About this activity
Explore two UNESCO-listed villages in Anhui Province on a private full-day tour featuring centuries-old architecture and authentic rural life. Your personal guide and dedicated vehicle offer intimate access to Hongcun and Xidi, where Ming and Qing dynasty homes remain remarkably intact and inhabited.
Hongcun Village and Xidi Village both are UNESCO world heritage in Huangshan city, Anhun Province, China. Due to their well-preserved old houses, and the traditional village lives, it is nice to visit here from Tunxi with us by a private vehicle and local guide.
