I thought Hongcun was beautiful, until I went to Chengkan, Anhui. I was so obsessed with it that I dreamed of Huizhou! When I came to Anhui, I realized that Jiangnan is not only the small bridges and flowing water of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also the ancient Huizhou villages with continuous green mountains on both sides.
