🏮 Hongcun Village – A Dreamy

🏮 Hongcun Village – A Dreamy Escape into Ancient China!
📍 Location: Hongcun Village (宏村), Yi County, Huangshan, Anhui Province
⭐ Rating: 5/5
📸 Photo Spot Highlight: The iconic Moon Pond (月沼) at sunrise or sunset—perfect reflections of Hui-style architecture!
My Experience:
Stepping into Hongcun felt like wandering into an ink-wash painting. This UNESCO-listed village (over 900 years old!) is a masterpiece of Hui Dynasty architecture, with its black-and-white houses, stone bridges, and tranquil canals. I captured a photo of the Moon Pond as the golden light kissed the ancient eaves—pure magic!

Pro Tips:
Arrive early (6-7am) to avoid crowds and catch mist rising over the ponds.
