Features: Ancient stone steps, gnarled camphor trees, and residential houses with blue tiles and white walls—these are the characteristics of Sichuan-Huizhou ancient towns. These ancient buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers convey many messages of local affection. This seemingly calm scene hides a unique space enclosed by village wood and stone, with tranquil halls in courtyard homes and eaves longing for flight, all telling stories of time passing. Turning the corner of the winding stone-paved street, you see dark-tiled roofs, red eaves, and fire-walled ridges—these are the glories of civilization. Through the dense shade of the camphor trees, it seems possible to glimpse another scene: a peaceful rural atmosphere and a vibrant, rhythmic harmony of life!
