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.

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...

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.

Xidi Ancient Village | This once-forgotten place is the distant land we yearn for

Xidi Ancient Village is located to the east of Yi County in Anhui Province, within the Huangshan Scenic Area of Yi County, Anhui Province. Covering an area of nearly 13 hectares, the village has a history of over 950 years and currently has 3 ancestral halls and 1 archway from the 14th to the 19th century, as well as 224 ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Xidi Village has preserved the typical style of ancient Ming and Qing villages to this day, earning it the nickname 'a living museum of ancient residences'. Entering the village, you are greeted by a tall archway, and as you walk along the main road by the lake, the ancient waterwheel turns slowly and heavily. A pond of clear water reflects the black-tiled and white-walled Hui-style architecture, perfectly blending with the golden rapeseed flowers in front of the doors, presenting a beautiful and enchanting Jiangnan ink painting. Along the way, there are many students and artists painting en plein air, each focused on their brushwork, capturing these beautiful scenes on canvas... Compared to the bustling Hongcun, Xidi feels more authentic and simple, with a much lower degree of commercialization. The village has one main street, which is a commercial street, but beyond that, most of the inhabitants are locals and there are quite a few guesthouses. Walking through the narrow alleys and lanes, you can look up to see tall horse-head walls and white walls and green tiles covered with moss, adorned with festive and auspicious red lanterns🏮. Here, you will forget the passage of time and only feel that the years are peaceful... If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, Xidi is a great place to visit, and it won't be overcrowded even on holidays. Walking on the bluestone-paved roads through the alleys, you can see these pink walls and black tiles that have witnessed a thousand years of historical changes; in the evening, buy a pot of locally brewed rice wine, sit by the window of your room for a drink, and watch as the red lanterns on the street light up one by one, enjoying the utmost comfort. Main attractions of Xidi: Hu Wenguang Archway, Zhuimu Hall, Duyi Court, Jing'ai Hall, Zoumalou, Kuanggu Zhai, Ruiyu Court, Dujing Hall, Taoli Garden, West Garden, East Garden, Dunren Hall, Lufu Hall, Qingyun Xuan, Yingfu Hall, Yanggao Hall, Shangde Hall, Dafu Residence, Diji Hall, etc. Recommended sightseeing route: Zoumalou, Mingjing Lake, Hu Wenguang Archway, Ruiyu Court, Zhuimu Hall, West Garden, East Garden, Hu's Ancestral Hall, Gula Bridge. Best photography spots: Walking to the right along Mingjing Lake, you can see a large waterwheel and rapeseed fields, with the time-worn Ming and Qing buildings opposite, the red couplets on the door lintels against the white walls, and a large expanse of golden rapeseed flowers at the door, which are very photogenic. In addition, each alley in Xidi has its own characteristics, and it's quite atmospheric for portrait photography, so give it a try! Transportation tips: The ancient villages in southern Anhui are quite scattered, so it's best to drive there. Alternatively, now that the Hangzhou-Huangshan high-speed train is in operation, you can take the high-speed train to Huangshan North and then rent a car or charter one. Xidi Ancient Village is not very large, and a general tour of 3.4 hours is enough. Of course, if you have time, you can stay in the scenic area, taste the local cuisine, learn about the local customs, and also see the beautiful night scenery🌃!

Misty rain in Huizhou, walking through Xidi ancient town in the rain

The drizzle adds a poetic touch to the journey through Xidi. The ancient town is as tranquil as an ink painting in the rain, with houses, stone paths, and raindrops intertwining.

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 #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#loveflowers#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

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 preservation of ancient buildings is no less than Xidi and Hongcun, but it has a tranquility that other ancient villages rarely have. How to play with children! Day 1 Gathering in Nanping Opening activities + Four Treasures of the Study - Seal Carving (Each child learns how to carve their own name on the first day of the camp, and all the sketches afterwards can use this seal) Day2 Morning reading Nanping Bridge Record Morning experience of cutting rice, threshing rice Afternoon watching Qimen Intangible Cultural Heritage Muliang Opera, Sichuan Opera, modern band, drama performance, outdoor self-service candlelight dinner, evening fireworks party Day3.

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.

Spring is coming! Just wait for the rapeseed flowers to bloom in Nanping again!

Speaking of Anhui, the first thing that comes to mind for most people might be the Yellow Mountains and Hongcun, but in fact, besides the high mountains⛰️ and Huizhou-style ancient architecture, there is also the city of Huangshan, which is worth exploring for its beauty. Today, let me introduce you to Nanping in Yixian County of Huangshan City, where the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the scenery is as beautiful and enchanting as an oil painting. In my view, the white clouds of Yixian County are as soft and delicate as cotton candy, which is the most attractive part to me. Walking further in, you'll encounter a dye workshop. As a traditional dye house, its unique and mysterious charm is enhanced by its location next to the mountains and water. I dyed a bag, just like the green mountains and clear waters, and the feeling of hand-dyeing is just different. When the rapeseed flowers bloom this year, I must go and see the scenery of Nanping again~
