Ancient villages in south Anhui Province

Write: Shakira [2011-05-25]

In the southern part of Anhui Province, there are many small beautiful villages near the southwestern slope of Huangshan Mountain. Xidi and Hongcun are the most famous ones and have been listed as two of China's top 10 charming ancient villages and added in UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List in 2000. Morning mists, gray tiles, white walls, stone bridges, trickling stream and water lily ponds are all parts of the villages' charm. After appearing in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," these two ancient villages have become more famous at home and abroad.
