Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province

 

Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, lies in the center of the "golden travel triangle".

Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, lies in the center of the "golden travel triangle," formed by Huangshan Mountain (Anhui Province), Lushan Mountain and Jingdezhen (Jiangxi Province). During the spring, the county resembles a typical Chinese countryside scene with its blue sky, flower-covered hills, luxuriant farmland and small creeks. But the main attraction in Wuyuan is the sea of rapeseed flowers, which extends as far as the eye can see. Besides natural beauty, the county is also known for its glorious history. It has at least 50 old villages that have remained almost unchanged over the last century, including many former residences of some of China's top scholars, such as Zhu Xi, a Confucian master in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) and Zhan Tianyou, China's first railway engineer.
