Hongcun Ancient Village

Reviewed By mypocketsareempty - Singapore, Singapore

A lovely little old town with well preserved Hui style architecture and about 700 years of history. There are guided tours (in Chinese) that run every 10 minutes from the South entrance of the town. Possible to do as a day trip, or combined with some of the other attractions around the region.

Lucun Village

Reviewed By TanSuoTravel - London, United Kingdom

Unlike the villages of Hongcun and Xidi in Anhui province, the quaint village of Lucun is relatively unknown by international and domestic tourists alike, which means you're likely to have the entire place to yourself! We recommend visiting in either Spring, when you can experience the delicate blossoms surrounding the village, or Autumn, as the autumnal colours perfectly complement the picturesque beauty of the ancient buildings. Lucun is one of many villages in Anhui province that carry deep significance in the region, as they were once part of an ancient region known as "Huizhou" that was culturally distinct from the rest of the province. Many of the mansions within Lucun were thus built by wealthy Hui merchants, who passed them down through their clans for generations. The most famous mansion in Lucun is known as Zhicheng Hall, which dates back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and was built by a wealthy merchant known as Lu Bangxie or "Lu the Millionaire"! What made our visit to the hall so special was that we were able to meet the current owner, who is the oldest living member of the Lu family and who still uses the mansion as his home. Unlike other Hui villages, which have been developed for tourism, Lucun is one of the last remaining villages where the historical buildings still serve as the residential homes for their noble families. For this reason, we'd absolutely recommend paying it a visit, as it is only about a 20-minute walk away from Hongcun! If you do decide to visit, be sure to follow the hiking path at the back of the village. This leads to a viewing platform, where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the village from above.
