A Fairytale Journey to Hongcun: Step into a Thousand-Year-Old Painting!

Friends, Hongcun, the most beautiful ancient village in southern Anhui, certified by National Geographic, is absolutely stunning! Stepping into Hongcun is like diving into a flowing ink painting. Every corner is a perfect photo opportunity, captivating your heart with every glance! Route Guide: Scenic Views at Every Turn Starting from the entrance, the first sight that greets you is the vast, clear water of South Lake, with the South Lake Academy standing quietly by, exuding an ancient charm. Then, stroll to Moon Pond, a real-life "mirror of the sky." Don't miss Chengzhi Hall, the "Forbidden City of the People"—its magnificence can only be truly appreciated in person! Convenient Transportation, Easy Access Self-driving is super convenient for those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! If you're taking the high-speed train, you can reach Hongcun directly by taxi or bus from Yi County Station, so no need to worry about transportation. Beauty in All Seasons In spring and summer, canola flowers bloom freely amidst the misty rain. In autumn, yellow leaves adorn the branches, creating a serene and beautiful scene. In winter, Hongcun transforms into a dreamlike wonderland after a snowfall. Each season offers unique beauty, making it a worthwhile visit anytime! A Photographer's Paradise The small bridge on South Lake is a filming location for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Take a photo on the bridge, and you'll instantly create a masterpiece. The half-moon lake of Moon Pond is the perfect backdrop for ancient-style photos. Dress up in traditional clothing, and any shot will light up your social media! Foodie Adventures: Huizhou Cuisine Stinky mandarin fish smells stinky but tastes delicious—a must-try in Huizhou! Hairy tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a unique texture. There's also Huangshan sesame seed cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine—every bite is an authentic taste of Huizhou, and you won't be able to stop! Accommodation Options: Choose Your Style For an immersive experience of Hongcun's beauty, stay inside the scenic area. Open your window in the morning, and the ink-painting-like scenery will be right before your eyes. If you're looking for value, guesthouses outside the scenic area are also a great option, offering convenient transportation and affordable prices. Nearby Attractions: Endless Surprises Chengkan Village, Bi Shan Bookstore, and Tunxi Old Street are all nearby. You can visit multiple amazing attractions in one trip, doubling the fun! Friends, save this guide and come to Hongcun for a journey through a thousand years of ink painting beauty!
