Wuyuan
Rapeseed valleys, framed by 500-year villages.
Every March and April, six thousand hectares of gold unfurl beneath whitewashed Hui rooftops. The valley has not changed in five centuries.
Wuyuan is a county of villages, not a town. To arrive here is to leave the highway grid and enter a slower geometry — rivers cross paths, stone bridges arc, white walls reflect the colour of the season. In spring it is gold; in autumn, the rooftops turn red with drying chillies and corn. The Hui-style architecture, lifted from sixteenth-century Anhui merchant fortunes, has been preserved here more completely than anywhere else in China.
Best time
Late March to early April for rapeseed; October to November for autumn rooftop colour
