The charm of Huizhou in late autumn comes alive in Chengkan, a village steeped in centuries of history. White walls and dark-tiled roofs glow softly in the autumn light. High-walled courtyards and deep-set residences rest quietly at the foot of the green hills. Flagstone-paved lanes wind past traditional residences and ancestral halls. As dusk falls, century-old fish lanterns are lit, carried by crowds winding their way across ancient bridges and along the old waterways. Lantern lights shimmer on the gently rippling water. Autumn breeze drifts through the old homes as lantern light flickers in the gathering dusk, revealing the timeless charm and romance of Huizhou.
