Climate
The best time to come here is early Autumn, when the fields are covered with yellow and the weather is extremely friendly.
Understand
Chengyang refers, in fact, to the famous wooden wind-and-rain bridge built about 100 years ago. Although there are many in this area, this is the most renowned and visited. The area is extremely peaceful and quiet, people are among the nicest you'll meet in China, prices are cheap and tourists do not tend to come here - generally speaking, it's a great place to relax for a few days, take in Dong culture and simply enjoy the scenery.
Landscape
A river flows through the villages, and to either side are paddy fields. The slopes in this area are not as steep as Longji, for example, and a wander off the track will reveal all sorts of agriculture, such as aquaculture in ponds in between the valley sides, and small tea and timber plantations. It is very green and lush.
