In spring, the mountains and fields are covered with blooming apricots, peach blossoms and green willows, and the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains is simply breathtaking. In the height of summer, the village is nestled among the mountains, with some white walls and black tiles occasionally visible halfway up the mountain. As autumn comes, the maple leaves turn bright red and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant. The mountains around the village are all dressed in colorful finery. In winter, when heavy snow is falling, the mountains, rivers and villages stretch out in a vast expanse, presenting a different kind of charm...

This is Ni Yuan Village, hidden in the four seasons and nestled among the mountains, lakes, stones and alleys.

Niyuan Village is located in the Luliang Mountain Resort Area of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is backed by Fengguan Mountain in the north and faces Xuanshui Lake in the south. It is about one hour's drive from the urban area of Xuzhou and is a provincial-level rural tourism village. Ni Yuan Village, formerly known as Xuan Shui Village, is an ancient village with a history of over 2,000 years. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the other. The village has stone walls, old houses and blue tiles. The layout of the village is regular, with stone walls, stone courtyards and stone paths connecting with the mountains and water. Stone mills, stone grinders and stone mortars are combined with the nostalgia. Old granaries, old stoves and old Wells coexist with the ancient village, fully demonstrating the simple and quiet beauty of a traditional village.

Ni Yuan Village is rich in cultural heritage. Confucius once left behind the timeless famous lines here, "Time flies like this, never ceasing day or night." Here, you can visit the Garden Expo Park, admire the terraced fields and flower fields, appreciate the ancient village of Ni Yuan, and stroll along the Luliang Water Street.

From the foot to the top of the mountain, on the three-story viewing platform, golden rape flowers, pink gosang trees and purple lavender change with the seasons. Looking down from the top: To the west, the suspended water Lake is like a green jade embedded in the mountains; to the south, the clusters of homestays are dotted with flower beds, with a natural oil painting filter.

I believe that when you are there, encounter a fishing boat in the mist by the suspended water lake, and come across the wisteria at the corner of the stone alley, you will understand the true meaning of "Long trapped in a cage, finally returning to nature"
