The beautiful scenery at Huangling Village, which has green terraces, was fantastic.

Some others had the same idea, and we were four families boon-docking at the parking area. The morning starts with the small shops opening early, and the buzz begins with all the tourist buses arriving. After some local breakfast and shopping for flower krans, we bought the tickets for the cabin ride and headed to the beautiful scenery at Huangling Village on top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, we arrived at an ancient Huangling Village. Of course, it is more or less populated with coffee and souvenir shops. But all the renovations have been made well, keeping the traditional look.

The old village felt amazingly alive even with the modernization. I wonder how they built it on such a top mountain before industrial machinery was available. The kids immediately saw the zip line, a 300m ride between 2 peaks, and were urged to take it.

The village has a 580-year history dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). However, by the end of 2008, it was dilapidated and falling into ruins. Some action was needed.

In 2009, the local government pooled private investments to develop rural tourism and transform the village into a resort. Locals swapped their shabby farmhouses for new buildings, offered by Wuyuan Folk Culture Development Company. These farmhouses, atop of the terraced mountains, were renovated into shops, restaurants, and hotels.

Villagers are employed to work on the resort and also to showcase a traditional folk custom, known as shaiqiu. This involves baking farm produce, such as corn and chili peppers, in the Autumn sunshine and is considered one of the most interesting Chinese folk practices.

With a record-high 30,000 tourists in a single day and a plethora of visitors, the village has become the place to go in Wuyuan County. From the grim days of 2008 to the present, the turnaround has been extraordinary.

There was no good campsite in proximity, so we did some boon-docking at the parking lot.

Evening came, and we were stopped by an over-welcoming lady at her local small family restaurant. The food was surprisingly tasty. I’ve never been picky about food, and my taste is almost anything goes down. With a satisfied stomach, we return to the RV to recharge our bodies for the next day’s travel.
