The entire village is guided by feng shui theory, with a strategic layout, leaning on high mountains and facing flowing water, and particularly emphasizes the utilization of water, because water in Huguo culture means wealth.

Enjoying a tea art performance in the school, feeling the vastness and depth of Chinese tea culture in the rhythmic movements.

Huguo three carvings are historically and culturally rich, the skills are exquisite and passed down through generations. Entering a wooden carving workshop, you can smell the fragrance of cedar wood. The wood carvings of Ink-wash Riverside are taught by teachers, and the quiet carving artworks, a small pattern, often takes a long time to complete. The wood carvings here can be customized privately.

Huguo carvings are delicate and complex, the composition and layout absorb the expression techniques of the New An School, emphasizing artistic beauty, using deep relief and round carving, and advocate for empty effect, which looks very three-dimensional. Although the carving is long, it's also a very rewarding achievement.

'Smoke bridge, flowing water, floating bridge', the old houses have remained silent for hundreds of years, maintaining a straight posture. Everything in front of us is what I like.

Entering an ancient dwelling, you will find that the architecture here is very distinctive. Huguo's rainfall is abundant, all houses are 'courtyard-plus-inner courtyard' Huguo ancient architecture, the roofs of the courtyards always tilt towards the courtyard, rainwater flows in from the four sides of the roof and converges in the courtyard, called four-water returning courtyard, to bring good luck and not lose money, I have never seen Huguo ancient architecture, coming here will feel very curious, especially when it rains, the rain falls into the house, which feels very romantic.

On Qingming Festival, southerners like to make 'Qingming Fruit', this is a seasonal food, in the past it can only be eaten on Qingming Festival, with the development of the economy, we can eat it during the year. 'Qingming Fruit' is divided into sweet and salty varieties depending on the filling, with a crispy outer shell made of green grass and a filling of sesame, fragrant flowers, sugar, and bean paste. In Wuyuan, I eat salty Qingming Fruit, usually filled with pork belly, winter melon, mushrooms, red peppers, tofu and pickled vegetables, and green beans.
