East China’s Anhui Province is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases China’s past glory with local characteristics.
Lying under the famous Mount Huangshan, the 900-year-old village of Hongcun has kept its tranquil vibe and distinctive Hui-style architecture – one of the major Chinese architectural styles from ancient times.
Apart from ancient residences, Hongcun highlights gorgeous water scenery. Moon Pond, a large semicircular artificial lake in the center of the village, is always in the spotlight. The mirror-like stillness of the water creates a calming atmosphere, perfect for some instagram-worthy pictures.
