In Chengkan, Discover the Pinnacle of Chinese Aesthetics

Visit Chengkan, a Life Without Obstacles This thousand-year-old Bagua village nestled at the foot of Huangshan Mountain retains the most authentic charm of Huizhou. Stroll through bluestone alleyways by day and carry fish lanterns for lakeside walks by night—it’s like stepping into an eternal Jiangnan dream you’d never want to wake from. 📸 Photo Spots 1⃣️ Yongxing Lake Reflections At dawn, the mirror-like lake reflects white walls and black tiles, while seasonal "sun-drying harvest" scenes (like corn and peppers) along the shore make perfect photo ops 🌶️. 2⃣️ Baolun Pavilion in Luodongshu Ancestral Hall The treasure of the "No.1 Ancestral Hall in Jiangnan," its Ming-dynasty ceiling murals remain astonishingly vibrant! 3⃣️ Huanshu Bridge Filming location for *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*. Capture winding alleys from the bridge for a magazine-worthy shot. 4⃣️ Maze-like Alleys Built according to the *I Ching*’s Bagua principles, every lane holds surprises! Meeting art students sketching adds to the charm 🎨. 🏮 Limited-Time Romance: Nighttime Fish Lantern Parade ✨ Every Fri/Sat at 7 PM, villagers parade with fish lanterns around Yongxing Lake. ✨ Best photo spots: Mid-Lake Pavilion and Huanshu Bridge—lights and water reflections create magic! 💡 Pro tip: Wear light colors or Hanfu for better lighting effects! 🚗 Transport & Tickets 🎫 Entry: ¥107 🚄 High-speed rail: Take a 30-min taxi from "Huangshan North Station." 🚌 Bus: Huizhou Route 17 (infrequent; driving recommended). 🅿️ Parking: North gate (free, limited spots) / South gate (paid, spacious). 🏠 Stay ✨ *Youtan Valley Resort* ✨ Exceeded expectations! Located between Xixinan and Chengkan, backed by bamboo forests with floor-to-ceiling nature views. 20-min drive to Chengkan. Kids loved farm activities—harvesting veggies, feeding animals, and even taking home a gourd 😄. Chengkan
