When is the best time to travel in Hongcun?

The best time to travel in Hongcun is spring, summer and autumn every year.

But try to avoid the "Meiyu" season. Hongcun is also mild in summer, with an average temperature of about 25℃ and a suitable temperature. These three seasons have their own beautiful scenery. Every year from the end of March to the beginning of April, large tracts of rape flowers bloom all over Hongcun, and the pale yellow flowers are bustling, accompanied by green mountains and clear waters, like a vibrant oil painting. Every November, the autumn is crisp. At this time, when you visit the red leaves in Tachuan, you can just feel the artistic conception of "parking in the maple forest late, frosty leaves are red in February flowers" in Tang poetry. In summer, the bamboo sea in Mukeng is particularly worth seeing, but it is best to avoid April and May, when the bamboo leaves change greatly, and the bamboo leaves are not strong enough and dense, and the green and yellow are not connected. Hongcun not only has the wild interest of mountains and forests, but also has the characteristics of water towns. Every household in the village is connected by water, with small bridges and flowing water. Seeing the clear spring flowing, the lakes and mountains contrast with the courtyard in southern Anhui, which has a unique charm.

The location, layout and beautiful scenery of Hongcun Town are directly related to water, and it is an ancient village that has been carefully planned. The planning and design of artificial water system inside and outside the village is quite exquisite and ingenious. Experts said that Hongcun is one of the few ancient villages with detailed planning in the world, and the human landscape and natural landscape complement each other. Known as a pearl of China tradition by Chinese and foreign architectural experts, it is a living teaching material for studying the history of ancient water conservancy in China.
