Hongcun travel guide (graphic)

Hongcun Town, formerly known as Hongcun and Qixia Town, is located in yi county, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. Hongcun, known as the "village in painting", has been listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. Experts say Hongcun is "a rare village with detailed planning in ancient times, and the human landscape and natural landscape complement each other". Chinese and foreign architectural experts call it "a pearl of China tradition" and "a living textbook for studying the history of ancient water conservancy in China". Hongcun has many scenic spots. From south to north, I recommend a classic route: Nanhu-Nanhu Academy-Chengzhitang-Yuenu 'an-Wangshi Ancestral Hall-Shuren Hall-Taoyuanju-Gushu. First, we visited the South Lake. At first glance, the horse-headed wall with blue bricks and tiles is reflected in the clear lake, which makes people feel like they are in a paradise. Then go to Nanhu Academy, and all the way to Taoyuanju are ancient buildings. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from Taoyuanju to the last stop-Red and White Ancient Trees. There are two big trees at the mouth of the ancient village, one is Pterocarya stenoptera and the other is Ginkgo biloba. In ancient times, if an old man died in the village, he would go around the ginkgo tree three times, and if there was a happy event at home, he would go around Fengyang three times. This is also one of the signs of Hongcun. When we go to Hongcun, we can take the high-speed train by plane or drive by car. The nearest airport to Hongcun is Huangshan Airport, and Huangshan North Station is the nearest high-speed railway station to Hongcun. It takes about 1.5 hours by bus to Hongcun. Buses are generally accessible from Huangshan Scenic Area Bus Station or yi county Bus Station. There are hotels and homestays, hotels are generally more expensive, and homestays are mostly around 100. Hongcun cuisine, local famous dishes include stinky mandarin fish, Laba tofu and so on. Snacks include crab shell yellow sesame seed cake, Tan Hong bean curd, Hongcun royal cake and so on. Snack bars can also be seen everywhere in the ancient town. There are many vendors selling baked wheat cakes in the street. For example, there is a big cake shop near the Moon Marsh, and the Melaleuca cake is very distinctive. So don't ask where Hongcun's special snacks are, just follow your mood and eat all the way. Visitors should pay attention to the fact that many small shops in Xidi will sell fake antiques, so be careful when traveling. Basically, many households will run this project. In addition, when traveling to Hongcun, you will often encounter ticket inspection, so you should take your tickets and documents with you.
