📍 Hongcun, known as "China's Painted Village," is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Every brick, tile, and leaf tells an ancient story.
🎫 Tickets: Online ticket - 94 RMB, valid for unlimited entry over 3 days.
🏮Must-Visit Attractions:
🔹South Lake: The iconic landmark of Hongcun. The small bridge over the lake is a classic scene from the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." 
🔹South Lake Academy: Once a private school in Hongcun, the scent of ink seems to linger. The Wenchang Pavilion and Wanghu Building are great spots for photography.
🔹Moon Pond: Located in the center of the village, this crescent-shaped pond symbolizes the cycles of the moon. The reflection of white walls and black tiles in the clear water creates a picturesque scene. The most famous photos of Hongcun are often taken here, especially at dawn or sunset. 
💡Travel Tips:
🔸Best Times for Photos: Morning and evening are ideal for photography. Head out early to avoid the crowds.
🔸Check the weather forecast before your trip. Rainy days enhance the distinctive features of Huizhou architecture.
