In mid-August last year, together with nine to Huangshan, arrange travel for five days, but a full 28 hours is spent on the train. Arrangement of God that we are all 'poor student' it!
PM 15:08 pm train, on time away from the station, we saw the world outside the window had played a gloomy drizzle. Huangshan really worried about the weather, but also looking forward to watch the sunrise in the mountains does. 13 hours of journey, almost two-thirds of the time driving in the dark, but the excitement seems to drive away all the fatigue.
At 4:15 am, arrived at the train station Tunxi, Tunxi Huangshan is still 80 kilometers away from the road, ride cars, finally came 6:00 before the Huangshan Scenic Area. At this point days have been great light, the rise can also see the sky clouds and really take care of our God!
The foot of the mountain much cheaper than hotels, and we live in tourist hotel every night as long as 20 / person. Settled accommodation, eating breakfast, the package of a van, we set off. The first destination is Xidi.
Auto voyage, but the line in the mountains you see waves are not enough to see the scenery, into the lane, the street, more and more local people, and then see the distance appears a bluestone arch, this is the entrance of the Xidi. Entire villages left behind hundreds of buildings more fully alive when the Ming and Qing architecture, the village from east to west 700 meters, 300 meters from north to south, and now home to more than 300 families. Dubbed the "Xidi" because there is a small river flowing through the village, and flows to the west. In the history of Xidi is well-known "culture" village style prosperity since ancient times, out of many an officer of the VIP. He was reportedly given the surname Hu is the most common surname in the village, Village through the massive arch that is the status of Hu extended family prominent symbol. Past the original nine St. Paul today, leaving only the front of this.
Xidi into the village, almost like entering a maze, no wonder that the village tour guide said, "without me, you will get lost." Walking in the winding, narrow alleys, the two sides which attracts every household to others, horse wall, carved leaking window, high-threshold, the different styles represented the beginning of this household's social status. The village there is a wooden structure of the pavilions (see the album in the photo), it is said in ancient Miss Ze Xu Gui - throwing Hydrangea place. Can imagine a few hundred years ago, a young lady dressed in costume in hand to decide their own destiny after the half-hydrangea, in the pavilion on the lingering uncertainty and indecisive. . . Other old house in the village, some delicate garden layout, lifelike stone, wood carving, calligraphy and painting complete; a large compound and even its own stage. Specifically guide took us to the "Lu Futang" It is said that Zhaizi was built in Kangxi years, simple and elegant furnishings, the book is full of the scent of the classroom there is a couplet, wrote "Reading a good business will be good good good efficiency, entrepreneurship is difficult hard Shoucheng is hard to know, "It seems a few hundred years ago, Confucianism is still worthy of a careful recollection of modern youth.
Do not patronize a look at old house, where almost all homes have some small trading business, they sell fake antiques, but also enough for you play with a burst of. There are traditional snacks here, there are people learning by doing selling, it seems like a cake, and taste kinda incense, but unfortunately forgot what it had done.
