The Spring is here, please join me to explore ancient village and we will make Chinese dumpling together.
Below is the details:
 

With the frantic pace of urbanization in China’s capital city, traditional siheyuan (residential quadrangles) and hutongs (narrow lanes) are becoming harder and harder to find in central Beijing. Many lovers of ancient architecture are now turning their eyes towards the suburbs, where some surrounding villages still preserve residences in the architectural style of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Shuiyu Village in suburban Beijing Municipality’s Fangshan District is one particularly good example worth visiting.
 
The village is laid out in a circular shape. A snaking, stone-paved road zigzags through the village, dividing it into two parts. Viewed from above, the whole village resembles the yin-yang symbol. At the entrance, a gate laid with stones holds a plaque carrying two Chinese characters “Ning Shui,” which literally mean “taming the flood.”
 
Join us to explore ancient village where you can find several ancient courtyards, temples and participate to make Chinese dumplings together.
