A
Wuyuan(婺源) is in the north-east of Jiangxi Province. People call it "the hometown of books", "the hometown of tea" and "the most beautiful village in China".
I went there with my friends in April this year and had a wonderful experience. At first, we saw many ancient buildings surrounded by green trees and clear brooks. It was said that they were built during the Tang Dynasty. Then we visited Changxi Village, a place famous for producing high mountain green tea. People live a quiet and simple life there. They shared the tea culture with us and told us how to enjoy the fresh tea. Next, we passed through the oldest lane to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built over 800 years ago, it stands as strong as ever. So it is still in use by the villagers now. I really like this bridge because it could protect people from getting wet on rainy days. After that, we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants. They are green all year round.
