[2025 Jing County Stay] Travel Guide for Chaji Ancient Village Hepingju (Updated Feb)

Chaji is a forgotten ancient city. It is the largest existing ancient village from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, yet it is sparsely populated and quiet. If you don't go to Hongcun, you must come to Chaji. It is almost untouched by the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and the village still retains its original appearance. Chaji Town is built around a river, with carved beams and painted buildings, and clear river water. At night, there are dragon dance activities, and every household sets off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the dragon. As the last stop of my trip to Anhui, Chaji left a deep impression on me. Staying at Zhuli Xiaoshan was a hidden surprise in the itinerary. My daughter said this was the best homestay she had ever stayed in. The owners are from Shanghai and Suzhou. They came to Chaji for a leisurely trip a few years ago and ended up staying. The homestay is built on the mountain, and every detail touched my heart. Isn't this my dream? The mountain is quiet, and the bamboo shadows sway. Through the window, you can see the rocks and the changing sky. A small episode: The stars of Jiangxi and Anhui have fallen. I originally wanted to stay at Zhuli Xiaoshan for the last two days, but Trip.com showed that it was closed on the 13th. I contacted the owner and she said she hadn't returned to Anhui yet, so I added a stop at Hongcun to the itinerary. However, Hongcun was crowded, so I went to Bishan Bookstore and then directly transferred to Chaji. The reverse flow of the holiday was successful. Except for the food in Jingdezhen, the travel experience was really great! Anhui is the pinnacle of ink and wash Jiangnan. As a Jiangsu native, I was deeply impressed by the uniform layout of Anhui villages with white walls and black tiles, carved railings, and painted buildings. I have to admire the aesthetics of Huizhou merchants and their strict family traditions.

🏯If you love Huizhou ancient villages, then you must go to Chaji Ancient Village in Xuancheng 🏞This place is different from other famous noisy ancient villages. Chaji has maintained its original appearance in more than a thousand years of history. Residents are still washing vegetables and beating clothes in the stream 📖Most of the people in Chaji Ancient Village are surnamed Cha. Mr. Jin Yong's ancestral home is here. He once returned to his hometown with his father to worship his ancestors 🌅When night falls, the aroma of stir-fried vegetables permeates the alleys. The fireworks here have not been interrupted for more than a dozen centuries 📍Location: Chaji Tourist Center 💰Cost: 55 yuan for tickets, there is a parking lot, you can take a free sightseeing car to the entrance of the ancient village —————————————— ‼Tour suggestions: ❶Chaji Ancient Village is built along the stream. Starting from the south gate, walk upstream along the main road by the stream, and you will see many ancient buildings from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties ❷Don't rush into the alley, first go to Zhenkou Bridge, then turn back, then enter the alley, you will find more amazing ancient buildings ❸The whole journey takes about 2 hours. There are many restaurants and snack bars along the way for you to choose from. You can also treasure hunt in small shops ——————————————— 🌃Chaji Ancient Village still maintains a small and popular appearance due to inconvenient transportation. There is no heavy commercial atmosphere here. Compared with Hongcun and Chengkan in southern Anhui, I prefer the simplicity and quietness of Chaji 🛌I suggest you stay in the village to experience the night and morning of the ancient village. There are several very good homestays in the village for you to choose from ❗I'm not a tout, but I sincerely recommend a clean and hygienic restaurant. I hope you don't step on the pit in the scenic area 🎨Every year, many art students come here to sketch. There are also some great painters living in the village. As for who they are, I'll leave it to you to guess
