Step back in time and visit the World Heritage Site of Hongcun Ancient Village, a charming village that dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Situated in the foothills of the Yellow Mountain, the tiny settlement is renowned for its well-preserved Anhui architecture and the marvelous arrangement of its houses, bridges, and canals, said to resemble the shape of an ox when viewed from above.

黄山市内から直通バスで1時間強で宏村に来れます。街並みを見るだけの観光地なので2時間もあれば宏村は十分だと思います。午前に宏村、午後に西逓を廻って市内に帰ることも可能でしょう。宏村と西逓の間には黟县汽车站(バスターミナル)があり2元程度(各30分で行けます)で頻発してます。余裕があれば宏村の月沼の畔にある宿に泊まるのがオススメ。 more »

From Huangshan city come to the villages in slightly over one hour by direct bus. Tourist town just because 2 hours the villages would suffice I think. Am about Xidi villages, at a home in the city. From Hongcun and Xidi 黟县 Faw-car railway station (bus station), increasingly frequent in the 2 degree (can be reached in 30 minutes each). Staying at the hotel is on the banks of the swamp villages-if you can afford it is recommended.
