What are the best attractions in Jixi, where is Jixi

I am a photography enthusiast, I have a special pursuit of the beauty of nature, for the scenery of a place, I will personally experience it before I can best interpret it, and I will also use my camera to take the most suitable photos, because the scenery here has a different return to my life.

Jixi MuseumJixi Museum

As we all know, Hui-style architecture has the characteristics of “blue bricks, small tiles, horse-head walls, corridors, hanging panels, and fretwork windows”, and Jixi Museum also retains this characteristic. The pink walls and black tiles, the roofs like rolling mountains, one after another, like mountains echoing each other, stretching endlessly.

In order not to damage the main body of the county government office, the trees, courtyards, wells and alleys in the county government office are specially preserved.

I heard that when the museum was designed, the designer deliberately retained the characteristics of the ancient county government office. In order to make the millennium ancient city and modern architectural features blend into one, it used the design concept of “folding top simulating mountains” and “leaving trees as gardens”.

Folding top simulating mountains

“Simulating mountains”

Make the entire roof into one, like a range of undulating mountains, echoing the natural mountains around the ancient town in the distance.

The entire building is covered under a continuous roof, the undulating roof contours and texture are like the surrounding mountains and rivers of Jixi, which is a full interpretation and display of the “shape of Jixi”, which is “North of Luxi, one mile away from Huixi, flowing away and merging, like Jixi”.

Leaving trees as gardens

“Leaving trees” is to carefully measure the location and size of each tree at the very beginning of the design, and leave space for scenery where there are trees.

The overall layout of the building sets up multiple courtyards, wells and alleys, which not only create a comfortable and pleasant indoor and outdoor space environment, but also a reinterpretation of the spatial layout of Hui-style architecture.

These courtyards and alleys made because of trees exist in a homologous and coexisting relationship with the surrounding traditional residential courtyards. They not only serve the visitors of the museum, but also open to Jixi citizens on a daily basis, becoming their city living room.

In addition to the strong Jixi rhyme in the overall architectural style, the details are also intriguing because of the architect’s ingenuity.

This is the cell of the ancient county government office, it really looks very small.

So, the cell is really for prisoners! After all, such a small area is not very comfortable to stay in!

Xuancheng Millennium Renli

Renli is located 3 kilometers from Jixi County, 5 kilometers from Longchuan Scenic Area, and is a must-see on a tour of Longchuan Scenic Area.

Its visiting content is a supporting product of Longchuan Scenic Area and even the Huangshan Mountain East Line Scenic Area.

The tour time is about 1.5 hours.

Characteristic eaves

Walking along the ancient merchant road, the Hundred-Step Imperial Street built by Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasty for the Geng brothers has survived for 1,500 years. The tomb path of Tang Jinyao Gong, the ancestor of the Cheng family who moved to Renli, has also become a common street, and the gate of the old residence of Cheng Songtang, who funded Hu Shi’s studies abroad, is not open. There are also the Western-style boat house and manor of Cheng Yuezhang who advocated the Westernization movement, the Renxiantang of Cheng Xilian, a famous doctor in the late Ming Dynasty, with many gatehouses, the dowry well of Hu Zongxian’s daughter, the Shiquan Academy on the bank of Dengyuan River, the ancient wharf by the Fuyang Bridge, etc.

This road can only accommodate one person to pass! It’s really super narrow!

The art of making Hui ink here is still being carried forward, but the old people are getting older. I sincerely hope these folk arts will be preserved forever!

Hand-made ink, I specially bought a pair of fingerprint ink at that time. Fingerprint ink is the ink made by your own hand, and your fingerprint remains on it, which is worth collecting!

The lanterns hanging high are very exquisite!
