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

When I walked past Xuguo Stone Archway with an oil-paper umbrella, the NPC uncle actually praised me for being "very beautiful" ~ In the afternoon, I slipped into Yangchan Tulou. The staggered yellow mud walls made the lilac jacket look particularly gentle. My phone ran out of battery from taking so many photos 📱! In the evening, we checked into Shiting Huayi (highly recommended!), a homestay converted from a 200-year-old Huizhou merchant’s house.

The more I ate, the more I liked it! In the afternoon, we challenged Aoyu Cave. When we squatted and crawled through the narrow cracks in the rocks, we finally understood why the ancients said "the mountain is as dangerous as a knife" ~ In the evening, we lay on the lawn of Guangmingding to watch the sunset. The clouds were like an overturned rouge box, dyeing the entire sky red🌇 Day 3: Farewell Poems in the Landscape Gallery Give up the crowded Xidi and Hongcun and follow the local grandmas to visit Bishan Village. I wrote a postcard at the Bishan Bookstore, which was converted from a century-old ancestral hall, and sent a "brocade letter in the clouds" to my future self 💌 ~ Finally, I got lost in Chengkan Bagua Village for three hours, but unexpectedly came across a pond full of blooming lotus flowers.

#Mainland Travel Huizhou Ancient City is a famous tourist attraction in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, China. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to the ancient city of Huizhou. Strategy Introduction: Location: Huangshan City, Anhui Province. Tickets: The ancient city is open to the public free of charge, no tickets are required, but some small attractions charge a fee. High-speed rail｜Go to Huangshan North Station and take bus No. 1 directly to Transportation｜It is very convenient to drive by yourself, and there is a parking lot in the scenic area Tour route｜Wangcheng➡Huizhou History Museum➡Nandi Tower➡Huizhou Government Office➡Ancient City Wall➡Yanghe Gate➡Xuguo Stone Archway➡Hui Garden➡Dousan Street 【Highlights】 Main Street: The main street is very lively, but it is more interesting to walk in the alleys on both sides. Going uphill, you will find the legendary "Harry Potter Diagon Alley", which is so cool! Huizhou History Museum: Free and open to the public, reservations can be made on site. Here you can gain in-depth knowledge of Huizhou’s history, culture and customs, as well as the “Three Wonders of Huizhou” (archways, ancient dwellings and ancestral halls) and the “Three Sculptures of Huizhou” (brick carving, wood carving and stone carving). Nandi Tower: The main gate tower of the ancient city, an archway supported by 24 wooden pillars, is magnificent and is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city. Huizhou Government Office + Ancient City Wall: Combo ticket 48 yuan. Built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it was the political center of ancient Huizhou. Take a stroll along the ancient city wall and feel the weight of history. Yanghemen: There is a "Fuya Grandpa Coffee" on the city wall, which is full of atmosphere! Sitting at the window, you can overlook the main street and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.

Perhaps it's because I spent my childhood in Anhui, or perhaps it's because of that unintentional reading of "Dreaming of Huizhou" that makes me particularly fond of the mountains, rivers, plants, and local customs of Huizhou. In 2024, I took my parents on a spring outing and came to Huizhou again, a place I've always longed for. Because my parents are elderly, I chose to drive myself. The Huizhou itinerary mainly included Huizhou Ancient City, Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, Qiyun Mountain, and Xidi. The trip was around April 10th. The rapeseed flower season in Huizhou was over, there were relatively few tourists, and hotel prices were much more affordable. 🌟Highlights: 1. Huizhou Ancient City: Located in She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, it was built in the Qin Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been the seat of Huijun, Zhou, and Fuzhi. In 1986, it was listed as a National Historical and Cultural City. Compared to Hongcun, I prefer to stroll around this free ancient city. The more famous check-in spots include the Xu Guo Stone Archway and Doushan Street. I especially recommend the She County Museum outside the ancient city. This museum is a small garden built on a mountain. There are few tourists. The winding mountain paths and the white-walled, black-tiled Huizhou-style buildings complement each other. It should be noted that it is closed on Mondays. 2. Qiyun Mountain: Qiyun Mountain, formerly known as Baiyue, is named for its distant view of the top of the mountain being level with the clouds; it is located in Qiyunshan Town, Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. There are three scenic spots in Qiyun Mountain: Yuehua Street, Yunyan Lake, and Lou Shang Lou. There are 36 strange peaks, 44 strange rocks, 18 secluded caves, 27 flying springs, 14 pools, 16 pavilions, 537 inscriptions, 3 stone archways, 5 stone bridges, and 33 temples. If you are with elderly people and children, it is recommended to take the cable car up and down. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance of the scenic spot to the cable car station. After getting off the cable car, you still need to walk up the mountain. After passing through the Three Heavenly Gates, you can attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven to reach Tianjie. Haha 😃... 3. Xin'an River Landscape Gallery Compared to the Fuchun River Landscape Gallery, I prefer the combination of Huizhou-style buildings and beautiful scenery along the Xin'an River. The ancient villages along the river make people feel like they have traveled back to simple and moving Huizhou families in minutes. 🌟Food Recommendations: 1. Longfeng Huicai Intangible Cultural Heritage Stinky Mandarin Fish (Impression Store) 2. Wang Yitiao Huizhou Specialty Snacks 📌Tips: There are many hostels and B&Bs in Huizhou now, and the quality is constantly improving. We booked Yongshe outside the ancient city. The location is good, next to the She County Museum. It has an independent small courtyard for parking. The Huizhou-style breakfast is also very good, but the rooms are a bit small.

