Yangchan Tulou: A unique tulou complex.

Yangchan Tulou in Shexian County, southern Anhui, has a long history. A Zheng family moved from Henan to Dingtan, northern Shexian, in the Song Dynasty, and then moved to Yangchan in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The village is backed by mountains on three sides, with streams flowing through the valleys. It faces the sun, hence the name "Yang" (meaning "sun" in Chinese). The mountains are steep, hence the name "Chan" (meaning "steep" in Chinese). Therefore, the family named the village "Yangchan." The village is built on the mountain slope, with tulou as the main building. The walls are made of rammed earth with bamboo strips as reinforcement and wooden beams. The walls are thick, warm in winter, and cool in summer. For hundreds of years, the villagers have lived and worked here in peace and contentment. The village is built along the mountain, with winding stone steps and roads. The roof of the lower house is level with the courtyard of the upper house, forming a layered structure. The walls are mostly yellow with white in between, which is unique among the Hui-style buildings with black tiles and white walls in southern Anhui. This is also the reason why travelers are eager to visit. A visit to Yangchan Tulou is definitely worth it.

The ancient houses, narrow alleys, and bluestone roads seemed to take us back to ancient times. Here, time seems to slow down, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. The beauty of the ancient city lies not only in its architecture, but also in its charming natural scenery. I went to the foot of Huangshan Mountain outside the ancient city to enjoy the charming sunrise. The sun rose from the horizon, shining brightly, and the mountains stretched endlessly, creating a breathtaking view. In the afternoon, I took my family to the nearby Qiandao Lake. The lake water was crystal clear, shimmering, and fish swam freely in the water. I sat by the lake, enjoying the cool lake breeze and delicious grilled fish, which was a unique experience. In the evening, I strolled alone in the alleys of the ancient city, listening to the distant bells and watching the sunset slowly fall, feeling a thousand emotions in my heart. The beauty here is not only a gift from nature, but also a sediment of human civilization. This trip to Huizhou Ancient City made me deeply appreciate the unique charm of ancient Huizhou merchant culture, and also gave me a deeper reverence and love for nature.

Shexian County.

I went to Shexian County for a weekend trip. I booked a private car on Trip.com. The itinerary was Yangan Tulou, Xin'an River, Jiusha Village, and then back to the city. I arrived at Shexian North Railway Station in the morning and met the driver there. It took about 40 minutes to drive to Yangan Tulou. It was the weekend, so there were many tourists. The parking lot at the ticket office was full, and most cars were directed to a parking lot about 300 meters away from the ticket office. However, since our driver was a local, he drove us to the visitor center. The round-trip fare for the shuttle bus is CNY 30 per person. We waited in line for about half an hour to get on the 7-seat minibus. I suggest that those who get carsick be prepared. Although the journey only takes 10 minutes, the road is very bumpy, and the driver is very skilled. Although most of the ancient buildings in Yangan Tulou have been preserved, more than 90% of them have been converted into homestays, cafes, and farmhouses. The area is very commercialized. The roads in the scenic area are very narrow and winding, and it's easy to get lost. However, as long as you keep a general sense of direction, you should be fine. It's a little early to visit at this time of year. Although the temperature is very comfortable, the leaves have not yet turned yellow, and the green is not so vibrant. It's a little awkward. However, the weather today was nice. The tulou, mountains, blue sky, and white clouds made for a beautiful view. On the way back down the mountain, we didn't choose to take a boat tour of the Xin'an River Landscape Gallery (which takes 3 to 4 hours and costs CNY 120+ per person). Instead, we went to a small ferry terminal at Jiusha Village. You need to call the ferry from the other side of the river. The round-trip fare is CNY 15 per person. There weren't many people in the village. It was the season for sun-drying crops, so it was a little beautiful, and there weren't many people. In the afternoon, we returned to the city and visited the Huizhou Merchant's Mansion. This mansion is the best and most classic Huizhou mansion I have ever seen. You could say that this mansion encompasses all Huizhou architecture. It's well worth a visit. The ticket is CNY 70, and the guide fee is CNY 50. I highly recommend this attraction. After dark, we went to Shexian Ancient City. You could say that all ancient cities are the same. They are very commercialized. Only a small part of the ancient buildings have been preserved, and most of the others are newly built imitations of Huizhou architecture. Food in Shexian County is quite expensive. Stinky mandarin fish, fermented tofu, salted pork soup, and pork belly are all worth a try.

Jigongjian

Jigongjian in Shangfeng, a hidden gem in Huizhou, is a must-visit for autumn foliage and persimmons. Jigongjian, also known as Jichuan Village, is a 500-year-old village in Shangfeng, Shexian County, just a 20-minute drive from the county seat. Thanks to the soft and fertile weathered granite soil and unique climate, flowers and fruits grow here all year round, earning it the nickname "Land of Flowers and Fruits" in Huangshan. Among them, persimmons are the most famous. Jigongjian persimmons have a long history, dating back to the 15th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Every household in the village has persimmon trees. Every autumn, when the persimmons are harvested, whether eaten fresh or as newly made persimmon cakes, the persimmons here are always worth the trip. As recorded in the Republic of China "Shexian County Chronicle": "The persimmons produced in Jigongjian, Shidu, are the most beautiful, and the method of making persimmon cakes is also good." Therefore, when admiring the autumn colors of Huizhou, people in the surrounding area love to visit Jigongjian. After a winding and colorful mountain road, arriving at the village is like entering a paradise of persimmons. As far as the eye can see, the mountains and fields, white walls, and black tiles are filled with plump and abundant orange-red persimmons. Walking among them, the persimmons hanging on the branches are round and lovely, or you can see strings of persimmon cakes drying in the sun, shining golden. Delicious and visible, they are also a good choice as a souvenir.
