Wuyuan, nestled on the border of three provinces in Jiangxi's northeastern region, boasts a landscape rich with intriguing caves, secluded rocks, and numerous historical sites. Wuyuan County proudly showcases some of China's best-preserved ancient architecture, structures dating back to 740 during the Tang Dynasty.

Known as the "most beautiful countryside in China," Wuyuan, with its at least 50 ancient villages, lies northeast of Jiangxi Province, near Mt. Huangshan and Jingdezhen. Locals enjoy the pristine brooks, delicate wooden buildings, distinctive bridges, and a serene way of life.
Famous for its traditional practice of sun-drying crops (晒秋), featuring colorful peppers, corn, and other produce arranged on bamboo trays. The village's hillside location provides breathtaking views of terraced fields and surrounding mountains. A cable car offers a stunning aerial perspective.
