2025 Yi County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#2024TravelReview After visiting Hongcun Village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, you can visit the nearby "Returning Garden - Sai Jinhua's Former Residence". This legendary woman in Chinese history played an important role in facilitating the negotiation of the Boxer Protocol because of her proficiency in English and diplomatic affairs. In fact, I only got to know this character from watching TV dramas. Sai Jinhua's Former Residence Scenic Area is located between Huangshan, Xidi and Hongcun. It uses the traditional gardening techniques of Huizhou, including stacking mountains, arranging water, buildings and plants, and integrates many elements of Huizhou culture with the natural beauty of Yixian, which is like a paradise on earth. It is a perfect combination of artificial and natural landscapes. The information exhibition hall displays a large amount of historical materials purchased from home and abroad, photos of Sai Jinhua from different periods, and comments on Sai Jinhua by celebrities such as Liu Bannong, Lu Xun and Xia Yan. I took a quick look around and it was quite interesting. The most important thing is that the garden is very comfortable. #AnhuiTravel #SaiJinhua #Return to the Garden #Hongcun

Located at the foot of Huangshan, the village of Hongcun, which resembles an ink wash painting, may be familiar to those who have seen the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This village, with a history of nearly 900 years, boasts unique and rustic Huizhou-style architecture, as well as serene and beautiful natural scenery and cultural charm. In the past, Hongcun in southern Anhui was a gathering place for literati and scholars, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. Today, it has transformed into a popular tourist destination, yet it remains a hall of cultural and artistic significance. Every spot, such as Nanhu Lake, Nanhu Academy, Moon Pond, Water Canals, Chengzhi Hall, Wang's Ancestral Hall, and Lexu Hall, is full of flavor, as if stepping into a time tunnel. Strolling along the banks of Nanhu Lake, you can often see students sketching and painting this beautiful ink wash scene. The white walls and black tiles, along with the mirror-like lake, leave a deep impression.

November is the best month for travel in autumn, as it is neither as crowded as October nor as cold as December. Here are six lesser-known cities for short trips: 1. Zhina Village: Mid-November is the most beautiful time in Zhina Village, with the whole village bathed in golden ginkgo trees and warm sunlight, making it a great place for a short trip to relax. 2. Tachuan: Early November is the most beautiful time of the year in Tachuan, with autumn colors and cottages looming in the white mist, full of poetry, and a favorite of painters and photographers. 3. Ginkgo Village: If you like fairy-tale villages, November is the most beautiful time for ginkgo trees in Ginkgo Village, with yellow ginkgo leaves decorating the village like a fairy-tale town. 4. Shanwangping Ginkgo Forest Farm: November is the most beautiful time in Shanwangping, with the colorful autumn colors making people intoxicated, and a road dividing two colors, which is breathtakingly beautiful. 5. Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area: The red leaf festival in Guangwu Mountain is still going on in November, and the red leaves have already turned red, adding a bright color to the area, with its natural mountains and waters being magical and beautiful. These places are all good choices for short trips in November due to their unique natural scenery and pleasant climate. 6. Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area: The beautiful Jiuzhai Paradise, with its majestic mountains, pristine white clouds, and blue sky, is like a fairy-tale world. The water is the spirit of Jiuzhaigou, known as the "King of Water Scenery in the World."

#chinatrip Xidi Village, located in the scenic Anhui province, is a beautifully preserved example of ancient Chinese culture and architecture. This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its maze of narrow streets, ancient stone bridges, and traditional white-walled, black-tiled houses, offers visitors a journey back in time to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Xidi's tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings make it an ideal destination for those seeking to experience the essence of rural China.

"The place of lifelong obsession, no dream reaches Huizhou" As smooth as a mirror, with white walls and black tiles, it feels like being in an ink painting. Although it is a very popular tourist spot, Hongcun is indeed worth it. - 👉 Recommended Check-in Route Scenic Area Entrance ➡️ Nanhu Lake ➡️ Nanhu Academy ➡️ Moon Pond ➡️ Shuren Hall ➡️ Taoyuan Residence ➡️ Red and White Ancient Trees 🏃‍♀️ The whole journey takes about 3️⃣ hours - About Transportation 🚅 Take the high-speed train to "Yixian Station", then take a taxi or bus to the destination - 📸 Recommended Photo Spots 1️⃣ Nanhu Lake The filming location of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", located at the entrance of the scenic area, with a mirror-like surface. On rainy days, it looks like an ink painting. 2️⃣ Moon Pond The center of the scenic area and the place that appears most in this article's pictures. Huizhou-style buildings are reflected in the crescent-shaped water, arranged in various shapes. 3️⃣ Hua Bridge A beautiful stone arch bridge. Check-in together with the buildings behind it. To take photos without people, go early. 4️⃣ Renjian Baiwei Restaurant The alley in front of the door can create a sense of depth, with Huizhou-style buildings at the end. 5️⃣ Scenic Area Commercial Street Intersection This intersection has fewer people, but the architectural depth is more concentrated. 6️⃣ Ancient Ginkgo Tree There are many door frames around this location that can be used for composition.

