Hongcun, Anhui Province
安徽宏村
The UNESCO listed village of Hongcun lies next to Mount Huangshan - one of China's five most famous mountains. It's known as "A Village in Chinese Paintings" for its beautiful views and quietness. You may recognize it as the backdrop in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The unusual layout of the village is in the shape of the Chinese character niu (bull) and there are many original residencies dating back to the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
宏村,緊靠黃山,被世界教科文組織列入世界文化遺產(chǎn)名錄。宏村因其景色優(yōu)美,環(huán)境靜謐,素有“中國畫里的鄉(xiāng)村”的美譽。你可能注意到了,這里就是電影《臥虎藏龍》的拍攝地。這里的建筑排列呈一個“牛”字,居民們在此居住的歷史最早可以追溯到明清時期。
