The beauty of "Hongcun" Hongcun began with the handsome men and beautiful women who sketched and painted on the shore of Nanhu Lake.

Hongcun was given the third stop of the tour in southern Anhui, which was considered repeatedly.

When traveling in southern Anhui, one is to see the mountains and rivers, and the other is to see the architecture. The Huizhou architecture with white walls, tiles and "three sculptures" is a must. Ancient buildings left behind at the foot of Huangshan Mountain can be described as everywhere, but only Hongcun, known as the "village in Chinese painting", is "where lakes and mountains are in harmony with buildings, and natural landscape and humanistic connotation complement each other".

the beauty of Hongcun lies in the ancient houses of Huizhou School, while the beauty that is unique from other places is its water system. The residential buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, represented by Nanhu Academy, Wang Ancestral Hall, Chengzhi Hall and Shuren Hall, are known as the "Museum of Ancient Residential Architecture", with white walls and tiles, brick and wood stone carvings, stacked floors and high-rise cornices. Guhong Village artificially irrigated the fields for fire prevention, built a stone dam on the creek beside the village, built an artificial canal with stones several meters wide, and introduced a clear water into the village by using the terrain difference to build an artificial water system called "Niuxing Village", which can be called "a unique skill in China": the towering and verdant Leigang Mountain is the "bull's head", the towering ancient trees at the entrance of the village are the "horns", and the scattered Huizhou architecture residential groups in the village are Since then, there has been the most cattle village in China.

With the Moon Marsh and the South Lake, there is the Hongcun in the painting. The water system used by the ancestors for fire-proof irrigation has now become the business card of "the village in Chinese painting". When you come to Hongcun, you stand on the bank of South Lake, but you see old trees and new branches, green and dripping, far from the peak and near the house, falling into the lake, which looks deep and quiet. The blue sky and white clouds, white walls and tiles, sparkling and oblique, the mountain, the water, the wall, the tile, the man and the bridge are reflected in the water, like a silhouette and a splash of ink. Unconsciously, people have been ecstatic and drifted into the painting, but they can't go out anymore.

I gave Hongcun the third stop of my trip to southern Anhui. To be honest, I went to the South Lake. However, when I really came to Hongcun, the first thing that surprised me was not the South Lake, but the handsome men and beautiful women who sketched and painted on the shore of the South Lake!

on the afternoon of April 2th, 221, the car of the travel agency took us to Dieshang Hotel in Tunxi at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and drove straight to the hotel we booked in advance-Hongcun Linhu Hotel. The main reason for choosing the hotel near the lake is that it has its own parking lot and is close to the entrance of the scenic spot (less than 1 meters). Of course, the affordable price should also be considered.

After driving for more than an hour, I arrived at the Lakeside Hotel in Hongcun, settled down and took a rest. At about 5 pm, I arrived at the west entrance of Hongcun Scenic Area and bought tickets to enter the park. Here, it should be noted that there is no need to make an appointment in advance for tickets for scenic spots. Tickets for scenic spots are 14 yuan/person, and online tickets for 94 yuan/person such as Ctrip are valid for three days. During this period, you can enter and leave freely with your tickets and ID cards, which is more convenient.

Check in, walk across a stone bridge, and before reaching the South Lake, you will see many handsome men and beautiful women in groups of three or five, or alone, under trees, beside streams, on roadsides, sketching or splashing ink, attracting many tourists to watch.

On the south bank of Nanhu Lake, there are more paintings and sketches, which almost occupy the whole lake shore.

Most of these young people who sketch from life come from universities all over the country, and their basic skills are very good. I learned from the chat that these students are from Shandong University, and I felt a wave of pride from my heart. I wish the students from my hometown will become "everyone" soon.

On one side, the lake is like a mirror, and the far peak falls into the lake near the house, with white walls and tiles and Shui Ying. On the one hand, under the old trees and new branches, a group of young people with vigor and beauty splashed ink. What a "painting Hongcun", this beautiful landscape formed by handsome men and beautiful women who draw pictures from life makes Hongcun "not awesome"!

painting in the scene, painting in the scene. People are painting, painting people.

The wonderful scenery is so picturesque that I almost walked along the shore of the South Lake to the Painting Bridge. I didn't look at the South Lake that I had long admired, and almost gave all the shots to the young people who painted.
