Drive 80 km from downtown Huangshan to reach Yangchan Tulou. As you step into the scattered Tulou cluster nestled in the valleys of Huangshan, the setting sun paints the rammed earth walls amber. The rounded eaves hang like the curves of a Tai Chi symbol, and the gentle tinkling of wind chimes awakens six centuries of slumber. Run your hand over the cracked rammed earth walls, the coarse rice husk and gravel prickling your palm, as if touching the scorching sweat of the ancestors who built them. Look up from the courtyard, and 72 wooden windows frame 72 patches of sky, each pane concealing family stories of curling smoke from cooking fires. A breeze whispers through the corridors, carrying the scent of pine smoke and tea, and you can almost see women in homespun clothing embroidering by the "beauty lean" window sills, and children playing around the fragrant osmanthus trees. These Tulou are not just buildings; they are three-dimensional family trees written in earth, offering a place of rootedness for modern wanderers.

This time, exploring the hidden treasure of southern Anhui - 🏞️Yangchan Tulou, is like traveling through a time tunnel and arriving at an isolated and secluded paradise🌸! 👀When I first saw Yangchan, its simplicity and tranquility touched my heart! The 367 earthen buildings are built according to the mountain terrain, staggered and stacked layer by layer, as if they are the perfect fusion of nature and human wisdom🏰. Every brick and tile reveals the traces of time, telling the vicissitudes of the Zheng family for more than 300 years. 🌞“Yangchan”, there is poetry in the name – born facing the sun and born on steep slopes. Every earth building here is like a child of the earth, facing the sun and unyielding. Walking on the winding mountain road, I can still hear the old proverb: "The blessed ones build earthen walls", and I can't help but feel an inexplicable warmth and sense of belonging in my heart🏠. 🚗Attention, friends who are traveling by car! Starting from She County, Huangshan, it takes about 30 kilometers to drive to embrace this beauty far away from the hustle and bustle.

Doesn't exist! Yangchan Tulou is open to the public for free, what a conscientious work! However, the road from the visitor center to the earth building is a bit rugged. If you feel tired, the 30-yuan round-trip shuttle bus is a good choice. Of course, if you are willing to measure this land with your feet, it will be an unforgettable experience! 👣 🛌If you want to stay overnight, there are homestays in the village. Although the facilities are simple, the tranquility and the company of the starry sky are definitely worth slowing down and enjoying a night of seclusion and tranquility. 🌌 🏮Don’t forget, on the way from Shexian to Yangchan, the fish lanterns in Zhanqi Village are a wonderful scenery during the Spring Festival, and the Xin’an River Ten-mile Art Gallery is also waving to you not far away! 🎆 This trip made me realize that sometimes the most beautiful scenery is often hidden in the most inconspicuous places, waiting for the right people to discover it. 👣

#2024TravelReview Shexian Yangchan Tulou Autumn "Painting" Harvest There are many places in mainland China that are famous for drying the harvest. They want to add a sense of ritual to the drying of the harvest, and want to use the theme of drying the harvest as installation art to market the place and increase the income of local residents. Yangchan Tulou in She County is located in a remote area. It is an ancient village built on the mountainside among the mountains in southern Anhui. Due to the complex terrain and inconvenient transportation, local materials are used for both building houses and repairing roads. The spectacular earthen buildings with traces of time are lined up in an orderly manner. With the advantage of facing the sun, the blue sky, white clouds and colorful objects are beautiful, extremely beautiful…. The mountain road is narrow and difficult to pass, and there are many dangerous hairpin turns. Tour buses cannot go up. If you are traveling independently and have no experience in driving on mountain roads, it is recommended that you contact the local shuttle bus for assistance in advance. The loess walls of the buildings are mottled by time and bear traces of the years. For hundreds of years, the villagers have been working from sunrise to sunset, and have been self-sufficient through their own labor. It’s just that there are relatively few young people in the village who go out to explore the world.

Yangchan Tulou in Shexian County, southern Anhui, has a long history. A Zheng family moved from Henan to Dingtan, northern Shexian, in the Song Dynasty, and then moved to Yangchan in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The village is backed by mountains on three sides, with streams flowing through the valleys. It faces the sun, hence the name "Yang" (meaning "sun" in Chinese). The mountains are steep, hence the name "Chan" (meaning "steep" in Chinese). Therefore, the family named the village "Yangchan." The village is built on the mountain slope, with tulou as the main building. The walls are made of rammed earth with bamboo strips as reinforcement and wooden beams. The walls are thick, warm in winter, and cool in summer. For hundreds of years, the villagers have lived and worked here in peace and contentment. The village is built along the mountain, with winding stone steps and roads. The roof of the lower house is level with the courtyard of the upper house, forming a layered structure. The walls are mostly yellow with white in between, which is unique among the Hui-style buildings with black tiles and white walls in southern Anhui. This is also the reason why travelers are eager to visit. A visit to Yangchan Tulou is definitely worth it.
