Step into a living traditional Chinese painting at Hongcun, a remarkable 900-year-old ancient village. Located in Yixian County, Anhui Province (near Mount Huangshan), Hongcun is a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated worldwide for its breathtaking beauty and profound cultural heritage.
Marvel at the intricate wood carvings inside the traditional courtyard homes. Watch locals going about their daily lives, making traditional tea, and crafting local snacks in the narrow alleys.
Feel the martial arts spirit as you explore the very places where legendary film scenes were filmed. The village is ingeniously designed in the shape of an ox. Its heart is the stunning Moon Pond (Yuezao), and the entrance features the expansive South Lake (Nanhu). The mirror-like reflections of the ancient houses on the water are simply unforgettable and a photographer's dream.
