A lovely little old town with well preserved Hui style architecture and about 700 years of history. There are guided tours (in Chinese) that run every 10 minutes from the South entrance of the town. Possible to do as a day trip, or combined with some of the other attractions around the region.

Huangshan City has so many ancient villages mostly well preserved, some are enlisted UNESCO cultural sites, and Xidi Village is one of them! Visit the second time, still looks the same, owners of the house hold sell some local items since there are so many visitors throughout the year to help some incomes! They added food court in an open are and water show in their pond, guessed these adding didn’t violate the regulations of Being listed in UNESCO! Good, but personally, food court is not needed, bc the material used simply not matched the “ancient”.

Unlike the villages of Hongcun and Xidi in Anhui province, the quaint village of Lucun is relatively unknown by international and domestic tourists alike, which means you're likely to have the entire place to yourself! We recommend visiting in either Spring, when you can experience the delicate blossoms surrounding the village, or Autumn, as the autumnal colours perfectly complement the picturesque beauty of the ancient buildings. Lucun is one of many villages in Anhui province that carry deep significance in the region, as they were once part of an ancient region known as "Huizhou" that was culturally distinct from the rest of the province. Many of the mansions within Lucun were thus built by wealthy Hui merchants, who passed them down through their clans for generations. The most famous mansion in Lucun is known as Zhicheng Hall, which dates back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and was built by a wealthy merchant known as Lu Bangxie or "Lu the Millionaire"! What made our visit to the hall so special was that we were able to meet the current owner, who is the oldest living member of the Lu family and who still uses the mansion as his home. Unlike other Hui villages, which have been developed for tourism, Lucun is one of the last remaining villages where the historical buildings still serve as the residential homes for their noble families. For this reason, we'd absolutely recommend paying it a visit, as it is only about a 20-minute walk away from Hongcun! If you do decide to visit, be sure to follow the hiking path at the back of the village. This leads to a viewing platform, where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the village from above.

We were brought here, by our Guide Louise Zhang, for a stroll and sightsee. Instead we found traditional Chinese calligraphy tools- Chinese writing brushes, ink sticks and ink wells. Coloured ink sticks are also available. Learned a lot about brush construction and what to look for. No idea how expensive good ink sticks are - my last purchase was in 1963 from the local stationary shop in Johor Baru, Malaysia! At our request and not as part of the walk, Louise took us to a shop that sold good quality stone seals. I had seals made for my three children. Had to wait overnight but Louise brought the finished products to our hotel next morning. The carving is as good as ones done by craftsmen in Singapore (craft shops, not street side vendors). Very happy with the stones as well, semi translucent and peach in colour. Very enjoyable ramble.
