Who said that there is no snow in Jiangnan, do not believe you to Hongcun to see Anhui Hongcun, known as the painter's paper ink, Jiangnan poets wrote the painting of the countryside. The bridge on the south lake is famous for an Oscar-winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but more people know it because it has the reputation of the countryside in Chinese paintings. A representative Huizhou architecture, a high horse head wall, clear lake, arch bridge like rainbow, like a painting into many people's hearts.
Blue sky and white clouds, breeze blowing, exquisite carved wood, are worth seeing. I really suggest to give an explanation, understand that different patterns of wood carving have different meanings, there are similarities between the house and the house, but its history is different, to understand the wisdom of the ancients
Hongcun, located in Jixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a village full of ancient charm, known as "the village in the painting". Here, you can feel the beautiful scenery of traditional Chinese countryside and appreciate the vastness of ancient Huizhou culture.
Hongcun is indeed worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful and the buildings are simple. Especially living in it. It will feel very quiet at night. If you don't consciously sleep early and get up early, you will wake up naturally at six o'clock. It is not too pleasant to serve a night of porridge and small pickles in the morning. The local restaurant inside tastes good, the price is moderate, and the snacks are also delicious. I like Gegenyu, Baihuayu, Hairy Tofu, and Shiqi Cake ~
