The Cuandixia Village - an Ancient Village With Wonderful Scenery

With a history that spans four hundred years Cuandixia Village is an ideal place to spend ones vacation. The Cuandixia Village is situated within Zhaitang Town, Mentougou District, which is approximately ninety kilometres (or 31.3 miles) away from central Beijing, China. Numerous courtyards and rooms (about seventy courtyards and nearly 500 rooms) are conserved within this city. These courtyards and rooms were created during the Ming Dynasty, which ran from 1368 to 1644, and the Qing Dynasty, which ran from 1644 to 1911.

Cuandixia Village is an old hill village and is pone of the most well conserved ones in all of China. The Cuandixia Village covers an area of approximately 10, 000 square meters. This village is famously known as the ‘Potala Palace’ of Beijing.

The village resides on the northern slopes of the mountain. The village blends in harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment. The houses and buildings mirror the old Chinese architecture and have been well maintained despite their old age. Up until recently the village was home only to the Han family. They say that the ancestors that lived here had moved over to Shanxi Province at the time of the Ming Dynasty, in the Yongle Period. Due to the fact that the village is part of the Qingshui River Valley, there seems to be an abundant amount of greenery with wonderful lush green grass and trees in and around the environs of the village.

On can space out the sight seeing by staying at a Beijing Hotel and if one prefers a luxurious stay, then try a luxury hotel in Beijing.
