Hongcun Xiuli Ancient Town, a tranquil masterpiece awaits your visit

✅Hongcun, this name always rings a bell when it comes to Huizhou architecture. However, in its quiet corners, there are also some beautiful ancient villages that are little known. Xiuli Ancient Town is such a forgotten pearl. It not only carries the classic elements of Huizhou architecture, but also integrates the soft beauty of the Jiangnan water town, weaving a unique and charming travel experience. When I first visited this place, I didn't have too many expectations, but Xiuli Ancient Town gave me unexpected surprises with its tranquility and beauty. 📍Xiuli Scenic Area, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province Ticket: 70 yuan (online 30) 🕙8:00-17:00 1️⃣The sedimentation of history and the ancient charm of Huizhou Stepping into the ancient town, you will feel the traces of time. Here, the original village and terrain are cleverly used to move and repair those dilapidated or disappearing ancient houses, striving to preserve the original appearance of Huizhou architecture to the greatest extent. Covered bridges, archways, pavilions, and the vicissitudes of bluestone roads all reveal a strong historical atmosphere. 2️⃣The tranquil and peaceful small town style Although Xiuli Ancient Town is only a few kilometers away from the bustling Hongcun, the atmosphere of the two is completely different. Because Xiuli is not so well-known, the commercial atmosphere here is weak and there are few tourists. Our visit happened to coincide with the meeting. The entire ancient town was quiet and empty, as if it belonged only to us. Walking between the white walls and black tiles, by the small bridge and flowing water, the leisurely pace reveals the delicate and delicate ancient town. 3️⃣Paradise for photography enthusiasts For photography enthusiasts, Xiuli Ancient Town is undoubtedly a rare shooting holy land. Here are both the typical scenery of the Jiangnan water town and the unique style of Huizhou architecture. As a film and television shooting base, the ancient town provides a wide creative space. Whether it is ancient or modern costumes, a casual shot can create a visual blockbuster. It is worth mentioning that the film version of 'Wulin Biography' and the TV series 'Happiness to Thousands of Families' were filmed here. Travel strategy: 1️⃣Bai Biantang Located in the exhibition hall opposite the ancient stage, there are hundreds of plaques on display, each of which records the rise and fall of the family. This is the first time I have seen so many plaques, which are quite ornamental. Later, I learned that the wedding scene at the beginning of 'Happiness to Thousands of Families' was shot here. 2️⃣The filming location of the movie version of 'Wulin Biography' Walking into the Tongfu Inn in the ancient town, a familiar feeling comes on. It seems that you can still see the landlady standing on the stairs in the play, the scholar busy at the counter, Lao Guo wiping the table, and Lao Bai warmly welcoming guests. If you look closely, you can even find the signatures left by the crew, which is undoubtedly a great place for fans to check in.
