Located inside a historic ancestral hall originally built during the Ming Dynasty, the Wuyuan Folk Culture Exhibition Hall presents the traditional customs and daily life of Huizhou villages. Through authentic displays of wedding traditions, ancestor worship, folk rituals, and local practices, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage that has shaped Wuyuan for centuries.

Visit Zhushan Academy, a traditional learning space that reflects the importance of education and Confucian culture in ancient Huizhou society. With its simple architectural style, classic layout, and the famous “Loyalty, Filial Piety, Integrity, and Righteousness” inscription carved on the wall, the academy offers a glimpse into the values that shaped generations of scholars and local families.

Lunch is flexible and not included in the tour price, allowing you to choose the dining experience that best suits your tastes and budget. Based on your interests, dietary preferences, and travel style, your guide will be happy to recommend and assist with restaurant arrangements.

Located at one of Huangling’s highest points, Shai Qiufang is the best place to appreciate the village’s iconic rooftop drying landscape. Due to the steep mountain terrain, villagers traditionally used wooden racks and bamboo platforms on rooftops to dry crops such as peppers and grains. From this viewpoint, visitors can enjoy a sweeping view of Huangling’s layered houses, surrounding mountains, and colorful seasonal scenery.

Explore Wugui Hall, a historic Huizhou residence that once belonged to a prosperous local family. Covering more than 200 square meters, the residence features exquisite wooden carvings and traditional architectural details. The name “Wugui” represents the wish for descendants to achieve success and honor, reflecting the importance of family values and education in Huizhou culture.

Step into Huangling’s playful Strange House, an interactive attraction designed with unusual spaces that challenge your sense of balance and perspective. Featuring upside-down rooms, tilted interiors, and creative visual effects, this unique stop offers a fun break from traditional sightseeing and creates memorable photo opportunities for visitors of all ages.

Visit Yixin Building, a traditional residence historically used as a wedding house in Huangling. The red wedding curtains, carved wooden bed, and traditional decorations recreate the atmosphere of a Huizhou wedding setting. Visitors can learn about local marriage customs and experience the elegance of traditional Chinese wedding culture.

Located in the heart of Huangling Village, the Photography Bar is one of the most popular viewpoints for capturing the village’s iconic scenery. Looking through the viewing windows, visitors can frame the traditional Huizhou houses, mountain landscape, and rooftop drying scenes like a natural painting, making it an ideal stop for photography lovers.

Explore the peaceful Shuikou Forest, a traditional ecological landscape closely connected with Huizhou village culture. Ancient trees, streams, and rich vegetation create a refreshing natural environment often described as a “green wonderland.” The forest also preserves rare tree species, including ancient yew trees, reflecting the region’s strong connection between nature and traditional village planning.

End your Huangling visit with a relaxing walk along Huaxi Water Street, a scenic area featuring flowing streams, traditional-style buildings, and charming village pathways. The combination of water, architecture, and mountain scenery creates a peaceful atmosphere where visitors can slow down and enjoy the beauty of Huangling before taking the cable car back down.

After your tour, your private driver will take you back to your preferred drop-off location in central Hangzhou. If you plan to continue exploring afterward, your guide can provide personalized recommendations for local restaurants, evening activities, shopping areas, or other experiences to make the most of your time in Wuyuan.
