Huizhou Treasure Ancient Village Lucun | An severely underestimated ancient village

Huizhou Treasure Ancient Village Lucun | An severely underestimated ancient village Lucun in Yi County, Huangshan, is a typical Huizhou ancient village with a history of thousands of years and is home to the Lu family. The characteristic of the ancient village is the group of wooden carved buildings built by the wealthy merchant Lu Baiwan for his six wives during the Qing Dynasty. The incredibly exquisite wood carvings took 20 years to complete. The Huangmei Opera 'Women of Huizhou' and the TV drama 'Into the Blue River' were filmed here. 🌟Highlights: The Zhicheng Hall in the wooden carved building group has three entrances, the front hall, the main hall, and the back hall, which are the places where Lu Baiwan's eldest and second rooms and parents live together. The carvings in the main hall are very beautiful, with eight doors and windows on each side. The upper half of the doors and windows are carved with delicate patterns, and the lower half are carved with auspicious patterns and historical legends. Look carefully for a pair of 'Horse on the Seal (Monkey)' on the left door and window, where a scholar on horseback meets a monkey, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality. From the side door of Zhicheng Hall, you can walk into the private school built by Lu Baiwan for his 24 children, then pass through the kitchen with many stoves, and arrive at the Siji Hall where the fifth concubine lives. The beautiful carvings on the winter melon beams and the official couch on the right side of the living room are worth noting. Then pass through the high and deep alley to the Sicheng Hall where the third and fourth rooms live. The dragon spring under the small piston on the ground, a pair of stone piers carved into bundles of bamboo, and the wooden barrel for heating are all interesting objects. There is also a glass hall where the sixth room lives in the wooden carved building group. The glass imported from Germany is only 2 mm thick and the craftsmanship is exquisite. ❤Recommended reason: Only two kilometers away from Hongcun, if you are tired of the crowds in Hongcun, you might as well stay in Lucun to enjoy the quiet. Strolling between the alleys of Lucun, because there are not many tourists, it is more suitable for a quiet and leisurely holiday choice. Find a homestay in an old house, order a cup of tea, hold a thick book, and it's very comfortable. Lucun has a history of thousands of years, the road surface of hemp stone slabs, and the life under the white walls and gray tiles accompanied by streams, is still continuing. 🎫Scenic area ticket: 50 yuan 🕙Opening hours: 07:30-17:30 📍Detailed address: Lucun, Hongcun Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🚉Travel strategy: You can take a local tricycle to Lucun, but it is recommended to walk.
