## About Shicheng Village

Shicheng Village is home to a remarkable collection of ancient trees, with groves of rare species. Its more than 100 maple trees are especially striking. From mid-to-late November, when the maple leaves begin to turn red, photography enthusiasts arrive at dawn and stay until dusk. The vivid colours set against black-and-white ancient houses form a natural giant palette. In autumn in Wuyuan, Shicheng and Changxi are two villages not to be missed.

## Tips from the guidebook

- Best season: November is the best time to visit, when the hillsides blaze with red leaves competing for attention, creating a uniquely autumnal countryside scene in Wuyuan.
