Hongcun is by far one of (if not the only one) my favorites I've traveled to.  It was the most anticipated little town before my visit and it doesn't disappoint.  As with food, I like complex flavors, i.e., layers of tastes that integrate with one another.  With any locale, water just adds one more element to the flavors of the scenery.  They say it's a "Village Walking off of a Chinese Painting" (in Chinese, it's “中国画里的乡村”).  I think I've witnessed it here.  What do you think?P.S. You now know I'm crazy about Hongcun if you've been following my blog.  You can see my other posts here,here, here and here on Hongcun.
