Huizhou District Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Hongcun Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The ancient charm of Huizhou, the beauty of Hongcun
In the ancient villages of southern Anhui, Hongcun is undoubtedly the most famous and influential one. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a long ancient charm, revealing a strong artistic atmosphere everywhere. Walking into Hongcun is like walking into an ancient dream.
The stone road is winding and winding, and on both sides are the well-arranged Huizhou-style buildings, with white walls and black tiles, and every place exudes the charm of history. The residents here are hospitable, they will tell stories about Hongcun, as if they have traveled back to the old times.
In Hongcun, the most iconic sign is Nanhu Lake at the entrance of the village. The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding Huizhou-style buildings and the distant mountains. When there is sunlight, the lake is golden ripples, which is breathtakingly beautiful; in the rainy day, it is a charming landscape painting.
In addition to the scenery of Nanhu, the Moon Marsh shaped like a crescent is also a great attraction. Every tourist who comes to Hongcun will take a commemorative photo here.
As the New Year approaches, Hongcun also has many folk customs. Holding a lantern and shuttling through the ancient village, the strong New Year atmosphere lights up the streets and alleys.
In a place of absolute devotion, I dreamt not of Huizhou
In Huizhou, what I remember most is Hongcun. This is not my first time in Hongcun, but the last time I was here was in 2012. Yes, this visit is a return to the old place after 11 years. I still vaguely remember the scenery here, remember the photos taken on the Nanhu Bridge, which I used as my profile picture on the school network for a while. I remember the photos left by the moon marsh, and the Hui-style buildings with pink walls and black tiles, which bring me back to that green university era~
Once again in Hongcun, retracing the path I once walked, the boy of that year has finally grown up~
.
Here are a few small things I recommend doing in Hongcun
1⃣️Take a photo of the beautiful scenery of the Hui-style architecture reflected in the water of the Moon Marsh
2⃣️Have a pot of tea in Hongcun, don't miss the top ten famous tea Huangshan Maofeng
3⃣️If you can go in November-December, go on Wednesday, free admission, save 100
4⃣️Go to the Tiantang Restaurant for a bowl of local chicken soup, it's very fresh
5⃣️Take a photo of the persimmon tree in the autumn scenery of Hongcun, everything goes well
6⃣️Go to Nanhu Academy, feel the spirit of this place
7⃣️Go to eat stinky mandarin fish, chestnut roasted chicken, hairy tofu, feel the Hui cuisine
8⃣️Stay next to Hongcun, sleep in the Hui-style architecture under the stars
9⃣️Go to the nearby Tachuan, Lucun, Xidi for a turn, it's beautiful
🔟Go to the Hongcun post office to buy a postcard, send it to your future self

Country in the painting - Hongcun
November is the most beautiful season in Hongcun. This year the weather is relatively warm, so the autumn colors in Ta Chuan are not strong enough. It takes more than 2 hours to get to North Huangshan from Hangzhou. It takes an hour to get to Hongcun by taxi. Stay in a homestay in the scenic area, which is cheap and good. Take a rest and stroll around the street, and have Huizhou cuisine for dinner. The night view of Yuezhao is recommended. Visit the scenic spots in the morning of the second day, check out at noon, and head straight to Huangshan...
How long would you stay in such a beautiful village
Hongcun, known as the 'village in Chinese painting', is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, a typical example of Huizhou architecture.

Beautiful natural scenery: Hongcun is surrounded by water systems, such as Nanhu and Yuezhao, making it a village like in a painting. You can stroll in the ancient village, enjoy the natural scenery of Hongcun, and enjoy the quiet rural atmosphere.

Huizhou Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Rapeseed flowers-Huizhou
They are as graceful as a watercolor painting, reflecting the typical spring atmosphere in the area. Early spring is still chilly with cold breezes and showers, and the rapeseed flowers are like the ushers bringing the warm spring.The best time is Mid-March to April.The best thing about this adventure is that you can view this whilist in a boat along the river.Nothing beats this feeling.I highly recommend this place
The ancient city of Huizhou is the epitome of modern people's imagination of ancient Huizhou life. It cannot be said that the cultural meaning of ancient Huizhou is much stronger than other places. Walking in the streets, the ancient buildings that have been preserved are telling the history of Huizhou.
I have never been a dream, I have no dreams to Huizhou. This is a thousand years of singer. For thousands of years, countless people have a deep love for Huizhou. She is like a black and white ink painting. She is exquisite and simple, it seems that every building They are telling the story of the ancient Huizhou people.
Dream back to Huizhou.
The core area and birthplace of ancient Huizhou culture
Shexian ancient city, the core area and birthplace of ancient Huizhou, is now renamed to Huangshan City. However, the center of ancient Huizhou was in Shexian. In ancient times, Huizhou was equivalent to a prefecture-level city, governing six counties. Today, one of the six counties, Wuyuan, has been incorporated into Shangrao in Jiangxi, and Jixi has been assigned to Xuancheng, leaving Shexian as a county under Huangshan City.
Nevertheless, Shexian still retains a large number of ancient relics and traditional culture. There are many ancient villages with Huizhou-style architecture, and the county town itself has many ancient houses. The county town, where the ancient city is located, has a beautiful environment with the Xin'an River flowing through it, and the surrounding mountains are clearly visible, with the charm of ancient Huizhou still emanating here.
Huizhou ancient city, except for being a bit crowded during holidays, is quite perfect.

