Nanping, an ancient village in Huizhou, has probably all originated from several TV dramas in modern times. 80% of the shots in 'Chrysanthemum Bean' were completed in Ye's Ancestral Hall (Xuyi Hall). And all the indoor scenes in the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' were filmed in Ye's branch hall next door. Compared with the heavily commercialized Hongcun, Nanping is still inhabited by many locals, but like many rural areas in China, the village is mostly left-behind elderly people. They guard the ancestral homes left by their ancestors, work in this picturesque landscape, remember the merits of their ancestors in their hearts, but cannot continue the glory of their ancestors.

| Explore the labyrinthine ancestral halls of Nanping, experience rural artistic vibes at Bishan Bookstore and Pig's Inn Bar, and discover the architectural wonder of the interconnected "Eight Great Houses" in Guanlu—all while avoiding the crowds of Hongcun and Xidi, and deeply immersing in the essence of Huizhou culture. Yixian County, Anhui: Nanping, Bishan, and Guanlu Ancient Villages (Recommended seasons: Spring & Autumn) ◦ The Village of Maze-like Ancestral Halls: Nanping - Known as "China's Film and TV Village," it served as a filming location for "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." With 36 wells and 72 crisscrossing alleyways resembling a maze, the village boasts eight grand ancestral halls like Xuzhi Hall and Kuiguang Hall. Quiet and less crowded, it offers a strong sense of clan culture, perfect for a serene experience. ◦ A Model of Artistic Rural Revival: Bishan Village - Near Hongcun but free from the hustle and bustle, it features "Bishan Bookstore" (one of China's most beautiful rural bookstores, a branch of Librairie Avant-Garde), "Pig's Inn Bar" (a blend of old oil factory, bar, and guesthouse), Gongxiao She (selling local design products), and Cow Shed Café (transformed from a cowshed), brimming with artistic charm and lifestyle aesthetics. Explore the fields and village by bike or on foot. ◦ The Wonder of Interconnected Ancient Dwellings: Guanlu Village - The "Eight Great Houses" are its highlight. Built by eight wealthy Wang brothers during the Qing Dynasty, these eight independent yet interconnected homes showcase ingenious design, earning the saying, "Eight Houses of Guanlu, all connected." Admire the exquisite craftsmanship of Huizhou's "Three Carvings" (wood, brick, and stone). ◦ Perfectly Avoiding Hongcun and Xidi Crowds: These villages are close to Hongcun and Xidi (10-30 minutes by car) but with far fewer tourists, offering a better experience. ◦ Convenient Transportation: Take the high-speed train to "Huangshan North Station," where numerous tourist buses directly head to Yixian, Hongcun, and Xidi. Chartering or sharing a car to these villages is very convenient. • Practical Guide: ◦ Itinerary (2-3 days recommended): Combine with Hongcun/Xidi or focus on these off-the-beaten-path gems. ▪ D1: High-speed train to Huangshan North Station -> Take a bus to Yixian County/Hongcun Scenic Area parking lot (~1 hour) -> Charter a car for sightseeing (~300 RMB/day) -> Afternoon deep dive into [Nanping Ancient Village] (2-3 hours) -> Evening stay in [Bishan Village] (Pig's Inn guesthouse or other options). ▪ D2: Morning slow travel in Bishan: Read at Bishan Bookstore, browse Gongxiao She, stroll the village, or bike through fields (rent from guesthouses) -> After lunch, head to [Guanlu Village] (1-2 hours) -> Evening return to Huangshan City or stay near Hongcun/Xidi (for easier departure the next day). ▪ (Optional D3): Skip Hongcun/Xidi interiors and explore their outskirts (like Tachuan's autumn scenery) or Lu Village's Wood Carving Tower -> Return. ◦ Transportation: ▪ Major transit: High-speed train to Huangshan North Station. ▪ Local: Buses from Huangshan North Station to Yixian/Hongcun/Xidi (~25 RMB/person). Chartering a car from Hongcun/Yixian is best for exploring Bishan, Nanping, and Guanlu (~300 RMB/day). Some villages have shuttle buses but are time-consuming. Bikes can be rented in Bishan. ◦ Accommodation: Plenty of options in/around Hongcun/Xidi (100-1000+ RMB). Nanping and Bishan also offer unique guesthouses (Pig's Inn in Bishan, Yi Nan Villa in Nanping, 200-800 RMB). ◦ Tips: ▪ Charter drivers usually know the routes well—discuss the itinerary and waiting time in advance. ▪ Nanping and Guanlu focus on ancient architecture, while Bishan emphasizes artistic slow living. ▪ Book return tickets from Huangshan North Station early (especially during holidays).

