Hongcun Village

🏮 Hongcun Village – A Dreamy Escape into Ancient China! 📍 Location: Hongcun Village (宏村), Yi County, Huangshan, Anhui Province ⭐ Rating: 5/5 📸 Photo Spot Highlight: The iconic Moon Pond (月沼) at sunrise or sunset—perfect reflections of Hui-style architecture! My Experience: Stepping into Hongcun felt like wandering into an ink-wash painting. This UNESCO-listed village (over 900 years old!) is a masterpiece of Hui Dynasty architecture, with its black-and-white houses, stone bridges, and tranquil canals. I captured a photo of the Moon Pond as the golden light kissed the ancient eaves—pure magic! Why Visit? ✔ Living Art: The village inspired scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ✔ Photographer’s Paradise: Morning mist and lantern-lit nights are surreal. ✔ Cultural Depth: Explore ancestral halls like Chengzhi Hall (承志堂) with intricate wood carvings. Pro Tips: Arrive early (6-7am) to avoid crowds and catch mist rising over the ponds. Try local snacks: Sticky rice cakes (徽州毛豆腐) and tea from nearby Mount Huangshan.#hongcun #china #huangshan
