#2024TravelReview Anhui #Huizhou Ancient City, Yunnan #Lijiang Ancient City, Shanxi #Pingyao Ancient City, Sichuan #Langzhong Ancient City are collectively known as the four major ancient cities of China. This time we visited an ancient city in Anhui not far from Huangshan. Anhui Ancient City is located in She County, Anhui Province. It is a historical city full of humanities and literature. Hui studies originated here. Therefore, the most special thing about visiting Huizhou Ancient City is that each scenic spot records the different connotations of ancient Huizhou culture. Experience. Since the ancient city of Huizhou has a long history and a large hinterland, the city is divided into inner city and outer city, with four gates in the east, west, south and north. In addition, the urn city, city gates, ancient streets and alleys are also preserved. We spent about 1-2 hours walking around, and the weather in late autumn was quite comfortable for walking.

Bishan Bookstore is located in Bishan Village, Yi County, Anhui Province, in Qitai Hall, a 200-year-old ancestral hall. The weathered colors and buildings highlight the profound sense of history and cultural heritage. I never thought that in today's declining bookstores, there would be a bookstore like this, and a bookstore whose purpose is not to make money. Walking along the wall, there is indeed a sign of Bishan Bookstore hanging on the gate of a temple. The wooden sign is as mottled and covered with moss as the temple. Although it was only hung in the past two years, it seems to be as old as the temple. #2021Exhibition

Anhui D7 | Huishang Grand Courtyard (Not Comparable to Qiao Family Compound) Huishang Grand Courtyard (P1) is not a single mansion, but a modern integration of 26 Huizhou-style buildings from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods in She County that were relocated, renovated, and restored as a whole. ＊＊ These buildings include residences, archways, opera stages, pavilions, gardens, and waterside pavilions, forming a combined residential complex with hundreds of rooms, 36 patios, and 1,580 columns. (Ask deepseek for information about the builder, Xu Pulai.) ＊＊ Unlike the Qiao Family Compound, it is not an ancestral home where a certain family has lived for generations. [Therefore, I personally think that comparing it with the Qiao Family Compound is a publicity stunt.] ＊＊ Nevertheless, it is still an ancient architectural complex that integrates the essence of Huizhou architecture with historical culture. The grand courtyard is marked by horse-head walls and flying eaves (P7), and incorporates the "four waters returning to the hall" patio layout of Huizhou (P6). The patio is not only the core of lighting and ventilation, but also stores water through water tanks, which symbolizes "gathering wealth" and also serves as a fire-fighting function. [The Pinnacle of "Three Carvings" Art] The grand courtyard preserves more than 14,000 stone carvings (P8), wood carvings (P9-12), and brick carvings, covering themes such as flowers, figures, and auspicious animals. One of the stone carvings has a "page" small door (P8) at the top, which can be opened and closed with the change of wind force, combining decoration and "weather forecast" functions, with extremely high craftsmanship and can be called a unique product. [Epitome of Huizhou Merchants' Wealth] The grand courtyard is large in scale, covering an area of 13,000 square meters. Its construction cost a lot of money. The builder wanted to reflect the financial strength of Huizhou merchants in their heyday. The capital of Ming and Qing Huizhou merchants once accounted for more than half of the national treasury, and Emperor Qianlong even exclaimed, "Rich are the merchants, I can't compare." The luxurious decoration and complex structure of the mansion are a concrete manifestation of this economic strength. [Huizhou Water Conservancy and Disaster Prevention Wisdom] Practical functions are integrated into the architectural design, such as water tank fire prevention and patio drainage system. The water canal (ditch) network excavated by the ancients in Hongcun is also used for reference, reflecting the Huizhou people's construction concept of "harmony between man and nature." [Visiting Suggestions] 1. If you visit, you can hire a tour guide (CNY 50), who will explain for 1 hour, which is more rewarding than visiting by yourself. 2. There is no need to come here specifically, because it is not a cultural relic building, but an integrated object. 3. After the visit, you can go to the nearby "Laohukaiwen Ink Factory" for a free visit with explanation, where you can learn about the production of Huizhou ink and She inkstones (finally know how inkstones and ink are made). Because photography is not allowed in each workshop, only the raw stone of She inkstone---Longwei Stone (P13) at the door was photographed.

