Summary
A virtual tour of Hongcun, a UNESCO-listed village in Anhui Province known for its Hui-style architecture and century-old cultural heritage, reveals the intricate details of its traditional structures and natural beauty. Using 3dsmax+Twinmotion software, researchers created an immersive digital experience that incorporates elements like flowers, birds, insects, fish, climate, and time to showcase Hongcun's aesthetic appeal without physical travel. This approach not only preserves the village's cultural significance but also offers a novel way for audiences worldwide to appreciate its historical and natural landscapes, bridging the gap between heritage conservation and modern technology.
