Ancient Villages in Huizhou | Visit Chengkan, a place with few people and beautiful scenery!

📍Chengkan The Eight Trigrams Village of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a museum of Chinese architectural art, "Visit Chengkan when you visit Huangshan, and you will have no obstacles in your life after visiting Chengkan." ⭐Worth a visit, relatively primitive & less crowded, you can quietly feel the historical accumulation of the ancient village for thousands of years, and there are many photo spots, Hanfu and cheongsam are very suitable 🎫Ticket: CNY 103, valid for the day, CNY 95 for staying in a village homestay (ask the homestay owner to take you to buy tickets, and you can also ask the staff to mark it as valid for three days, so you can enter and exit the scenic area multiple times within three days) 🅿️Self-driving parking: 1️⃣Chengkan Scenic Area South Gate Parking Lot, free for the first half hour, CNY 6 per hour, CNY 1 per hour thereafter, capped at CNY 20 2️⃣There is a free parking lot behind the village homestay, we stayed at [Longxing Hall], next to the parking lot, near Changchun Dasha, it is not far from there to the main scenic area 🗺️Tour route: Entrance → Bagua Gate → Yongxing Lake → Xiawu → Yanyitang → Zhongying Building → Huixiu Bridge → Luodongshu Ancestral Hall (Baolun Pavilion) → Changchun Dasha → Longxing Bridge → Exit 📝Travel guide 👉🏻The scenic area is not very large, about 4 hours of play, divided into 2 areas, south and north, enter from the south gate, exit from the north gate, the south gate parking lot is at the south gate entrance, it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the north gate to the south gate, there is also a shuttle bus 👉🏻No night view, the scenic spot closes at 17:30 in the afternoon, there is basically no lighting, there are few street lights, you need to rely on mobile phone lighting, only some places to eat will be open until eight or nine o'clock, and you have to return to the homestay before ten o'clock at the latest (this is the pace of life in the village, there is no entertainment/nightlife) 👉🏻There will be many old ladies in the village asking you if you want a tour guide, CNY 20 👉🏻There is an old lady selling osmanthus glutinous rice sesame cakes in the alley near the entrance of the village, CNY 5 each, thin, fragrant, sweet and soft, super delicious 🍚We had dinner at [Old Story Private Kitchen] by the river, the iron plate hairy tofu and Huizhou sauce ribs are good, but the portion is slightly large and the taste is a bit salty, two people ate more than CNY 130 🏨We stayed in a homestay [Longxing Hall] in the village for one night, the homestay is managed by an old couple, it is just an ordinary residential decoration, overall it is relatively clean, CNY 180 per night is relatively cheap in that area, the roof overlooks the whole village, the view is good, and it is very close to the free parking lot
