Lost in Time, Framed in Beauty: Welcome to Hongcun

#chinatravel 🐂 1. Unique Ox-Shaped Layout — Symbolic & Functional Urban Design Most traditional villages follow the shape of the terrain or develop organically, but Hongcun is deliberately designed to resemble a sleeping ox — a rare and symbolic architectural decision. Leigang Hill forms the ox’s head Ancient trees = horns Curved water channels = veins Moon Pond = stomach South Lake = body Alleys and streets = intestines
