We took the Cable car from the tourist centre to the top of the mountain which is the entrance to Huangling. Many tourists and local visitors gathered at the Folks Museum Ground having some funs with some dried crops & props. A big Chinese words, “Dry Crops in Autumn” is prominently displayed which I supposed is their outstanding feature of this Village. !!!
There is a main path that leads into lots of shops , stalls for snacks, wine shop, tea and coffee too. From far we could see the Hui-Style buildings, nestled into the side of the mountainous scenery. As we get further in, the path leads us to many different routes, going up and through, directory signages are well placed to guide visitors through.
Heaven Street, (Tianjie Street) has an array of cute shops, hotels, snack bars, as well as restaurants and tea houses too. Some visitors are seen browsing through many wood or bamboo carving souvenirs.
We walked into Liushun Hall. It is a quintessential example of traditional Huizhou residence, showcase the elegant style of Huizhou Architecture. The interior of the house faithfull reproduces the rural life scene in the 1980’s and 1990’s in old Huizhou. In the back kitchen, local elderly women with traditional customs prepare specialty delicacies and snacks. It gave us some understanding on their way of life and folk customs of this rural areas during that time.