#discoverchina Huizhou Ancient City has a strong historical atmosphere and is one of the best-preserved historical and cultural cities in China. Located in Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, it has a history spanning over a thousand years. The city's layout follows the natural landscape, with ancient streets and alleys crisscrossing throughout. Within the city, numerous well-preserved Huizhou-style buildings showcase the rich cultural heritage of Huizhou.

As the most well-preserved ancient Bagua Feng Shui village in China, Chengkan is known as a living museum of Huizhou culture with the reputation of "must-see when visiting Huangshan Mountain." Here, you can find the ink-wash Jiangnan depicted by Song Dynasty poets, the magnificent momentum of ancestral halls carved in the Ming Dynasty, and the mysterious metaphysics of "no bumps in life after visiting Chengkan." In 2025, during the rapeseed flower season, this ancient village with a thousand-year history interprets the oriental philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" with golden flowers and maze-like streets and alleys. 🌟 Quick View of Core Highlights 📍 Location: Chengkan Town, Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🎫 Tickets: CNY 80 for a joint ticket (including the ancient village, Yongxing Lake, and the Book of Changes Hall). Tickets for some attractions can be purchased separately. 🚗 Transportation: • Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then transfer to Huizhou Bus No. 17 to reach directly (about 25 minutes) • Drive to "Chengkan Scenic Area" via GPS. The parking lot at the entrance of the village is CNY 10/time. ⏰ Best seasons: March–April (rapeseed flower sea), September–November (autumn colors) 🏯 Space-time folding point: A millennium dialogue between history and architecture ❶ Bagua Feng Shui Layout | A three-dimensional Book of Changes with the wisdom of the ancients Chengkan was built according to the theory of "the unity of Yin (Kan) and Yang (Cheng)" in the Book of Changes. Eight mountains surround the village, and the Longxi River flows through it in an "S" shape, forming a natural dividing line between Yin and Yang fish. The streets and alleys are winding and twisting, and the two canals, five streets, and ninety-nine alleys are intertwined like a maze. The original pattern of "pillow mountain, ring water, and face screen" has been preserved from the Song Dynasty to the present. Photography code: Take a drone aerial shot in the early morning to capture the panoramic view of the Bagua village surrounded by rapeseed flower fields. ❷ Luodongshu Ancestral Hall (Baolun Pavilion) | The carving epic of the No. 1 Ancestral Hall in Jiangnan This Ming Dynasty ancestral hall is famous for its painted sculptures, wood carvings, and stone carvings. The painted beams are still as bright as ever after 400 years. The caisson ceiling of the bedroom features flying dragons shuttling through the clouds, and the stone railing is intricately carved. Liu Haisu praised it as the "Museum of Huizhou Architectural Art." Hidden surprise: Touch the plaque "Yilun Youxu" inscribed by Dong Qichang to feel the literary integrity of the Ming Dynasty. ❸ Yongxing Lake and Huanxiu Bridge | The poetic mirror image of Huizhou Water Village • Yongxing Lake: In summer, the lotus flowers set off the white walls and black tiles, and the reflection is like a mirror of the sky; in autumn and winter, the mist is diffused, and the ancient trees and Huizhou architecture on the lakeside form a long ink painting. • Huanxiu Bridge: A Yuan Dynasty five-hole stone bridge. The century-old shop "Huanxiu Xuan" at the bridgehead houses Huizhou wood carving treasures. Taking pictures of the bluestone reflection on rainy days produces the best photos. ❹ Sunning Square | The color aesthetics of agricultural civilization In the golden autumn season, the square is covered with red peppers, corn, and rice. The scene of farmers drying grains is more primitive than Huangling in Wuyuan. Experience guide: Participate in the September Chrysanthemum Exhibition and make traditional Huizhou bamboo weaving sunning trays by hand. 