day trips from wancheng?
If you want something a bit different, head east to Nanyang's old town area. The Fuyang Mountain Temple complex is about 90 minutes out and has some well-preserved Ming dynasty architecture, plus a nice tea house where you can sit and watch the locals play chess. On the way back, stop at one of the roadside noodle stalls for a bowl of Wancheng-style lamian, it's chewier and more fragrant than the standard stuff you get in the city.
Head up to Wolonggang for the day, it's about an hour north. The dinosaur egg fossil site is genuinely impressive, they have over 10,000 specimens on display in the original dig location. Grab some local navel oranges from the stalls near the entrance, they're way better than what you'll find in the city markets.
You could drive south to the Danjiangkou Reservoir area, it's the water source for the South-North Water Transfer Project and the scenery is pretty dramatic with all those hills meeting the lake. The ferry ride across to the old submerged town site is worth the couple hours.
