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 rural space enclosed by wood and stone, with tranquil halls in courtyard homes and eaves that seem to long for flight, telling stories of the passage of time. Turning the corner of the winding stone-paved street, you see dark tiles and red roofs, along with fireproof walls—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!