Nanping Village is located in the southwest of Yi County, Anhui Province. It is a large ancient village with a thousand-year history. Many famous films such as "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were shot here. But I didn't go there for this, I wanted to see the well-preserved Hui-style buildings there. Nanping Village has nearly 300 ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, 36 wells and 72 alleys. On a central axis of more than 200 meters from the beginning to the end of the village, eight large and small ancestral halls are still preserved. This ancestral hall complex is the only one of its kind in the province. Since the Ye family moved here from Baimashan in Qimen in the late Yuan Dynasty, the village has expanded rapidly. By the Ming Dynasty, the three major clans of Ye, Cheng and Li had gathered together and ruled the village separately. Especially after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the mutual comparison and competition among the three major surnames prompted Nanping Village to enter its heyday. The village has a population of more than 1,000 people, but has 36 wells, 72 ancient alleys, and more than 300 ancient houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The village still preserves a considerable number of ancestral halls, branch halls and family halls, and is praised by tourists as the "Museum of Ancient Chinese Ancestral Hall Architecture." As soon as I arrived at Nanping Village and saw the vast yellow rapeseed fields against the backdrop of the ancient Hui-style buildings with white walls and black tiles, I knew I had come to the right place.

Among Anhui's ancient villages, Hongcun and Xidi are famous and crowded with tourists. But there's a low-key ancient village, unadorned, serene, and exuding a unique charm: Nanping. Nanping was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the wheels of time have left deep marks here. The village's 8 solemn ancestral halls carry the family's glory and heritage; 36 wells nourish generations of villagers; 72 ancient alleys wind like a maze; and over 300 Ming and Qing dynasty houses stand in perfect harmony, each brick and tile telling stories of the past. It's known as the "Chinese Ancestral Hall Architecture Museum." Famous films like "Ju Dou" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were filmed here, adding a veil of mystery. Compared to Hongcun and Xidi, Nanping has far fewer tourists. Backed by green mountains, with smoke curling from chimneys, Hui-style ancient buildings stand side by side, and alleys crisscross, creating a secluded paradise far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Walking here feels like traveling back in time to a simple and tranquil era. Travel Guide - By car: Navigate to the northwest gate parking lot of Nanping Scenic Area for easy access. - Public transport: Take a taxi from Yixian East Station to Nanping, which takes about 30 mins. If you're not staying overnight, be mindful of the return time and avoid returning too late, as taxis are harder to find at night. - Tickets: Free entry, easily start your exploration. Tour Route Enter from the northwest gate and explore Nanping Ancient Village: Xiyuan Bridge > Ye Family Ancestral Hall > Shangsu Hall > Shansi Hall > Ju Dou Pharmacy > Step by Step Alley > Carved Hall > Fortune Alley > Sanyuan Well > Hengde Hall > Wansong Pavilion > Small Western-style Building > Bingling Pavilion > Cheng Family Ancestral Hall > Li Family Ancestral Hall > Parking Lot. This route is a loop, but the village has many alleys, and even with signs, it's easy to get lost. So, stick to the loop and remember your way back when exploring the alleys. Recommended Attractions - Ye Family Ancestral Hall: Also known as Xuzhi Hall, built during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. 80% of "Ju Dou" was filmed here, and it retains its original appearance. Standing inside, you can almost visualize scenes from the film. - Ye Family Branch Ancestral Hall: Also known as Kuiguang Hall, it's the interior filming location for the security escort agency in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The ancient architectural style evokes the boldness and vicissitudes of the martial arts world. - Muxian Hall: Once a place for scholars to teach, with a portrait of Confucius inside. The courtyard layout resembles a Suzhou garden, complete with pavilions, corridors, and "beauty railings," exuding a scholarly atmosphere. - Bingling Pavilion: Built in the mid-Qing Dynasty, it consists of a main hall, side hall, and corridor. The overall layout is similar to a northern courtyard house, showcasing a blend of north-south architectural styles. - Xiaosi Building (Small Western-style Building): A blend of Chinese and Western architecture from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The rooftop offers the best view of the entire village. - Step by Step Alley: The longest and most layered of the 72 alleys, it ends with 23 steps, each higher than the last, symbolizing rising step by step. Walking here, you can almost feel this auspicious meaning. - Shansi Hall: This house faces east, with two entrances and three-bay corridors. The interior is a typical Hui-style residential setting. The large, gold "Shansi Hall" calligraphy on the black lacquer plaque above is powerful and highlights the historical depth of this ancient house. Visit Nanping, experience its tranquility and antiquity, explore the stories hidden in the depths of time, and embark on a unique ancient village journey.

Nanping Village is located in Biyang Town, Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. It is one of the first traditional Chinese villages. Nanping Village was formerly known as Ye Village. Later, it was renamed Nanping because the village is backed by Nanping Mountain, which acts like a barrier. The history of Nanping Village can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Ye family moved from Baimashan in Qimen in the late Yuan Dynasty, the village began to expand rapidly. During the Ming Dynasty, a pattern was formed in which the three major clans of Ye, Cheng and Li gathered together and ruled separately. Especially after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Nanping Village entered its heyday due to the mutual comparison and competition among the three major surnames.
