01 Baihaba Village

Baihaba Village, known as the No. 1 Village in Northwest China, is located in Tiereketi Township, Habahe County, the most northwestern corner of China. The village is located in a valley, built on a long and narrow terrace between two streams. Standing near the mountains and rivers.

All buildings are made of logs, and being in it is like an illusion of breaking into a small European village.

In the small border village of Baihaba, it is as beautiful as oil paintings of different styles throughout the year, and everything seems to slow down here.

Cows, sheep and horses stroll leisurely among the hillsides and birch forests, where they chop wood to feed the horses, graze and sing, the accompanying flowers bloom and fall, the sunrise and sunset...

Although Baihaba Village in spring does not have the mysterious shock of winter or the infiltration of forest in autumn, it has the vitality of revival of everything, fresh and refined.

In the early morning and evening, the sun shines into the village, rendering the entire village, this small border village instantly resembles a glowing fairy tale kingdom.

02 Jiaju Village

Jiaju Village is located to the north of Danba County, where the basic features of Jiarong residential houses are completely preserved, as well as the historical features and styles.

Jiaju Tibetan Village is a perfect combination of natural environment and architecture. It has high ornamental value and artistic value. It is a model of Chinese national architecture. It is called "China's most beautiful village" and "the fairy tale world in Tibetan areas."

Every hiding place in the village is a work of art, except for the beauty that floats on the surface, and the unchanging simplicity hidden in it.

03 Hongcun

"Why don't Huanji road far away, there is a clear spring in front of my house." Hongcun, originally a place where the Wang family lived, has green lotus lakes and arch bridges like rainbows. Hongcun has been beautiful for more than 800 years.

There are more than 140 well-preserved ancient houses of Ming and Qing Dynasties in the village, which is known as "the village in Chinese painting".

Hongcun is a veritable representative of Huizhou architecture and an ancient ink-washing village.

The water is gurgling, and the years are long, and Hongcun lies above the water, like a rainbow and a bright moon.

The village is in the shape of a cow, and the artificial water system is scientific and beautiful. It can be called "a must in China" and "a great wonder in the history of architecture".

With moon marsh as the stomach and Nanhu Lake as the belly, the intestinal-shaped water canal is transferred through the house, "used for drinking before 8 o'clock, washing and irrigation after 8 o'clock".

Utilizing the topography to provide convenient and safe daily water for residents of Hongcun Village, it demonstrates the wisdom of the ancients.

A bay of clear water surrounds the village, opening the distance between Hongcun and the outside world, and guarding this quiet and quaint village for generations.

In Hongcun Village, you will see the most traditional Huizhou architecture, row upon row, staggered high and low, horse head wall and cornice, reflecting the flowing water, beautiful.

Chengkan is an ancient village with a history of more than 1800 years. It was once praised by Zhu Xi as "Chengkan Shuangxianli, the first village in the south of the Yangtze River" . Surrounded by green mountains, it is like an elegant ink painting.

The layout of the entire village is built according to gossip, and the winding alleys are like a maze, which is very interesting.

Looking at this ancient village from a distance, the undulating horse head wall gives the scenery of Huizhou architecture, and the mountains and water make the village more tender and beautiful.

With the sun shining, the landscape and villages here reflect each other, showing the most beautiful side.

As the setting sun sets, the small bridge next to the misty and rainy willows returns to its calmest appearance, and the smoke and mist in the sky makes this evening full of hazy beauty.

The tall white walls and the vicissitudes of vicissitudes of life carved columns and paintings greet the eyes, both revealing an elegant style.

Walking in the alley, walking on the bluestone road with moss, the traces of the years make this place more intriguing, and those traces hide the past stories.

05 Hemu Village

Next to the beautiful Hanas Lake in Xinjiang, there is a small mountain village-Hemu Village, which is known as the "First Village in China" .

Wooden houses built from logs are scattered throughout the village, with small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling... The quaint mountain village scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

The houses in Hemu Village are all made of logs, full of original taste, and from a distance, they are as beautiful as an oil painting.

The small wooden houses and groups of herds form a unique landscape with snow peaks, forests, grasslands, blue sky and white clouds, which are connected together, which makes people have to indulge.

06 Zhangjiao Village

If you ask me which village is as beautiful as an oil painting, my answer must be Zhangjiao Village. Its appearance is truly unforgettable.

There is a large camphor tree that is more than 700 years old in the village. People climbed up to the tree and looked down. The village is as if it is underfoot, so it is called Zhangjiao Village.

When you come here, you will be willing to believe that there really is a fairy tale world in this world, and the colorfulness here is what you have never seen before.

The stone pebbles on the walls of the houses are all iron-red weathered stones. After years of baptism, the stone walls are now mottled, but under the sunlight, they are so colorful.

Not the old time where
to find a small town
to slow down and travel
to listen to the story of a period of the past
