From Scroll to Soul: Hongcun in Every Step

🌿 A Village Still Alive — Not Just a Museum

While many ancient villages are now tourist-only or abandoned, Hongcun is a living community:

Residents still live in ancestral homes

Locals farm, cook, dry herbs, and raise animals

You’ll see life unfolding in courtyards and alleyways


👉 What’s different: You’re not just seeing history — you’re stepping into a village where history is still lived every day.
