Traveling to Huangshan, why do many people go to Hongcun instead of Xidi?

First of all, I think Hongcun is more famous than Xidi, and Hongcun's propaganda is also greater than Xidi. Many people only know that there is Hongcun next to Huangshan Mountain, but they don't know that there is Xidi. Including the authentic Huizhou architecture we mentioned, many people's first reaction is Hongcun, not Xidi. Hongcun has represented the characteristic buildings in Anhui to some extent. It is precisely because of the lack of popularity that many people come to Huangshan to go to Hongcun instead of Xidi.

Secondly, the similarity between these two villages is relatively high, and they are both traditional Huizhou architecture. If ordinary tourists go to Hongcun, there is no need to go to Xidi, and Hongcun is more famous than Xidi, so most people choose places with higher popularity and better reputation, so few people go to Hongcun instead of Xidi, and there is no need to spend more money to feel the same thing.

Third, Hongcun and Xidi are far away, with many Huangshan mountain roads and complex terrain, so it is not so convenient to go by car. If you go to Hongcun and then Xidi, there will be more roads, and it is not so convenient to go directly. Because of the distance, many people will only choose one of the two places to go. If two people go, they will re-plan the car, time and money. For those who pursue convenient travel, it's too much trouble. Just choose a representative one to visit and learn about it.

Although Hongcun and Xidi villages are similar, if you have time and energy, you can still go to both places. After all, Xidi is not as famous as Hongcun, and the number of tourists will be less. Maybe you can get a different travel experience there.
