Description

Hong village or Hongcun is a village in Hong Village, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, China, near Mountain Huangshan (a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of China’s main tourist attractions.)
The Hong village also became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 for its exceptional preservation of the architecture and city plan of a rural village in feudal China. Several scenes from the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as well as eight Chinese movies were filmed here in Hong Village。This Moon Pond is one of the prettiest sites with its exceptionally still and clear water and reflection of the antique houses. The white and grayish colors of the walls, the dark color of the roof would make a photo look like a traditional Chinese painting with ink. There is an intriguing and effective irrigation system in the village that looks like an ox. This pond is said to be the stomach of the ox to which water from all the drains in the village run to. This photo was taken on April 24, 2020.
