Anhui | Xu Village | A hidden utopia
An ancient village with more rural charm than Hongcun‼️ The end of seclusion is Huizhou || Because of the phrase 'The end of seclusion is Huizhou'
I really went to live in the ancient village of Wannan for one night
Here was called the first village in the south of the Yangtze River by Zhu Xi, a philosopher of the Song Dynasty
Chengkan inherits the culture of crossing the ridge without ridges in life
Compared with the heavy commercial atmosphere and many tourists in Hongcun
This place has almost preserved the original ancient village style
Walking deep into the ancient village alley, you can still see the dilapidated houses
More is the rich life of the ancient village
The entire village is laid out according to the Eight Diagrams
Yongxing Lake is like a Jiangnan ink painting
A few white geese glide across the water, adding some rhythm
Walking on the stone road in the village, you will find if you observe carefully
The white ash mountain wall seems to be splashed with ink by a painting master
The tortoise shell-like patterns outlined are full of historical sense
The water channels flow on three sides of the street houses
Villagers come out to wash from time to time
A puddle of small green vegetables grows freely in the vegetable garden
Quiet and simple but not losing the most ordinary life