#discoverchina #anhui The rain had eased as we stood before Huizhou’s rare eight-legged archway,one of only a handful worldwide. Its rain-slicked pillars and intricate Confucian carvings radiated eight centuries of history. Later, fortune led us to a vibrant fish lantern performance—a living intangible heritage. Dancers twirled glowing silk carps through the mist until, to my delight, they invited me to participate. Hoisting the bamboo-frame lantern, I felt its weight and the silk’s whisper against my skin—a fleeting yet profound connection. From enduring stone to dancing light, Huizhou revealed its dual soul: eternal majesty and living tradition in perfect harmony.

#discoverchina #anhui Visiting Tangyue Village’s Seven Memorial Archways** in Anhui was a dream come true for me—ever since I was young and saw this enchanting place in Qiong Yao’s drama. Ilonged to walk its historic paths. The village is famed for its seven magnificent stone archways,standing proudly in a row, each telling tales of loyalty, filial piety, and virtue from ancient times. What makes this place even more special is its unique Women’s Ancestral Hall,the only one of its kind in China, honoring the virtues and sacrifices of women in Confucian tradition. Strolling through the quiet lanes, surrounded by Huizhou-style white-walled houses and intricate carvings, felt like stepping back into a poetic, bygone era. Though time has weathered the stones, the legacy of Tangyue’s stories remains as captivating as ever—just like the melodrama that first drew me here.

Hidden among the folds of the She County mountains lies the secret realm of Shitan, Anhui. In spring, the sea of rapeseed flowers spills gold, the terraced fields cascade like chains, and ancient villages with white walls and black tiles hang in the clouds. When the morning mist rises, it's as if an ink painting has come to life. Hike the mountain paths amidst pear blossoms and peach blooms, and with a click of the shutter, you capture half a scroll of Huizhou poetry. Shitan Village, She County Exclusive Guide (Applicable from late March to mid-April 2025) I. Core Highlights and Best Time to Visit The peak blooming season for rapeseed flowers in Shitan is from late March to mid-April. The golden sea of flowers intertwined with Hui-style architecture, clouds, and mist makes it a prime time for sightseeing and photography. Best Time: Arrive at the mountaintop viewing platform between 5:30 and 8:00 to capture the morning mist, sunrise, and sea of clouds (or the hazy charm of a rainy Jiangnan if it rains). Special Reminder: The biggest highlight of Shitan is the sea of clouds. It's recommended to check the weather forecast for She County before your trip. If there are two or three consecutive rainy days, there's a 70% chance of a sea of clouds. On the first clear day after rain, there's a 90% chance of a vast sea of clouds, which may persist for the following two or three days. II. Classic Routes 1. Take the scenic shuttle bus to the Xiatai Viewing Platform (core photography spot) for a panoramic view of the terraced flower fields and ancient villages, and capture the mist-shrouded "Ink Wash Huizhou." 2. Hiking Loop: Xiatai Village → Hushan Village (deserted village) → Hushan Ridge Viewing Platform → Beishan Village. The route is dotted with rapeseed flowers, pear blossoms, and ancient dwellings, taking approximately 2–3 hrs. III. Transportation and Driving Tips Driving Route: From She County, navigate to "She County Shitan Village Tourist Distribution Center." The journey is approximately 35 km and takes about 40 mins. Parking Tips: Cars can be parked for free at the distribution center or the village entrance. Then, transfer to a shuttle bus. The mountain roads are narrow with many 180-degree sharp turns, so driving up the mountain is not recommended. Scenic shuttle buses operate from 5:00 to 19:00. If staying overnight on the mountain, arrive before 19:00. Otherwise, contact the village committee to arrange transportation (additional fees apply). IV. Accommodation Recommendations: 1. Accommodation at the foot of the mountain (Shitan Village): Many homestays in the village offer room and board for approximately 90–150 CNY/person/day (including three meals). Accommodation is basic but offers an authentic rural experience. It's recommended to contact them in advance to confirm availability. During peak season (March–April), book at least one week in advance. 2. Mountain Accommodation (Beishan Village, Xiatai Village): Mountain homestays are convenient for capturing the sea of clouds and flower fields in the early morning, but prices are slightly higher (around 200–300+ CNY/night). 3. She County Accommodation: For a more comfortable stay, consider She County (approximately 40 mins drive). Standard rooms are priced around 150–300 CNY/night with comprehensive facilities, suitable for families. V. Local Cuisine Recommended Farmhouse Dishes: Dried bamboo shoots with braised pork, Shitan tofu, free-range chicken soup, and Qingming Kueh (around 30–50 CNY per person). Tip: There are limited restaurants in the village. Pre-ordering meals with your homestay is recommended. VI. Important Notes 1. Tickets and Fees: Admission is free. Shuttle bus: 15 CNY/person one-way, 30 CNY/person round-trip. 2. Traffic Control: From March 8, a one-way traffic management system is in place. Private cars are prohibited from ascending the mountain. Visitors must transfer to the scenic shuttle bus at the Shitan Village Tourist Distribution Center. 3. Recommended Gear: The mountainous area is prone to rain and fog. Bring waterproof clothing, non-slip shoes, and a windbreaker (due to large temperature differences). 4. The mobile phone signal is weak in some mountain homestays. It's advisable to carry some cash for payment. 5. Tip for Avoiding Crowds: Avoid weekends and holidays. Opt for a working day visit.

