Hongcun Village flowing through time

When it comes to Hui-style architecture, many people might think of Hongcun Village. Hongcun is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and through clever use of its geographical location and spatial layout, a village of Hui-style architecture has been built here. The houses in the village are well-arranged, and the interior and exterior decorations have distinctive local cultural characteristics. With curiosity about Hui-style architecture, I came here by reputation. Shortly after entering the scenic area, I saw many students sketching by the river, with rows of Hui-style houses reflected on the river surface. From time to time, a breeze blew, causing ripples on the river, creating a rhythmic and very comfortable scene. Along the river, across the arch bridge, following the crowd, I entered the ancient charm of Hongcun. The blue brick and black tile horse head walls are characteristics of Hui-style architecture. The houses are often decorated with red lanterns, and the connected houses outline the streets. The streets crisscross along the water flow, forming the overall outline of Hongcun. Walking in the streets, it's like opening a scroll of time. Chengzhitang was once home to wealthy merchants, the sound of reading echoed in Nanhu Academy, and various folk art pieces were treasured in Shuren Hall. These marks of time allow every visitor to understand the history of Hongcun. Unconsciously, I arrived at the central area of Hongcun - Moon Marsh. Moon Marsh is a crescent-shaped pond, reflecting the surrounding buildings. In Moon Marsh, quietly waiting for the moon to rise, watching the lights come on, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this moment. With the arrival of nightfall, my journey in Hongcun also came to an end. If you, like me, want to see Hui-style architecture, why not take a walk in Hongcun~ 📍Location: Hongcun Scenic Area, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 💰Ticket: 94 yuan/person ⏰Opening hours: all day ⏳Tour duration: about half a day to a day 【Recommendations】 🌟The temperature difference is large in the morning and evening, it is recommended to prepare warm clothes 🌟Food and accommodation are provided in the scenic area, you can choose as needed 🌟The scenic area is large and the walking distance is long, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes 🌟Taking photos at Moon Marsh is very photogenic, but there are many people, pay attention to safety when taking photos, and take care of your belongings
