After finishing "Deep in Wumeng," head straight to Dongjiang Lake for the same obsession-worthy riverside villa

Who understands! After finishing "Deep in Wumeng," I stayed at the same riverside villa, and went crazy playing around Dongjiang Lake for 3 days✨ While watching "Deep in Wumeng," I was deeply struck by the riverside villa in the drama and kept thinking about it for a long time. My boyfriend took me straight to Wuxiang Dongjiang Villa Inn at Dongjiang Lake. We visited 6 hidden gem spots in a row, each frame felt like stepping into a healing documentary. The itinerary is all organized—just copy it! 🌿【Wuxiang Dongjiang Villa Inn at Dongjiang Lake: Live in the healing riverside aesthetic from the drama】 An excellent location, known as Wang Dong’s [100] must-stay wabi-sabi Song-style aesthetic villa—whoever stays here falls in love. The cave secret realm design is full of style. Open the window to the breathtaking view of Dongjiang Lake shrouded in morning mist. Wake up to birdsong, watch the sunset dye the lake red in the evening, enjoy romantic night tours of the icy Dongjiang Bay, gather around the courtyard stove to brew tea, barbecue, and fish—the relaxed vibe is deeply ingrained in the bones~ The room’s soft furnishings are superb, with comfortable and soft bedding. The double-sided high-end fabric in khaki and white is my favorite [HeartBeat], not the usual pure white bedding that feels cold and unwelcoming! This fully shows how carefully and thoughtfully the owner manages this guesthouse. Natural wood furniture + minimalist lines make for amazing photos. My bestie took 100 photos and still wasn’t satisfied. At night, cozying up on the terrace drinking tea and watching the stars is so romantic you don’t want to leave! 🗺️【3-day essential scenic spot guide: no misses, all treasures】 ▪️Dongjiang Lake: Must rush to the misty morning at Xiao Dongjiang, a fairyland atmosphere maxed out. The moment fishermen cast their nets is breathtakingly beautiful, every snap looks like an ancient-style masterpiece. In the afternoon, visit Doushuai Lingyan, the karst cave wonder is super impressive. ▪️Bailang Little Erhai Lake: The lakeside road is perfect for photos! Rent a small electric scooter and leisurely explore. The blue lake with distant mountains instantly transports you to Dali. The lakeside boardwalk and the popular lighthouse are photo hotspots. Sunset here is absolutely stunning. ▪️Gaoyiling: Nature’s masterpiece! Red rocks, green water + Danxia landforms. Walking the cliffside plank road is thrilling. The panoramic view is so magnificent it leaves you speechless. Wear light-colored clothes for better photos and avoid the harsh midday sun. ▪️Feitian Mountain: A lesser-known healing spot with clear mountains, beautiful water, and super fresh air. Easy hiking, suitable for families and friends. Danxia red cliffs + emerald lake, every snap is a fresh masterpiece. ▪️Huilong Mountain: The perfect place to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds! Climb to the top at dawn to wait for the sunrise. The rolling sea of clouds is very healing. The windmill group at the summit makes for atmospheric photos. If lucky, you might see Buddha’s light. ▪️Mahuangqiu Grand Canyon: A popular check-in spot and a must-drive canyon road in your life. Cliff faces + deep blue water, glass plank roads, and cliff-hanging roads are super photogenic, with a built-in movie filter. It’s less crowded and you won’t fight for photo spots. 💡【Practical tips: Pitfall avoidance guide】 1. The best season for Dongjiang Lake morning mist is April to October. Wear a light jacket + comfortable shoes; temperature varies greatly between morning and evening. 2. The scenic spots are a bit far apart; renting a car or hiring a driver is recommended for convenience and time-saving. 3. The inn’s location is excellent, not far from all scenic spots, so no need to rush back and forth. 4. Local food must-tries: Dongjiang fish and pig-killing rice noodles, so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows drop—don’t miss out! After finishing the drama, rush to the same romantic spot and heal all your fatigue among the mountains and waters of Dongjiang Lake. This treasure inn + divine scenic spots are really worth multiple visits. Perfect for couples, besties, and family trips. Quickly grab your people and go~
