Chaji, a thousand-year-old ancient village, brings out the "gold" in every stroke

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Chaji Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Taohuatan Town, Jing County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, China. Chaji Ancient Village is a scenic spot in all seasons. In spring and autumn, the towering horse-head walls, quaint buildings, small bridges and flowing water, curling clouds, and every brick and tile of the village all reveal the sedimentation of history, making it the first choice for countless painting enthusiasts. Chazhi, which was once "hidden in the mountains and unknown to anyone", has now turned the mountainous area into a scenic spot, the houses into guest rooms, and the beautiful scenery into a "money-making" attraction. From obscurity to fame, and then to being highly respected, Chazhi has unknowingly become a "treasure village" in the eyes of art teachers and students, who have come here to collect scenes and create. Chaji Village is now a famous "painters village" and a good place for sketching. Artists look for inspiration in the village and create many works of art with Chaji as the theme, which also makes Chaji Village famous and visited, and paints a new and bright future for this thousand-year-old village.
