Hongcun is no longer far away, and it also offers better value for money

Free travel is here for a limited time, allowing you to fully enjoy the charm of Huangshan Yi County. The misty rain lingers over Sanjie Street, and the ninety-nine alleys come to life. The landscape of southern Anhui is picturesque, and its elegance is fully displayed in Hongcun. In a place of utter devotion, one dreams not of Huizhou. The misty rain has soaked Sanjie Street and the ninety-nine alleys, and the ink-wash Jiangnan of southern Anhui is displayed one by one in Hongcun. In summer, Chengkan is in my heart, and the sight of lotus leaves reaching to the sky arouses endless longing. Yet, fate has brought me to Huangshan Yi County in winter. It is at this time that Yi County welcomes the opening of the Changjinghuang High-Speed Rail. With a high-speed rail ticket to Yi County, you can not only enjoy the benefit of free admission to Yi County's attractions but also deduct the cost of one night's accommodation. Therefore, a free visit to Hongcun is too tempting! Hongcun is as affectionate as water. As soon as you set foot in Hongcun, you can see Nanhu Lake and the Painted Bridge. This is also the place where Li Mubai led his horse in the movie 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. Stroll to the Hongcun Post Office, pick a favorite cultural or fridge magnet, and take it home to remember. At Nanhu Academy, experience the Jiangnan style unique to Huizhou and the literary thoughts of the ancients. At the center of Hongcun is a crescent-shaped Moon Pond. The ancients valued the waxing and waning of the moon, the fullness and spilling of water, hence the special shape of this Moon Pond. Hongcun is full of people sketching, where you can appreciate the style of Hongcun through others' eyes and paintings. Recommended Hongcun tour route: Start from Nanhu Lake, pass by Nanhu Academy, Jingde Hall, Moon Pond, Wang's Ancestral Hall, Chengzhi Hall/DeYi Hall, Shuren Hall, Peach Blossom Residence, and finally reach the ancient red and white trees. If time allows, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongcun for one night. The morning mist is lingering, and the evening is golden dusk. If you encounter a light drizzle, the poetic and picturesque charm of Huizhou Jiangnan will unfold before your eyes. Yi County free travel guide: Starting from December 27, 2023, Yi County East High-Speed Rail Station will be open for one month. With a high-speed rail ticket to Yi County East Station, you can enjoy free admission to 14 attractions in Yi County. The free admission policy for Hongcun and Xidi will last until January 31, 2024. In addition, the high-speed rail ticket can also be used to deduct one night's accommodation fee in Yi County, with a limit of 300 yuan. Just participate in the 'Huihuang Tour' high-speed rail subsidy tour, and submit the relevant materials according to the instructions to participate. Transportation in Hongcun: First, there is a Route 8 tourist express line between Hongcun and Yi County East Station, with a bus every half hour, costing 8 yuan for the whole journey. Second, there are fixed departures from Hongcun to Huangshan North Station, with 10 buses from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, taking 100 minutes, costing 30 yuan per person. Third, there is also a fixed-time tourist bus between Hongcun and Xidi Ancient Village. Fourth, if there is a larger group, you can choose a ride-hailing car, which is more convenient. Hongcun is no longer far away, and it also offers better value for money. Free travel is here for a limited time, allowing you to fully enjoy the charm of Huangshan Yi County.

Hongcun Village

🏮 Hongcun Village – A Dreamy Escape into Ancient China! 📍 Location: Hongcun Village (宏村), Yi County, Huangshan, Anhui Province ⭐ Rating: 5/5 📸 Photo Spot Highlight: The iconic Moon Pond (月沼) at sunrise or sunset—perfect reflections of Hui-style architecture! My Experience: Stepping into Hongcun felt like wandering into an ink-wash painting. This UNESCO-listed village (over 900 years old!) is a masterpiece of Hui Dynasty architecture, with its black-and-white houses, stone bridges, and tranquil canals. I captured a photo of the Moon Pond as the golden light kissed the ancient eaves—pure magic! Why Visit? ✔ Living Art: The village inspired scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ✔ Photographer’s Paradise: Morning mist and lantern-lit nights are surreal. ✔ Cultural Depth: Explore ancestral halls like Chengzhi Hall (承志堂) with intricate wood carvings. Pro Tips: Arrive early (6-7am) to avoid crowds and catch mist rising over the ponds. Try local snacks: Sticky rice cakes (徽州毛豆腐) and tea from nearby Mount Huangshan.#hongcun #china #huangshan
