Nanping, an ancient village in Huizhou, has probably all originated from several TV dramas in modern times. 80% of the shots in 'Chrysanthemum Bean' were completed in Ye's Ancestral Hall (Xuyi Hall). And all the indoor scenes in the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' were filmed in Ye's branch hall next door. Compared with the heavily commercialized Hongcun, Nanping is still inhabited by many locals, but like many rural areas in China, the village is mostly left-behind elderly people. They guard the ancestral homes left by their ancestors, work in this picturesque landscape, remember the merits of their ancestors in their hearts, but cannot continue the glory of their ancestors.

Among Anhui's ancient villages, Hongcun and Xidi are famous and crowded with tourists. But there's a low-key ancient village, unadorned, serene, and exuding a unique charm: Nanping. Nanping was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the wheels of time have left deep marks here. The village's 8 solemn ancestral halls carry the family's glory and heritage; 36 wells nourish generations of villagers; 72 ancient alleys wind like a maze; and over 300 Ming and Qing dynasty houses stand in perfect harmony, each brick and tile telling stories of the past. It's known as the "Chinese Ancestral Hall Architecture Museum." Famous films like "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were filmed here, adding a veil of mystery. Compared to Hongcun and Xidi, Nanping has far fewer tourists. Backed by green mountains, with smoke curling from chimneys, Hui-style ancient buildings stand side by side, and alleys crisscross, creating a secluded paradise far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Walking here feels like traveling back in time to a simple and tranquil era. Travel Guide - By car: Navigate to the northwest gate parking lot of Nanping Scenic Area for easy access. - Public transport: Take a taxi from Yixian East Station to Nanping, which takes about 30 mins. If you're not staying overnight, be mindful of the return time and avoid returning too late, as taxis are harder to find at night. - Tickets: Free entry, easily start your exploration. Tour Route Enter from the northwest gate and explore Nanping Ancient Village: Xiyuan Bridge > Ye Family Ancestral Hall > Shangsu Hall > Shansi Hall > Ju Dou Pharmacy > Step by Step Alley > Carved Hall > Fortune Alley > Sanyuan Well > Hengde Hall > Wansong Pavilion > Small Western-style Building > Bingling Pavilion > Cheng Family Ancestral Hall > Li Family Ancestral Hall > Parking Lot. This route is a loop, but the village has many alleys, and even with signs, it's easy to get lost. So, stick to the loop and remember your way back when exploring the alleys. Recommended Attractions - Ye Family Ancestral Hall: Also known as Xuzhi Hall, built during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. 80% of "Ju Dou" was filmed here, and it retains its original appearance. Standing inside, you can almost visualize scenes from the film. - Ye Family Branch Ancestral Hall: Also known as Kuiguang Hall, it's the interior filming location for the security escort agency in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The ancient architectural style evokes the boldness and vicissitudes of the martial arts world. - Muxian Hall: Once a place for scholars to teach, with a portrait of Confucius inside. The courtyard layout resembles a Suzhou garden, complete with pavilions, corridors, and "beauty railings," exuding a scholarly atmosphere. - Bingling Pavilion: Built in the mid-Qing Dynasty, it consists of a main hall, side hall, and corridor. The overall layout is similar to a northern courtyard house, showcasing a blend of north-south architectural styles. - Xiaosi Building (Small Western-style Building): A blend of Chinese and Western architecture from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The rooftop offers the best view of the entire village. - Step by Step Alley: The longest and most layered of the 72 alleys, it ends with 23 steps, each higher than the last, symbolizing rising step by step. Walking here, you can almost feel this auspicious meaning. - Shansi Hall: This house faces east, with two entrances and three-bay corridors. The interior is a typical Hui-style residential setting. The large, gold "Shansi Hall" calligraphy on the black lacquer plaque above is powerful and highlights the historical depth of this ancient house. Visit Nanping, experience its tranquility and antiquity, explore the stories hidden in the depths of time, and embark on a unique ancient village journey.

Nanping Village is located in Biyang Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. It is one of the first traditional Chinese villages. Nanping Village was formerly known as Ye Village. Later, it was renamed Nanping because the village is backed by Nanping Mountain, which acts like a barrier. The history of Nanping Village can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Ye family moved from Baimashan in Qimen in the late Yuan Dynasty, the village began to expand rapidly. During the Ming Dynasty, a pattern was formed in which the three major clans of Ye, Cheng and Li gathered together and ruled separately. Especially after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Nanping Village entered its heyday due to the mutual comparison and competition among the three major surnames.

🌟Highlights: Nanping Ancient Town - A village with deep alleys, ancestral halls, and ancient residences marked by the passage of time, made famous by the films 'Ju Dou' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' which were shot here. The village has nearly 300 ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, 36 wells, and 72 alleys. Along the main axis of the village, which stretches over 200 meters from the head to the tail, there are still several ancestral halls and a 500+ year-old camphor tree. ❤Recommended Reasons: If you like tranquility, you must come here. There are very few tourists, and even fewer stay overnight. Unlike Hongcun, it is not commercialized, and there are no guides like in Chengkan. You can leisurely stroll through the ink-washed Huizhou-style buildings with white walls and black tiles, feeling very comfortable. ✅Must Experience: Perfect Photo Spot - The rooftop of Xiaoyanglou Inn, 10 yuan per person, offers a view of the entire village's architecture, distant rice fields, and green mountains. The window frames create a perfect composition for photos. 💰Cost: Free admission in 2024 📝Tips: 1⃣️Cars cannot enter the village and must be parked at the village entrance parking lot. 2⃣️Nanping Ancient Town is 1 hour from Huangshan Scenic Area and 20 minutes from Hongcun.

