Mukeng Bamboo Sea

Just a stone's throw away from the infamous Hongcun Village, the Mukeng Bamboo Forest makes for a great escape into nature when your needing a little bit of a break from the concrete! I was village hopping all through Anhui, visiting villages like Lucun and Hongcun and more, and decided one afternoon that I needed a bit of greenery in my life. As the name suggests, what you'll find here is a thick forest of bamboo, with a whole mountain covered in tall, lush trees. It's beautiful and tranquil, even on a grey and drizzly day like I experienced. If anything, it added more character to the overall ambiance of the area. And especially after rain, you'll see clouds of mist just enveloping the forest. The walking route here is pretty circular, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Start your tour at the "Western Sea", then head south toward the "Southern Sea". Ticket Price: Around 30 RMB. But if you want to cross the glass bridge, you'll have to pay a bit extra.

Hongcun in Anhui is known as the "village in Chinese painting", a peculiar ancient village in the shape of a cow in the ancient Yi Tao Peach Blossom Source. Hongcun is backed by the Yellow Mountain's Yangzhanling and Leigang Mountain, due to its high terrain, it is often clouded and misty, integrating the cultural landscape of the ancient village with the natural landscape that is like ink and wash, sometimes like heavy color ink, sometimes like splash-ink freehand brushwork, like a slowly unfolding landscape scroll. The lake and mountain scenery coexist harmoniously with the layered houses, and the natural landscape and cultural connotations complement each other, which is the characteristic of Hongcun's different residential architectural layout and has become a great miracle of today's world cultural heritage. Must-visit attractions 1 South Lake, Moon Marsh, Chengzhitang, South Lake Academy, Jicun Street; while tasting tea at Deyitang, Genxintang, Jianqinge, etc., you can also enjoy the local tea ceremony performance in Huizhou. 2 It is recommended to follow the village guide (free) for a tour, to appreciate the profound cultural heritage of Huizhou from the ancient residences of Hongcun, and then to wander around according to your own preferences. What needs special attention is that the geomantic pattern of Hongcun mountain village is a cow-shaped structure layout, the two trees at the head of the village are the horns of the cow, the Moon Marsh is the stomach of the cow, and the waterway in the village is the intestine of the cow, which is very interesting. 3 When visiting Hongcun, it is best to stay for two or three days, and you must stay in the village, so that you don't have to buy extra tickets to enter and exit Hongcun. And there are many old houses in the village, if you are lucky, you can even stay in a room with a carved big bed. 4 Mukan Bamboo Sea is lush all year round, but it is recommended not to go in April and May, as this is the time when the bamboo leaves are changing, and there will be some green and yellow.
