     都说松阳是最后的江南秘境，而横坑村就是最让人震撼的一个秘境古村。他居于隐于高山云巅，民居层层叠叠，黄墙黛瓦，村口古木参天，村外廊桥相连，村中村口四处溪水潺潺。

   It is said that Songyang County is the last secret place in the Jiangnan region, and Hengkeng is just that ancient secret village which impresses people most. Hengkeng Village is located at the top of the mountain and is shrouded in clouds. Houses tier upon tier with yellow walls and black tiles. Towering old trees sit at the entrance of the village; corridor bridges join place to place outside the village; streams flow with a murmuring sound all around the village.

   横坑村属于国家级古村落，位于浙江丽水市松阳县叶村乡，坐落在海拔1080米的坳岱尖山坡上，村落迄今已有400多年历史。村庄空气清新，负氧离子达到了7000以上，同时也是松阳县城饮用水水源东坞水库的的源头。2016年被省旅游局联合知名媒体凤凰网评为“浙江省十大最美乡村”。    

   Hengkeng Village is one of the national ancient villages, located in Yecun Township, Songyang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. It is situated on the Aodaijian hillside at an altitude of 1080 meters. This village has existed for over 400 years already. There are more than 7000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter in the air, so the air in Hengkeng is really fresh. Hengkeng is also the source of the Dongwu reservoir which is the drinking water sources of Songyang County.  Hengkeng is awarded the title of one of the ten most beautiful villages in Zhejiang by the Tourism Bureau of Zhejiang Province  joint ifeng.com  in 2016.   

   横坑的美并不夸张，错落有致的黄墙黑瓦，棱角分明的台阶巷弄，整个村庄布局呈倒三角形排列，横卧在竹海深处，显得豪迈而威严。

   The beauty of Hengkeng is not an exaggerated one. The well-arranged houses with the angular steps and alleys make the layout of Hengkeng an inverted triangle. Hengkeng lies deep in the bamboo grove, bold and dignified. 

   当你走进那不甚高大但古旧色彩颇浓的吊脚楼后，当你迈上那不甚平整甚至有些倾仄的石台阶后，当你走进那狭窄而又蜿蜒的逼仄小巷后，当你走过那长长而又有些低矮的过廊后……你会感到自己仿佛在迷宫般神奇的世界里游离了，横坑古朴的身躯里竟裹藏着这许多的秘密。

     When you walk into that house projecting over the water which is not tall and big but of rich history; when you tread on those stone steps which is not so smooth even a little inclined; when you get into that alley which is narrow and winding; when you go through that veranda which is long and low… You will find that as if you were in another world, a big amazing maze. You will also be surprised that there should be so many secrets in Hengkeng, a place of primitive simplicity. 

     踩着吱呀作响的楼板，走到房屋向南一边的大窗旁。穿着红衣服的女主人正靠在窗台上出神，房脊、远山、梯田随着薄雾轻盈地飘渺着。眼前的一幕，不得不让人想起苏子《江城子》中的诗句：“夜来幽梦忽还乡。小轩窗，正梳妆。”也许这样的景致并不足为奇，在横坑村的许多吊脚楼上都能遇见，但看惯了钢筋水泥的城里人，要是在这里看上一眼，定会觉得不虚此行了。

   Stepping on the creaky floor, you may see a big window on the south side of the house. Hostess in red is lost in thought leaning against the windowsill. The ridge of the roof, mountains and terrace seem to float in the thin mist. Seeing this, a line from Tune: “A Riverside Town”, a poem written by Su shi, will come to your mind “Last night I dreamed of coming to our native place; She’s making up her face Before her mirror with grace” (Su shi is a famous poet of Song Dynasty) Perhaps such views are not amazing, because you can meet them in many of the houses projecting over the water in Hengkeng. But for the people from cities who are used to reinforced concrete, it is worthwhile taking even a little look here.

