Cheng kan mao dou fu

The Mao tofu here tastes very good! Good taste! Delicious! Worth a try! Like 👍

Just got back from Chengkan, my soul is still lingering in that picturesque village! 🏞️ They say, "Visit Chengkan, and your life will be free of obstacles," and this place not only has an auspicious name, but its scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. 🚗 First Impression: Stepping into a Thousand-Year-Old Bagua Array! As I drove closer to the village entrance, I was stunned—the entire village is surrounded by eight mountains, a natural Bagua diagram! 🌄 The two characters "Chengkan" by the river, paired with swaying willows, instantly transported me to the Ming Dynasty. The key is that there are far fewer people than in Hongcun and Xidi, allowing for a leisurely stroll. 🏞️ Must-See Attractions (Follow my route and you won't get lost) * 1. Yongxing Lake: A divine spot for capturing reflections 📸 This lake is right at the entrance to the scenic area! I went early, and the water's surface reflected the white walls, black tiles, and horse-head gables like a mirror. Fishermen rowed by on bamboo rafts, and I quickly snapped photos! Wearing bright-colored clothing is recommended; the photos will turn out absolutely stunning. * 2. Xiawu (Ming Dynasty Old House): Witness the essence of Huizhou's three carvings 🎨 This old house left me speechless! The beams, windows, and doors are all adorned with exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings—carp leaping over the dragon gate, magpies perched on plum blossoms... The craftsmanship of the old artisans is simply amazing! Touching the cool stone carvings, it feels like you can touch time from 600 years ago. * 3. Yanyitang: A maze-like mansion 🚪 I almost got lost walking in here! Courtyards within courtyards, rooms connected to rooms, it's like stepping onto the set of "Raise the Red Lantern." The carved windows in the young lady's boudoir on the second floor are particularly exquisite and worth taking your time to admire. * 4. Luodongshu Ancestral Hall: Shocked by the "National Protected Cultural Relic" 😱 This is the treasure of Chengkan! Walking into Baolun Pavilion, looking up at the gilded and painted beams, it's breathtakingly magnificent! It's said that the money spent building this ancestral hall could have paved the entire village... 🍜 Food Recommendations (30 RMB per person, eat your fill) * Lingshan Fermented Rice Wine (5 RMB/bowl): Bought from an old lady's stall at the village entrance. Rich in aroma, you can even add eggs and cook it – so comforting and warming! * Chengkan Hairy Tofu (10 RMB/serving): Tofu covered in white fuzz, pan-fried and dipped in chili sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a truly unique flavor! * Stinky Mandarin Fish (88 RMB/fish): A bit pricey, but the unique marinated flavor is worth trying. The fish meat is shaped like garlic cloves and very flavorful. * Stone Cake (3 RMB/piece): A local snack, a crispy and savory pancake filled with preserved mustard greens, perfect as a snack. 💰 Budget-Friendly Day Trip Expenses Items | Cost | Money-Saving Tips Tickets | 107 RMB | 102 RMB (purchased online 1 hour in advance) Lunch | 35 RMB | Set meal at a farmhouse restaurant near the village entrance Transportation | 0 RMB | Taxi/shared ride from Huangshan North Station (20 RMB per person) Snacks | 15 RMB | Fermented rice wine + hairy tofu + stone cake Total | 157 RMB A quality trip without breaking the bank! 💡 My Hard-Earned Lessons 1. Go early or late: The light is best before 8 am or after 4 pm, and there are fewer tour groups. 2. Hire a guide (30 RMB): There are too many intricacies in the old houses; you need someone to explain them to you to understand. 3. Wear non-slip shoes: The cobblestone streets are especially slippery on rainy days. 4. Stay in a village guesthouse: I stayed at "Shoushan Guandi" (300+ RMB/night), with mountain views from the window, and the sound of frogs at night was incredibly soothing. This place is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and quietly experience ancient Huizhou. Spending a day wandering through maze-like alleyways, watching elderly people sit on their doorsteps basking in the sun—that's the true meaning of travel! ❤️ #JourneyLikeASong #PlacesThatGetAskedAboutOnWeChat #SpontaneousSoloTrip #HavingFunWithFriends

🏮 More understated than Hongcun, more rustic than Xitang, this "Number One Village in Jiangnan" uses the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) feng shui layout and a thousand-year-old tradition of drying crops in the autumn sun, capturing the most beautiful autumn scenery of Huizhou. ✨✨Route: Yongxing Lake → Yan Yitang → Luodongshu Ancestral Hall → Zhongying Street. Ask a local guide to explain the secrets. In November, Yongxing Lake reflects the golden ginkgo trees with their horse-head walls in Chengkan. The 99 alleys are arranged according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) of the I Ching. Villagers dry chilies, corn, and pumpkins on bamboo trays, adding vibrant colors to the blue tiles and white walls. Most importantly, there are fewer tourists than in Hongcun, yet you can still take stunning photos reminiscent of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." 🚗Transportation: 30-minute taxi ride from Huangshan North Station (approximately 60 RMB), or take Huizhou Bus Route 1 to Lingshan Station and transfer to a rural bus. Accommodation🏨: Top choice for artsy types: Shudetang Hotel (600 RMB/night), a renovated Ming and Qing dynasty house with a lotus pond right outside the window. Best value: Chengkan Farmhouse (100 RMB/night), stay in a century-old house and eat freshly slaughtered free-range chicken. Must-see photo spots📸: 1️⃣ Yongxing Lake Bagua Array: Take a panoramic photo from the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Eight stone bridges correspond to the eight trigrams, creating a dreamlike scene in the morning mist. 2️⃣ Luodongshu Ancestral Hall Baolun Pavilion: The "Number One Ancestral Hall in Jiangnan" from the Ming dynasty, with golden nanmu pillars and painted courtyards. Light and shadow filtering through the carved windows create a time tunnel effect. 3️⃣ Yanyitang Autumn Drying Platform: Overlooking the colorful feast of hundreds of drying plaques from the second-floor rooftop, the composition of the old house's courtyard is superb. Ancient Village Flavors 🌽: Lingshan Fermented Rice: Glutinous rice fermented with mountain spring water, paired with osmanthus honey, ladled fresh by villagers using bamboo tubes. Hairy Tofu Pancake: Long-haired hairy tofu pan-fried, sandwiched in a sesame seed cake, crispy on the outside and fragrant with fermented bean curd on the inside. Wenzhengshan Bamboo Shoot Casserole: Dried bamboo shoots and cured pork stewed together, simmered over charcoal for 3 hours; the broth is so good you could eat three bowls of rice with it. ⚠️Key Tips: The village's alleys are intricate and easy to get lost in; it's recommended to hire a guide (30 yuan) to explain the secrets of feng shui. Best time for drying autumn leaves: 10:00-14:00; For backlit portrait photography at Yongxing Lake, bring a reflector. Some ancient houses have thresholds; wear flat shoes to avoid tripping. 🎑In-depth Experience: Learn to make Huizhou ink with an intangible cultural heritage inheritor (80 yuan), experiencing the ancient craft from lighting the ink to hammering the ink.
