Hongcun Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
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

Xidi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
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

Recommendations for autumn travel destinations, experience the romance of nature!
As autumn arrives, the Duoba Gully Poplar Gorge in Dunhuang becomes a golden ocean. The leaves of the poplar trees turn from green to yellow, decorating the gorge like a poem. The poplar forest in October contrasts with the reeds, and together with the distant mountains and deserts, they present a magnificent view. The afterglow of the sunset covers the earth, and the entire poplar forest is golden and breathtaking.
Every year from October to November is a good time to appreciate ginkgo in Qinglian Temple in Jincheng. The pair of thousand-year-old ginkgo trees there are now covered with yellow leaves. Walking among them or sitting quietly drinking tea and enjoying the autumn, you can feel the charm of nature and the joy of life. The 6000-year-old ginkgo tree in Zhidi Dai Temple makes people sigh at the brevity of life. We are just dust blown by the wind in six thousand years, fortunate to spend an autumn day with it.
Tachuan is known as one of the three major autumn colors in the country and the most beautiful place in southern Anhui in autumn. In autumn, the leaves of the wubai trees turn from green to yellow and then to red, colorful. Coupled with the well-arranged Huizhou-style houses, it forms a charming rural landscape.
Wuyuan has a history of 600 years and is rated as one of the most beautiful ancient villages in China. The green terraces, golden rice waves, and joy of harvest form a unique "sun-drying autumn" scene, decorating the village like a poem. The worldly atmosphere and joy of harvest in autumn bloom here.
The branches of the wubai trees in Nanjing are fiery red, the ginkgo leaves are golden all over the ground, and they are intertwined with the green willows in the blue waves of Xuanwu Lake to form a beautiful scene. Walking in the ginkgo forest on the cool mountain covered with a golden carpet, you will deeply feel the meaning of the name "Jinling".
Changbai Mountain is the ideal place to pursue a brilliant autumn day. Here is the most perfect and pure primitive ecology: bright red maple trees, tall birch forests, dark green fir trees and colorful forests surround the holy mountain and lake. Here, you will realize all the romantic and beautiful fantasies about autumn in nature.
Early winter in Tagawa: The autumn colors have faded, but the tranquility and beauty remain
When people talk about Tagawa, they always think of its picturesque autumn. However, I was a bit late this year and missed the spectacular view of red leaves all over the village. Even so, I still felt the unique charm of early winter in Tagawa.
Driving into Tagawa, the fields and distant mountains along the way are breathtaking. Although the red leaves are no longer in full bloom, they still exude a unique beauty against the backdrop of early winter. It's a kind of subtle and tranquil beauty, more restrained and quiet compared to the prosperity of summer and the harvest of autumn.
Walking into Tagawa village, I followed the stone path, feeling the weight of history under my feet. The Huizhou-style buildings on both sides of the road still retain their original appearance, with white walls and black tiles, horse-head walls looking up, as if telling an ancient story. And those ancient trees standing by the road have witnessed the changes in Tagawa.
Walking on the ridge, I slowed down to savor the early winter atmosphere here. It's a fragrance of soil mixed with the scent of rice, making me feel a close contact with nature. And those farmers who are working are interpreting their love and persistence for this land with their sweat.
In the early winter of Tagawa, I seem to have found a quiet place of my own. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only the rare tranquility and peace. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath of the air here, and felt the breath of early winter jumping on the tip of my nose. It's a fresh and quiet taste, making me feel a kind of spiritual purification.
Although I missed the autumn colors of Tagawa, I found the tranquility and beauty of early winter here. It's a subtle and restrained beauty, making me feel a harmonious coexistence with nature. And those people who live here are interpreting their love and persistence for this land with their ordinary and simple life.
Early winter in Tagawa, although it does not have the colorful colors of autumn, it has a quiet and restrained beauty. The local customs, historical culture, and natural scenery here all make people linger. Perhaps it is because of the tranquility and peace here that I feel my soul has truly relaxed and purified.
Here, I am willing to slow down and savor this tranquility and beauty of early winter. I want to record the bits and pieces of beauty here with my words and lens and share them with more people. I hope you also have the opportunity to come here and feel the beauty of harmonious coexistence with nature.
Perhaps some people will regret missing the autumn colors of Tagawa. But I want to say that early winter in Tagawa also has its unique charm. As long as you carefully discover and feel, you will definitely find the beauty that belongs to you here.
In the early winter of Tagawa, let's feel this tranquility and beauty together, live in harmony with nature, and let the soul truly relax and purify. Perhaps in this process, you will find that life should be so simple and beautiful.
Finally, I want to summarize my trip to Tagawa with a sentence: 'Missing the autumn of Tagawa is regrettable, but experiencing the early winter of Tagawa is beautiful.' I hope you also have the opportunity to come here and feel this beauty.

