Wander Chengkan, Leave No Regrets: China’s Ancient Village of Cosmic Harmony

#discoverchina #anhui Nestled at the southern foothills of the Yellow Mountains in Anhui Province, Chengkan is a 1,200-year-old village whispered to bring luck to all who visit—hence the saying, Wander Chengkan, leave no regrets in life.Originally named Longxi (Dragon Stream),it was renamed and redesigned by two brothers from Jiangxi during the Tang Dynasty, who transformed it into a living embodiment of the I Ching (Book of Changes). Surrounded by emerald peaks and bamboo forests, Chengkan blends breathtaking nature with profound philosophy. In summer, its lotus ponds burst with pink blossoms against whitewashed walls, creating a scene straight out of a classical painting. Wandering through its winding alleys—three main streets and ninety-nine lanes,feels like stepping into a labyrinth of time, where every arched gateway leads to another era. 🚩Entrance ticket: 107RMB, valid for 3 days
