The ancient residences are scattered in an orderly manner, with the architectural layout arranged according to the Bagua formation, centered around Zhongchi, extending in all directions. Every step is a footprint of history, every brick and tile tells a story of the past. 📍There are many main attractions to check in, such as the Grand Hall, the Grand Sutra Hall, the ancient commercial street, the Chancellor's Ancestral Hall... Each place is worth savoring. Especially the Tianyi Hall, standing at the highest point of the village, overlooking the entire village, it feels like you can see the whole history at a glance. The water lilies in the pond are even more breathtaking, blooming most gorgeously before noon, and if you arrive late, you can only admire their closed posture. 🌸Strolling in the village, it's as if you can hear the echoes of history, feel the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients. Everything here is so real, so vivid, as if time has stood still, intoxicating visitors. 🍂The memory of that autumn six years ago is still clear, the fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard was overwhelming, refreshing the heart and mind.
