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. Hongcun woodcarvings and the village's elaborate pailou entrance gate are world famous. Snacks like vegetable cakes (RMB 1 for five) make a good breakfast and you can eat lunch at local farmhouses. Dishes like hongshao tofu (fried vegetables) cost about RMB 10. Restaurants like Laojie Diyilou are more expensive but still not over RMB 100 for three dishes.
Location: Jilian Town, 11 km northwest of Yi County.
Tickets: RMB 20 for village entry. RMB 55 in peak season - guide service included, and RMB 44 in the off-season.
How to get there: Take a three-wheeled motor vehicle or small van at Yi County. It takes 1/2h to get to Hongcun.
