Hongcun Village

The site selection, layout and architectural form of the whole village emphasize the ideal realm of harmony between man and nature so that the overall outline of Hongcun village is in harmony with the natural scenery such as terrain, landform and landscape. The ancient villages in southern Anhui, represented by Hongcun, have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. Hongcun Scenic Spot was officially awarded the title of "National 5A Tourist Attraction" by the National Tourism Administration.