After the Awakening of Insects, the wind becomes noticeably clearer and more moist, and the first to wake up are the rapeseed flowers blooming in sequence in the fields of Lucun, with distant mountains draped in new greenery. Nestled among them, Huangshan Banyan Tree presents itself with a serene and secluded posture. Pastoral idyll, spring warmth and bright scenery, this is the most romantic season of the year. We do not eat out of season, and at the Banyan Tree's White Cloud Restaurant we tasted the first bamboo shoots of the year, crisp and sweet without a hint of bitterness. Huizhou cuisine is characterized by its salty and fresh flavors, emphasizing the original taste and focusing on food therapy. The classic signature dish, stinky mandarin fish, is rich and savory, and the health-preserving chicken soup pot is very suitable for consumption during the spring chill. The side dishes are mostly from the organic garden of the Banyan Tree, offering the freshness and harmlessness of the food. After the meal, we checked into the Xidi Villa, with a 90-square-meter space layout that feels as comfortable and at ease as returning home. At a certain age, the national style genes seem to awaken automatically, and looking at these new Chinese-style decorations, one can only feel that the aesthetics of Eastern classicism are extremely classic, with a natural and original tone that carries a 'tranquil air'. In the afternoon, light pours in, and a thousand-year nap visualizes the passage of time. The nighttime sleep ritual allows the body and mind to be completely relaxed, with a full sense of healing. The Huizhou culture and art form has a long history, and we learned to make Huizhou woodblock prints at the hotel. The woodblock has already been carved by the master, and you can freely use your imagination to paint and render with colors, creating a unique piece of art. At Huangshan Banyan Tree, idling away time is a serious matter. Dwelling, admiring, enjoying, eating, all four senses are satisfied, and there is no need to rush anything.

🌟 If you envy the hustle and bustle of the city, then the tranquility of Huizhou can absolutely heal your soul. Nanhu Lake, like a calm mirror, presents a landscape painting enveloped in morning mist, filled with poetry and the touch of daily life; this is the real Jiangnan in my heart!🏞️🌸 Recommended route: Scenic entrance - Nanhu Lake - Nanhu Academy - Jingde Hall - Yuezhao - Lexu Hall - Jingxiu Hall - Chengzhi Hall - Shuren Hall - Taoyuan Residence - Ancient Red and White Trees 🚗 How to get to Hongcun? Self-driving is an option, especially convenient for tourists from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai areas. Additionally, after arriving at the high-speed rail Yixian station, you can take a taxi or choose to take a bus. 🌞 What's the best season to visit Hongcun? The typical misty rain of Jiangnan in spring and summer best reflects the beauty of Hongcun, especially during March and April when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, adding streaks of color to the ancient town. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow and fall, and there are fewer tourists. After a winter snow, Hongcun, shrouded in rain and mist, offers a completely different atmosphere, with a unique charm. 🎭 What to do in Hongcun? Visit Nanhu Academy to experience the elegance and wisdom of ancient Huizhou culture; find a teahouse in the village to taste the local Huangshan Maofeng tea; stroll through Chengzhi Hall, known as the 'Folk Forbidden City'; watch the famous local live stage drama 'Hongcun A'jue'; taste a variety of Huizhou cuisine in Hongcun. 📸 How to take photos in Hongcun? Nanhu Lake is the classic spot for capturing the panoramic view of Hongcun, with rain and fog creating the impression of being in a Jiangnan landscape painting; the small bridge on Nanhu Lake, where Li Mubai led his horse in the movie 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', is popular with sketch artists; Yuezhao is famous for its crescent-shaped lake surface, known as the 'Sky Mirror' in the ancient village. 🍽️ What's good to eat in Hongcun? You must try the local specialty, stinky mandarin fish, which smells bad but tastes delicious; taste the famous local stinky tofu; try Huangshan baked cakes, dried vegetable and cured meat baked cakes, osmanthus rice wine, and other Huizhou delicacies. 🏡 Accommodation recommendations in Hongcun: Homestays outside the scenic area are close and more convenient, with relatively cheaper prices; staying in a homestay inside the scenic area allows you to experience living in a hundred-year-old Huizhou building, and Hongcun in the morning mist appears even more like a fairyland. 🌳 What other attractions are near Hongcun? Chengkan, Bishan Bookstore, Tunxi Old Street, Xidi, and Tachuan are all worth visiting together.

