Misty Morning in Lu Village: A Painting Come to Life

#discoverchina #anhui The drizzling rain and lingering mist wrapped Lu Village in a dreamlike haze, softening the edges of its iconic white-walled, black-tiled Hui-style houses. As I wandered the quiet lanes, the first golden blooms of rapeseed flowers peeked through the emerald fields, their vibrant yellow glowing against the muted tones of the damp earth and misty sky. The raindrops clung to cobblestones and wooden eaves, adding a delicate shimmer to the scene, while the distant hills faded into the clouds like an ink-wash painting. There was a profound stillness—broken only by the occasional drip of water from a tiled roof or the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze. In that moment, Lu Village felt untouched by time, a serene masterpiece of nature and tradition woven together.