Nanping Ancient Town | A little-known secret realm of ancient Huizhou villages, the 'ceiling' of Huizhou villages.||| I would really be sad if I came to Anhui and didn't visit Nanping Ancient Town. Why is Nanping Ancient Town called the 'ceiling' of Huizhou villages? ▫️ Few people Because of the fame of Hongcun, many tourists overlook this treasure of an ancient town. When you wander through the deserted ancient alleys, a sense of atmosphere naturally arises. Less noise from crowds and less congestion from people. More of the heartbeat of the buildings and the breath of nature. You can have a unique and deeper experience. ▫️ Architecture Nanping Ancient Town is a thousand-year-old village with a grand scale. It has nearly three hundred ancient Ming and Qing buildings, most notably a group of ancestral halls. Eight ancestral halls of considerable size are well-preserved, including clan halls, branch halls, and family halls. It is known as the 'Museum of Ancient Chinese Ancestral Hall Architecture.' The architectural carvings are exquisite, the scale is grand, mysterious, and unique. ▫️ Scenery Nanping Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains. From the ancient alleys, the distant mountains and forests are clearly visible, just like a beautifully exquisite ink painting. I recommend visiting Nanping Ancient Town on rainy days.

Speaking of Anhui, the first thing that comes to mind for most people might be the Yellow Mountains and Hongcun, but in fact, besides the high mountains⛰️ and Huizhou-style ancient architecture, there is also the city of Huangshan, which is worth exploring for its beauty. Today, let me introduce you to Nanping in Yixian County of Huangshan City, where the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the scenery is as beautiful and enchanting as an oil painting. In my view, the white clouds of Yixian County are as soft and delicate as cotton candy, which is the most attractive part to me. Walking further in, you'll encounter a dye workshop. As a traditional dye house, its unique and mysterious charm is enhanced by its location next to the mountains and water. I dyed a bag, just like the green mountains and clear waters, and the feeling of hand-dyeing is just different. When the rapeseed flowers bloom this year, I must go and see the scenery of Nanping again~

Nanping Ancient Village in Yixian County is a thousand-year-old village. Most ancient villages in Huizhou are inhabited by only one family. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were three major surnames living in Nanping. Therefore, there were more than a thousand people in the village, but there were 36 wells, 72 ancient alleys, more than 300 ancient houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and several ancestral halls of considerable size. , branch temples and family temples are full of attractions. Nowadays, Nanping is not as famous as Xidi and Hongcun in the county. This trip to Nanping on a rainy day allowed me to take pictures of the real New Year atmosphere. While eating at a farmhouse in the scenic area, the old couple were eating peaches (similar to local rice cakes). They took pictures of the entire production process and participated in it. We eat at the large round table in the main hall. The dishes are authentic Huizhou farm dishes, including local chicken soup, stinky mandarin fish, braised pig's trotters with dried prunes, etc. Even the rice is cooked on a wood-fired stove with a rice cooker. There is also an old-fashioned fire seat modified from a wooden bathtub in the main hall. These are the most authentic appearance of Huizhou people. In the ancestral hall in the scenic spot, a New Year stamp collection activity was also found. The stamp album has 8 point stamps and a combined stamp, which are distributed in different ancient villages in Yixian County. The Nanping spot is in the Ye family ancestral hall.

Touring Anhui, there are endless Hui-style buildings to see. Regarding the construction of houses and the design of water systems, when I went to Nanping Village, which is also a film and television base, I felt that the water system was not as good as Hongcun, and it seemed a little less spiritual. However, it doesn't matter, the ancient buildings here are more than Hongcun, and the commercial flavor is not so strong, which is quite good. During the tour, Dad Ze took a fancy to a private house from the Jiaqing period. The boss enthusiastically said that we could dine at her place, so the whole family had a meal in a house with a history of hundreds of years, and I felt like I had traveled through time. The water of Taohua Tan is a thousand feet deep, but it can't compare to the affection Wang Lun gave me.

Nanping Nanping Village, about ten kilometers away from Hongcun. The film 'Ju Dou', directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li, was shot here in the 80s, and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' was also filmed here, but now there are not many traces of the film city in the village. In the off-season afternoon, I was the only tourist. There is a large open field between the ticket inspection entrance and the entrance to the village, which looks sparse and desolate under the winter sky. Along the stone path in the field, through the stone bridge at the end of the road, you officially enter the village. The streets and lanes of Nanping are generally narrower and more winding than those of Hongcun and Xidi, and moss is everywhere on the walls and by the water channels, you can imagine how damp it is here in the rainy season of summer.

It's my first time here, because I previously felt that the 43 yuan ticket was not worth it. But this year, since there's no admission fee, I decided to make a trip here ! The ancient village is not big, and after walking around, it feels similar to other ancient villages. The parking fee is 7 yuan, a strange amount.
