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.

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.
