History of Cuandixia Village

The village of Cuandixia has a history that can be traced back to several hundred years ago. Built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the village is famous for having been home to the Han's Family. Recalled in ancient times as a flourishing inn on the post road as well as a major traffic artery for access to the Shanxi Province from Beijing, the economy of the village had developed through farming and trading, what are still the main economic basics presently.

The charming architecture of the houses that can be aged as old as the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911) give a deeper impression to the village that is enchanting its visitors. Like walking in a real museum, the village courtyards, carvings and cultural relics are the only history reminders of this gentle village (hopefully) forgotten by industrialization. Placed under national level cultural relics protection, Cuandixia Village is a great place to discover.
