## About Xixinan Ancient Village

Located in western Huizhou District, the village is closely tied to the history of the Huizhou merchants at their peak and retains a relatively original appearance. Its oldest treasures are not the more than 100 Ming and Qing buildings but the centuries-old trees. A small stream winds around the village, and a boat ride along it lets you feel history as you glide past. It feels like a real-life version of “The Wizard of Oz,” as if you've stepped through time.
