Embarking on a journey to visit 100 destinations after resigning, today’s destination – Hongcun, Anhui! 🚗 To immerse myself in the idyllic ink-wash countryside, I traversed numerous winding mountain roads until arriving at Hongcun, where I was greeted by the charming Huizhou-style architecture. 🏘️ It was indeed worth the trip!
The drive from Wuyuan to Hongcun took approximately 2 hours, and finding parking in the designated parking area was relatively convenient. 🅿️ The entrance fee was 94r per person, with students enjoying free entry. 🎫 We spent half a day exploring the village, with an estimated per-person expenditure of over 200 yuan. 💰
Here are some recommended spots in Hongcun for capturing stunning photographs:
- Yuezhao Pond: The clear waters reflect the surrounding scenery, creating beautiful reflections in your photos.
- Narrow Alleys: The village’s unique alleyways offer ample photo opportunities, with each one exuding a charming atmosphere.
- South Lake: Experience the on-site feel of the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
- Old Times Café: The second-floor windows provide excellent viewpoints for capturing stunning photos.
