Xiaocao is a lover of ancient town depth, and has been to many ancient towns and villages.

In this issue, I will share a few ancient towns or villages that I personally like and have more characteristics.

In no particular order, let's take a look.

1. Hiromura

Hongcun is a masterpiece of Hui-style architecture.

The white walls and black tiles satisfy all of our impressions of the former Huizhou villages.

There are mountains in the distance and buildings nearby, and the reflection in the water form a traditional Chinese painting style with strong ink charm. It is one of the must-visit destinations for people who like to take pictures in this life, and it is also a base for many art students to sketch.

2. Wuzhen

Wuzhen is one of the six ancient water towns in Jiangnan and is a classic ancient town travel destination.

It is beautiful and quiet, because Liu Ruoying's phrase "I have been here, but I have never left" has made this place popular for 20 years. The four old streets in the southeast, southwest and northwest divide the ancient town into Dongzha, Xizha, Nanzha and Beizha, and usually as tourist destinations, Dongzha and Xizha are the two places with different tastes. The east gate is quaint, and the west gate is exquisite.

Although Wuzhen is now very commercial, it has to be said that it is a very good tourism product to operate, and the overall nature of the scenic spot is very good, and it is a place where you can immerse yourself in experiencing the water town. It's that tickets are expensive.

Attached is Xiaocao's travel diary in Wuzhen to share with you:

3. Huang Yao

Compared with the previously mentioned Wuzhen, Huangyao is an ancient town with a low degree of commercialization, and it is still relatively primitive. If you want to find a quiet town to spend a weekend, Huangyao is a good choice.

Walking into Huangyao, every bluestone slab, every ancient banyan tree, and every ancient building of the Ming and Qing dynasties together tell the elegance and simplicity of Huangyao.

4. Zhenyuan

Zhenyuan Ancient Town of Guizhou, located on the bank of the Wuyang River in the southeast of Qian, has one of the few mountain cliff building communities in China.

Zhenyuan is especially known for the Dragon Boat Festival, which is one of the three major dragon boat racing cultural towns in China, and you can see the very grand Dragon Boat Festival activities there.

Zhenyuan is different from other ancient towns and village attractions, it is no different from the small towns we usually live in, but there will be some ancient houses and monuments distributed in the town, which we need to slowly find and discover by ourselves.

5. Xindu Bridge

Xinduqiao is the first Tibetan-style village on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line and is a good place to experience Tibetan customs.

The river valley around Xinduqiao is a stunning landscape, with brightly colored Tibetan houses scattered with sunny, blue skies and green fields, and is known by many as a photographer's paradise.

There are also attractions such as Tagong Grassland and Yuzixi near Xinduqiao Town, which is a good place to see snowy mountains and meadows.

6. Litang

Litang, the small town of Ganzi, came out of the circle with the explosion of Ding Zhen.

Litang is a town with a story, which means "vast grass dam" in Tibetan, it is the highest city in the world, and the famous Tibetan poet (6th Dalai Lama) Cangyang Gyatso once wrote poems expressing his love for Litang for ten minutes.

Xiaocao came to Litang by car along the 318 and rested in the ancient town of Letong in Litang for an afternoon. There is a small café next to the Cangyang Gyatso Memorial Museum in the ancient town, where you can drink tea, chat, and read a book.

However, the altitude of Litang is relatively high (4000 meters), and I felt some high anti-nausea (headache) on the day I went, which needs to be noted.

7. Wuyuan

Wuyuan is located at the junction of Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, and is known as "the most beautiful village in China".

In the off-season when there are few people, you can find an ancient village to live for a few days, visit the village, and admire the Huipai residential architecture.

The most beautiful season in Wuyuan is when the rape blossoms bloom in spring, and when the autumn leaves are full of autumn and every family is basking in autumn.

8. Shuhe

Shuhe Ancient Town is not far from Lijiang Ancient Town, it can be said that Lijiang Ancient Town has some tourism resources, all here, but it does not have the bustle of Lijiang Ancient Town, and there is a rare tranquility of tourist attractions.

The houses here are scattered, the water is clear, far from commercialization, and all that remains in the town is the traces of the years on the bluestone slabs, and the ancient charm it has precipitated for thousands of years.

9. Heshun

Heshun is located in Tengchong, which is the Tengchong of the "Tengchong-Mohe Line" in the previous geography class.

There is a saying, "The beauty of Tengchong, beauty in harmony". Heshun Ancient Town is the most representative place in Tengchong. Because it is located on the border of the motherland, there are many overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese families here, and it is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in China.

10. Build water

Also in Yunnan, Jianshui Ancient City has many ancient buildings and many are well preserved, which is very valuable.

In addition to the ancient houses, temples and other paid attractions in the ancient town, take a walk in the corner alleys of the ancient city, and you can better experience the leisurely life and ancient meaning in the ancient city.

In addition, there is a small train to ride.