Sisters! This time I went on a self-driving tour to She County and discovered a newly opened treasure hotel, She County Baijing Lakeside Hotel! The whole experience can only be described as "surprise", I have to give you a wave of inspiration ~✨ 【Location and Transportation】 Driving is super convenient! It is only a 10-minute drive from Huizhou Ancient City and the high-speed rail station. There is also a beautiful artificial lake next to it. It is so relaxing to take a walk in the evening and enjoy the breeze. (Whisper: the underground parking lot is super large, so you don’t have to worry about parking!) 🛏️【Facility Experience】 The newly opened hotel is indeed different! The room is spacious and bright, and the smart curtains + panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows directly frame the lake view into an oil painting🖼️. You can watch the sunrise while lying in bed🌅! The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and is fully equipped with makeup remover wipes, mouthwash, and even a hanging iron and a small refrigerator. Details control is a delight~💅 🍳【Breakfast & Meals】 There are many types of breakfast! The local noodles with toppings are a must-try, the beef brisket soup base is so thick that you want to lick the bowl! There are both Chinese and Western food, and the freshly ground coffee smells very good ☕️~ The restaurant also has private rooms where you can order food. The Anhui cuisine is authentic and affordable. I ordered stinky mandarin fish and hairy tofu in the evening, and it was not a disappointment at all! 💼【Service details】 The lady at the front desk is very beautiful and considerate! When checking in, we were given welcome snacks and tickets to Mount Qiyun🎫, and there were even free roasted sweet potatoes🍠! When I checked out, they found that I had forgotten something, and they immediately helped me send it back. My favorability rating was instantly maxed out! 📸【Surrounding gameplay】 The hotel is very close to Maihua Fishing Village and Qiyun Mountain, which can be reached in 20 minutes by car. Come in spring just in time for the flowering season, and the plum blossoms all over the mountains are breathtakingly beautiful! The night view of the ancient city is also very atmospheric, with cobblestone roads and lantern walls, every shot you take is an ancient-style blockbuster! 🌟Summary: With a lake view room for 200+ per person and four-star service, this price/performance ratio is rare in tourist cities! The room is so clean that there is no dust even in the corners, and the soundproofing is also very good, so the sleep quality is perfect💤~ Next time I come to She County, I will definitely choose this place again!
