🏮Did you know? The fish lanterns of Wangmantian Village in Xitou Town, She County, Anhui Province, are not only a way for villagers to worship their ancestors and pray for peace, but also carry an ancient legend! 🏮According to legend, most of the houses in Wangmantian Village were made of wood, and there was a large stone wall on the mountain to the west of the village. Whenever the sun shone on it, it would reflect like a large fire mirror onto the village, easily causing fires. To solve this problem, the villagers invited a wise man to give them advice. He told them to make fish lanterns in the shape of carp out of bamboo strips and cotton paper, and to carry them along the river in the middle of the village every year during the Lantern Festival to receive the protection of the divine fish and pray for the safety of the village and to avoid fires. This legend adds a mysterious touch to the fish lanterns! 🏮Features and production process of fish lanterns: Wangmantian fish lanterns are made with great care. The fish frame is made of bamboo strips, and the paper is strong and durable cotton paper. The fish lanterns are lifelike, with painted scales on the outside and the word "king" written on the forehead. The large fish lanterns are about 7 meters long and 3 meters high, divided into three sections, with more than 100 candles lit inside. The fish's mouth is also equipped with a fire-breathing device, and it takes more than 20 people to carry it! The small fish lanterns are smaller, but equally charming. 🏮The lantern parade and atmosphere: During the lantern parade, the fish lanterns of the ancestral hall go first, followed by the other fish lanterns. In front, there are large flat lanterns in the shape of kitchen knives to clear the way, and behind them are lions, large gongs and drums, flower lanterns, fish lanterns, and five-grain lanterns. Firecrackers and drums are played along the way, creating a strong festive atmosphere. When the fish lanterns reach the door of each household, firecrackers are set off to welcome them. Finally, the large fish lanterns run on the flat ground, parade out of the village, worship the temple, and return to the ancestral hall. 🏮Lantern parade time and place: The fish lantern festival is usually held from the 13th to the 16th day of the first lunar month in Wangmantian Village, Xitou Town, She County, Anhui Province. When night falls, the fish lanterns gather at the entrance of the Wang ancestral hall, and hundreds of large and small fish lanterns parade through the streets along the planned route.

Everything here looks like an ink painting. Here are some places to visit in Huizhou~ 📍Hongcun Village Navigation: Hongcun Village, Yixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province (You can take a taxi or a bus to the village) Photo spots: Nanhu Lake at the entrance of the scenic area is the best place to take panoramic photos of Hongcun Village. Every photo you take here will look like an ink painting. Most of the popular photos of Hongcun Village were taken at Moon Pond. The best time to take photos is in the morning or at sunset. The Huizhou-style buildings and the sun are reflected in the crescent-shaped water, creating a stunning picture. 🍽️Food: I recommend the fermented tofu and stinky mandarin fish. If you like strong flavors, you'll love these dishes. If you don't, you can try a Hongcun pancake. The sweet osmanthus rice wine is my personal favorite. Tips: Nanhu Academy, Chengzhi Hall, and the Wang Family Ancestral Hall are all located in Hongcun Village. If you have time, you can visit them. They all have a traditional Chinese charm. 📍Lucun Village Location: Next to Hongcun Village Photo spots: You can directly navigate to the Lucun Viewing Platform, where you can overlook the entire village. I recommend taking photos of the sunrise here. The ancient village with white walls and black tiles is bathed in the sunrise, creating a picturesque scene. 🍽️Food: Similar to Hongcun Village. You can have some tea. Tips: The Wooden Carving Building in Lucun Village is known as the "No. 1 Wooden Carving Building in China" and is worth a visit. There are not many parking spaces. If you are worried about parking, you can walk from Hongcun Village. It takes about 15 minutes. 📍Tachuan Village Location: 2 km from Hongcun Village Photo spots: Qishu Lake is very open, and you can see birds flying over the lake. Photos of the water pine and Chinese tallow trees are very beautiful. The Tachuan Viewing Platform is also a great place to take photos. The golden rice fields, red maple leaves, and red Chinese tallow trees intertwine with the white walls of the Huizhou-style buildings, creating a stunning picture. 🍽️Food: Huizhou Yipin Pot is a very special dish in Huizhou. You can also try Li Hongzhang Hodgepodge and Huangshan Stewed Pigeon, which are also local specialties. 📍Chengkan Village Location: Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province (40 km south of Huangshan Scenic Area) Photo spots: Yongxing Lake is the best place to take photos. The lotus flowers surrounding the white walls and black tiles are like the "Lotus Pier" in my imagination. The boatman will help you find the best angle for your photos. You can also check in at the "No Obstacles in Life" Bagua Gate at the Autumn Drying Square, which has a similar vibe to the TV series Joy of Life. 🍽️Food: I recommend dining at Huanxiu Building. The salted chicken is very tasty. The iron plate fermented tofu may not be to everyone's taste, so order with caution.
