Wuyuan
Do
add listing [Wuyuan River Stadium The rivers in the area have rafts that can be hired. There is also a very miniature version of this in the streams of Small Likeng. Sporting events and concerts are held at Wuyuan River Stadium, a modern, futuristic-looking stadium that seats 41,500.
Talk
Very little English is spoken, although most of the touristed villages will have signs in English, Japanese, and Korean, as well as Chinese. If you are not Asian, expect have people constantly yell "hello" at you and stare.
Buy
Eat
add listing Wuyuan city does not have good restaurants. It is best to eat inside the villages. Brook Hotel , in Small Likeng, has nice food and an English menu (the only place in the whole of Wuyuan). Good food is also available at the Guangming Teahouse in Little Likeng, which has a nice location with a view down the river (walk up the canals to the "top"). In other villages, food can be available if you ask.
Drink
add listing There are many teahouses dotted throughout the villages. Beer and rice wine can be bought at these or the few restaurants/guesthouse kitchens. There are no bars/cafes in the villages. And partying is definitely not an option as everything shuts down by 10PM.
Sleep
add listing Wuyuan has a number of hotels near the Wuyuan bus stations (but Wuyuan is uninspiring, get out to the villages asap). Any of the villages have simple and cheap accommodation easily available. There are many signs, generally with English. Small Likeng's teahouses do not have signs out, but have private rooms that can be rented. Off-season prices are in the range of ¥100-120. You can also check C-trip.com, but note that the pictures and facilities are not actually as advertised. AD: There is an accommodation in Small Likeng, Brook Hotel (傍溪居; Bang Xi Ju) , the only one in Wuyuan you can also book online from Hostelworld or Hostelbookers, telephone 13879349519. A good place to stay and eat in Small Likeng. Friendly family, good rooms (roughly ¥120) with a patio area on the top floor. Hot showers, double with private bathroom and air conditioner, free Internet access. Clean and good value. Food is also available at a couple other places in the village, but restaurants will close by 8PM. Try the local fish, red carp, very delicious in this hotel. Food is reasonably priced. What is more, the son of the owner can speak good English and is very hospitable. By the way, they can get you a discount for the ¥210 ticket at ¥180 through travel agency if you contact them in advance.
