Besides appreciating the enchanting natural landscape of the mountain, a tour to the namesake city and local villages and towns will also reward visitors with an unforgettable experience. In ancient times the area was under the jurisdiction of Huizhou。 locals created a splendid Hui (short for Huizhou) culture, much of which can still be seen on Tunxi Old Street and in Xidi Village. Huizhou existed for about 800 years, from the year 1121 in the Song Dynasty to 1911 in the Qing Dynasty, and prised six counties, including Yixian, Shexian and Xiuning in presentday Huangshan City. The Hui culture mirrors every aspect of the local life in the late feudal period – in its Huistyle architecture, Hui mercialism, the patriarchal clan system, NeoConfucianism, Hui Opera and Hui cuisine. The best place to get a glimpse of the culture pressed, visitors should look in the Hui Culture Museum in Huangshan City, which is so far the only theme museum in China to prehensively showcase this regional heritage.Huistyle Architecture At the foot of picturesque Huangshan Mountain sprawl clusters of Huistyle greytiled and whitewalled houses, forming the most typical scene captured in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Hui architecture is one of the major Chinese architectural styles of ancient times, with the exquisite homes, ancestral halls and memorial archways as its most impressive embodiments. Distinctive elements of Hui architecture are the ubiquitous white color of all the buildings, the greytiled roof and the Horsehead Wall, where the wall descends staircase style, following the angle of the roof. Like northern residential architecture, Huistyle dwellings also feature storied buildings, multiple courtyards, winding corridors and upturned eaves。 but all are hidden behind high horsehead walls. Externally they present tall, solid walls with only a few small windows, and inside the dwellings patios of varied kinds allow the passage of sunlight. Generally speaking, the exterior appearance of Huistyle buildings differs little while their interior can vary a lot based on the wishes of the owners. Home decor is characterized by three types of Hui carving: stone carving, wood carving and brick carving. The average homeowner would expend less effort on decorating the interior rooms than their facades. The windows and gates facing outward would normally require delicate workmanship, and the gatehouse in particular served as an important banner of wealth and social status, so worthy of the most ornate designs. To take a look at the Hui architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui residences, and one of the Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO. Wi
