Xidi Hongcun is Anhui (black multi) County, two adjacent villages have been designated as world cultural heritage.
Because the two villages are known to Emblem style. So, always together.
Because it was always put together, so some people would think that this is a place names, refers to the town called Hongcun Xidi place. So wish to do so on the wrong, wrong, but also does not matter, the two villages is indeed similar.
We swim and Jiulong Pu jadeite valley at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, after spending an hour a Xidi first is already noon. The first impression of the locals is very bad, because it encountered a family restaurant proprietress vowed to deceive us that all local restaurants are closed out of business because of SARS's sake, let us drive to other places to eat. But in fact went out of business only to her family hotels, go to her house next door to the hotel one asked, as usual. The proprietress of our mind deceive twisted so badly, they do not do business, but also other people do business, but also crucial that we went to town to eat.
4 yuan to spend the money in the village stuttering for a bowl of vegetables pork noodles, village tour. Tickets 45.
Entrance to the village is getting bigger the arch, erected in the empty one on the ground. Tour guide boasted that torii carving is very delicate, very taste and so on, but it seems to me nothing pretty fellow, such a thing erected at the entrance to the village, giving a feeling of depression. Said when there were more than a dozen, think Kanba ... ... the village is surrounded by farmland a terrain is flat, there is no river or something, scenery so-so.
Get in the village to go, I feel the whole building is still pretty good, I heard that the original reservation Xidi only 1 / 3, the rest are destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, it seems Xidi former is quite well-off a large village.
It seems looked, there is one regret is that a lot of logo-style building, where windows have been rebuilt before. Traditional-style houses have all adopted the emblem of a narrow window, and many houses Xidi has a narrow window of his home turned into a traditional style is now a large window, not retro style, the building has some damage.
Xidi village there are many antique and saw an antique shop there selling four old mahogany inlaid marble pendant early Republican era, style, and my family very much with the set of the early Republican era mahogany furniture, such as buying home, will certainly be able Tim Hall's home to me a lot of color. Results shops asking price of 2,000 yuan was not willing to buy it, then consider also some regret.
2 hours later, we read left to sum up the village's building is good, but the surrounding landscape in general, there is no echo the beauty. And although Xidi rural areas, has been more money-minded, men and women weave pastoral farming landscape disappeared, so I do not love it.
After a black multi-county, and we then go to hongcun. Hongcun ticket is 55 yuan, at the entrance to the village met Huangshan Huizhou hotel proprietress Miss SHAO, (phone 13905596084/0559-5562813) reminds us of 5:30 after the person responsible for fees of any work, you can not buy a ticket out of the casual. Away from the 5:30 time still early, we decided to go to Hongcun Huizhou first floor of the side known as "wood floor" have a look. To put their luggage Village, Huangshan Huizhou hotels and wife borrowed three bicycle without brakes, I MR. HUA go along with the boss ride. 15-minute bike ride to get a small village, to spend 20 yuan tickets (priced at 26, bargain) and they can see "Huizhou first floor," the. It was a Hui-style buildings, the eight buildings, are some wood carvings, in my layman seems more general, first of all wood is not good, nor is it a very fine carving Furthermore, it is better Suzhou Dongshan carved floor. The only bright spot there is a floor in the living room ceiling murals painted with a butterfly style, more refined product. If you do not remember correctly, this is my first one in China to see the ceiling with frescoes of the houses.
From the wood floor back to the road would be very Hongcun enjoy. Riding a bicycle to go for a very long downhill, very easy. Looked at side of the road carriage of goods slowly pulling line, rice paddies and water buffaloes in cultivated areas, small river ducks swimming, as well as farmers in the planting, vibrant picture. Distant mountains and surrounded by a breeze Xu years, a good school of rural scenery!
Back after the entrance to the village of Huangshan Huizhou hotels a big meal, 130 yuan four copies, taste good. At this time Lake House Inn Xin Guo Hongqin amiable old aunt to pick us on the village of. (SARS price, 60 yuan 3 beds, facilities, Tel: 05,595,541,287)
Hongcun beautiful village is the former is a man dug a river, carrying the tree side of the river, the river types of the Lotus (now not open). White walls and black tiles on the entire village in the reflection in the water. Need to come to village to a small stone bridge. Bridge edge is our lovely lake in Xin House Inn in! Three floors of the traditional small houses, hanging lanterns. Moon gate into a small courtyard, Inn rooms have fenced terrace during the day can see the river scenery can be the stars at night. :) The absolute visual room, (small building itself is a landscape, a small upstairs can also look at the landscape) I think it was the best accommodation Hongcun o'clock.
