| I have always loved ancient villages. Explore the secluded ancient-style paradise in Hubei｜Photography and summer retreat📸✨
In the embrace of Hubei, there lies an ancient village untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world—Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley. It is like a gentle hermit, quietly waiting for every traveler's visit. Turning leisurely from the vastness of Baili Wild, just a short distance away, you step into this dreamy place for summer photography.
🌿【Ancient Charm of Green Mountains, Peaceful Time】
Surrounded by verdant mountains, this simple and tranquil village is gently embraced. The ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties still flow slowly, the bell of Yangdong Xianyuan Temple seems to echo in the ears, the ancient military fortress of Yindong tells the stories of past wars, the Longfeng Temple on Longfeng Mountain watches the clouds roll by, and the 'Tongyi Gongjin' stele silently witnesses the vicissitudes of history. All of this is so well preserved, as if time has slowed down here.
🏡【Descendants of the Pang Clan, Primitive Charm】
In the village, the descendants of the Pang family have lived for generations. The smiles of the elderly are full of the gentleness of years. There is no city noise here, only the most simple rural life and authentic farmhouse dishes. If you want to stay overnight, the homestay, though not cheap (500+), offers a view outside the window that will make you feel it's worth every penny. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, every moment is a cleansing of the soul.
🍽️【Accompanied by Food, Feast for the Taste Buds】
The farmhouse dishes in the bamboo forest are fresh and delicious; the delicacies in the Pang Mansion are even more memorable. And those cute children who accidentally enter the camera lens add a touch of fun and warmth to the journey.
🐾【Simple Folk Customs, Dogs Seeing Off】
The villagers here are simple and kind, even the dogs in the village are particularly hospitable. They wag their tails and welcome every visitor from afar in their unique way. When parting, their reluctant eyes seem to say, 'Welcome to come again.'
🍂【Scenery in All Seasons, Summer Retreat】
In summer, this is a cool place to escape the heat, with fresh peaches to pick; in spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, in autumn, the forest is dyed in layers, and in winter, it is an elegant ink painting. No matter when you visit, you can harvest a different beauty.
📍【Travel Guide】
Navigate directly to Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley, it takes only one hour by car from Yichang city, with picturesque scenery along the way. If departing from Wuhan, it takes three hours by car, or you can choose a two-hour high-speed train to Yichang, then transfer to a taxi for one hour to reach.
Come, let's step into this secluded paradise gently treated by time, capture those heartwarming moments with the camera, and let the soul truly rest and release in this pure land.

Just 3 hours away from Wuhan, there lies a secluded ancient village with no inhabitants
Just 3 hours away from Wuhan, there lies a secluded ancient village with no inhabitants. | I never
expected that during the crowded May Day holiday
I would find a deserted ancient village just 3.5 hours' drive from Wuhan and only 1 hour from Yichang city center
The ancient village is backed by mountains, surrounded by greenery, and inhabited by the descendants of the Pang family.
Most of those who remain in the village are grandparents, and the village still retains ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are farm dishes in the village, as well as homestays. If you have time, you can stay for a night.
It doesn't take long to walk through the whole village, but it's worth savoring carefully.
The hot summer is coming soon, and it's also nice to come here to escape the heat. There are also opportunities to pick fruit nearby.
The ancient town in Hubei is so beautiful that it brought me to tears, such a pity I only found out about it now!
Hubei actually hides such a secluded ancient town, which completely surprised me!🏞 It's very close from Bailihuang, so we decided to visit the long-desired summer retreat town—Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley Town.
Surrounded by green mountains, the town is quaint and tranquil, as if time has stood still here. Ancient wells from the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangdong Xianyuan Temple, Yindong Ancient Soldiers' Fortress, Longfeng Mountain Longfeng Temple, and the 'Tongyi Gongjin' stele site are all well-preserved to this day, making one marvel at the profoundness of history.
🚗 Just navigate directly to Yuan'an Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley. It's about an hour's drive from Yichang city center, with good road conditions and beautiful scenery along the way. The village is not very big, but every corner is filled with stories and charm. It takes just over an hour to stroll around, but if you like taking photos like me, staying overnight is definitely a good choice.
The price of homestays, although over 500, is not cheap, but the view is really good and worth staying for a night. At sunset, the entire ancient town is bathed in a golden hue, stunningly beautiful. Waking up in the morning and walking around the village, the fresh air and the scent of birds and flowers are refreshing.
🍑 This place is not only great for summer retreats, but in summer there are peaches to pick, peach blossoms in spring, and the forest is dyed with layers of colors in autumn, offering different beautiful sceneries in each season. There are also many dining options, with bamboo forest farmhouse dishes and Pangfu being good choices, offering fresh and delicious food, and the adorable children make for a pleasant mood.
The villagers are simple and even the dogs are hospitable, following us around and even seeing us off to our car. This kind of simple folk custom warms the heart.

🌳 The Legend of the Centennial Nanmu Tree
Have you heard about the legend of the centennial nanmu tree in the village? It is said that in the early Ming Dynasty, a scholar who was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination took shelter under the tree during a storm. A lightning bolt split the nanmu tree, and the scholar took it as a divine sign, so he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times before continuing on his way. Eventually, he passed the examination with high honors, and when he returned to his hometown, he specially paid homage to this divine tree to thank the heavens for their guidance. This nanmu tree has since become the guardian spirit of the village, bringing peace and good fortune to the villagers.

It is said that in the early Ming Dynasty, a scholar on his way to the capital to take an exam took shelter under this tree during a rainstorm and was struck by lightning. The Nanmu tree was split instantly, but the scholar was unharmed. He believed it was a sign from heaven, so he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the tree before braving the rain to continue to the capital. As expected, he passed the examination with high honors, and when he returned to his hometown, he made a special trip to pay his respects to the divine tree in gratitude. Today, this Nanmu tree still stands in the village, witnessing the passage of time.
Nianhua Valley, an ancient village lost in the corner
Have you not had a date with nature for a long time? Follow the winding mountain road through the lingering clouds
The wind that flows past your ears is the farewell from the city. Standing by the Nianhua Valley is the longing of the heart. It's about the place we've been looking for, the mountains and the breeze, the years and the tranquility
The mottled walls covered with ivy record several natural cycles. To Nianhua Valley, the mountains are lush, the valley echoes with birdsong. In the morning, watch the mist tinted, and at night, sleep with the bright moon and gentle breeze. Pangjiawan Nianhua Valley

In the prime time for a spring outing, Peach Blossom Island is brimming with the essence of spring
Winter has passed and spring has arrived, and the banks of the Ju River are already filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers. 'At ease, one recognizes the face of the east wind, for a myriad of purples and thousands of reds are always spring.' The spring breeze once again graces the banks of the Ju River, and the annual flower viewing season has arrived. The peach blossoms in the wetland park on Peach Blossom Island have already bloomed in competition, exuding the breath of spring everywhere. The beauty of spring is not solely possessed by poetry and distant places. Against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, the peach and cherry blossoms, with their shades of pink and white, either bloom in the light or bud in anticipation, amidst which butterflies dance and bees busily buzz. Each peach blossom sways with grace and dazzles with beauty, a truly lovely sight. Many visitors who have come for a spring outing linger in front of the peach groves, taking photos to capture the memories.
