sea' title is indeed well-deserved. In order to extend the flowering period of rapeseed flowers, Xiangling planted two batches of rapeseed flowers in two different places at different times. The first batch bloomed earlier, and the second batch due to the higher altitude and later planting time, so the flowering period was just right for us to catch it.
After walking across the 'Heart Bridge', you can see the rapeseed flower sea that stretches down from the mountain. The name 'Heart Bridge' may be unfamiliar to some people, but if you mention 'Joyful Harmony 2''s Dunlen and Qixian went on a tour here, many people will surely understand. Yes, it's at Heart Bridge to see the flower sea, 'earth heart' lock, wish tree and wish tree have become the must-visit landmarks for couples.
Take a cable car to the top of the mountain, and you can see a panoramic view of the layer upon layer of rapeseed flower sea. The viewing path is only one, you can walk down along the road. Because of special reasons, there aren't many tourists, only scattered tourists, you can fully enjoy the whole flower sea yourself.
Across the vast rapeseed flowers, compared with the colorful peach and pear flowers, there is no such romantic atmosphere, but it showcases the bustling and lively scenery of spring. You can see the diligent bees, the crowds of selfie-taking people, and those who linger and don't want to leave. That piece of yellow silk ribbon, like a young girl grooming her hair, makes you feel intoxicated by the beauty of the scenery. 'Lelouch, so deep in the quiet path, flower leaves fall silently. Children run to chase the yellow butterflies, flying into the peach blossoms without finding them. ' Suddenly, I remembered Yang Wanli's poem, which is perfectly suited here.
It is said that the second batch of rapeseed flowers will bloom until the early April, which is also the Qingming Festival holiday, and there will still be vast rapeseed flowers across the mountain. I also found that many flower buds are still in bud, maybe they are waiting for more tourists to come and appreciate their beauty!
