Fond of Huizhou with its white walls and black tiles - documenting those Huizhou-style architectures on the journey

Horse-head walls, carved windows, white walls and black tiles express love for Huizhou. Under the ancient camphor tree, beside the stone bridge, the nostalgia in dreams resides in Wuyuan. When it comes to Huizhou-style architecture, I can't help but conjure up such an image in my mind: under the stone archway is a bluestone path, rows of horse-head walls form unique lines amidst the flying eaves and flowing corners, the dripping water in the small courtyard falls drop by drop beside the stone mortar, and outside the lattice window, a woman in plain clothes sits by the pond reading a book. Yes, this is the impression of Huizhou. Huizhou-style architecture is also on the recommended list of National Geographic. Huizhou-style buildings are mostly courtyard-style, facing south with a north orientation, with a layout distributed along a central axis, rooms on both sides, and a hall in the front with a skylight for lighting. Archways, residential houses, and ancestral halls are the three main features of Huizhou-style architecture. Huizhou-style architecture is not only rich in ancient and bright artistic style but also practical. For example, the function of the horse-head wall is to prevent fire, and the small courtyard is for gathering wind and energy.