🌞Huangshan, a popular tourist attraction, attracts countless tourists all year round. It has different beauty in different seasons and is a good place to go on weekends. 🌞Several villages at the foot of the mountain are also famous. Hongcun is the filming location of the well-known "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and is also a good place to absorb phytoncides. I got up early to watch the sunrise, watching the sky change from light orange to egg yolk red, shining on the gray and white house. It's so beautiful❤️ #Sunrise

A village like an antique. Surrounded by mountains, it is tranquil and magical, with a babbling stream, fresh air, clusters of ancient houses, and the preservation of ancient style. The preservation of ancient buildings is no less than Xidi and Hongcun, but it has a tranquility that other ancient villages rarely have. How to play with children!

Nanping, an ancient village in Huizhou, has probably all originated from several TV dramas in modern times. 80% of the shots in 'Chrysanthemum Bean' were completed in Ye's Ancestral Hall (Xuyi Hall). And all the indoor scenes in the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' were filmed in Ye's branch hall next door. Compared with the heavily commercialized Hongcun, Nanping is still inhabited by many locals, but like many rural areas in China, the village is mostly left-behind elderly people. They guard the ancestral homes left by their ancestors, work in this picturesque landscape, remember the merits of their ancestors in their hearts, but cannot continue the glory of their ancestors.

Our wedding anniversary stay at the Shudetang Inn in a traditional Huizhou village in Anhui province was a truly enchanting experience that left us feeling rejuvenated and connected to the rich cultural history of the region.

The rooms were beautifully designed with traditional decor and modern amenities, creating a harmonious blend of the past and present. But perhaps the most fascinating part of our stay was the history of the Huizhou region, which is known for its unique architecture, cuisine, and culture. We learned about the Huizhou merchants, who were known for their business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit, and we explored the stunning architecture of the region, including the ancient Hui-style buildings and the intricate wooden carvings that adorned them. Overall, our stay at the Shudetang Inn in the traditional Huizhou village was a truly memorable experience that left us with a deep appreciation for the region's rich cultural heritage.

Hongcun is an ancient village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. It is famous for its many historical buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Hongcun has a complete water system and a very distinctive "ox"-shaped layout, which is also a typical representative of Huizhou folk houses. Yue Numa is also a famous representative here. As shown in the picture, the houses are reflected in the water, and the clear outline is as perfect as if it was copied and pasted! It has its own unique features both during the day and at night, and the charm of the lights at night is irresistible! In the village, many households sell local souvenirs and snacks to cater to the arrival of tourists. It is very pleasant to walk around and buy some small things! #Huangshan #Yixian #Historic Sites #Beautiful Scenery #China #Hongcun

A must see after the famous Yellow Mountains is the beautiful 宏村 Hongcun village. You'll have the feeling to enter into one of the ancient Chinese paintings: little canals, cobblestones streets, picturesque bridges, white buildings and rice fields all around. Those are some of the reasons why this historical site well deserved the World Heritage recognition. l went during winter time and definitely the fog and cloudy weather gave the environment a more mystical athmosphere! Getting there: 🚌 it’s recommended to take a tour bus from Tunxi Bus Station in downtown Huangshan 🚕 one hour drive by taxi from the Yellow Mountain area. #momentsmission #scenicspotguide #nationalpark #unforgettableexperiences #decembertravel #wonderful #travelinspiration #summervacation #urbanexplorer #naturalwonders #photospot #china #wonderful #thanksgiving #hikingtrails #unesco #historicalplace #nature #hiddengem #architecture #yellowmountain #hongcun #ThisIsChina

Just a stone's throw away from the infamous Hongcun Village, the Mukeng Bamboo Forest makes for a great escape into nature when your needing a little bit of a break from the concrete! I was village hopping all through Anhui, visiting villages like Lucun and Hongcun and more, and decided one afternoon that I needed a bit of greenery in my life. As the name suggests, what you'll find here is a thick forest of bamboo, with a whole mountain covered in tall, lush trees. It's beautiful and tranquil, even on a grey and drizzly day like I experienced. If anything, it added more character to the overall ambiance of the area. And especially after rain, you'll see clouds of mist just enveloping the forest. The walking route here is pretty circular, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Start your tour at the "Western Sea", then head south toward the "Southern Sea". Ticket Price: Around 30 RMB. But if you want to cross the glass bridge, you'll have to pay a bit extra.

