In April 2011, we headed down to Jiangxi Province in South China to take a look around Wuyuan County. Wuyuan is famous for gorgeous, vast fields of yellow rapeseed flowers, and we timed our visit to make sure we'd see them all in full bloom—beautiful!
There was more than the flowers for us to look at. Also in the area: the ancient architecture and bridges of small riverside villages, the Jiangling Mountains, Jingdezhen, the 'Porcelain Capital' of China. Coming from Beijing, we also found the culture, lifestyle, and food of the area quite different.