🎭 Cultural Decoding: From the Metaphysics of the Book of Changes to the Huizhou Flavor on the Tip of the Tongue ❶ Overcoming Obstacles Culture | Cracking the Millennium Metaphysics Code The "Kuakan Gate" at the entrance of the village implies disaster relief and prayer for blessings. Touching the stone beast and walking the Bagua array are must-try projects. ❷ Folk Customs and Intangible Cultural Heritage | Living Huizhou Memories • Feng Shui Culture Tourism Festival (end of June): Watch traditional sacrifices and high pole boat performances, and experience the intangible cultural heritage of Zha Canlong craftsmanship. • Huizhou Ink Production: Make ink by hand in the former residence of Luo Longwen and carve an exclusive Huizhou imprint. ❸ Chengkan on the Tip of the Tongue | The Secret Flavor of Huizhou Cuisine • Three must-eat delicacies: Mao Tofu (ancient fermentation method), Stinky Mandarin Fish (secret recipe from descendants of Wang Zhihe), Chengkan Crispy Candy (century-old Wu's Sesame Cake). • Dark cuisine: Stinky Tofu Ice Cream (fermented amaranth stalk juice + milk), Sanbaijiu Coffee (52-degree liquor milk cap). 📸 Photography and Trip Moments Guide ❶ Photo Spots • Bagua Arch: 13 arched doorways form the same scene as in "Joy of Life." Take a C-position wide-angle shot. • Yan Yi Tang: The carved window lattices of the old house in the Ming Dynasty highlight the symmetrical aesthetics of Huizhou architecture with frame composition. • Night Tour Secret Realm: Take a long exposure after the lanterns are lit, and the reflection of the ancient bridge is in the same frame as the starry sky. ❷ Dress and Props • Hanfu chooses ink colors, and oiled paper umbrellas are matched with bluestone roads; • In the evening, borrow farmers' bamboo baskets and hats to integrate into the sunning scene. 🛏️ Accommodation and Practical Guide ❶ Accommodation Recommendation • Pillow Water Residence: A Huizhou-style homestay on the bank of Yongxing Lake, with a view of the lotus pond and the moon (CNY 200+/person). • Bushed Yema Ridge: Renovated from a 600-year-old mud house, the cliff-side infinity pool overlooks the ancient village (CNY 3,000+/night). ❷ Avoiding Pitfalls Guide • Ticket Mystery: You can buy a basic ticket for CNY 40 if you only visit the ancient village. If you are not interested in the ancestral hall, you can skip Baolun Pavilion. • Travel at Off-Peak Times: Avoid tour groups from 10:00–15:00 on weekends. It is recommended to visit on Friday afternoon or Monday morning. ❸ Joint Tour Recommendation • Lingshan Ancient Village: A 3 km bluestone water street connects 36 ancient bridges. Experience digging bamboo shoots and harvesting tribute rice in the bamboo sea. • Ancient City of Huizhou: Enjoy transportation package discounts for combined tours, about 40 minutes by car. 🌌 When the golden rapeseed flowers flood the pink walls and black tiles of the Bagua village, and when the caisson paintings of Luodongshu Ancestral Hall circulate the millennium glory in the sun, this secret place called "the No. 1 village in Jiangnan" by Zhu Xi has long surpassed the geographical significance of existence—it is a living fossil of Huizhou culture, a three-dimensional annotation of the Book of Changes philosophy, and a spiritual totem for every Chinese person to find the origin of culture.

#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.

It's a dreamy, seasonal wonderland. However, we went in winter, and it was a bit bleak, but it also had a quiet charm. Travel Tips - 🔘All these attractions are free, and you can easily visit them in two days without feeling rushed. - 🔘Public transportation in Huizhou is not very convenient, and the attractions are far apart. Renting a car and driving yourself is the best option for freedom and convenience. - 🔘Be careful when taking a taxi in She County! Many DiDi drivers add extra charges after accepting an order. When we took a taxi back from Yangchan, the platform showed CNY 40, but the driver asked for CNY 100. Be sure to agree on the price in advance.
