Qingxi is surrounded by mountains, water surrounds the city, and white clouds are difficult to draw. Wild colors are hidden everywhere on the balcony, and every family lights up and reads books.
After reading this poem, do you also yearn for the scene in the poem and find out whether there really is such a world of ink painting?
Huizhou hides such scenery.
When it comes to Huizhou, we have to mention the famous Hongcun. Hongcun is located in the northeast of yi county, one of the six counties in Huizhou. Because of its elegant and simple Huizhou architecture and unique spirit of living by water, it is known as the "village in painting".
However, around the famous Hongcun, there are some hidden and beautiful ancient villages scattered like pearls. They not only have small bridges and flowing water of Huizhou architecture, but also have their own characteristics, which are worth visiting.
Li Xiu Ancient Town is only three kilometers away from Hongcun Town. It is a quiet village hidden between green mountains and green waters, and it is a rare paradise.
Although it is not as bustling and lively as Hongcun, nor as bamboo forest as Xidi ancient city, its quietness and exquisiteness claim to be unique.
Crossing the quaint and exquisite suspension bridge on the water seems to have pushed open the door of time and entered an old time. Relying on the original villages and towns and topography, the ancient town rebuilt the damaged old houses, and planned and repaired the whole village on the basis of preserving the life scenes of the people to the greatest extent. So, here, you can see the residential sites and pavilions and plaques hundreds of years ago, or you can enjoy a cup of fragrant tea in the attic of the hotel, overlooking the window. Whether it is the creeper crawling all over the courtyard wall, the mossy stone road, or the half-pushed and half-covered copper ring wooden door, it gives people the mysterious pleasure of crossing.
If you have time, it is also a good choice to bring a cheongsam or rent a Hanfu to take a good-looking photo. Although the ancient town of Li Xiu is close to Hongcun, there are two-thirds fewer tourists than Hongcun. The same scenery and architecture, without the background and noise of people and mountains, have become an excellent holy place for taking pictures and recording videos.
Of course, the charm of the ancient town of Li Xiu is not limited to these. This is also the location of the Legend of Wulin, and the Tongfu Inn, which is full of laughter and laughter, is located here.
Walking all the way along the path paved with bluestone slabs and crossing a small bridge, scenes that used to appear only on TV and childhood memories will be laid out. As soon as you enter the door, the familiar scene makes people seem to see familiar faces. You can touch Lv Xiucai's abacus, walk through the manned stairs and pat the big wooden table of "Fraxinus mandshurica". This scene, this experience, people don't know whether it is through the story or whether the rivers and lakes in the story are nearby.
Admission: 70/ person, living in the ancient town is free.
Transportation: It's close to Hongcun, so you can take a taxi.
Advantages: Compared with the surrounding ancient towns, there are fewer tourists, low degree of commercialization and beautiful environment and scenery.

Bishan Village is located in Biyang Town, yi county, Huangshan City, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. It is one of Huizhou villages with Hongcun as the center. If Hongcun is a classic and Li Xiu is quiet, then Bishan must be literature and art.
Walking into Bishan Village and looking around, you will feel that this is an ordinary water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is nothing special about it. But if you keep walking along the road, you will get something different.
The first is Bishan Bookstore, which is praised by CNN as the most beautiful bookstore in China. Bishan Bookstore, located in the ancestral hall of the village, is a typical Huizhou architecture. When you enter the door, you will see the yard, and when you look down, you will see the green slate with traces of time on it.
Although it is in the ancestral hall, the overall design of the bookstore is not rigid. Here, China's ancient classics and foreign classics coexist in one room, and western-style sofas and Chinese bookcases live next to each other, and small ornaments and gifts with their own characteristics can be seen everywhere. The nose is the unique moist smell of Jiangnan soil, accompanied by book fragrance. At present, it is a literary treasure house immersed in time. In it, I think every young artist will feel something and feel some romance about art and time.
Not far from the bookstore, follow the signs and there is a magical shop hidden in the village. The shopkeeper is a young girl, and the goods are all small handicrafts made by herself. What is particularly worth mentioning is that she is literary and romantic, and has written interesting stories for every commodity. If you have time, you might as well take a moment to have a look and listen. It feels like visiting a magical fairy tale world.
If you have to go, it must be Bishan Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Don't be deceived by its D& "Supply and Marketing Cooperative", here is the first branch of D& in China, which was designed and opened by a Japanese. The design of this shop is both fashionable and has the local characteristics of Jiangnan town. Canvas bags and printed sheets are fashionable and grounded, and they are gifts worth buying.
Bishan Village hasn't gone through much commercial development, and the villagers living here still live a quiet and peaceful life. Here, you can see old people sitting in front of their houses chatting leisurely, and you can also see children playing simple games in twos and threes, and there are all kinds of cats lazily basking in the sun everywhere. Walking with your hands behind your back seems to be one of them, enjoying the sunrise and taking a safe day off.
Admission: free.
Transportation: Drive by car/take a taxi, just start from Hongcun.
Advantages: the village is small and exquisite, and it is the same tourist experience as other attractions.

Xidi is very close to Hongcun, so it is convenient to wait for the bus or carpool. Therefore, when most tourists choose between the two, they always choose Hongcun instead of Xidi. Because Hongcun is more famous and attractive. But then, you will miss the beauty of Xidi.
So, what are the advantages of Xidi? First of all, its area is larger than Hongcun, and the number of Huizhou quadrangles, archways and other ancient buildings preserved in the village is also more than Hongcun. It's easy to get lost in the mysterious alleys extending in all directions, but this is also its attraction-each alley leads tourists to different scenery and stories.
The second is simplicity. Xidi Village was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty. Today, most of the residents in the village have maintained the primitive life of Huizhou families. Whole grains, melons and peppers are everywhere, bacon is hung on the wall, the waterwheel rotates leisurely, the smoke from the kitchen rises, and various scenes full of fireworks can be seen everywhere. Some people say that the beauty of Xidi lies in the details. I believe that the potted plants with wood carving and stone carving here will leave unforgettable memories for you to read in your mind repeatedly.
The third and most different point is that Xidi is located at the southern foot of Huangshan Mountain and the south side of Yixian Basin, with a very beautiful natural environment. There is an observation deck in the village, overlooking the whole ancient village from the commanding heights, and enjoying the unique exquisite beauty of Huizhou architecture with white walls, gray tiles and green trees. This scene reminds people of Tao Yuanming's famous Peach Blossom Garden: the land is flat and spacious, the houses are just like it, and there are fertile fields and beautiful mulberry ponds. In the traffic in the building, chickens and dogs can hear each other. ...
Admission: 94/person
Transportation: The shuttle bus leaves from Hongcun/Carpool.
Advantages: the village area is large and playable.
Recommended playing time: 2-3 hours.
In the fast-paced city life, we should give ourselves such an opportunity to go to an undisturbed country, see the scenery we have never seen before, meet different people, listen to different stories, take a vacation for our hearts, feel the long-lost beauty and find a dream paradise.
