Dawa Village, located in She County, Handan City, Hebei Province, is a stone village hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains.

According to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a family named Zhang lived here in seclusion and thrived here. According to family tree records, the Zhang family has been passed down for 28 generations so far. Affected by the geographical environment, the land area in the village is very small, so the villagers can only build houses halfway up the mountain according to the mountain. The main materials for building houses are stones taken from the mountain by the villagers, just like building blocks. , built piece by piece into paths, high weirs, and houses, forming a stone village. Because transportation was inconvenient in the past and the village was hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains, more than 60% of the stone houses in the village are still intact. As old as the stone house, there are also many stone mills, stone mills, stone mortars, etc. that were used in the last century. It is worth mentioning that the landmark building in the village - the Stone Arch Bridge, known as the "Stone Overpass", has a history of about 500 years. It is a single-arch stone bridge and has the charm of Zhaozhou Bridge.
