May Day getaways
(Beijing Weekend)
Updated: 2006-04-25 16:24  Getting there: First take a train to Jingdezhen,
and then transfer to Wuyuan by bus. Buses from Jingdezhen to Wuyuan are
available daily from 6:30 am to 4:20 pm. If you plan to visit Wuyuan only, be
sure to buy the return train (K46, 7:21 am from Jingdezhen) ticket on the day
you arrive at Jingdezhen.
Duration: It is advisable to spend two to three days in the villages of
Wuyuan, the best way to savour the grand view of China's most beautiful
countryside and the serenity of rural life. That means you will have to spare at
least one week for the trip. If you have some extra days, a trip to the nearby
Yellow Mountain (Huangshan) is strongly recommended. There is a direct bus from
Wuyuan to the city of Huangshan.
Cost: Around 1,500 yuan (US$180) per person to cover transportation (hard
sleepers and buses) and basic accommodation for the recommended itinerary:
Beijing-Jingdezhen-Wuyuan, Jingdezhen-Beijing.
