A must-visit for local trips! Hui Gang Ancient Village, where you can fully enjoy the perfect combination of ancient charm and natural scenery!

After a light drizzle, strolling through Hui Gang Ancient Village is like traveling through time, stepping into a historical scroll. 👀 There are no bustling tourists, only the long rain alley quietly waiting on the wet bluestone road, allowing the rain to gently tap the strings of time. 🌧️🎶 🌸 Next to the old houses, the late cherry blossoms quietly bloom, interweaving a spring ink painting with pink petals and black-tiled white walls. 🎨 🍲 Wisps of cooking smoke rise, as the elderly inside the house focus on cooking homemade delicacies, the scent of firewood and food blending together, permeating the air. 🥘🔥 🧺 Village women are busy washing clothes by the river, with obedient dogs watching by their side, their eyes filled with simple kindness. 🐶👩‍🌾 🌿 The entire ancient village appears exceptionally quiet and tranquil in the drizzle, as if all the world's disturbances are gently filtered through the fine rain. 💦🍃 📍【Hui Gang Village】originates from the Eastern Han Dynasty, took shape during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its name was penned by the famous strategist Liu Bowen. Legend has it that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bowen retired here, observing the terrain resembling a phoenix spreading its wings, and wrote the four characters 'Feng Hui Gao Gang', from which the name 'Hui Gang' has been used to this day. 🐦📜 This ancient village, where the phoenix rests, is located at a strategic traffic hub, connecting Fuyang to the east, Pujiang to the south, and Jinqiu to the west. A diverse culture and multiple surnames coexist here, forming one of the largest and most well-preserved ancient villages in the Tongnan region. 🌍🏠 🏠 There are 88 ancient buildings still in existence, including 8 precious Ming Dynasty structures. They stand as guardians of history, silently telling the charm of ancient Huizhou architecture. As you step into it, the Huizhou style hits you in the face, with white walls and black tiles, and high horse-head walls; the alleys are deep, and the paths are winding; the wood and stone carvings are exquisitely detailed, each detail flowing with the ancient craftsmen's unique ingenuity. 🏛️🎨 Particularly unique is the waterway dug in the Yuan Dynasty, still benefiting later generations like a Jiangnan version of 'Karez wells', ingeniously connected with the water systems inside and outside the village. Despite changes in modern society's lifestyle, the number of waterways has decreased to a dozen, but the clear underground water still flows, and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of villagers washing here, continuing this simple way of life. 🌊👩‍🌾 🗺️【Navigation】: Feng Hui Gao Gang Ancient Village 💰【Ticket】: Free admission, explore to your heart's content 🚗【Transportation】: About a 1-hour drive from Hangzhou city center (80 kilometers easily accessible) 🅿️【Parking】: Free parking spaces available on the roadside, with spacious parking lots nearby for your peace of mind 🍲【Dining】: Several small restaurants are scattered along the street, and although there are no eateries inside the ancient village, authentic local flavors are just a few steps away ⏰【Visiting Time】: It is recommended to reserve one to two hours to slowly appreciate the ancient charm and enjoy the tranquility 🏞️【Nearby Attractions】: Along the way, you can visit cultural sites such as Longmen Ancient Town, Dongzigu Village, and Shen'ao Ancient Village, and the magnificent mountains of Tonglu, such as Daqi Mountain and Tongjun Mountain, are also within easy reach, offering endless beautiful landscapes. 🏞️🌄
