Xidi Ancient Village – A 1,000-Year-Old Ink-Wash Painting

#chinatravel

Nestled in the emerald valleys of Huangshan, this UNESCO-listed gem preserves 124 Ming-Qing dynasty residences with their original white walls, black tiles, and ornate stone carvings. Founded in 1047 AD, Xidi was built by the Hu clan, whose merchant princes turned profits into poetic architecture.
