About going to Shexian County, Anhui Province?

Overview of Huizhou Ancient Village Tourism

If your train has a stop in Shexian, which is the previous stop of Huangshan, then the journey can start from Shexian. If you take a through train to Huangshan, you can take a long-distance bus from downtown Huangshan (also known as Tunxi, which is different from Huangshan Scenic Area) to Shexian County. It only takes more than an hour's drive, and 4 yuan can buy tickets. To get to yi county, you need to transfer to Huangshan City, and the fare is 8 yuan, which takes 2 hours by car.

Shexian Doushan Street and Guo Xu Shi Fang

Because these two scenic spots are famous, I found here first when I arrived in the county. Doushan Street is actually a street in the old city, and Guo Xushi Square is also in the town, so we just walk along the stream of people between them without taking a bus. Guo Xu archway is quite distinctive. It is a three-dimensional archway composed of four sides, which seems to be absent in other places.

In my opinion, the old city is a bit too busy. In fact, it has become the commercial center of the county, equivalent to Wangfujing in Beijing. Of course, the old houses there have many stories like other old houses in Huizhou, but they have lost the tranquility of the ancient town. It's ok to go shopping, but don't have too many illusions.

Tang Yue Gongmen Group

It's very famous here, and the tickets are very expensive, 50 yuan! The scenic spots include a string of archways, an ancestral temple and a very ordinary village. It's worth seeing, but considering the fare, it can only be said that the price/performance ratio is relatively poor.

Late Tang dynasty

Influenced by the Tang Yue archway, I didn't intend to go to Tangmo at first, but at the urging of the motorcycle driver, I decided to visit it. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a village. Tickets to 30 yuan. There is a water street in it, which is the main street of the village and is very artistic. Because there is no business atmosphere, the village maintains the feeling of harmonious old country. I think this is the most worth seeing scenic spot in Shexian County.

Transportation: When you get off at the train station, you can take a three-wheeled motorcycle to the town, that is, weld an iron shed on the back bucket of the three-wheeled motorcycle. Although it is weatherproof, it is deafening to walk on the bumpy road. Shexian county seems to have no other means of transportation to choose from. Fortunately, this kind of motorcycle is very cheap. Within the county, 2 yuan, Doushan Street and Guo Xushifang are all in the county.

Tang Yue Paifang Group is about seven or eight kilometers away from the county seat. You can take the CMB at Huangshan Mountain, let the driver drop you off at the intersection of Tang Yue Paifang Group, and then go in by motorcycle, or go in directly from the county seat by motorcycle. Take a one-way trip to 5 yuan in Shexian Tang Yue Paifang Group, but you must negotiate the round-trip price, because there are few cars at the entrance of the scenic spot, and occasionally you will be killed if you meet one.

Accommodation: There are many hotels in Shexian county, most of which are privately operated, with different conditions, and the off-season price usually ranges from 30 ~ 100 yuan. Ziyang Hotel can be regarded as a designated tourist hotel. If you want to live comfortably, you can consider here. Besides, if those motorcycle drivers want to take you to find a place to live, it is totally unnecessary. All you have to do is ask him to take you to town and find it yourself.

Nanping and Lu Guan in Yixian.

Nanping and Lu Guan are in the same direction, probably because they developed late, and both villages have maintained a good quaint style. In the off-season, except for those who sell tickets at the entrance of the village, there are basically no tourist attractions that are always lively and noisy, just like an ordinary Huinan village, which is quiet and peaceful. You can also see a student tour group in Nanping, but at the foot of Lu Guan, I am the only one strolling in the village, which feels good.

In the past, eight people in Lu Guan Village were actually eight brothers with the same surname. They were a big family. Most of the houses in the village belong to his family. After the land reform, it was distributed to ordinary farmers to live in, and the houses and courtyards were in ruins. However, we can see that many houses are beautiful and the buildings are exquisite, so we can imagine the prosperity of that year. Nanping ticket 20 yuan, Lu Guan ticket 15 yuan.

Hongcun

The feeling of Hongcun is much more lively. Although it is off-season, there are still many tourists in the alley of the village. I don't know what the tourist season will be like. There are also many artists who are born to sketch and photographers to create, and they are all organized. The biggest feature of Hongcun is that there is a lake outside the village, and the scenery is still very beautiful. Although there are many people and a strong business atmosphere, it is still elegant. It's just that the tickets seem a little expensive, 55 yuan.

