There is such a beautiful place in Anhui.📍Longchuan Scenic Area, Jixi County, Anhui 📍: Jixi Longchuan Ancient Town Bus🚌North Bus Station→Longchuan Scenic Area (Tickets required) I'm growing fonder of immersing myself in nature, emptying my mind. Venturing out, yet I find myself walking back to me. Anxious and troubled, perhaps there's no walking out of the answers. But there will always be a breeze that scatters the excess emotions. Walk slowly, look slowly, let go of the anxious state. Some say what's so fun about an ancient town, such a tiny place and the tickets aren't worth it. I say it depends on what you consider fun, I just want that relaxed state to stroll around, see the small bridges and flowing water, watch the elderly sit leisurely, observe the traces of time on the buildings, see the worldly life, so I think it's fun. Just walk at your own pace.

5A Longchuan Scenic Area|||The Longchuan Scenic Area in Jixi, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction officially approved by the National Tourism Administration. It is located in Longchuan Village, Jixi County, southern Anhui, and is an ancient village where the Hu family has lived together for a thousand years. Longchuan Village is an ancient village with a history of more than 1600 years. Originally, this place was a barren river beach overgrown with Vitex trees and was known as Jinglinli because it was rich in golden (Vitex) honey. In 318 AD, Hu Yan, with the title of Sanqi Changshi, led troops to guard Shezhou. In the third year of Xiankang (337 AD), Hu Yan traveled from Huayang Town and came here. Seeing the terrain with 'Dragon Peak rising to the east, Cock's Comb standing to the west, Celestial Horse galloping up from the south, and the long stream (Dengyuan River) meandering from the north,' he admired the beautiful mountains and waters and settled in Jinglinli at the mouth of Longchuan with his clan (from 'Longchuan Hu Family Genealogy'). Thus, Hu Yan became the ancestor of the Longchuan Hu family. In the second year of Yongtai of the Tang Dynasty (766 AD), Jixi County was established from the division of She County's Huayang Town, and Longchuan was part of it. Throughout the dynasties, the affiliation of Huizhou Prefecture and Jixi County often changed, but Longchuan always belonged to it. The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of Longchuan Village's development. The village had a large population, a prosperous economy, and placed great emphasis on the imperial examinations, becoming the famous 'Jinshi Village.' More than ten people from the village became Jinshi, among whom the most famous were Hu Fu, who became the Jinshi in the 14th year of the Chenghua period (1478 AD) and rose to the positions of Taizi Shaobao and Nanjing Minister of the Household, and Hu Zongxian, who became Jinshi 60 years later in the 17th year of the Jiajing period (1538 AD) and rose to the positions of Taizi Taibao and Minister of the Military Department. During the prosperous Ming Dynasty, the village's architecture had already covered the entire range of Longchuan's 'boat-shaped village.' Since the Qing Dynasty, Longchuan gradually declined. The villagers' official careers were no longer as prominent as in the Ming Dynasty, the population slowly decreased, many buildings gradually collapsed, and the range of village buildings also gradually shrank from the entire boat-shaped village to mainly the settlements north of the Longchuan River. Entering the new century, the People's Government of Jixi County, in accordance with the national and provincial government's documents and regulations on the protection of historical and cultural cities, formulated a 'protection plan' for Longchuan Village centered around Longchuan Water Street. The plan combines the protection of the water street and the history of the ancient village with the social and economic development, village infrastructure construction, and improvement of residents' living conditions, to adapt to the development of a well-off society and the tourism industry.

China's Longchuan, located 11 kilometers east of Jixi County in Anhui Province, is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and a provincial scenic spot. It is the ancestral home of Comrade Hu Jintao, the former General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. An ancient village dominated by the Hu surname, traditional Huizhou-style buildings line both sides of the river, creating a picturesque scene with quiet lanes, white walls, and black tiles, all embodying the essence of an ancient Huizhou village.
