In Huangshan
City, there are more than 4,000 residences built in the Ming and Qing
dynasties. The majority of residences in southern Anhui Province are in
traditional Chinese style: with gray-tiled tops, painted white walls,
horse-headed eaves, and decorations of bamboo, wood, brick, and stone
carvings.
Such residences can be mostly found in the counties of Yixian, Shexian,
and Jixi. The most representative villages with such residences are
Xidi and Hongcun in Yixian, Doushanjie in Shexian, Chengkan and Qiankou
in the Huizhou District, and Fengcun and Shangzhuang in Jixi. |
