The Forgotten Ancient Village—Shiting Village in Huizhou

✨ The flickering light and shadow subtly set off the charm of ancient Huizhou. Under the setting sun, the flying horse-head walls of Shiting Village are like silhouettes, and the mottled ancient walls of the old houses seem to be coated with a layer of bronze by the setting sun, appearing especially mysterious and solemn. 🌇✨ As the sun sets and the twilight deepens, Shiting Village becomes a world of light and shadow. The interplay of light and shadow on the old houses, the brilliant light filtering through the clouds in the mountains, coats the entire ancient village in a golden afterglow. 🏡✨ Shiting Village is not bustling with people coming and going; it is an authentic ancient village, more like a lyrical poem about dusk, dreamlike yet very real. Walking along the ancient narrow paths in the afterglow of the sunset. 🏞✨ Describing Shiting as secluded and tranquil is not an overstatement. It is a place that can heal the worries of a fast-paced life, hidden deep in the mountains, secluded and simple. The scenery here is like a paradise, with the quaint and elegant atmosphere of ancient Huizhou hitting you in the face. 🏡✨ In spring, Shiting Village in Huangshan is not only filled with bright changes in light and shadow, but also the cluster of rapeseed flowers in front of the doors of a few old houses that have long been uninhabited, adding a touch of vitality to this ancient village. The nearby farmland is also already filled with water, making this ancient village not only secluded and leisurely but also full of a strong sense of life. 📍✨Tips: 📍✨ Address: Shiting Village, Biyang Town, Huangshan City, open all day, no admission fee 📷✨ Photography suggestions: 1️⃣ Enter Shiting Village from the direction of Hongcun Avenue, and you will see a Songhe Pavilion. The area around the pavilion is a good place to take pictures of the spring rapeseed flowers. 2️⃣ Turn right at the pavilion, and passing through the path will take you to the residential area of the village, where you can take photos of the rapeseed flowers and the old Huizhou-style houses together. 3️⃣ Continue straight from the pavilion, near the foot of the mountain, there are many abandoned Huizhou-style houses that are uninhabited, but the old houses have a special flavor, especially when the gentle sunset shines on them. 🌈✨ Suggested visiting time: You can come around three or four in the afternoon, start by taking pictures of the spring rapeseed flowers at the entrance of the village, then go to the residential area to capture the daily life, and finally to the old houses at the foot of the mountain to watch the sunset slowly fall. Of course, you can also stay in Shiting Village, as there are a few places to stay in the village.
