Hongcun, with a history of about 900 years, is an extremely beautiful village in Anhui Province. Located under Mount Huang, the village has kept the major Chinese styles from ancient times. It’s also one of UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) World Heritage Sites (世界文化遗产) .
Wander along the old stone streets and lanes, and you will feel like travelling back in time. All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front gate of each household is dotted with red Chinese knots and lanterns. All of them are outlined against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, surrounded by dark green mountains. It’s a living water-ink picture.
Step into a tea house to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by guqin , fills up the house and floats into your hearts, as if you hear birds singing, pines (松) whistling and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and pleasure. Holding the tea cup, some lines of poems on its out layer (层) will come into your sight:
No dust is rising on the road, wet with morning rain,
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
Walk out of the tea house, and go to the open-air theatre. The actors with coloured make-ups (脸绘) are performing on the stage in special clothes. It’s a local opera called Huangmei Opera and different from others, such as Kun Opera , Beijing Opera and Yue Opera . Also, you can enjoy a feast of varieties of quyi : crosstalk, kouji and pingshu .
If you want to feel more about the unique charm of Hongcun, plan a visit to it right now.