Wood Carving Architecture and Tachuan

The woodcarving building and Tachuan are not far from Hongcun. The woodcarving building used to be a big house door, so it is called woodcarving building because the woodcarving in the house is extremely exquisite, the outer wall of the house is made of blue bricks, and all the places in the house except the ground are made of wood structures and beautifully carved. In addition, deep relief technology is used in many places. The most distinctive ancient buildings in Huizhou are wood carving, brick carving and stone carving. Although a large number of exquisite woodcarvings can be seen in other ancient villages in Huizhou, it is said that the scale and exquisite craftsmanship like the woodcarving building are unique and worth seeing. Tickets to 28 yuan.

Tachuan started from Hongcun and walked along a dirt road, about two or three kilometers away. The scenery in Tachuan is extremely beautiful, especially in autumn. Trees, terraces and Huizhou-style small mountain villages form a colorful, beautiful and harmonious picture in the bright sunshine. The tourists I see here are all photographers carrying various cameras, lenses and tripods. If you like photography, you can destroy a lot of film here.

Xielihe mukeng

These are the two places I didn't go to because there was not enough time. But the reason why I haven't been to places is because the hotel owner I live in strongly recommends these two places, and I think they should be listed. These two places are both natural scenery, which is said to have attracted countless photographers. Shelley is called the "color world". Every autumn, all kinds of plants and terraces are colorful. Mukeng is a large bamboo sea, which is the kind of bamboo sea where Chow Yun Fat flies on bamboo shoots in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Both places can start from Hongcun, but the distance is far, and there is no ready-made car to go, so you can only charter a car.

Xidi

Xidi is not in the same direction as Nanping and Lu Guan. Because of time, I didn't go to Xidi either. However, due to Xidi's great reputation, it should also be explained here. Xidi's style is also a small bridge. It is said that Xidi, due to its early development, has the strongest commercial atmosphere among all the scenic spots in yi county. Others say that Hongcun and Xidi are similar in style, so they go to one. Xidi's ticket is also very expensive, and it is also 55 yuan. The above is just hearsay, please judge for yourself the truth.

Transportation: Yixian county is small and there is nothing to play. If you walk in the county seat, you can take a three-wheeled motorcycle, and the price is also within 2 yuan. However, the scenic spots in Yixian County are far from the county seat, and the main means of transportation here is a van, both of which are private cars. From the county seat to all scenic spots, you can take this bus to the long-distance bus station. If you want to go to some distant scenic spots, you can bargain more when the car is less than 100 yuan a day in the off-season.

To Nanping, you can take a bus to Xiwu Township, get off halfway and take a dirt road about one kilometer. Of course, if there are not many people in the car, you can also ask the driver to take you directly to Nanping Village, and the driver will generally agree. Lu Guan and Nanping are on the same line, but there are few buses to Lu Guan, so we can walk from Nanping to Lu Guan, about 4 kilometers, 1 hour. From Lu Guan to the county seat, you can wait at the gate of Lu Guan Village. If it's not too late, you can usually wait for the bus to the county seat within 1 hour, and get a ride to the county seat for two or three yuan.

There is a long-distance station from CMB to Xidi. To Hongcun, you need to get on a bridge next to the county long-distance station. Cars to Hongcun are all pulled here, and it costs 2 yuan to go to Hongcun. Get on the bus at the long-distance station in Xidi Village, and there is a minibus to go. Hongcun and Xidi are both developed earlier, and there are many cars returning to the county seat at the entrance of the village. Tachuan and Woodcarving Building are both near Hongcun, so you can take a ride and walk there. Shelly and Mukeng are far from the village, so it seems that they can only go by chartered bus.

Accommodation: There are many private hotels in Yixian, so you can go to the county seat and find them yourself without introduction. In addition, there is a midtown villa from the county seat to Nanping. The conditions are good. If you want a better life, you can live here. Accommodation in off-season is relatively cheap, most private hotels are in 50 yuan, and the standard rooms of better hotels will not exceed 150 yuan every day at most.

Hongcun also has many hotels to stay in, and the price is similar to that of the county seat. It feels better to live here.
