🏞️Hongcun – A Hidden Beauty I Fell in Love With Not many Vietnamese travelers talk about Hongcun, but I completely fell for it. This ancient village is full of quiet charm — tiny alleys, stone bridges, and peaceful canals that wind through time. I loved getting lost in the narrow corners, walking along the mossy paths by the water, and spotting the little details on the old walls and rooftops. There’s something so gentle and poetic about Hongcun. It doesn’t try to impress — it just is, and that’s what makes it unforgettable. 🐾🏯
