Travel Notes | The Huizhou I took photos of in those years: pink walls and black tiles, Tangyue Archway and Xin'an River

"I have never dreamed of going to Huizhou"

Huizhou is an important birthplace of Chinese prehistoric civilization. There are too many beautiful ancient villages and towns here, each one of which is fascinating. There are the undulating horse-head walls, the smoke from the cooking pots reflecting the setting sun on the hilltops, and the ancestral halls sleeping in the long history; there are also the patios where all the sunlight falls, and the walking tower where the girls in the boudoir hide their worries. Quiet and poetic, moving but not pretentious, with white walls and black tiles, green mountains and green waters, it is poetic and picturesque, so beautiful. There are many ancient villages and towns hidden among them. They may seem inconspicuous, but they are all picturesque with ink mountains and green mountains, which is haunting.

The ancient gray walls, the stone slabs on the old streets, the charm of the ancient bridges, the exquisite small buildings, the remaining archways, the beautiful mountains, the flowing creeks, the people in the mountains... When encountering all these, everyone will be in awe. Don't hesitate to slow down the pace and slow down the time.

Here, flowers bloom quietly, water flows quietly, fish fish quietly, people grow old quietly, and life passes quietly... Perhaps only by visiting can you know what "quiet years are good" means.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the humanities are gathered together, the ancient customs remain the same, the folk customs are simple, the pink walls and black tiles are surrounded by green mountains and green waters, it is poetic and picturesque, so beautiful! Many people who are tired of the city have also found their rural dream here and settled down to live...

When I come here in autumn, I feel like I have fallen into a picturesque and peaceful world: there are undulating dark mountains in the distance, and patches of golden woods nearby. The bright yellow leaves surrounding the village and embankments embellish this simple and elegant ancient village. It's extremely bright, like an autumn color picture of Huizhou style!

The Tangyue Archway Group, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Archways", has seven archways that are simple and elegant. Whether viewed from the front or from the back, they are all in the order of "loyalty, filial piety, festival, and righteousness". Each archway has A touching and emotionally charged story.

With ancient ancestral halls, ancient houses, and ancient pavilions, the natural beauty and cultural heritage are so perfectly combined, how can it not make people feel comfortable!

It is divided into eight parts by mountains and one part by water, and half by farmland and manors. The winding Xin'an River is the mother river of Huizhou and is also known as the "Oriental Danube River". It perfectly interprets the beauty of Huizhou.

The Xin'an River is about a hundred miles long. It is a pearl on the Huangshan-Huizhou ancient city She County-Qiandao Lake tourist route. It is a famous "Tang Poetry Road" tourist route at home and abroad. The ancient buildings in the village look like a flowing landscape scroll, so it is called Xin'anjiang Baili Gallery.

Li Bai once got inspiration from this place: "The clear stream clears my heart, and the color of the water is different from other waters. I ask the Xin'an River, why is it like this? People walk in the mirror, and birds pass through the screen."

If all your senses and thoughts flow through the ancient and vibrant cultural atmosphere full of blue bricks, ancient temples, small bridges, flowing water, people, sea of ​​flowers, songs and dances, etc., then the destination must be Huizhou!
