Just got back from Chengkan, my soul is still lingering in that picturesque village! 🏞️ They say, "Visit Chengkan, and your life will be free of obstacles," and this place not only has an auspicious name, but its scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. 🚗 First Impression: Stepping into a Thousand-Year-Old Bagua Array! As I drove closer to the village entrance, I was stunned—the entire village is surrounded by eight mountains, a natural Bagua diagram! 🌄 The two characters "Chengkan" by the river, paired with swaying willows, instantly transported me to the Ming Dynasty. The key is that there are far fewer people than in Hongcun and Xidi, allowing for a leisurely stroll. 🏞️ Must-See Attractions (Follow my route and you won't get lost) * 1. Yongxing Lake: A divine spot for capturing reflections 📸 This lake is right at the entrance to the scenic area! I went early, and the water's surface reflected the white walls, black tiles, and horse-head gables like a mirror. Fishermen rowed by on bamboo rafts, and I quickly snapped photos! Wearing bright-colored clothing is recommended; the photos will turn out absolutely stunning. * 2. Xiawu (Ming Dynasty Old House): Witness the essence of Huizhou's three carvings 🎨 This old house left me speechless! The beams, windows, and doors are all adorned with exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings—carp leaping over the dragon gate, magpies perched on plum blossoms... The craftsmanship of the old artisans is simply amazing! Touching the cool stone carvings, it feels like you can touch time from 600 years ago. * 3. Yanyitang: A maze-like mansion 🚪 I almost got lost walking in here! Courtyards within courtyards, rooms connected to rooms, it's like stepping onto the set of "Raise the Red Lantern." The carved windows in the young lady's boudoir on the second floor are particularly exquisite and worth taking your time to admire. * 4. Luodongshu Ancestral Hall: Shocked by the "National Protected Cultural Relic" 😱 This is the treasure of Chengkan! Walking into Baolun Pavilion, looking up at the gilded and painted beams, it's breathtakingly magnificent! It's said that the money spent building this ancestral hall could have paved the entire village... 🍜 Food Recommendations (30 RMB per person, eat your fill) * Lingshan Fermented Rice Wine (5 RMB/bowl): Bought from an old lady's stall at the village entrance. Rich in aroma, you can even add eggs and cook it – so comforting and warming! * Chengkan Hairy Tofu (10 RMB/serving): Tofu covered in white fuzz, pan-fried and dipped in chili sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a truly unique flavor! * Stinky Mandarin Fish (88 RMB/fish): A bit pricey, but the unique marinated flavor is worth trying. The fish meat is shaped like garlic cloves and very flavorful. * Stone Cake (3 RMB/piece): A local snack, a crispy and savory pancake filled with preserved mustard greens, perfect as a snack. 💰 Budget-Friendly Day Trip Expenses Items | Cost | Money-Saving Tips Tickets | 107 RMB | 102 RMB (purchased online 1 hour in advance) Lunch | 35 RMB | Set meal at a farmhouse restaurant near the village entrance Transportation | 0 RMB | Taxi/shared ride from Huangshan North Station (20 RMB per person) Snacks | 15 RMB | Fermented rice wine + hairy tofu + stone cake Total | 157 RMB A quality trip without breaking the bank! 💡 My Hard-Earned Lessons 1. Go early or late: The light is best before 8 am or after 4 pm, and there are fewer tour groups. 2. Hire a guide (30 RMB): There are too many intricacies in the old houses; you need someone to explain them to you to understand. 3. Wear non-slip shoes: The cobblestone streets are especially slippery on rainy days. 4. Stay in a village guesthouse: I stayed at "Shoushan Guandi" (300+ RMB/night), with mountain views from the window, and the sound of frogs at night was incredibly soothing. This place is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and quietly experience ancient Huizhou. Spending a day wandering through maze-like alleyways, watching elderly people sit on their doorsteps basking in the sun—that's the true meaning of travel! ❤️ #JourneyLikeASong #PlacesThatGetAskedAboutOnWeChat #SpontaneousSoloTrip #HavingFunWithFriends
