|The No. 1 village in the Qing Dynasty. Lesser-known attractions in Shanxi | The No. 1 village in the Qing Dynasty Shanxi is home to many courtyards, but the Shijia Courtyard, a Qing Dynasty cave dwelling hidden in the mountains, is a unique attraction. Location: Shijiagou Village, Fenxi County, Linfen City Shanxi is great for road trips. The Shijia Courtyard was built in the 32nd year of the Qianlong reign (1767) by the four Shi brothers after they became officials. Over 200 years, it was expanded by several generations into a family cave dwelling courtyard complex. The 24 courtyards are connected to each other, and every household is connected. The saying "Close the eight big doors, lock the ten small doors, and people can't leave the village" can only be understood by walking through the courtyards and experiencing the glory of the Shi family. Standing on a high place, you can see the Shijia Courtyard built on the mountain. The courtyards rise and fall, and the loess and sunset create a solemn and desolate atmosphere.
