Chuandixia is a crumbling little hamlet some 56 miles (90 km) to the northwest of Beijing. I have to remark that getting here may be a laborious challenge, but it will be well worth your effort, for more than anywhere else, Chuandixia Village is the best showcase of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture that is still intact.
The name Chuandixia means "under the river". It is a village located on a steep mountainside. Here in this scabrous setting are the medieval courtyard houses and rustic country abodes. The village homes huddle to, connected by little lanes. You would need to pay an admission fee to enter the village, after which you are free to explore at your own free will. And it is such a charming place to be, like stepping back in time.

It's not a big village, this hamlet Chuandixia, just five families totalling about 70 people. Yet they are usually quite hospitable, even more so today, now that they have tasted the benefit of tourism. Some of these homes do accept overnight guest for a fee. Ask around if you are keen to spend a night there.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
