Crowded at Xian Du? Try the nearby Heyang Ancient Residences!
I originally planned to visit the Xian Du scenic area, but unfortunately, there were too many tourists. I didn't want to spend the whole day in line, so I stumbled upon this ancient village. It is currently the largest in scale, oldest in history, and most culturally profound of its kind in the Jiangnan region.
The ancient architectural complex, covering 0.4 square kilometers, allows visitors to appreciate the thoughtfulness of the scenic area. Even during holidays, it is not overcrowded, offering an excellent experience. The area is not only rich in historical and cultural atmosphere but also offers a variety of activities, such as paper-cutting, embroidery, calligraphy, Wuyi opera performances, and water screen movies. I feel that the 40 yuan ticket is well worth the price.

In spring, one can take a leisurely stroll through the ancient town
🎐 Lishui has a lesser-known ancient town, Heyang ancient residences, not many people know about it, so not many people visit it either~
🎐 You might not encounter many tourists when you enter, but rather the elderly locals living there, giving off a very genuine atmosphere~
🎐 Walking into such alleys, quiet and serene, it feels as if you've traveled through time, allowing your soul to settle and quietly feel; although it's not bustling, it has inherited a thousand years of cultural history~
🎐 There are several notable sights in Heyang ancient residences: the round moon gate of 'Following Rules and Stamping the Moon', the horse head wall clusters, the Eight Scholars Gate... all worth a visit~
🎐 Heyang ancient residences are almost zero commercial, it has a sense of isolation from the world, very suitable for taking photos with a sense of nostalgia, if you come to Lishui, you might want to take a look~

A well-preserved millennium ancient village, a historical village with a clan bloodline as a link and a poly ethnic group. It was built at the end of the Five Dynasties and still preserves the design of the Yuan Dynasty and the two villages on the first street and the five lanes. The first village entrance is the only four-star shopping spot in Jinyun. The things inside are very complete and the price is reasonable.
There are ten ancient clan manor houses in the ancient dwelling houses, fifteen ancient ancestral halls, and more than 1,500 rooms in the old ones. The number is large and the scale is large, which is rare in the country.
Bashimen was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, named after the eight priests of the Heyang Song and Yuan Dynasties. In 1094, the two priests of Heyang set up a "long corridor banquet" on Ba Shi Street to thank the father and the old folks. Later, every year in the spring of March, in order to encourage the children to study hard, the tribes banqueted at Ba Shi Street, called the "Character Banquet". ".

Heyang Ancient Residence is located in Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It was built at the end of the Five Dynasties and has a history of more than a thousand years.
Heyang has ten major clan-style manor-style ancient residential buildings and fifteen ancient ancestral halls, the Song Dynasty ancient temple "Fuchang Temple" with three religions, the "Bashishimen" and "Ba Shimen" in the Yuan Dynasty. The stone "rare" of the former Ming dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Heyang window cut paper, which is a must for Chinese folk art. The most distinctive feature of the
ancient residential exterior wall building is the answer road, which has 32 consecutive "horse wall" on this road. The horse head wall, also known as the wind wall, is one of the characteristics of the Huizhou architecture. There are only two places in China where there are so many concentrated horse head walls. More than 90% of people in
Heyang are surnamed Zhu. The ancestors of Zhus ancestors used to cultivate and read the family, and to pay attention to agriculture and business, and the talents came forth in large numbers. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were eight scholars who formed the "Yiyang Poetry School". According to legend, "Bashishimen" was built for this purpose. There is also a pair of headless stone lions in front of the "Ba Shimen". The stone lion is a gift from Zhu Yuanzhang. It is named "rare", which means that the eight priests in Heyang Village are rare.
Heyang Ancient Village now has to collect tickets, 40 yuan / person, we arrived late, gave us a team price of 20. In fact, the village is not closed and can enter freely. But there are a few places in it to check the ticket. And it's important to buy tickets and have free explanations. Our explanation is a local high school student who will be a volunteer instructor during his vacation. People are quite awkward and speak very well, like one.
