In this ancient town in Anhui, I found the utopia in my heart

"Swim through Chengkan, then one's life will be without obstacles." Before climbing Mount Huangshan, I decided on a whim to stay in Chengkan for a day to rest my feet I didn't expect this niche ancient village to be such a pleasant surprise - Up close, white walls and black tiles, small bridges over flowing water In the distance, clouds winding around mountain peaks, flocks of birds flying past White fluff floating on green water, red lotus paddles stirring the clear waves In the lotus pond, big white geese are swimming in an orderly manner The utopia depicted in ancient poetry is probably just like this scene - 🌿Address: Chengkan Village, Baolun Road, Huizhou District 🎫Ticket: Online 102/1 person (staying in a guesthouse outside the scenic area is 95/1 person) 🫱3 days unlimited entry and exit 🚕Transport: About 50 yuan by Didi from Huangshan North Station, around 25 minutes to reach 🚌Take bus 17 to the town, walk a few hundred meters to reach the scenic area (but this bus only runs once an hour, it was after 7 pm when I left the station, and there were no more buses for the day) - ✅Travel Tips ❶Upon entering the ancient town, you will find the alleys complex and intertwined, this place is called Bagua Village, if you encounter locals who want to be your guide, it might be worth spending 20 yuan for her to show you around while introducing the place ❷There is almost no external commerce in the scenic area, even the wooden crafts are made by master craftsmen inside, the snacks you encounter everywhere are not expensive, and you can buy with confidence, they are all made with fresh local ingredients ❸Yongxing Lake is the essence of the ancient town, with beautiful scenery, and you might encounter big white geese. There are small bridges and lotus leaves in the lake, and white-walled and black-tiled houses on the shore, with clouds winding around the distant mountain peaks, this is the most artistic and photogenic spot in the ancient town ❹It's the season for sun-curing harvest, the Sun-curing Square is especially lively, and you must go to feel the atmosphere ❺Next to the Sun-curing Square is Wang Yitiao's wontons, which was once featured in the show 'Idol Came', and the taste is really good, it's very comforting to have a bowl of wontons after a long walk -
