Beijing Village Tour

 BJ-55

Cuandixia was founded during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) by members of the Han clan who moved from Shanxi Province.According to legend, a villager named Han Shoude, who bore a strong resemblance to Kangxi Emperor, became a monk in service to the same emperor and built many of the grand courtyards of Cuandixia with imperial funding. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty Cuandixia prospered from trading in coal, fur, and grain

Depart your hotel at 9:00 am
Then drive to the Cuandixia Village.It takes about  2.5 hours to arrive the village.It is located on ancient post road roughly 90 km northwest from central Beijing in the Jingxi mountain region.On the way to the village you will enjoy the beautiful mountain and countryside sceneries.

Cuandixia contains around 70 courtyard homes, which gently climb the slopes of a mountain, built by a family who migrated from Shanxi province more than 400 years ago. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the road that led through the mountains to the provinces of Hebei and Shanxi acted as a trade and passageway. The residents of Cuandixia would open their doors to travelers and serve the passing trade. Over time, the village became forgotten as expressways and train tracks changed the route to the west
