Anhui! Xixinan Untouched Secret Guide

Hidden at the foot of Huangshan Mountain is a stunning secret spot—Xixinan Ancient Village🌿. Here, there is no over-commercialization, only authentic Huizhou-style architecture and healing green fairyland, perfect for those wanting to escape the city's hustle and bustle and enjoy a poetic Jiangnan day at a leisurely pace~ ✨One-day tour itinerary suggestion: Morning: 📍【Village Entrance Wetland】Free entry Xixinan in the early morning is as beautiful as an ink painting. It’s recommended to arrive around 8 AM, stroll along the wooden boardwalk through the maple and poplar forest, watch the creek flow through the woods, and enjoy the sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the water—super soothing~ (ps. remember to wear non-slip shoes, the boardwalk can be slippery after rain) Noon: 📍【Laowuge】Representative Huizhou Ming Dynasty Architecture After visiting the wetland, walk 10 minutes along the stone path to reach this typical "upstairs hall" style building. The second floor features a rare moonlight hall design. Admission is 20 RMB per person. Nearby, many villagers run small restaurants; highly recommend trying Huangshan Mao Tofu and Bamboo Shoot Braised Pork! Afternoon: 📍【Stone Slab Alley】Free After eating, it’s perfect to leisurely stroll through the ancient alley. The blue stone slab road is flanked by well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty residences, with exquisitely carved brick doorways. Occasionally, you might encounter art students sketching. There’s a "Streamside Teahouse" in the alley where you can rest and enjoy a cup of Huangshan Maofeng tea while watching the flowing creek—super relaxing~ 📍【Popular Wooden Bridge】Free The light at 4 PM is best for photos! Navigate to "Xixinan Town Parking Lot" to find it. Be sure to stand in the middle of the bridge to capture the forest reflection. Wearing a light-colored dress makes for even better photos~ 🚗Transportation tips: 1️⃣ Drive and navigate to "Xixinan Ancient Village Parking Lot," parking is free 2️⃣ Take the high-speed train to Huangshan North Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride (about 20 RMB) 3️⃣ The village is mostly walkable; remember to bring mosquito repellent! 🥢Food recommendations: ✔️ Yu Qing Zhai: Century-old brand, famous for stinky mandarin fish (about 60 RMB per person) ✔️ Village Entrance First Baked Cake: Freshly baked plum dried vegetable and braised pork cake, 5 RMB each ✔️ Ancient Village Winery: Homemade sweet glutinous rice wine, very suitable for girls No need to worry about rainy days! The ancient village in misty rain is even more charming. It’s recommended to bring a transparent umbrella as a photo prop~
