Yangchan Tulou is located in Shendu Town, in the southern mountainous area of Anhui. Yangchan, nestled among the mountains of southern Anhui, is a small mountain hamlet built along the slopes. Due to its high elevation and inconvenient transportation, for hundreds of years, the mountain people have used local materials, paving roads and building bridges with nearby bluestone, and constructing nests with red soil and timber to dwell in. They work from sunrise to sunset, drink from mountain springs when thirsty, eat grains when hungry, grow a variety of crops, and continue their lineage. Over the years, this has resulted in a spectacular group of earthen buildings that are densely packed and orderly, simple yet magnificent.

Located in Yangchan Village, Shendu Town, Shexian County, Huangshan City, it is an ancient village with a long history. It is the residence of the Zheng family. The Zheng family moved from the north of She during the Song Dynasty and settled in Tan, then moved to Yangchan, which is the later generation of Zheng Banzhou. According to historical records, Zheng Gong hunted in Yangchan, followed the hunting dog to lie in the concave of Yangchan Mountain and did not want to return. Zheng Gong saw that it was surrounded by mountains, with clear mountain springs and towering ancient trees. After several inspections, he thought it was a geomantic treasure land and decided to move to Yangchan, hence the later Yangchan Tulou Village. I have been to Yangchan many times, this is the fourth time. The first two times I stayed there for a few days, but then I didn't stay because there were special cars to pick up and drop off the mountain, and tourists came in a stream, took a look and left. Staying overnight to watch the sunrise and sunset is no longer of much significance, and it is no longer eye-catching to participate in the competition. Instead, it is a good place to travel, and travel agencies have one more project. However, the Huizhou Yangchan Tulou architectural complex is another wonder of Huizhou architecture. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Huizhou mountain people, a strange mix of backward productivity and high civilization, and the palace of oriental rammed earth architectural culture and art. It would be a regret not to visit in this life, and it is worth coming here to experience the influence of the palace of art.

Yangchan Tulou is an ancient village with a long history nestled in the mountains of southern Anhui. Due to its high elevation and inconvenient transportation, for hundreds of years, the mountain people have used local materials to build houses, creating a spectacular and rustic cluster of earthen buildings that are neatly arranged and harmoniously scattered. Unlike Hongcun and Xidi, there are no horse-head walls, no carved lattice windows, and no whitewashed walls with black tiles. Whether it's a single tulou or the entire village cluster, they are all made of earthen walls. As the outside world embraces nature and returns to simplicity, among the many Hui-style architectural villages, this place has become a unique landscape. Here, one can enjoy the most beautiful mountain sunsets, and with some luck in the morning, there may also be a sea of misty clouds, resembling a village above the clouds. In spring, there are rapeseed flowers; in autumn, there is the sun-drying of harvests; and in winter, when it's cold, there's also the snowscape. It's a pity that on this trip, I only witnessed the most beautiful sunset. Yangchan Tulou

Yangchan Earth Building The last stop of the trip to the ancient village at the foot of Huangshan. After seeing the Huizhou-style architecture for a few days, I was a bit aesthetically tired. The earth building in Yangchan was really a surprise. Transportation: Direct navigation to Yangchan Earth Building, the road to Yangchan is not easy to drive, and finally through a section of mountain road, it seems to be under construction, dusty, and the distance of the car is also a bit thrilling. The car cannot be driven to the entrance of the village. It will be changed to the village's shuttle bus at the visitor center halfway up the mountain. The round trip is 20 yuan (no additional tickets are charged in the village) Scenery: It is hard to imagine that there will be such a different earth building area from the Huizhou-style architecture on such a mountain top. The yellow walls and black roofs match the colors of the entire autumn. It is recommended to spend some money to hire a tour guide aunt who solicits customers at the entrance of the village. She will take you through the ups and downs of the mountain road, pass through various earth buildings, and tell you some old stories in the village. By the way, there are also autumn drying points in the village. If you think Wuyuan is too crowded, you can go and see. Catering and accommodation: There are many farmhouses in the village. The food is basically ordinary Huizhou cuisine, and the price is average. Because it is a photography spot, many photography enthusiasts will choose to stay in the village for one night, take a picture of the morning mist in the early morning, but the accommodation conditions are limited
