Have you ever been to Wuyuan? It is in the northeast 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 (溪流). 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 lead 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 (空中走廊) to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built 800 years ago, it stands as study(坚固的) as ever. So it is still in use by the villagers now. I really liked this bridge because it could protect people from getting wet on rainy days. After that, we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. It is in the west of Wuyuan and got the name of“Provincial Nature Reserve”in 1997. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants that are green all year round.
