Hangzhou Ancient Village, more than 700 years old, reappears in the spring in the south of the Yangtze River
Qiandao Lake, when it comes to this scenic spot, everyone is very familiar with it. It is one of the "three largest Qiandao Lakes in the world" and has pure mountain and water beauty. It is suitable for self-driving tours, hiking tours, cycling tours, yacht tours, etc.!
Many friends who came to Qiandao Lake sighed all the way that the beautiful scenery in spring was like a painting, and the feeling of breathing in oxygen was so great that people couldn't help but fall in love with this unique feeling!
In fact, what everyone doesn’t know is that next to the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, there is an ancient Hangzhou village with a history of more than 700 years. Now it has reappeared in the spring of Jiangnan and is known as a place where time slows down. If you are interested, you can come and take a trip!
What I want to talk about is the ancient village of Qinchuan in Hangzhou, which is located on the border of Zhejiang and Anhui and is an ancient village from the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
Looking through history, we can find that the ancient village of Qinchuan got its name from the Wang family's ancestor Wan Ning who moved to Qinchuan, and has always retained the tradition of close relatives living together. There are about 300 ancient houses so far, including 2 Ming Dynasty buildings, and the rest are mostly Qing Dynasty and Republic of China buildings. Walking into the village along the winding mechanized farming path, a beautiful scene of flowing water under a small bridge, pink walls and black tiles comes into view. The entire village faces south and is distributed on both sides of Qinchuan Creek. It is about 1,000 meters long from the entrance to the end of the village.
Interestingly, judging from the appearance of the village, Qinchuan Ancient Village has a small mouth and a big belly, a natural environment, and beautiful mountains and rivers, making it a typical Feng Shui treasure land. If you look down from the top of the mountain, the whole village forms a "王" character along the river, which is quite magical!
After starting the tour, I saw that the houses in the ancient village are all typical Hui-style buildings. The winding river, the green hills, the blue sky, and the cheerful chickens and dogs make it like a shining pearl by the Thousand Island Lake. I can feel the artistic conception of Tao Yuanming's "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains".
Children can see people chatting leisurely at the entrance of the village, chickens, dogs and ducklings playing in groups, and children frolicking in the streets. The whole ancient village gives people a feeling of tranquility and leisure.
Now in spring, the entire ancient village is a reappearance of the Jiangnan region, with a strong pastoral atmosphere. Whether you are admiring the quaint residential buildings or experiencing the leisurely life of the locals, it can make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, you can calm down, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, and experience peace of mind and relaxation.
If you like ancient architecture, you can focus on appreciating the huge ancient building complex, pavilions, waterside pavilions, fish ponds, small bridges, flowing water, ancient camphor trees, and the exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings in the houses. Most of the houses are courtyard houses, which also have highlights. There are brick carvings on the door eaves. The carved figures are lifelike, including the familiar characters from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions".
Moreover, a river in the ancient town divides the town into two halves. The river water is like a long winding silk ribbon, making the air in the ancient town fresh and natural. Because of the presence of a small river in the village, many wooden and stone bridges were built. These bridges demonstrate the original vitality and are also a major attraction!
After communicating with fellow tourists, everyone felt that Qinchuan Ancient Village was a place where time really slowed down. Compared with other well-known ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not well-known. It is precisely because of the obscurity of the ancient village that it has a special ancient charm and style.
The white walls and gray tiles, the flowing water under the small bridge, the misty rain of Jiangnan, and the sounds of chickens and dogs make the ancient village loved by people like a paradise!
In addition, for friends who like rapeseed flowers, the ancient village also has surprises. Large areas of rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, and paired with Jiangnan architecture, it is particularly pleasant!
