| I have always loved ancient villages. Explore the secluded ancient-style paradise in Hubei｜Photography and summer retreat📸✨ In the embrace of Hubei, there lies an ancient village untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world—Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley. It is like a gentle hermit, quietly waiting for every traveler's visit. Turning leisurely from the vastness of Baili Wild, just a short distance away, you step into this dreamy place for summer photography. 🌿【Ancient Charm of Green Mountains, Peaceful Time】 Surrounded by verdant mountains, this simple and tranquil village is gently embraced. The ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties still flow slowly, the bell of Yangdong Xianyuan Temple seems to echo in the ears, the ancient military fortress of Yindong tells the stories of past wars, the Longfeng Temple on Longfeng Mountain watches the clouds roll by, and the 'Tongyi Gongjin' stele silently witnesses the vicissitudes of history. All of this is so well preserved, as if time has slowed down here. 🏡【Descendants of the Pang Clan, Primitive Charm】 In the village, the descendants of the Pang family have lived for generations. The smiles of the elderly are full of the gentleness of years. There is no city noise here, only the most simple rural life and authentic farmhouse dishes. If you want to stay overnight, the homestay, though not cheap (500+), offers a view outside the window that will make you feel it's worth every penny. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, every moment is a cleansing of the soul. 🍽️【Accompanied by Food, Feast for the Taste Buds】 The farmhouse dishes in the bamboo forest are fresh and delicious; the delicacies in the Pang Mansion are even more memorable. And those cute children who accidentally enter the camera lens add a touch of fun and warmth to the journey. 🐾【Simple Folk Customs, Dogs Seeing Off】 The villagers here are simple and kind, even the dogs in the village are particularly hospitable. They wag their tails and welcome every visitor from afar in their unique way. When parting, their reluctant eyes seem to say, 'Welcome to come again.' 🍂【Scenery in All Seasons, Summer Retreat】 In summer, this is a cool place to escape the heat, with fresh peaches to pick; in spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, in autumn, the forest is dyed in layers, and in winter, it is an elegant ink painting. No matter when you visit, you can harvest a different beauty. 📍【Travel Guide】 Navigate directly to Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley, it takes only one hour by car from Yichang city, with picturesque scenery along the way. If departing from Wuhan, it takes three hours by car, or you can choose a two-hour high-speed train to Yichang, then transfer to a taxi for one hour to reach. Come, let's step into this secluded paradise gently treated by time, capture those heartwarming moments with the camera, and let the soul truly rest and release in this pure land.

