1002 CN - Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui – Xidi and Hongcun (2000)

Brief Description

"The two traditional villages of Xidi and Hongcun preserve to a remarkable extent the appearance of non-urban settlements of a type that largely disappeared or was transformed during the last century. Their street plan, their architecture and decoration, and the integration of houses with comprehensive water systems are unique surviving examples."

皖南古村落－西递、宏村（2000年）

"西递、宏村这两个传统的古村落在很大程度上仍然保持着在上个世纪已经消失或改变了的乡村的面貌。其街道规划、古建筑和装饰，以及供水系统完备的民居都是非常独特的文化遗存。"