a ⛴ ride in She County, Anhui
#historicplaces Xin’an River Landscape Gallery is such a beautiful 🤩 place to visit. I was at Shexian and surprisingly, I didn’t know that taking a ferry ⛴ can take me to this wonderful place. It was such an interesting ferry ride with I think 3-4 different stops. With uniqueness of beauty in different stop, I truly enjoyed the ride. At one stop, you can watch a local performances of the locals featuring their traditional way of fishing etc. You will be amazed with amazing beautiful natural scenery. Locals are nice , you can buy local products and try some local food around too. I love the fact that there is an activity like this for tourist or anyone who would like to explore this county and learn it’s culture and customs #tripblazers #tripaway

Anhui • Huangshan | Explore the comprehensive guide to a dream-seeking journey through Huizhou
Embark on a unique dream-seeking journey to Huizhou! (Complete Guide)
Huizhou is named after the Huixi and Huiling in Jixi County, where 'Hui' traditionally means beautiful, hence the name 'Huizhou'. This exploration of Huizhou starts from the Huizhou Prefecture She County, strolling through the ancient city of Huizhou, visiting the Xin'an River, heading to Jixi, stepping onto the ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou trail, crossing Anhui and Zhejiang, and seeking dreams in Huizhou!
**Itinerary (3 days and 2 nights)**:
**Day1**: Arrive at She County North Station by high-speed train, 👉 to the Huishang Mansion (the mansion is on the other side of the river, so we visited it first, the ticket price is not low 💰80 yuan, the architecture and furnishings have a long history, but it's quite disorganized, not recommended without a guide as it's hard to understand 😔) ➡️ Huizhou Ancient City (city tower, Qiao Tower, Xu Guo Archway—Huizhou Museum—check in at the Fanghua County Committee Courtyard 🎬) ➡️ Yuliang Ancient Town, Yuliang Dam (feels great to stroll in the evening, walking along the riverbank, the ancient town does not require an entrance fee, and it's not commercialized 🎈) ➡️ Night tour of Huizhou Ancient City
**ps**: These attractions are not far from each other, reachable by walking 🚶♂️ or riding a shared electric scooter 🛵. The ancient city of Huizhou also serves as a pedestrian street, which may feel quite commercialized. It's lively at night with many people dancing in the square, and there are convenient dining options 😋; the city tower and museum are worth a visit 👍.
**Day2**: Breakfast at the famous Tiger Stove snacks in Huizhou Ancient City, tastes good 👍👉 Xin'an River Landscape Gallery (take a minibus or bus 938 from She County Hotel/She County Square to Shendu, minibus 💰10 yuan, bus 💰6 yuan, there's a bus at 8:50, get there early to catch the 10:30 boat tour of the Landscape Gallery, the next one is not until noon, the tour lasts 3h, the scenery on both sides of the river is nice, the water was a bit yellow due to rain the day I went, usually it should be even more beautiful 😉. After the tour, wait for the minibus or bus at the drop-off roundabout, about 1h frequency, get off at She County Square, then take the bus to She County North Station, buy a high-speed train ticket 💰9 yuan to reach Jixi North Station) ➡️ Jixi County Museum (nice architectural design but the exhibits are average 😔)
**ps**: You can choose to stay in Jixi County 🏠 or go to Longchuan Scenic Area. The last bus to Longchuan is around five o'clock, a taxi would cost around forty yuan, Longchuan Scenic Area does not charge an entrance fee after 5 pm, but you can't enter the ancestral halls. Although it's a 5A site, it's not very large, I missed the last bus and didn't make it to Longchuan 🤣.
**Day3**: Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Trail, about 12 kilometers one way, not very difficult, 👉 the downside of self-driving or independent travel is the need for a return trip 🚗, the essence of the trail is near the Anhui entrance, you can walk from Jiangnan's First Pass - Shi Cha Pavilion to Xiaxue Hall and then return, about 12km. If you have more stamina, you can walk to Lantian Ao and return, about 18km, there's not much to see from Lantian Ao to Yonglai Village. From the county town or Longchuan Village, take bus 601 or 602 to the Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Trail, return by taking bus 602 across the road from the scenic area parking lot or bus 601 at the parking lot entrance, there's one at 4:30 and another after five o'clock, from the Anhui entrance to Yonglai Village it takes about 4 and a half hours one way, to Lantian Ao about three and a half hours 😉.
Anhui's Huangshan Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Scenic Area‖One of the must-visit spots in Huangshan
Huangshan Surrounding Tours | Going to Xin'an River Landscape Gallery? This article is all you need|||✨Every time I go home, I pass by this place called Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, and this time for the May Day holiday, I decided to take two days to unlock🔓 this secret realm.
🌈The Xin'an River Landscape Gallery is located in Shendu Town, Shexian County, Huangshan City, originating from Xiuning County of Huangshan, flowing through Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, and into the Qiantang River to the sea, known as the 'Eastern Danube'. The ancient Huizhou merchants used to travel down the Xin'an River to spread their business all over the world.
🚌How to get there?
If you're driving, you can navigate directly to the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery🅿️ parking lot (4h/10 yuan), or you can park on the roadside.
☘️Travel Tips
🎫Ticket + 🚢Boat ticket total 138💰/person, which can be booked on Ctrip. There are more boat trips on holidays, generally from 8:00-15:00 (it is recommended to go between 8:00-9:30 in the morning) and the whole process is a boat tour lasting 3h. The route passes through Jiusha, Zhangtan Hongzhuang Pavilion, and Jiuxing Fishermen's Wind, three scenic spots.
⛺️Jiusha is that kind of simple Huizhou-style residence, with various scenes of labor that are perfect for taking photos, very photogenic.
💄The second attraction, Ten Miles of Red Makeup, is also quite stunning, and the huge sedan chair at the end is exquisitely carved, very beautiful, and also shows the wealth of the ancient Huizhou merchants.
🐟I think the most interesting is the last one, the Jiuxing Fishermen's Wind fishing🐟 performance, which is performed by local fishermen using everyday fishing tools. Among them is a 🚣♀️small boat that only fits one person, which makes one admire the fishermen's exquisite skills.
🥣For lunch, you can go to the restaurant at the dock, Botou Restaurant, which is quite crowded. Their ribs and scallion oil river shrimp taste amazing, and four dishes total over 140, which is a good value for money.
🏖️Finally, here is a map for your reference. After visiting the Landscape Gallery, if you still have time, you can also visit nearby attractions, such as Yuliang Dam, Huizhou Ancient City, Maihua Fishing Village, and Yangchan Tulou. My 2-day tour itinerary was Xidi-Mulin Village-Huizhou Ancient City-Shitan Village-Xin'an River Landscape Gallery-Yangchan Tulou

