Xidi shares a World Heritage inscription with Hongcun, but it is a separate village.
What the heritage record establishes#
UNESCO locates Xidi in Yi County, Huangshan City, Anhui. Its account describes a village organized around three streams, with houses, lanes and architectural decoration forming part of the heritage. The shared listing does not mean that one admission or transport booking necessarily covers both villages.
Planning your visit#
For a comparison with Hongcun, choose one feature to observe: the path of water, the relationship between houses and lanes, or the decoration of a doorway. Record the feature rather than guessing an owner’s occupation or a building’s date from its appearance. Confirm the exact village and entrance in any transport booking.
Before making a booking#
Check current opening arrangements and admission conditions with the named site operator. The planning advice above is editorial guidance, not a report of a completed visit. No current fare, restaurant certification or guaranteed journey time is asserted.
