Chengkan Ancient Town | Truly deserving of its reputation as the number one village in the south of the Yangtze River, I will visit again

During those days in Chengkan, the sunshine was simply too splendid to describe🌞! My friends and I plunged into this ancient village in the south of Anhui, as if stepping into a time tunnel✨. Did you know? There are 21 national key cultural relics here!🏛️ Strolling leisurely through this ancient village in spring, the willow trees by Yongxing Lake are so lush🌳, and the sunlight sprinkling on the rooftops is breathtakingly beautiful💖. Honestly, I really like the ancient and narrow streets of Chengkan, as well as the ancestral halls and stone bridges, each exuding the charm of the years🏞️. Imagine the trees stretching out from the courtyards, casting a veil over the streets, the feeling is just amazing!😍 Moreover, this place has the most well-preserved Ming Dynasty architecture in the country, it's like traveling back to ancient times🏮. You must visit Chengkan in spring! It was not only rated as the number one village in the south of the Yangtze River during the Song Dynasty, but it is also an ancient town in Huizhou, southern Anhui, that is seriously underrated🏠. ✨The Ancient of Chengkan✨ This place is known as the hometown of national treasures! There are a total of twenty-one national key cultural relics!📜 Xia House, Luodong Shu Ancestral Hall, Zhongying Tower, Yanyi Hall, these places are like the 'museums' of the village, each step taken is a step in the long river of history🚶‍♀️. ✨The Grandeur of Chengkan✨ Speaking of the grandeur of Chengkan, it's not just talk! The Bagua layout perfectly displays the wisdom of geography and environmental science🌐. Walking through its three streets and nine alleys feels like exploring a huge maze🕵️‍♀️. And the Luodong Shu Ancestral Hall, known as 'the number one ancestral hall in China', its scale and architectural art are truly awe-inspiring!🤩 ✨The Beauty of Chengkan✨ The most well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient village in the country, this place is a museum of Hui-style architecture!🏛️ Pavilions, platforms, towers, attics, bridges, wells, ancestral halls, all kinds of styles are available, so beautiful that it's dazzling👀. ✨The Elegance of Chengkan✨ The bridges over Yongxing Lake, on sunny days the reflections of trees and houses on the lake surface are like a painting🖼️. The ink and brush of Wenyu Hall add a literary atmosphere to this place🖌️. Walking on the stone-paved roads, the footprints, one deep and one shallow, seem to echo the whispers of time👣. 📸There are many must-visit spots in Chengkan! The Bagua archways are a must-see, 'Traveling through Chengkan, one's life will be without hardship', the 13 Bagua-shaped archways at the village entrance symbolize overcoming life's difficulties, which feels very meaningful!💪 There are also Yongxing Lake, Saiqiu Square, Luodong Shu Ancestral Hall, and the alleys, three streets and nine lanes of the village, each worth savoring👌. 📍The location of Chengkan is in Chengkan Ancient Town, Huangshan, Anhui, just search for '78 Baolun Road, Huizhou District, Huangshan City' in your navigation system📍. It's about a 20-minute taxi ride from Huangshan North Station, super convenient!🚗 I have already planned the tour route for you: starting from the entrance of the scenic area, first go to the viewing platform to overlook the panorama🏞️, then stroll along Yongxing Lake🚶‍♂️, and then go to Saiqiu Square to feel the joy of harvest🌾. Finally, delve into the ancient village and explore the cultural relics hidden in the streets and alleys🔍. Don't forget to stay a night at Wenyu Hall, that museum-style homestay will definitely give you a unique experience!🏨