    横坑的美美在壮观。也许是地处深山的缘故，这里的石头大都凹凸不平，有棱有角，即使历经几百年的沧桑，依旧挺直着腰板，或横卧，或直立，不带一角的圆润。

   The beauty of Hengkeng is a magnificent one. Maybe it is because Hengkeng is located in remote mountains; rocks here are generally uneven, having edges and corners. Even after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, they are still with straight backs, lying or erect, without any soft part. 

    有些房屋就建在凸起的大石头上，村民就势利用，用石头砌起几米高的墙脚；有的房屋干脆不打泥墙立面，直接用石头垒成外墙；有的房屋在前后屋子的逼仄中建起了左上右下的石台阶……放眼望去，石墙、石阶、石巷，仿佛到处都是石头。

   Some houses are just built on the raised stones. Villagers build the foot of the wall of several meters using stones in the light of local conditions. They not only build walls with stones, but build stone steps which people can go up in the left and down in the right in the narrow space between houses… Looking around, you can see stone walls, stone steps, stone alleys…It seems that stones are everywhere.

   近百米长的台阶从村中贯村而上，蜿蜒曲折。村民挑着一担担稻谷，沿阶而下，更像是灵巧的双手在琴键上欢快地游走，演奏出了一曲曲丰收的音乐。

   Stairs nearly a hundred meter long wind its way from the bottom of the village to the top. Villagers go down the stairs carrying baskets of rice on their shoulder poles. It’s just like a pair of clever hands happily moving on the keys to perform pieces of harvest songs. 

     踏上带着青苔颜色略微发黑的石板，雨滴从瓦缝中坠落，在石板上溅起丝滑般透明的皇冠，沙沙的脚步声在曲径通幽处回响.

   Stepping on the dark green stone slab, you can see raindrops falling from the gap between tiles. These raindrops are like transparent crowns when they splash on the slabs. The sound of the footsteps rustles and echoes in a winding path leading to a secluded spot.

春暖花开，炊烟升起，阳光照耀小山村

In the warm spring, flowers are coming out with a rush; wisps of smoke rose continuously from the village chimneys; the sun is shining down the mountain village.

夏天避暑胜地，经常推门即云海

Hengkeng is a great summer resort, and you can always meet sea of clouds when you push the door. 

砧杵敲残深巷月，梧桐摇落故园秋。

   The moon above the long alley is sinking with the sound of pounding clothes,I miss my hometown seeing the leaves falling from a phoenix tree.(This is a line from the poem Autumn Thoughts written by Lu You, a poet of Song Dynasty)( In ancient China, people would use a stick to pound clothes in washing in order to make clothes clean)

春生冬藏，雪落无声时，回顾一整年的辛劳与幸福，把酒言欢。

Sowing seeds in spring; storing food in winter. When snow falls down in silence, the villagers review the pains and happiness, talking and drinking.

Seeing Hengkeng from sky

夜幕降临，家家户户亮起灯来，这时抬头仰望星空。点点星光，仿佛伸手可触。天地间只剩下一个人、一盏灯、一杯茶。

When the night screen has hung down, every family is lighted. At this time, you can look up at the starry sky. You may even feel that you can touch these exquisite things simply with your stretching hand. It seems that there is only yourself with one light and one cup of tea.

    关于交通，横坑村位于交通位置便利，衢丽高速松阳出口下来10公里进村。两年后松阳火车站将成为衢宁铁路和衢丽铁路中转枢纽，而松阳火车站就在横坑村山脚下，在杭州上海温州工作的游客快速切换世外桃源生活成为可能。

  Hengkeng Village is very convenient for public transportation and is 10 kilometers away from the Songyang exit of Quzhou to Lishui Expressway. Two years later, a hub train station of Quzhou-to-Ningde Railway and Quzhou-to-Lishui Railway, Songyang train station, will be built.    Songyang train station is just situated on the foot of the mountains of Hengkeng Village, so it is possible for travelers from Hangzhou, Shanghai and Wenzhou to switch freely between rural and urban life.
