On November 29, the morning scene taken in the waters flowing through Xiuning County, upstream of the Xin'an River in Huangshan City, China's east Anhui Province, looks like an ink painting. Traditional Hui-style buildings along the river looming out of the mist.

This kind of architecture does not specifically refer to the buildings in China's east Anhui Province. In fact, they can also be seen primarily in Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Hubei Provinces. 

The main features of Hui-style architecture  are white walls and black roofs. Brick, wood, and stone are the raw materials used, and are typically held together with a wooden frame.
