To avoid the crowds during the May Day holiday, I recommend this off-the-beaten-path ancient village that has been around for a thousand years

May Day is just around the corner, and everywhere is crowded with people. Here you can find: ✅ A tranquil and elegant ancient village that dates back a thousand years. ✅ A sky full of stars, utterly romantic. ✅ Beautiful mountains and clear waters, perfect for hiking and breathing in nature. ✅ An extremely comfortable living environment, ideal for lying flat. This is Kaihua's Gaotiankeng Village. It is known as "China's most beautiful starry sky ancient village" It is the best place for stargazing in the East China region It is also one of the only six Chinese Dark Night Sky Preserves in the country The village has a starry sky library, starry sky cafe, and starry sky accommodations, etc. The ancient village is hidden deep in the mountains, but it is fully equipped The original rammed earth houses preserve the ancient way of life For example, the "ancient method of fish farming" that has been passed down from 1300 years ago If you want to have a few quiet days or don't want to work anymore Consider staying here for a couple of days ❤️ Attractions: ✅ Planetarium: Very suitable for bringing children to experience the changes in the universe and gain knowledge ✅ Starry Sky Library: An old house renovated, perfect for leisurely reading ✅ Ancient Method of Fish Farming: This is a feature of Gaotiankeng Village, with many along the stream ✅ Stargazing Platform: At night, the glow stones and the starry sky complement each other, super romantic ✅ Starry Sky Coffee Shop: Have a coffee in the ancient village, this place is also great for taking photos ✅ Specialty Farmhouse Restaurant: Local specialties to eat, the vegetables are homegrown, and the home-cooked dishes are delicious ❤️ Nearby is also the Taihui Mountain, known as the "Jiangnan Potala Palace", with villages on the terraces. Although the beautiful rapeseed flower season has passed, the rainy days are shrouded in mist, like a fairyland 🏡 Accommodation: I stayed at the Jinshangyun Residence, right in Gaotiankeng Village. The room is connected to the fields, and opening the window reveals a field of lush greenery. The room is also very spacious, with brand new facilities. If it rains, the sound of the rain combined with the nearby stream is perfect white noise for inducing sleep 🚗 Transportation: Navigate to "Fanjie·Xingxu Gaotian" by car, there is a parking lot at the entrance of the village 📢 Notes: 1️⃣ Accommodations are in high demand, try to book in advance 2️⃣ The mountain roads are quite narrow, be careful not to scrape your car 3️⃣ If you go, try to choose a sunny day, so you can see the starry sky