Cloud Sanctuary · Yuan'an Taipingding Forest Park Perched atop the mountains of Yuan'an, Hubei, lies the 1,325.1-meter-high "Hundred-Well Fairy Mountain" – Taipingding Forest Park. Over 90% of the land here is blanketed by forests, with 4,487 cubic meters of timber reserves forming a green treasure trove. Eleven registered ancient trees, along with rare species like ginkgo and Cyclocarya paliurus, weave together a vibrant natural tapestry. 🌿 Nature's Bounty: A Feast of Wonders in the Forest Sea Poetic Growth of Unique Pines and Trees - The white-barked pine clinging to the cliffside stone pillar gleams like silver armor, shimmering with golden light under the morning sun. Locals call it the "Shining Pine," as if it were fragments of stars left behind by mountain spirits. - The 120-year-old Bashan pine stands straight as a sword, its rugged branches casting deep shade, quietly recounting tales of time. - The round-winged nuts of Cyclocarya paliurus dangle in clusters, swaying like copper coins in the breeze, adding a lively charm to the mountain forest. Ever-Changing Cloud Theater The mountaintop is perpetually shrouded in mist, sometimes dancing like sheer silk, other times surging like angry waves. At dawn, when the red sun breaks through the sea of clouds, a cascade of golden light bathes the peaks, creating a visual spectacle. In winter, snow settles on branches, forming frost flowers that adorn the forest, transforming the entire mountain into a crystal-clear fairy tale world. 📜 Cultural Imprints: Millennia-Old Legends in the Fairy Mountain's Depths This was once a sacred land where Buddhism and Taoism coexisted, with the incense of "Nine Nunneries and Eighteen Temples" wafting through the mountains. Though ancient sites like the Old Temple and Taiping Temple have mostly faded into history, strolling along the stone steps of "First Heavenly Gate," "Second Heavenly Gate," and "Third Heavenly Gate," one can still touch the religious imprints of the past. The legends of Ziyang Cave linger in the mountains, casting a mysterious veil over every rock and breeze. 🏡 Poetic Dwelling: A Holiday Hidden in the Forest Accommodation: Sleeping with Nature Taipingding Forest Resort Hotel blends luxury into the forest sea – chic villas nestle among the trees, offering views of rolling green peaks through every window. Cliffside wooden cabins perch on the mountain's edge, where nights are filled with the whispers of wind and pines, and mornings greet you with clouds cradled in your arms. Palate: The Freshness of Mountain Flavors The hotel's restaurant follows seasonal ingredients, turning forest-raised free-range chicken and high-mountain vegetables into authentic local delicacies under the chef's skilled hands. Every bite is a gift from nature. Leisure: Wild Adventures in the Forest - In the forest craft workshop, find a piece of wood or a leaf to create your own natural keepsake; - Sit awhile at the cloud-top bar, sipping a drink infused with mountain breeze, watching the sunset kiss the peaks; - The oxygen-rich trails wind through the forest, each step filled with negative ions; - Camping barbecues, team-building activities, outdoor weddings... Here, time slows down, allowing you to truly connect with the forest. The beauty of Taipingding is the first ray of sunlight piercing the sea of clouds at dawn, a gentle breeze under ancient pines, an echo of legends. Come here, let your body and soul return to nature, and find a long-lost peace in this cloud-capped sanctuary. 🌄

Just 3 hours away from Wuhan, there lies a secluded ancient village with no inhabitants. | I never expected that during the crowded May Day holiday I would find a deserted ancient village just 3.5 hours' drive from Wuhan and only 1 hour from Yichang city center The ancient village is backed by mountains, surrounded by greenery, and inhabited by the descendants of the Pang family. Most of those who remain in the village are grandparents, and the village still retains ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are farm dishes in the village, as well as homestays. If you have time, you can stay for a night. It doesn't take long to walk through the whole village, but it's worth savoring carefully. The hot summer is coming soon, and it's also nice to come here to escape the heat. There are also opportunities to pick fruit nearby.

Hubei actually hides such a secluded ancient town, which completely surprised me!🏞 It's very close from Bailihuang, so we decided to visit the long-desired summer retreat town—Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley Town. Surrounded by green mountains, the town is quaint and tranquil, as if time has stood still here. Ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangdong Xianyuan Temple, Yindong Ancient Soldiers' Fortress, Longfeng Mountain Longfeng Temple, and the 'Tongyi Gongjin' stele site are all well-preserved to this day, making one marvel at the profoundness of history. 🚗 Just navigate directly to Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley. It's about an hour's drive from Yichang city center, with good road conditions and beautiful scenery along the way. The village is not very big, but every corner is filled with stories and charm. It takes just over an hour to stroll around, but if you like taking photos like me, staying overnight is definitely a good choice. The price of homestays, although over 500, is not cheap, but the view is really good and worth staying for a night. At sunset, the entire ancient town is bathed in a golden hue, stunningly beautiful. Waking up in the morning and walking around the village, the fresh air and the scent of birds and flowers are refreshing. 🍑 This place is not only great for summer retreats, but in summer there are peaches to pick, peach blossoms in spring, and the forest is dyed with layers of colors in autumn, offering different beautiful sceneries in each season. There are also many dining options, with bamboo forest farmhouse dishes and Pangfu being good choices, offering fresh and delicious food, and the adorable children make for a pleasant mood. The villagers are simple and even the dogs are hospitable, following us around and even seeing us off to our car. This kind of simple folk custom warms the heart.
