Xixinan Village & Maple-Poplar Forest
西溪南
A Huizhou merchant village on the Fengle River, where centuries-old maple-poplar trees along the riverbank create a fairy-tale landscape of water and trees.
Xixinan is in Huizhou District, about 15 km from Tunxi. It was home to the Wu family of Huizhou merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it preserves Ming-era buildings such as Laowuge and Lüraoting Pavilion. The maple-poplar forest on the banks of the Fengle River, south of the village, has become a popular check-in spot. Its roots twist together, its branches dip into the water, and the stream splits and flows through the trees, making it look like a scene straight out of The Wizard of Oz. In summer, some people wade in the shallows. The village and forest are free to enter, and nearby there are boutique guesthouses and cafés. From Huangshan North Railway Station, a taxi takes about 20 minutes.
