a journey back through a thousand years of history

✨If Jiangnan is like a watercolor painting, Huizhou is the bold ink that brings the scene to life with depth and vibrancy.

Located in southern Anhui Province, Huizhou was once a prosperous land during the Ming and Qing dynasties, renowned as the cradle of “Huizhou Culture” – home to scholars, calligraphy masters, merchants, and exquisite traditional architecture. White walls and black-tiled roofs, harmonious gardens nestled among mountains and rivers, ancient stone bridges, and cobblestone streets create a scenery straight out of a historical drama.

In Huizhou, visitors can stroll through ancient towns like Hongcun and Xidi – celebrated as “living museums of Chinese residential architecture” – and immerse themselves in art through woodblock prints, intricate carvings, and traditional opera performances. Local cuisine leaves a lasting impression, with specialties such as stinky tofu, steamed river fish, and tender bamboo shoots.

A trip to Huizhou is a journey back through a thousand years of history, where past and present intertwine, and every step allows you to feel the passage of time in the rooftops, the morning mist, and the green mountains.
