There's a hidden gem called Xiuli near Hongcun Village

Ladies, I've found another great place! Hidden in southern Anhui, Xiuli Film and Television Village is a rare gem of an ancient town. It doesn't have the over-commercialized feel of the old streets, nor is it as crowded as Hongcun Village. ✨ Step inside and you'll feel like you've stepped into a time machine to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Walking on the bluestone road, you might feel like you've entered the world of "My Own Swordsman." The white walls and black tiles of the Huizhou-style buildings look like a natural ink painting, and you can take great photos anywhere. 📍 Address: Xiuli Film and Television Village, Anhui 🚗 Transportation: Drive to Xiuli, Hongcun Town, Yixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. Enjoy the scenery along the way and arrive easily. Take a high-speed train to Yixian East, then take a taxi for about 20 minutes. It's convenient and fast. 💰 Tickets: Only CNY 30. If you want to take a boat ride, add CNY 10. You can get a discount if you buy tickets online. ✅ Honest review: It's almost "zero" commercialization, full of life, and you can feel the pure charm of the ancient town. There are few tourists, so you don't have to worry about crowds. Find a sunny afternoon, sit on the street, and have a cup of coffee. It's relaxing and enjoyable. The scenery is beautiful, and the Huizhou-style architecture with pink walls and black tiles is very distinctive. You can take beautiful photos from any angle. 💡 What's fun in Xiuli? Wupeng Boat: Take a Wupeng boat and leisurely travel through the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan, as if you are in a Huizhou ink painting. You can enjoy the scenery along the way and become a part of the scenery for others. Tongfu Inn: As the filming location for the movie version of "My Own Swordsman," this is not only a real-life restoration but also a real restaurant. The landlady dresses like Tong Xiangyu and sits at the counter, making you feel like you're in the movie. Wansong Art Academy: If you're bringing kids, this is a great place to go. Kids can experience fun activities like pottery and tie-dyeing. 🎈 Cultural experience projects: There are intangible cultural heritage lacquer fan making, handmade fish lanterns, sachets, lanterns, hand-painted kites, and other rich cultural experience projects, allowing you to immerse yourself in the charm of traditional culture. 🌟 Nearby attractions: Hongcun Village (15 km), Tachuan Village (8 km). They're not far away, so you can rent a car and visit all these attractions at once. I really hope such a beautiful place won't be overlooked! When Hongcun Village is crowded with tourists, this place is so quiet that you can hear your footsteps echoing. Are you sure you don't want to check in at this hidden gem of an ancient town?
