China’s First Colorful Village: Have You Been There?
Imagine a colorful village, the first place that comes to mind is...
It’s the small fishing village of Cinque Terre in Italy, or the artistic town of Guanajuato in Mexico?
Or the water town of Burano in Venice, or Valparaiso in Chile, the famous city of good looks?
Coastal town Italian Cinque Terre
Art’s paradise Mexico Guanajuato
Colorful water town Venice Burano
Then you probably don’t know, there’s also a colorful fairytale village hidden in the deep mountains of Lijiang, China!
From a distance, the colorful houses look like toy boxes, and if you go inside, you’ll find a thousand-acre rose garden hidden deep in the village!!!
Nine-color divine pen fairytale colorful village.
Perhaps everyone is dreaming of fairy tales, and in your heart, what does the fairytale town look like?
Filled with flowers? Colorful houses? Murals on the walls?
And in Lijiang, there’s such a fairytale town.
This fairytale colorful village hidden in the deep mountains, was originally called Jinlong Village, located in Qiethe Town of Lijiang Ancient City.
Although it’s very close to Lijiang Airport, it’s known by few people, and the people who know it are those who accidentally discovered it.
From a distance, the extremely dazzling colorful colors are immediately obvious, it’s like a dreamlike paradise on earth!
Going inside, you’re stunned by the beauty!
There are 442 courtyard houses in the town, and all the houses are composed of 9 colors:
Orange, yellow, green, blue, pink…
Two houses next to each other are different colors.
Actually, before 2016, Jinlong Village was just like most small villages in Lijiang, with tile-covered eaves and white walls, without anything special.
It wasn’t until the implementation of the Nine-Color Rose Town project that the whole village instantly turned into a fashionable ‘foreign’ small town.
But the colorful small houses in the village didn’t completely imitate European and American colorful small towns, the roof of each house still retains the traditional Chinese style of flying eaves and corners, and has a completely fashionable Chinese style flavor!
Every morning you wake up and open the window, you can see a dazzling array of colors, and you can climb to the mountains after the village to enjoy the whole colorful village!
It’s conceivable that living here for a while must be a wonderful and happy thing!
Each painting is a story, in addition to the colorful houses, the walls of the colorful village are also a highlight!
The 3D art paintings on the walls, a pastoral landscape between a fairytale and an illusion like Alice in Wonderland, it’s a photo paradise!
There are also scenes of childhood fun and youthful sentiments, familiar cartoon works…
Compared to houses painted on the roadside, some people may prefer the national atmosphere hidden behind the colors.
The mottled walls are printed with national-related patterns, the elderly are in front of the walls, carefully examining, or reminiscing, or thinking, appearing so quiet and beautiful.
About love things, taking lovers here to take pictures, must be romantic, right~
Lovers holding hands walked across a wall of love, leaving beautiful pictures, the taste of love is a little sweet!
If we are strangers, if we meet each other in such a place, is it a guiding sign of fate......
