Hongcun

The ancient village of Hongcun, located 7 miles from Yi County, was listed as a UNESCO World Heri­tage site in 2001. From a bird's-eye view, the vil­lage takes the shape of a resting water buffalo. The village, covering more than 12 acres, is renowned for its water-supply system. The running water flows through the winding ditches to every household and collects in a little lake at the entrance to the village. The peaceful environment and beautiful surroundings present a pleasing and tranquil picture of typical country life in ancient southern China.
