Dawa Village | "Stone Kingdom" in the Depths of the Taihang Mountains

| "Stone Kingdom" in the Depths of the Taihang Mountains: Dawa Village is an ancient village hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains. The entire village is built on the mountain, and the locals use local materials to build stone bridges, stone roads, and stone houses, as if walking into a fairy tale "stone kingdom." Legend has it that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a family with the surname Zhang lived in seclusion here, and they thrived and built many houses. It is said that they have been here for 28 generations. Moreover, no other surnames have settled in the entire village, which is a family-style village. The ancient buildings in the village are mostly stone courtyard houses, which are scattered, stacked, and built on top of each other, with a strong "Potala Palace" style of architecture, and are known as the "Little Potala Palace" in the north.
