灵山酒酿

A simple and comfortable shop, the specialty wine is sweet but not greasy, and the owner is warm and hospitable

❌ The Real Reasons for Discouraging Visits (Superficially): Less famous than Hongcun and Xidi, the village is small and easy to explore, and feels even more deserted in winter! 1️⃣ Exploring the Mysteries of Bagua Village Yongxing Lake: The pond reflects the horse-head walls, and even the withered lotus in winter has a unique charm. Take your children to walk along the "Peaceful Bend," symbolizing good fortune. Yan Yi Hall: A Ming Dynasty residence with a well-preserved structure of "dark rooms, attics, and tunnels," like stepping into an adventure story. Luo Dongshu Ancestral Hall: The Baolun Pavilion, with its carved beams and painted rafters, is magnificent and offers insights into ancient clan culture and the essence of Huizhou architecture. 2️⃣ Hidden Treasures with Fewer Crowds No Guides: Audio guides are available for rent or you can scan a QR code to listen to explanations. Explore at your own pace and enjoy the tranquility. The Fun of the Alleyway Maze: 99 alleys are like a maze. "Explore" with your children; every turn reveals a new discovery. Rural Charm: Villagers bask in the sun and do chores at their doorsteps, creating a vibrant, non-commercial atmosphere. 3️⃣ Warm and Nourishing Huizhou Cuisine Lingshan Fermented Rice: Freshly made fermented rice at the village entrance, warm and slightly sweet, with an irresistible aroma; a cup warms you from head to toe. Hairy Tofu & Stinky Mandarin Fish: Savor the most authentic flavors at the original "Chengkan Hairy Tofu" shop and experience the soul of Huizhou cuisine. Local Farmhouse Dishes: Simply cooked free-range chicken and vegetables, with their original, fresh flavors. 💡 Warning: A Reverse Deliciousness Alert! ✅ Winter's Limited-Time Bliss Stunning End of the Autumn Harvest: If you're lucky, you can witness the last wave of autumn harvest scenes, with corn and peppers displaying vibrant colors. Warming Up by Fire Bucket: Villagers' homes and small shops all have fire buckets; sit down, warm yourself, and chat, experiencing an authentic Huizhou winter. Snowy Huizhou: If it snows, the black and white landscape of Chengkan transforms into a tranquil ink painting. ✅ Excellent Value for Money Tickets offer exceptional value: The cultural significance of the village and its architecture far exceed the ticket price. A guided tour will enhance your experience. Accommodation is also great value: Guesthouses are converted old houses, offering a charming, antique atmosphere at affordable prices. Food is reasonably priced: Meals at villagers' homes or small restaurants cost only a few dozen yuan per person. ✅ Hidden Activities Find the "Kan" Hexagram: Discover elements of the "Kan" hexagram from the I Ching throughout the village's layout and details – a fun and engaging experience. Experience Rubbing: Try traditional rubbing techniques at specific locations and create your own souvenir. Night Tour of Chengkan: The village becomes even more mysterious and tranquil at night when lanterns are lit (staying in the village is required). 📍 Survival Guide (Copy Here, Don't Cry!) 🔥 Warmth Tips Clothing should prioritize warmth and wind protection, as it can be windy in open areas of the village. Shoes must be non-slip, as the cobblestone paths are slippery in the rain. Hand warmers are essential, especially for the soles of your feet. 🔥 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls The village has many branching paths; refer to signs or simple maps to avoid getting lost. Respect the villagers' way of life; do not enter private courtyards to take photos. When buying local specialties such as fermented rice wine and dried bamboo shoots, compare prices at different vendors. 🔥 Photogenic Spots Yongxing Lake Panoramic View: A classic vantage point with the lake and Hui-style architecture as a backdrop. Yan Yi Tang Pavilion Window Frame: Capture the street scene through the old window frame for interesting composition. Deep Alleys: Utilize the narrow alleys to create a sense of depth and narrative. 🎁 Local Perks ✨ Buy homemade ham or cured meat from the villagers for authentic flavor. ✨ Listen to the elders tell stories and legends about "Chengkan". Summary: Although I say I don't recommend it, I'm already captivated by the mystery and tranquility of Bagua Village! Winter in Chengkan is a cultural paradise of fire buckets, fermented tofu, and Yijing (I Ching) exploration! #ChengkanAncientTown #VisitChengkanForALifeWithoutHardships #WorthVisitAncientTownsAndVillages
