Bishan Village is only a few miles from the county seat of Yixian County, and is surrounded by famous places such as Hongcun and Xidi. Perhaps it is the light from these places that blocks Bishan, making it glad to be "hidden in the city". The most important feature of Bishan Village is that it has not been developed and has very few tourists, so it has relatively maintained its farming civilization, natural ecology and simple folk customs.
Pioneer Bookstore Nanjing Online Celebrity Bookstore eighth branch - Bishan Bookstore was established here, many people began to come to this small village in the boudoir finally appeared in people's vision.

Tips:
The legendary four great ancient cities of China, fortunate enough to have been to three, but personally I think the most unworthy is the ancient city of Huizhou. Planning and management is more chaotic, the scenic area is not well preserved inside, relative to the more expensive ticket price cost-effective. Can only say that the overall recommended general, different people have different views.
3. Shitan Village
Shitan Village, located in the southern part of the Chinese historical and cultural city of Shexian, is one of the top 100 photographic bases in Huangshan. The farther away from Shitan Village, the better the scenery and the more interesting. This village is connected to that village only by a narrow path. When spring comes, rapeseed flowers and pear blossoms bloom everywhere, and it's a real paradise. And due to the inconvenient transportation, there are fewer tourists, which makes it a good place for photography and sketching.
