呈坎
An ancient village laid out according to the Eight Trigrams feng shui system and praised by Zhu Xi as the “Top Village of Jiangnan”; the Luo Dongshu Ancestral Hall, with its Baolun Pavilion, is a Ming-era ancestral hall of national-treasure status.
Chengkan lies in Huizhou District. It was first established in the late Eastern Han dynasty, and the Luo clan has lived here ever since. The entire village is laid out according to the Eight Trigrams of the I Ching, with three main streets and ninety-nine lanes forming a labyrinth, and the Zhongchuan River flowing around it. The core attraction is the Luo Dongshu Ancestral Hall, a four-courtyard Ming-era hall. Its rear hall, the Baolun Pavilion, has well-preserved painted bracket sets and is a National Key Cultural Relic. The village also has Yanyi Hall and Huanxiu Bridge. Admission is about 107 yuan, and during peak season there are lantern performances in the evenings. It is about 25 km from Tunxi and about 40 minutes by car from Huangshan North Station. It can be combined with Tangmo and Qiankou for a day trip.
