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.

屯溪老街与黎阳片区

Tunxi Linjiang Commercial Street preserves the Huizhou shophouse style while serving the contemporary city; adjacent streets and alleys can expand the horizon beyond souvenir retail. You can better observe the local rhythm in the early morning or evening, but the upstairs and backyard are still private unless open.
