Wow! You're not mistaken, Xiadang Village is so beautiful!

Wow! You heard right, Xiadang Village is the only treasure in Shouning County that was listed in the third batch of traditional Chinese villages in 2014! Imagine, this village faces Xiuzhu Creek, built against the mountain, with houses stacked layer upon layer, like a well-arranged painting. Among the green mountains and rivers, wooden arch bridges span across the stream, it's simply a beautiful scene of 'corridor, flowing water, and homes'! And speaking of Xiadang Village, how can we not mention Luanfeng Bridge? This bridge is the business card of Xiadang, and also the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of the villagers in ancient times! It was built in the Ming Dynasty and was rebuilt in 1800. It is the largest single-span wooden arch gallery bridge known in the world, with both form and connotation of great artistic charm and practical value! Not only that, Xiadang Creek is like a dazzling necklace, connecting the historical and cultural buildings around Luanfeng Bridge, such as Xiadang Ancient Village, Wenchang Pavilion, Wang's Ancestral Hall, Longkeng Creek Stone Arch Bridge, Fushan Guanyin Hall, Ma Xian Palace, etc. Imagine, these buildings are placed in deep gullies, lush mountains, and green streams, it's simply breathtakingly beautiful! Also, Wenchang Pavilion is the cultural and educational building of Xiadang Village, where the Wang's children studied hard in the old days. This pavilion is three stories high, facing south to north, built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, with an octagonal double-eave spire, a penetrating beam frame, it's simply antique! The most magical thing is that on the opposite bank of the village, there is a rock standing straight in the pool against the mountain, more than 20 meters high, with white texture evenly wrapped around three circles, the rock is hollow, shaped like a rice steamer, so the villagers call it Rice Steamer Rock. Whenever there is a flash flood, the torrent hits the rock, and mist will burst out from the belly of the rock, just like the steam emitted when steaming rice, it's simply magical! It is said that this stone has a spirit, indicating a thriving population! How about it? Can't wait to explore Xiadang Village? Come on a trip on a whim, the beautiful scenery and historical and cultural buildings of Xiadang Village will definitely make your trip worthwhile!