Xidi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Huangshan/Yellow Mountain, Anhui, China
Getting There - Speed train to Huangshan Bei (North) station or fly to the Huangshan Airport. Then taxi or Didi to your hotel.
Attractions - Take a leisurely walk down Tunxi Old Street and enjoy the local cuisine, or visit one of the many restaurants or bars. FFFFF sandwich cafe has the best jaffles in town. Or visit Yungpu or Yungpi scenic area of Huangshan South scenic area (Yellow Mountain) via shuttle bus and then cable car up the mountain. We left our luggage at a local cafe and our luggage was well looked after. You can also visit the hot spring scenic area near the Huangshan South scenic area. If you enjoy visiting ancient villages, Hongcun and Xidi are worth visiting.
Hotels - Shanshui Boutique Hotel 山水间喜新恋旧 is a Japanese style hotel with Sushi restaurany and friendly, and helpful English speaking receptionist , Xiao Xi, on the shopping street and about 300m from Tunxi Ancient street. We also stayed at the Hongcun Scenic Hotel inside the Hongcun Scenic area. You can also stay on the mountain in Yungpi or Behai hotel, but it is quite a walk to get there, so pack lightly if you decide to stay on the mountain. There is also a nice hotel at the foot of Yungpu cable car area, but I don't know the name of the hotel.
Food & Restaurants - Too many in the area to single one out, many ranging from Korean, Japanese, street food to local Chinese cuisine.
Shopping - Local trinkets, tea, clothes and jewellery, depending on your taste.#newyearadventure

🌧️ The plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River
💧 Raindrops drip from the eaves
In the courtyard of 'Si Shui Gui Ming Tang', rain has a new meaning
A rain scatters the clouds at the edge of the sky
It spreads over the mountains and rivers
And perfectly merges with the ancient villages of southern Anhui
If you happen to pass by Yi County after the rain
Its beauty is naturally formed!

It's so much better than the commercialized Hongcun in terms of experience
I originally found Chengkan while searching for ancient towns
But the transportation was very inconvenient
Then I discovered Xidi, this hidden gem
The Yi County high-speed train station was only opened last year
There were a total of 6 people including me getting off the high-speed train at this station
After getting off the high-speed train, a 3-yuan bus ride takes you directly to Xidi Village
Wednesday is free admission
The guesthouses and hotels in the scenic area are centuries-old houses
The owners are warm and hospitable
Unlike the commercialized Hongcun
This place has not been developed by developers
It is completely operated by the villagers themselves
The scenery is no less than that of Hongcun
After all, it is an ancient village that has been featured in 'National Geographic'