While travelling through Anhui, and spending a few nights in Hongcun Village, I decided to splurge out a little bit with a room in Zhang Mansion...and it was well worth it! From beginning to end, the service I experienced was impeccable. I was picked up from the Hongcun Village ticket office, served tea and snacks during check-in, and the hotel itself was simply beautiful - lots of intricate woodwork, antiques, and a cozy little garden. However, do remember that some of these older building lack sound proofed rooms...! If you’re staying as a couple, I would highly recommend staying in their Moonlight Suite with terrace. It was super spacious, the bed was very comfortable, there was a little dining / tea area, and the balcony area was lovely to sit out on. If you want to eat in the hotel, rather than in the village itself, prices are decent and portions are generous too. The meal I had was more than enough, and tasted great too! They have plenty of local dishes and more to suit all palates. Breakfast was probably my favourite yet, a huge bowl of congee that you can continuously top up from + a selection of ingredients to use as toppings - pickled bamboo shoot, green beans, tofu. This was alongside a plate filled to the brim with baozi, mantou, youtiao, sweet potato and a boiled egg. The location of the hotel was pretty convenient too for those looking to stay within Hongcun Village itself. It’s just a short walk from the Moon Pond, allowing you to wander day and night to your heart’s content! Find it: Zhang Mansion, No.26 Chahang Lane, Hongcun Village, Yi County, 245531, Anhui, China #momentsmission

Huangshan Ancient Village Ancient Building B&B, eating Huizhou live in Meisu This homestay can be said to be one of my beginnings. It was the first time I took my dad to Huangshan Bishan three years ago. It is also like a collision. The Universiade was blindly booked, and I did not expect the result to be the reason for me to go there again. 2019 In April, this is the first time I took my dad back to the road and returned to Bishan. He also walked through the old buildings that had been in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China for more than a hundred years - the pig bar bar country inn Bishan Shop, English called PIG'S INN, or PIG'S HEAVEN INN, in my words is pig paradise. The appearance is the same as that of the private room. The damp makes the wall into a pine egg skin, mottled with long hair, to be white, and the wall still clearly preserves the remnants of decades ago. ...". Its just that the seasons are different, the trees are green, and there is a fluffy green moss on the ground. Its just raining. The rain is like pearls hitting duckweed and its alive. [Rooms] The house was originally the home of the wealthy family of Yanfu. The main Hanyu couple used to repair and protect the Huizhou ancient house, inheriting and inheriting the Huizhou culture. The original style of the house still exists, the powder wall and the courtyard are deep, but it is not like other ancient houses, which are dark and damp and broken. The ancient Huizhou pays attention to the "dark room fortune" and likes to experience the Huizhou Ancient Building B&B. The Pig Bar II is a good choice, taking into account the comfort, the original appearance of the building, and the fear of the darkness of the Nanxun embroidery building. Two floors of the big house, even the basic room type of bed room and standard room, it is quite distinctive. The only 10 rooms have TVs, and the 19 bars of the three bars are not. I love watching TV and watching movies, so I paid special attention to this. "Triple" clearly can sleep four people, one big bed and two single beds, but three people on the website. There is a partition between the beds, which maintains a certain degree of privacy and is equipped with a bay window. Family room: It is a private family room on the west side of the backyard. It is spacious and simple, with a big bed and a single bed. I like this the most. Each room is unique in shape. The same bed cover, cushions, sheets and quilt cover are made of cotton hand-stitched, simple, simple, comfortable, color matching and not rustic. In the days of pig paradise, time passes slowly. Outside the courtyard is a peach tree, a farmland, vegetable garden, dog shit deep lane, chicken mulberry tree.

Ink Painting Hongcun Green mountains and black tiles, every step is like walking into a painting. People say that Hongcun is too commercialized and the tickets are expensive, but I think it's really beautiful to walk with your loved one in the early morning when there are few people, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and observe the lives of the villagers. We drove here with good friends after work on Friday. It took about 5 hours from Shanghai to Hongcun. A married couple plus a couple in love, the journey was super lively and fun. We stayed in the scenic area for one night. We got up early in the morning and saw the morning light shining on the white walls and gray tiles, and the reflection in the water was also sparkling. It was super beautiful. We strolled around Nanhu Lake, went back to have breakfast, and then took a nap. When we woke up again, it was already noon. Of course, the girls had to put on beautiful makeup, while the men sat in the courtyard playing games. For lunch, we tried authentic Huizhou cuisine. The stinky mandarin fish was a bit salty, the ribs were super soft and glutinous, it was my first time trying stone fungus, and the chicken soup had a layer of oil floating on it. Overall, it was pretty good, but I prefer the "improved" "Huizhou cuisine" here in Shanghai. Hahaha. In the afternoon, we strolled around Yuezhao leisurely. There are many cultural and creative shops, and the girls couldn't help but stop at every store. As people from Shanghai, we certainly wouldn't miss coffee, so we sat in a popular coffee shop for a while. Finally, we walked to the big trees at the entrance of the village. The two century-old trees are very impressive in person. Weekends should be spent in places like this~ experiencing nature and life~
