Shitan Village
石潭村
A high-mountain photography village in northern She County, where spring rapeseed terraces, clouds, and stacked Huizhou houses come together. It is one of southern Anhui's best-known photo spots.
Shitan sits on a hillside in the Changxi River valley in northeastern She County. Rapeseed fields step down the slopes and across the valley floor. In spring, morning mists drift through the valley, forming the classic scene of “spring in southern Anhui,” with whitewashed walls, black tiles, and village rooftops. Main viewpoints include Xiatai, Wujia Mountain, and the Shitan Village viewing platform. To shoot the sunrise and sea of clouds, you need to climb early in the morning. The scenic area usually charges a combined ticket of around ¥30. In peak season there are many photography groups and cars, so consider staying in a village guesthouse the night before. It is about 50 km from She County seat, with many mountain roads.
