Day 1

Arrival, Likeng & Moon Bay

HSR puts Wuyuan about 30 minutes from Huangshan North, 2 hours from Hangzhou, around 3 hours from Shanghai. Likeng, 12 km from the county town, is best before 10:00 ahead of tour groups; stop at Moon Bay on the way back — free, just the river bend and a bamboo raft.

Jiangling Terraces & Wangkou

Jiangling lies 55 km northeast, about 1.5 hours by car; the 210-yuan through ticket covers 12 county sites and stays valid 5 days. Rapeseed blooms mid-March to early April. On the way back, Wangkou's Yu Family Ancestral Hall, 25 km from town, shows Qing-era carved timber at its best.
