Ink-splashed landscapes | Encountering the poetic time of Hongcun

| Encounter the poetic time of Hongcun. Ink-splashed landscapes | Encountering the poetic time of Hongcun "The most fascinating place in my life is Huizhou, where I never dream of going." Stepping into Hongcun is like walking into a slowly unfolding ink painting, with the thousand-year-old Huizhou charm flowing quietly between the pink walls and black tiles. 🌳Ox-shaped village, harmony between nature and man Hongcun was first built during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has a history of more than 800 years. Its layout is like a cow lying leisurely. Leigang Mountain is the cow's head, the two ancient trees at the entrance of the village are the cow's horns, Yuezhao is the cow's stomach, Nanhu is like a cow's tripe, the canal is like a winding cow's intestine, the residential houses form the cow's body, and the four ancient bridges are like cow's feet. Here, people and nature coexist harmoniously, and every detail demonstrates the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients. 🏞️The beautiful scenery of Nanhu Lake is picturesque In the early morning light, Nanhu Lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the Hui-style buildings, lush ancient trees, blue sky and white clouds on the shore. Strolling along the lake, the breeze blows on your face, the lake water ripples, and from time to time you can see students sketching, adding a touch of youthful color to this quaint picture. 🌙The night view of Moon Pond is peaceful and tranquil Yuezhao is crescent-shaped, and the clear water reflects the flying eaves and brackets of the ancient house. As night falls and the lights come on, the outline of the ancient house becomes clearer under the light, and the reflection in the water is dreamy, as if time has gone back, making people intoxicated in this quiet night. 🏯Chengzhi Hall, a treasure of wood carving Chengzhi Hall, known as the "Folk Forbidden City", is the essence of Hongcun architecture. Walking into it, you will be dazzled by the exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings and brick carvings. Each carving is lifelike, telling the prosperity and stories of the past, making people admire the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. 🍲Anhui cuisine, a feast for your tongue The cuisine of Hongcun is also unique. The Huangshan sesame cake has a crispy outer skin and delicious filling. Take a bite and the aroma of pickled mustard greens spreads on your tongue. There is also the stinky mandarin fish, which smells stinky but tastes delicious, with tender and firm meat, and every bite is authentic Anhui flavor. Then try the hairy tofu, the fluff on the surface forms a thin and crispy outer skin after frying, and the inside is soft, and paired with a special sauce, it has a unique flavor. 💡Tips for playing: 🎫Tickets can be purchased online in advance, saving time queuing; 🌄Get up early and go to Nanhu Lake and Yuezhao to avoid the crowds and take beautiful photos; 🏠Live in a homestay in Hongcun and feel the tranquility of the ancient village at night; 👂Hiring a tour guide can help you better understand the history and culture of Hongcun. Hongcun is a poetic journey spanning thousands of years. Every scene tells the story of time, and every breath is filled with the fragrance of Huiyun. Come here and experience an unforgettable ink painting time💕
