Anhui Chengkan| The most worthwhile treasure secret in Huizhou ancient village ✨I would like to call Chengkan the ceiling of Anhui ancient villages The scenery of Chengkan is indeed better than Hongcun without being overly commercialized, giving a more atmospheric and experiential feel when touring Chengkan satisfies all your fantasies about Huizhou ancient towns 🍃Small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, large courtyards, ancient trees and lotus ponds..... Wandering through the carved beams and painted buildings, the ancient lanes The distant white clouds and beautiful peaks are like a painting, serving as a clear backdrop. At the end of the alley, a sudden open view of the ancient bridge and lotus pond comes into view. Crossing the ancient bridge, you can see Anhui's famous rural landscape "Sun-drying Autumn" ✌️Chengkan, originally named Longxi, is known as "the first village in the south of the Yangtze River" and "the hometown of national treasures". It is the only well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient village in the country, gathering different architectural styles of Huizhou and "three carvings", and also has the beautiful wish for tourists of "touring Chengkan without any obstacles in life" ⛳Address: No. 78, Baolun Road, Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🎫Ticket: 107 (discounts available for staying in Chengkan) 🚃Transportation: There is a passenger transport center next to Huangshan North Station to go to Chengkan

16 kilometers away from Huangshan North Station, it has the reputation of "No mountain in the world after climbing Huangshan, no pit in life after visiting Chengkan". Chengkan is famous for its "wind" and "water", here preserves the traditional white walls and black tiles of Huizhou dwellings, the beautiful lotus pond moonlight of Pinghu stone bridge, and the characteristic autumn drying square makes it beautiful and spicy. This is selected by National Geographic as the modern "Qingming Shanghe Tu" Walk through Chengkan without pits in life, this seriously underestimated ancient town is not inferior to Hongcun, it is very comfortable without being commercialized. If you come to Huangshan, you must go to Chengkan. Transportation: You can take a bullet train from Shangrao to Huangshan North Station for 48 minutes. After getting off the train, you can charter a car or take a taxi to Chengkan (30 minutes away). Travel Guide 1 Chengkan is a small and sparsely populated scenic spot, it is not inferior to Tuling and Hongcun. Instead of crowding people, it is better to come here to feel the comfort of the real Jiangnan. 2 You can stay in Chengkan scenic spot at night, the cost performance is relatively high, so you can get up early to take pictures basically no one! 3 Hongcun still retains the ancient houses of the Song and Qing Dynasties, which makes people dream back to the Song Dynasty. 4 Here is full of Chinese style elements, small bridges and flowing water, spring river water warm duck prophet, bamboo raft ripples, thousand-year-old houses, Jiangnan water towns and other words can be found here. Photography 1 Strongly recommend to take pictures of national style Hanfu here, very out of the picture 2 Long focus and drone shooting from different angles are also very out of the picture Ticket‖Chengkan ticket 100 people can enter multiple times Chengkan

Most people only know about Hongcun in Anhui, including myself, but it wasn't until I came here that I realized how unforgettable Chengkan is. It is said that this is a gossip feng shui village with a unique name, "You Cheng Kan Yi Sheng Wu Kan", which has a special meaning. It is not as commercialized as Hongcun and has a more primitive atmosphere. There are also very few people, truly avoiding the crowds. It is not very big inside, and you may not need to stay in a hotel. You can finish exploring in two hours. We stayed at Shude Tang Hotel and felt that the privacy was very good. Tourists cannot enter from outside, and you can take photos all day inside. Living here, you can occasionally hear the sound of a bell ringing. Upon inquiry, I found out that it is the "Peace Bell" in the scenic area. When it rains, it is very quiet here and there are not many tourists. You can only hear the occasional calls of the old actor geese brothers. Perhaps, for people like us who enjoy peace, leisure, and admiring scenery, this place is just perfect. After the rain, mist lingers around the distant mountains, reflecting against the white walls and tiles, while nearby trees are lush and green, and lotus leaves emerge from the water. Sitting at the hotel entrance, one can spend a whole day watching a few big white geese swim around. Here, wearing a qipao and taking photos, holding an oiled-paper umbrella and strolling around, one can easily capture the feeling of Jiangnan's misty rain. Staying at the hotel includes tickets and breakfast. If you come to play, the ticket seems to be 100/person. The food at the hotel is quite delicious, and the breakfast is simple and exquisite. There are many rooms of different sizes and styles, with prices above 1000. If it weren't for going to other places, I really want to stay for a few more days. We also took a lot of photos, and it feels like we can't post them all. If I have the chance, I would like to bring my parents here for a visit. It's a great place to relax and unwind.

🌟This is my first visit to Chengkan, and I really like this ancient Huizhou town, which is not too commercialized and not overcrowded with tourists. Only by visiting this little-known ancient town recommended by National Geographic can you truly appreciate its splendor. 🚄Transportation: You can take the high-speed train directly to Huangshan North Station, and then it's about a 20-minute taxi ride to reach this fairy-like town in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌟We arrived in Chengkan on March 21, just in time for the blooming of the rapeseed flowers. The vast fields of rapeseed flowers with Huizhou-style architecture in the background make for incredibly beautiful photos. It was a rainy day when we arrived, and I was a bit disappointed at first. But the next morning, the mist was ethereal, and the fog over the mountains was dense, making for stunning photos that truly resembled ink paintings. 🌟You must stay in the village for one night, and wander leisurely through the ancient village the next morning. It's very quiet, with only the sound of birds and the gentle flow of the stream. You'll feel completely relaxed, breathing in the moist air, looking at the tranquil lake, and occasionally seeing a few ducks leisurely swimming by. I still can't forget the whole scene. 📷Chengkan Ancient Town Photography and Travel Guide 1️⃣: At the entrance of Chengkan village, there is a large pond that is covered with green lotus leaves in the summer, and groups of big white geese swim leisurely by, recreating the scenes from elementary school textbooks. This spot is also great for taking photos, capturing the peaceful reflection of the ancient village on the water surface. 2️⃣ At the entrance of the village, there is a Changxing Lake with several quaint stone bridges. Standing on one stone bridge, you can use a telephoto lens to capture the opposite bridge, giving the feeling of being in a painting. 3️⃣ Chengkan Bagua Village, where there are circles of round arches, paired with the simple and unsophisticated walls, is also a must-visit spot. 4️⃣ The Zhenjing Luodongshu Memorial Hall, known as the number one memorial hall in China, is very impressive with its carved beams and painted rafters, showcasing the beauty of ancient architecture and representing the pinnacle of Huizhou ancient architecture. 🎫The ticket price is 107, which is a bit expensive, but if you stay in a guesthouse in the village, the owner can help you buy it for 12 yuan cheaper. The village is not too commercialized, so there are not many shops, and it can be difficult to find a late-night snack, so it's a good idea to bring some snacks with you.
