Not to be confused with the Likeng scenic resort / village, Da Likeng is a remote village located some distance away. Because of its remote location, you won't find hordes of tourists here, other than artists and art students sitting quietly painting away. Forget the water villages nearer to Shanghai! This is the genuine article. You won't find vendors linng up every inch hawking their merchandise as in the Likeng scenic resort or human hordes and tourists. White washed buildings with the trademark roofs are left unmolested, as are the stone and wood bridges spanning the small river. You will also find villages washing their clothes, vegetables, and every imaginable stuff by the river. But the up stream fast flowing river still remains relatively clear.Drop by the numerous historic buildings with a guide to explain the rich heritage.Picture perfect scenes await around every corner!Head off for Huang village about 1 km away for a an even smaller but unspoilt village.
