🎑 Sightseeing Tips
1️⃣ Siping Village
A very beautiful village with many persimmon trees, perfect for photos. We tried the popular Xiaoran French bakery, which tasted great and made us very happy! The shop also has great photo spots.
2️⃣ Longtan Ancient Town
A ten-minute drive from Siping, it’s a relatively large ancient town with many food options. You can have lunch here at one of the many farmhouse restaurants. We ate at Tanshe; the taste was average, and personally, I think it’s not as photogenic as Siping.
3️⃣ Qiántóu Village
Ten minutes from Longtan, worth a visit. The scenery along the creek upstream is very nice, with many persimmon trees. The village is small and has several photogenic cafes.

📌 Practical TIPS
1. Best season: Autumn (late October to early December) is the best time to enjoy persimmons.
2. Dressing advice: Wear light-colored, simple clothes to match the ancient village background; wear comfortable shoes.
3. Must-have items: Mosquito repellent (many mosquitoes in the mountains), jacket (big temperature difference between morning and evening)
