The rapeseed season (late March–early April) transforms the entire Wuyuan valley into a sea of yellow — but it lasts only 2–3 weeks and draws enormous crowds. Come early morning or use the lesser-known Jiangwan and Likeng villages instead of the photographic hotspot Shicheng. Huangling Village (篁岭) is built on a cliff face and accessed by cable car — the drying racks of sunflower, chilli, and corn outside each house glow in afternoon light.
Tip 18–20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks — stay right, pass left.
