Lu Village

Lu Village is the essence of Huizhou-style architecture. It is the place to watch the rising sun slowly pierce through the morning mist and shine on the village full of stories. It is the ultimate Chinese beauty of white walls and gray tiles hidden among the brilliant rapeseed flowers in spring. The autumn scenery in Jiangnan is not as magnificent as in the north, just like their food, which is not as exciting, but needs to be savored slowly. The wood carvings in Lu Village are the best in Jiangnan, combining various techniques such as shallow carving, deep carving, and hollow carving, and are extremely luxurious and exquisite. It is said that a rich businessman named Lu Baiwan donated money to the government and built a courtyard for his wives. Each one is very exquisite, but the most exquisite one is the Zhicheng Hall where his first wife lived. It is ironic that it is called "Zhicheng Hall" (meaning "loyalty"), but he married one wife after another. If you go to Hongcun, don't miss Lu Village.
