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.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
