Hong Village — Nine Centuries Quaint

Hongcun is a picturesque village with beautiful watery scenes round its lotus ponds and bridges, as well as charmingly crafted architecture. Villagers have diverted water into "house gardens" and "water yards", which exist only in this village. The village, in its breathing-taking setting, looks like a Chinese painting. The village attracts many Chinese art students to practice their skills.

Hongcun was a setting for “the best Chinese film of all time” — Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Hong Village is at the foot of the Yellow Mountains, and they are usually combined on a tour. See our 3-Day Yellow Mountains and Hongcun Village Tour.
