Xiapu Ancient Village, Hengdong, Hunan

Xiapu Village is located in the western part of Ganxi Town, Hengdong County, situated at the junction of the second terrace of the Mishui River and hilly mountainous areas. The village faces west with the Xiao Family Mansion at its center, featuring a four-courtyard, seven-row layout covering approximately 20 acres. Built in the second year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty (1822), the structures adopt a brick-and-wood framework with grayish-blue tiled roofs and a stepped courtyard layout that is lower in the front and higher at the back. Currently, the ancient village remains largely intact, representing a sizable Qing Dynasty architectural complex. It preserves numerous exquisite architectural components that embody rich ancient construction techniques and reflect strong local cultural characteristics, making it a precious heritage of ancient architecture. It is designated as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit of Hengdong County and is listed among the second batch of China's Traditional Villages.
