PROGRAM
Get ready for a weekend full of nature and outdoor activities! With its fertile soil, its proximity to major trading routes and home to some of China’s most entrepreneurial merchants, Wuyuan county was one of the nation’s wealthiest. Explore villages with narrow alleys hemmed in by Qing and Ming mansions by bicycle and take a refreshing dip in natural pools fed by rushing waterfalls, or simply enjoy the outdoors from your hotel rooftop. Browse a factory of traditional umbrellas before you set out on a centuries' old limestone path across the lush hills to a secluded village, where lunch is served in a private Qing dynasty residence followed by a visit to the local rice wine distillery. All overnight stays in a renovated Qing dynasty mansion, originally the family home of a wealthy tea trader.
