[2025 Dayi Attraction] Travel Guide for Xieyuan Town (Updated Jul)

Summer in Xieyuan is softened by the streams. The Xie River flows through the town, its three-tiered waterfalls shattering the summer heat into droplets. The bluestone paths are always damp, as if stepping on moonbeams freshly scooped from the creek. The plum grove has shed its blossoms, and the cicadas' songs dangling between branches are gently crushed by the flowing water, drifting past the covered bridge of Herbal Lane. Someone sits on the railing, swinging their feet, water droplets from sandal tips falling into the stream, startling a few silver-scaled fish that dart past the willow tendrils dipping into the water. Occasional mountain rains in the afternoon weave curtains of droplets from the rooftops' green tiles, washing the distant Xiling Snow Mountain into an even deeper shade of blue. When the rain stops, moss emerges between the stone steps, moist and cool, mingling with unnamed wildflowers at the corners to create a refreshing oasis. As dusk settles, the streams gradually light up, with lantern glow rippling gently on the water's surface. The evening wind slips through the mountain pass, carrying the scent of grass and trees as it brushes past, making one suddenly understand why air conditioning is rarely needed here—nature provides its own fan with the streams and a green mountain screen, turning each day into a perfectly tempered emerald spring.

Plan a spring trip to the ancient mountain villages! Here's a super beautiful light hiking route, 7.36 km in total, shuttling between ancient villages and mountain forests, with intersecting stone slab roads and wild paths. You can also encounter old trees with虯 branches and feel the tranquility and vitality of spring! 📍Navigation: Drive directly to "Yane Village Committee", and step into a sea of flowers. Route: Yane Village Committee → Yaneping (about 30 minutes walk) → Huanshan Plum Grove → Mountain Path, the whole journey is 7.36 km. The misty mountains on cloudy days add a touch of fairy-tale charm! 👟Equipment suggestions: Non-slip hiking shoes, lightweight backpack, camera (cloudy days with low saturation are super suitable for taking cool and elegant photos). 📸Photo Tips: • Wear light or bright colored clothes to create a contrasting effect with the white plum blossoms and rapeseed flowers! • Overlook the entire plum grove from the top of the mountain and use a telephoto lens to compress the sense of space for magazine cover-worthy shots. • Shoot the branches and the gray sky from a low angle looking up, for a full atmospheric effect! 🍲Nearby restaurants: For lunch, we recommend "Xiangshi Restaurant" in Yuelai Ancient Town. Their 20-year-old signature braised pork is fragrant but not greasy, and even locals queue up for it.