Listening to acoustic Washeng sleep the next day 5:00 get up out of the village stroll, for a good breakfast out of the village. Hongcun morning, the villagers were all washed clean slate of shabu, and some have begun planting a. The middle of the village of half-moon cutting artificial reservoirs, there are ducks swimming, there are the villagers where they brush their teeth, water pond is a patchwork of old houses, beautiful. Hongcun and Xidi different places within each lane edge Hongcun have drains, so the visual Shanghao 1:00 Therefore, although the building seems almost more than Xidi, but summoned up the courage. The antique shops in the village claimed to be found in a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain pots, there is light above the cross patterns and Latin letters. I have seen in the British Museum, like porcelain, that year's foreign trade order, to customize the following sample shipped to Europe through the Maritime Silk Road to go. I do not know if this is a local or foreign trade are not using shipped out products. If it is local use, but added more worthy of treasure. Asked the owner, he does not know, only know that the Ming dynasty. Owner asking price 1000 yuan, I'm not sure it really did not buy all the goods. Later, the landlord opened the shop so that the landlord's husband made a bamboo cup, and bought a bamboo pen as souvenirs.
Out of the village, food, Huangshan Huizhou hotels near the boss said that there is a small village called Ta Chuan, red maple leaf in autumn when the Ta Chuan Autumn is also regarded as a local scene, although it never leaves, but good, and she brought no tickets . So we rented a small pickup vehicles, the price of 20 yuan to take us to the Ta Chuan, Hong Village, and go back to turn black multi-county coach. Cheap cheap. I offered to sit in the back Cha Du-ri, 270-degree viewing angle viewing the countryside.
Ta Chuan is a very small village, it is estimated tens of families who also have pig dogs, due to quite high, looked down from high indeed very beautiful scenery. However, to close 20 yuan tickets for a bit can not be justified, but fortunately we have no money.
After dinner, go to the black over the county seat, and replace dirty smelly bus to Tunxi catch the train fare 8. Conductor small group is very COOL, never speak to eyes and body language to express meaning, what we do also know everything. On the road to see the village under construction, "former residence of Sai Jinhua", very surprised! Sai Jinhua is estimated that she could not think of killing the villagers in her after birth, actually would be so cherish the memory of her, so she × ?ê ? rebuilt.
Back to Tunxi only 4:00 more to the 10:22 train, you must separate the idle stroll to the well-known local streets. Quite a long street to see the end from scratch and sell things on it a few samples: pots, tea, four treasures. Quite boring. Out to see Xin'anjiang Street and the river a 500-year-old bridge. To see a sign to know the local battered by flooding, where every five years, where there are flooded, where every ten years where there are flooded every 20 years, 30 years, are clearly spelled out, finally said, every fifty years once the city flooded.
Tunxi due to the support of the tourism industry, and is pretty busy in the evening for dinner, looking for a home the best hotels, very cheap, 100 yuan can not eat it, and Anhui dishes quite good to eat. To the train station, back to Shanghai, travel over, go home, all the way no words.
The combination of the last to Wuyuan tourism perception, the overall impression is that Huizhou is a very conservative place, alien civilization, it is difficult at the local base, it is also more difficult to spread the Gospel. God is willing to open the day the people's minds at an early date, Amen.
Last nagging a few: see pastoral scenes and watch Huizhou architecture, experience the farm life, where to go then? Xidi Hongcun or Wuyuan? I do a comparison for everyone to travel a reference, the following are all of one's statements:
1. Transport: Xidi Hongcun Xidi Hongcun can win the way to go to Huangshan, and the distance between the village and village, the relatively recent;
Wuyuan Village and the distance between the villages of the need to car rental, and poor road conditions.
2. Folklorama: Wuyuan Wuyuan wins more honest folk customs, the villagers are very enthusiastic, and the primitive state of survival has not yet been damaged tourism industry.
3. Food: Wuyuan very cheap to eat very good wins, take the ground chicken, red carp, the local dish is tea, You Chao, and are particularly tasty, as well as specialty afternoon tea, taste good.
4. Shopping: Xidi Hongcun wins in both the dubious authenticity sell all kinds of antiques, but the development of Xidi tourist souvenirs are doing better, there are all kinds of books, postcards, gadgets for sale, as well as selling stone pot . Wuyuan is worth buying if only agricultural commodities such as tea oil, afternoon tea, go to chicken, and carp.
5. Living conditions: flat still so-so.
6. Natural scenery: Wuyuan W is known as China's most beautiful rural areas there is a point.
7. Construction of America: Wuyuan wins, at least in my opinion, Wuyuan building windows had not been altered, and this point Xidi Hongcun to compare. And Wu-Ling Bridge pits the source of small villages where buildings and surrounding landscape of harmony, Xidi Hongcun can not be matched. Xidi Hongcun only win in the village larger. Of course, if you want to see the words of St. Paul, Xidi a block, and Wuyuan seems to be no.
In summary, my suggestion is to Wuyuan better, of course, people have their own good, some people may not like Xidi Hongcun.
End. Thank you.
