宏村

The Hongcun water system, ancestral halls and Huizhou merchant houses show the planning of Huizhou villages that are still inhabited. The famous reflecting pond is also a community infrastructure and public space, which does not mean it can block roads or enter residences.

西递

Xidi preserves a dense collection of streets, ancestral hall spaces, and decorative dwellings shaped by the wealth of clans and Huizhou merchants. Understanding the inscriptions, spatial hierarchy and water management is more meaningful than just collecting photos of the gatehouse.

徽州古城

The old city of Shexian County preserves the city gates, streets, archways and living blocks related to Huizhou's administration and commerce. Modern businesses and residents share the historical fabric, so a distinction must be made between public monuments and private courtyards.
