The winter of Hongcun Village is like an ink wash painting in the making. With fog as its “water” and light as its “ink”, dawn and dusk paint its shades of light and dark. Visiting Hongcun Village in winter, you will unlock the deepest secret of Chinese ink wash painting: blank space isn’t emptiness but breath while simplicity is not scarcity but fullness.
