Jiangxi Journey - Wuyuan

The Wuyuan area is about two hours from the porcelain capital and has some of the most beautiful scenery and most well-preserved ancient architecture in China. Some of the home structures are over 600 years old.

We arrived in Wuyuan mid-afternoon and spent a couple of hours walking through fields of the flowers used for rapeseed oil. There are tiers of gardens going up steep hills.

A highlight was riding a long, narrow raft through the flower fields to the small, ancient village.

The village has water flowing through it and many old shops located on each side. We enjoyed food from several vendors in this area and are always amazed at the variety of delicious spicy food.

  2. Most beautiful field of flowers and most beautiful daughter! What an amazing trip. Love the picture of the Three Z's with Hong (I think!) on the raft.
    As much as we look forward to having you back home, I almost feel sad that it is coming to an end for the five of you.
