15-Minute Drive to Wuyuan Station, Exploring the Past and Present of Huguo County, Tourists: It's Wuyuan's New Frontier

Wuyuan, one of the six counties of the ancient Huguo, has a beautiful ecology and extremely deep cultural heritage. Because of its unique natural conditions and cultural heritage, it is praised as 'the most beautiful countryside in China'. Because of the vast expanse of rapeseed flower seas and the cultural history of ancient Huguo, it has become a signboard of tourism in Wuyuan. Wuyuan has many Ming and Qing ancient villages, and today we will recommend one new world in Wuyuan – Shumo Shanghe River.
Wuyuan New World, Shumo Shanghe River
Shumo Shanghe River is located in Shanghe Village, Xiuqu Town, Wuyuan County, 8 kilometers from the county seat and the high-speed rail station. Self-driving is very convenient, only 15 minutes. It is worth mentioning that Shanghe Village was built by the Zhu clan, who belonged to the same clan as the sage Zhu Xi. It has a history of 920 years. The village backs against the mountains, surrounds three sides with water, and is shaped like a big ingot. It flows with water, people are talented and the land is spiritual, and it is known as 'a treasure land'.

Entering the scenic area, you will see Shanghekou. Beside it, the water car and water created a nostalgic atmosphere of ancient Huguo. Passing through the water Bridge, the corridor and the bridge accompanied the flowing water, the small Nanjing pier, the returning heart pavilion, the ancient post road, all tell the stories of ancient Huguo. Walking along the stone steps, the ancient and antique world in front of you is this new world, Ming and Qing ancient street district.

The ancient Huguo people built villages according to feng shui. To make up for the lack of natural environment, they often planted maple trees and camphor trees when building villages, built water, repaired bridges, built pavilions, built temples, which played a role in dispelling emptiness and supplementing shortcomings. There are dozens of Ming and Qing ancient buildings in this new world, arranged in a picturesque way along the stream. The stream flowed towards Yanhua Lake, and the sound of flowing water carried the aroma of stone oil.



What attracts us when walking in the village are the two sides of the white wall and black tile Huguo buildings. These ancient and magnificent houses tell the stories of ancient Huguo's original life and the strength and glory of Huguo merchants.



Entering the academy, there are two large stones in front of you, and the exquisitely carved Ming and Qing ancient buildings represent the millennium flowing culture of the book town. On both sides of the wall, the pictures and texts displayed told us about the evolution of Confucianism and the essence of China. It was also in the academy that we watched a tea art performance passed down from ancient Huguo. It is said that this place will be used as a place for the study and exchange of calligraphy, seal carving, sculpture and antique works, and the performance of artistic research and inheritance display. In the future, there will be many cultural exchanges and artistic displays.



Walking along the stream to a wide water area, this is Yanhua Lake. The distant mountains are misty and elegant. Yanhua Lake is shimmering, with pavilions and bridges in the shade. An old man wears a raincoat, and a young girl playing a flute slowly floats in the air, echoing in the sky above Yanhua Lake, like a beautiful and unrestrained painting washed off with white lead.



Shumo Shanghe River carries the splendid past of Huguo ancient town, re-presented 'the before and after of Huguo', it is a composite scenic spot that integrates accommodation, shopping and entertainment. It is an important part of the Wuyuan National Rural Tourism Resort Experimental Zone and the National Huguo (Wuyuan) Cultural Ecological Protection Experimental Zone. It is also a condensed essence and epitome of Wuyuan's tourism and culture. Therefore, in addition to appreciating the beautiful natural scenery and ancient Huguo buildings here, cultural experience is also a very interesting thing. The Yantai Exhibition Hall, bamboo weaving display, master paintings display, and the most representative three-carved display are all on display and made, which is a great treat.
