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.

黄山风景区

Huangshan's granite peaks, pine trees, sea of clouds and historical mountain roads form a world heritage cultural landscape. Ropeways shorten ascents but do not eliminate exposed steps, weather risks and huge distances; a route should be chosen and closures obeyed.
