Read a representative passage
Huangshan is one of China's defining mountain landscapes: granite peaks, sculpted pines, steep stairways and cloud that can reveal or erase the view within minutes. Hongcun and Xidi explain the human landscape below it. Their lanes, water systems, halls and courtyard houses show how Huizhou families organised trade, ritual and domestic life.
