Ancient charm, the time bookmark of Hougou Village

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025
Hougou Ancient Village is like a quietly open book of time. The bluestone pavements have gleamed softly with the passage of time. Ancient houses and courtyards are scattered along the hillside, and the gatehouse plaques still bear witness to the glory of the past. Entering the village, the gray tiles and white walls contrast beautifully with the ancient locust trees. The sound of a skilled craftsman hammering wooden dowels seems to reach my ears, and this rustic beauty quietly lingers between the morning mist and the setting sun. Free from excessive commercial embellishments, this place preserves a rare authenticity, allowing one to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of life during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Wandering through the village, opening a carved wooden door at random reveals square courtyards and tranquil courtyards. The story of the ancient village flows through the details. Looking up, birds fly freely beneath the eaves; looking down, the moss growing in the cracks of the mottled stones bears witness to the endurance of time. The tranquility here allows one to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and in the fleeting moments of a gentle breeze, one's mind returns to peace. Hougou Ancient Village is more than just a tourist attraction; it serves as a phonograph of memories, reminding us, even as we pursue modern life, to remember the tranquility and deep affection of ancient lands.
