In early spring of that year, the Japanese Expert Dr. Naomi Okawa, assigned by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, highly valued the villages after his field investigation by saying that “it’s really an unrivalled village scene such as Hongcun”. “The village Xidi still remains its beautiful ancient streets and alleys, which is  seldom in the world”.
