Longhu Ancient Village, it's worth a visit!

Today, I'm here to share with you my adventure in Longhu Ancient Village. 🌟✈️ At first, I was full of anticipation for this trip, but it was full of twists and challenges. The parking lot was set up a kilometer away, and a lady mislead me that it was only a hundred meters away, which made me feel a bit overwhelmed. 😱🚗 However, when I stepped into the village gate, everything became interesting. On both sides were dense shops of all colors, selling snacks and specialties as tempting as Chaozhou ancient city. Although I was a bit disappointed at first, I then found a small alley full of red lanterns, so I decided to follow my feelings and go in. 😉🍔 In the alley, I saw rows of ancient houses, a bit like Jiaji Alley in Chaozhou ancient city, but more spacious and open, the direction of the alley also has some curvature, as if it reminded me of the memory of Wuyuan Xiaolikeng. Although there is no lively small bridge and flowing water, they all have similar beauty. 🏰📸 Fang Bo's house and the scholar's house are the essence of the ancient village. Although these old houses are dilapidated and uninhabited, the lanterns in front of the door are shaking, but the outlines of the murals are still clearly visible, firmly showing the traces of history. Time is ruthless, but the traces it leaves still make people respect. 🎭⏳ I deeply love ancient buildings, because they are the carriers of history, as if connected with the past. Walking out of the alley, there are towering ancient trees and clear lake water in front of me, the bridge stands tall, and the girls in ethnic costumes on the bridge add a touch of vitality and beauty. Just like the traditional concept of unity of heaven and man, here integrates the rural scenery, bringing me peace and joy. 🌳🌾🌌 Back to the main street and heading south, the shops gradually disappear, allowing me to see the ancestral halls of several prominent families. Among them, the Xu family ancestral hall is the most magnificent, which also reminds me of the descendants of Xu Fuma in Chaozhou city and the Xu family in Longhu have a lot of family origins. This sense of history is really moving! 🏯🌸 When I walked to the south gate, I was greeted by the magnificent Tianhou Palace, the banyan tree covered the sky, and the incense of Mazu was still prosperous. 🌿🙏🔆 In a snack shop full of cooking awards, I tasted a plate of gold medal fried noodles, which actually added sesame and white sugar, the taste is unique and surprising. Then, I also tasted the tender red peach cake, potato cake and vegetable dumplings. What's different is that the boss lady fried it with oil, which makes it more delicious, and with duck shit fragrant tea, it's unforgettable. My taste buds were simply healed! 🍜🍡🌶️ There are many cafes on the main street here, but for me, the most atmospheric one is not far south of the Xu family ancestral hall. Because there are no other shops, it shows a more refined taste. Old house, low square table, small bamboo chair, this is the most comfortable place to drink a cup of special fruit coffee. It's really worth the trip! ☕️🍏 Finally, I bought two red clay cup mats in the style of red peach cakes in a shop selling ceramic bowls and cups, and the trip was successfully concluded. I left Longhu Ancient Village with joy and harvest, and made up my mind to set foot on this beautiful place again. 🥰🎁👣 If you also like ancient buildings and traditional culture, then a trip to Longhu Ancient Village will definitely not disappoint you! Whether it's the charm of history or the attraction of nature, it will refresh you. So, take some time and take a walk! 💖✨
