Hongcun
2014-04-18

Do you know how many ancient villages are there in Anhui? More than one hundred. "AH" Can't believe it while I got this information from the tourist book. Long time ago, I knew Hongcun is one of the most beautiful villages in China. I was eager to visit it and enjoy her beauty.

Hongcun is a village with long history and full of magic. If I haven't been to, I can't say any word about it. Before going there, I didn't care whether the history is real or not, I didn't care how it will develop, moreover, I didn't care whether it is much business-like area. Although I was there in Chinese New Year, there were many many people crowded. It is incredibly, isn't it? My parents won't leave home during this big festival. In my opinion, there should be few people going out for a tour during spring festival because it is a holiday for family-together. To my family, I'm a crazy girl who don't like be back home with family and go out to enjoy lonely.

The water is very very clear here, but some places are with dirty water. It can't influence the whole view. I enjoy the peace and the view very much. It is a small village with a cow's design. If you come here, the first thing, you should listen to the introduction from the guide. You can learn a lot.

While I see the sunrise behind the Mountain at 8:00 a.m., the sun will be back at 10:00 a.m.. I have never seen this before, I considered the sun will go forward and never backward.

I have been to some ancient villages in China, but I won't go to visit them again, no worth it. However, if I have time, I would like to come to Hongcun again, but in off season of tour. And believe me, it is worthy to visit this village while you don't know where you should take a tour.
