Chuandixia Village

Chuandixia Village

Only 60 km away from Beijing there is a picturesque mountain village called Chuandixia Village. This village is located at the valley of Jingxi mountain area, and it is known for its well preserved 500 Ming and Qing dynasty-style courtyard houses owned by 70 families, ancient but unsophisticated, just like another “Shangri-la”.

These houses on the hillside have remained largely unchanged for centuries, surrounded by mountains and luxuriant forests. Steep stairs and lanes paved with rocks are simple and unadorned.

The village was rated as a village of great tourist value and has been placed under national level cultural relics protection. It was also a great place to take photos. Many of the families (all descended from the original founder) opened their homes to provide meals for visitors.

Hi,

Thanks for visiting our website.

I think you could take the subway to Pingguoyuan(苹果园), then take Bus No.336 or No.326 go to Hetan(河滩), connect a bus to Chuandixia village. We could arrange you a day trip including Private transfer service between Chuandixia and Beijing city, Private professional local guide who speaks fluent English.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Have a nice day.
