Staggered eaves trace the gentle skyline of an ancient village in the mountainous Huizhou region of southern Anhui province. The beauty of Huizhou architecture is not a distant museum piece, but the essence of local life, passed down through generations.

Clear streams wind through alleys and curve around homes. The intricate village water system nourishes the land and dwellings, binding together the daily life of the whole settlement.

When autumn comes, white walls and cobblestone courtyards take on the vibrant colors of the grains and the chili peppers laid out to dry in the sun.

Poetic landscapes, architectural ingenuity and warm everyday life are distilled into the unique charm that is Huizhou village life.
