Head to Cuandixia village, it takes about 2 hours to arrive at Cuandixia village.
Cuandixia is a beautiful small village in the mountains about 90 kilometres to the west of Beijing. It is made up of a number of courtyard houses rising up the hillside, all dating from the Ming or early Qing Dynasties, connected by small alleyways.Cuandixia is mainly known today for its well preserved courtyard houses. There are some 500 of these, built during the Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Many of these were built for trading families and merchants on the westerly trade route; others were funded by the Imperial court in Beijing, which held strong influence here. Very few have seen any modern expansion and they remain as small courtyard properties, tightly surrounded by living accommodation on all sides, with a single opening to the narrow lanes running through the village. Most of these are open to walk in and explore, many are now guesthouses for visitors.
The surrounding mountain scenery too holds a strong appeal. Every place in the village seems to have dramatic views onto the mountainscape on all sides of the village, but there are also plenty of opportunities to get up closer to the mountains.
