Hongquanjing Village

When visiting Hongcun, you must not miss the scenery of the whole village. There are two places to enjoy it. One is Leigang Mountain behind Chengzhitang, but the mountain is not high enough and is blocked, so the shooting effect is average. The other is an inn called Photography House at the entrance of the village. It costs 10 yuan per person for non-staying guests to take photos on the roof. The viewing platform of this inn is in an excellent location. If you catch the sunset, you will see the stunning panoramic sunset in Hongcun.

Nanhu is located in the south of Hongcun. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and imitated the style of West Lake Pinghu Qiuyue.

4. Bishan Village

Bishan Village is only a few miles away from Yixian County. There are scenic spots such as Hongcun and Xidi in the surrounding area. Perhaps it is the light from these places that blocks Bishan, making it happy that it is "hidden in the city". The biggest feature of Bishan Village is that it has not been developed and has few tourists. It has relatively maintained its farming civilization, natural ecology and simple folk customs.

After Bishan Bookstore, the eighth branch of Nanjing Online Celebrity Bookstore of Pioneer Bookstore, was established here, many people began to come here because of its reputation. This small mountain village that grew up in a boudoir finally appeared in people's sight. . Here, you can hold an ancient book, drink a pot of Huangshan tea, and eat some Anhui ink cakes provided by the bookstore. The years seem to be still there.

The ancient city of Huizhou, and It was called the ancient city of Shexian County and Xin'an County in ancient times. This ancient city was built in the Qin Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been the seat of Hui county, state and government. Therefore, the county and government are in the same city, forming a unique city-to-city style. The ancient city of Huizhou is the birthplace of Huizhou Studies, one of the three major local schools of thought in China.

Guoxu Stone Square, also known as University Square. The only archway in China is a building built by feudal society to express merit, integrity, loyalty and filial piety. It is the carrier that best interprets ancient Chinese history and culture.

Tips:

I have been lucky enough to visit three of the four legendary ancient cities in China, but personally I think the ancient city of Huizhou is the least worthy. The planning and management are relatively chaotic, the internal preservation of the scenic spot is also imperfect, and the price/performance ratio is low compared to the more expensive tickets. I can only say that the overall recommendation is average, and different people have different opinions.

3. Shitan Village

Shitan Village, located in the south of She County, a famous historical and cultural city in China, is one of the top 100 photography bases in Huangshan. The further away from Shitan Village, the better and more interesting the scenery becomes. There is only a narrow road connecting this village to that village. Spring is here, and rapeseed flowers and pear blossoms are blooming everywhere. This is a real paradise. And due to the inconvenient transportation and fewer tourists, it is a good place for photography and sketching.

Transportation: Take the minibus bound for Xiakeng Town from Shexian Bus Station. The fare is 6 yuan. After arriving at Xiakeng, transfer to Shitan Village for 2 yuan.

Accommodation: There are many families in Shitan Village that provide accommodation services. The cost is about 100 yuan a day, including three meals. The surrounding accommodation conditions are average.

Tunxi District

Tunxi Old Street is located at the intersection of Hengjiang River, Lushui River and Xin'an River, so it is also known as the flowing "Riverside Scene during Qingming Festival". It is the most complete ancient market in China with the architectural styles of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

2.

Liyangli

The Lilong Scenic Area is mainly composed of three major blocks: the Binjiang Bar Leisure Block, the Special Food Block, and the Anhui Culture Experience Block.