Lu Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
March / April are the best times to see the bright yellow fields of rapeseed flowers surrounding villages in Anhui - and Lucun is one of those villages you can explore to enjoy an escape into nature.
From Shanghai, you can take a high speed train to Huangshan North Train Station, which is only around 2.5-3 hours. Then, to reach Lucun Village, you can either take a bus from Huangshan North or hire a driver for the day. We decided to hire a driver for a day, at 350 RMB per day, to take us around a number of villages in the area.
Lucun is located near Hongcun Village, so you could easily schedule in a visit to at least two or three villages in one day if you’re pressed for time. Lucun is one of the smaller villages, charming and tranquil, and is said to be around 1,000 years old. while strolling through, we saw locals simply getting about their day prepping meals, washing clothes or heading out into the fields to work. The surrounding areas was beautiful - with bright yellow fields surrounding the immediate area around the village, and huge rolling hills in the distance.
📍Lucun Village, Anhui Province, China
Ticket Price: 50 RMB

In Lu Village, near Hong Village, I was healed by a cat
Yi County Lu Village is about 1km away from Hong Village, it is highly recommended to take a look!
Lu Village is an ancient village mainly inhabited by the Lu family, with a history of over 1000 years. Two streams pass through the village, and you can just follow the stream to play.
📌Lu Village is not big, famous for its wood carving building, which is a representative of Huizhou wood carving. It was carved by two wood carving craftsmen hired by the rich merchant "Lu Baiwan" of the Qing Dynasty for 20 years. Among them, the wood carving of Zhicheng Hall is the most exquisite.
📌In addition to the beautiful scenery and wood carvings, the story of this "Lu Baiwan" and his six-room aunt is also a must-listen when you come to Lu Village, which is fascinating.
💡This time, when I was taking pictures on the bridge, a kitten ran over to my feet, which was very healing. There are really many small animals in Lu Village, and there are ducks swimming in the water.
⭐During the Spring Festival, you can collect stamps and check in at the scenic spot, and you can also get free admission with the arrival of Yi County high-speed rail ticket. The daily ticket is 50 yuan/person
💡ps. In about two months, the 800-acre rapeseed flower sea outside Lu Village is even more shocking.

Nanping Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
This obscure ancient village in Huizhou is beautifully low-key!
A village like an antique. Surrounded by mountains, it is tranquil and magical, with a babbling stream, fresh air, clusters of ancient houses, and the preservation of ancient style.

The sky is waiting for you in the color of smoke, Nanping is waiting for you!
Nanping, an ancient village in Huizhou, has probably all originated from several TV dramas in modern times. 80% of the shots in 'Chrysanthemum Bean' were completed in Ye's Ancestral Hall (Xuyi Hall). And all the indoor scenes in the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' were filmed in Ye's branch hall next door.
Compared with the heavily commercialized Hongcun, Nanping is still inhabited by many locals, but like many rural areas in China, the village is mostly left-behind elderly people. They guard the ancestral homes left by their ancestors, work in this picturesque landscape, remember the merits of their ancestors in their hearts, but cannot continue the glory of their ancestors.
Nanping Ancient Town: Time stands still, with a deep and lasting charm
In a quiet corner of Huangshan City lies an ancient town, Nanping. The secluded paths and bluestone-paved streets seem to make time pause here. Nanping Ancient Town is neither noisy nor showy, yet it exudes a unique tranquility and charm.
Wandering through the alleys of the ancient town is like stepping into a tunnel of time. The old buildings are serene and dignified, with their grey tiles and white walls revealing the traces of years gone by, telling tales of past legends. Each wooden door, each stone archway, is a witness to time, silently narrating the bits and pieces of yesteryear.
The charm of Nanping lies not only in its ancient architecture but also in the rich atmosphere of life it embodies. In the town, the aroma from snack stalls, the serenity of quaint teahouses, and the labor in traditional handicraft workshops are all beautiful imprints left by the passage of time.

🌟Highlights: Nanping Village has a deep historical and cultural heritage, and the most distinctive building is the ancestral hall group. It is also known as the film and television village. Many famous movies, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Ju Dou have been filmed here. The "Xu Zhi Hall" of the Ye Clan in Nanping Village is a 2,000-square-meter ancient ancestral hall with a double-eave roof and a grand and spacious layout. The wall in front of the ancestral hall stands tall, the gate is tall, and a pair of large stone drums that are taller than a person are very delicately carved. The branch halls and family halls in Nanping Village were mostly built by officials and wealthy people. It's worth taking a slow stroll. In the famous Ye Clan Ancestral Hall, 80% of the shots in the movie "Ju Dou" directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li in 1989 were filmed here, and it still retains its original appearance at the time of filming.
📌Small Tips: When visiting Nanping Ancient Village, you can check in the filming location of the movie. It is best for girls to wear ancient costumes, which feels very special when taking pictures.
Food recommendation:
Ju Dou Restaurant, in the autumn of 1989, the movie Ju Dou directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li was filmed here, and I really like to eat here. The wall of Ju Dou Restaurant still hangs a photo with Gong Li that year.
🥬Hui cuisine emphasizes food supplement, good at roasting, stewing, steaming, less stir-frying, heavy oil, heavy color, heavy firework, good taste.
🍒Although the ingredients are simple, the most common farmhouse dishes retain the true taste of the food, which is very delicious.
🌶The classic Hui dishes represent stinky mandarin fish, roasted loofah, roasted beans, and bamboo shoots, all of which are delicious😋
Driving from Hunan to Anhui for a self-guided tour, I visited Hongcun, Nanping Village, and Huizhou
Touring Anhui, there are endless Hui-style buildings to see. Regarding the construction of houses and the design of water systems, when I went to Nanping Village, which is also a film and television base, I felt that the water system was not as good as Hongcun, and it seemed a little less spiritual. However, it doesn't matter, the ancient buildings here are more than Hongcun, and the commercial flavor is not so strong, which is quite good. During the tour, Dad Ze took a fancy to a private house from the Jiaqing period. The boss enthusiastically said that we could dine at her place, so the whole family had a meal in a house with a history of hundreds of years, and I felt like I had traveled through time.
The water of Taohua Tan is a thousand feet deep, but it can't compare to the affection Wang Lun gave me.
