China Destination Guide - Hongcun 宏村

Hongcun is a small village dating back to the Song Dynasty and is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The well preserved architecture of the village is the main attraction along with the layout of the streets and the wonderful crescent shaped Moon Pond. Hongcun is almost always visited in conjunction with a trip to Huang Shan and provides a good balance to the scenic splendour of that mountain.
 
 ➤ TCTC Tip: Hongcun can also be combined with the nearby and similar Xidi village as well.
