The resting pavilion for the old: Zhenshancun
China is one of the few countries that has good social welfare and good social programs. One other thing that they are good at is taking care of their elderly. Apart from providing them with social services, they went the extra mile to establish places that the elderly can meet up to play, listen to music, dance and relax. An example of this is seen today as we headed to Zhenshan village, we noticed a beautiful pavilion that caters for the village’s elderly. They were relaxing and playing cards as well as mahjong.
This pavilion is located not so far from the main entrance to the village.

Guizhou's hidden ancient village.
- If you are driving from Guiyang, you can navigate directly to Shanzhen Village in Huaxi Town, Guiyang. The traffic is convenient. You may encounter heavy traffic on weekends when you are a few hundred meters away from your destination. Villagers outside the scenic area will solicit parking for CNY20 per time. Parking spaces are limited inside the scenic area, but no matter where you park, it is not far to walk to the village, about 10 minutes. If you take public transportation, Huaxi Bus No. 23 can take you to the entrance of Shanzhen Village Road, and then you need to walk to your destination.
Visiting the village:
- Appreciate the architectural style: Entering the village, the first thing you will see is the ancient stone road and stone archway. Most of the building materials in the village are stone. The city wall is built on the mountain, which is strong and simple. The city gate is built with stone arch, and the walls and courtyards of the houses are built with small stone slabs. The roofs are replaced with irregular stone slabs instead of blue tiles. Walking in the village, it is like entering a natural stone museum. Stone houses, stone alleys, stone walls, stone tiles, and stone pillars are everywhere, full of historical charm.
- Experience the history and culture: There is a Wumiao Temple in the village, which was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The two wings and the hall have been destroyed, and the main hall has been renovated many times. There is a Shanzhen historical picture exhibition in the hall, where you can learn about the development history of Shanzhen. There are also ancient buildings such as the Tunqiang with Han cultural characteristics, which witness the military Tunbao culture of that year.
- Experience the folk customs: Shanzhen Village is a natural village where various ethnic groups live together, mainly Buyi people. Here you can see villagers in ethnic costumes and experience the unique Buyi culture. Every year on the tenth day of the first lunar month, there is a "Jump Factory" event, and on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, there will be traditional festival events such as singing competitions (however, you may not be able to encounter these festivals during your daily travels).
Leisure and entertainment activities:
- Water activities: Shanzhen Village is located in the middle section of Huaxi Reservoir, surrounded by water on three sides. Huaxi Reservoir at the foot of the mountain is a great place to play. You can choose to row a boat, paddle on the blue waves, enjoy the mountains and villages on both sides, and experience the peaceful scenery of mountains and rivers. If you like more exciting sports, you can also try water sports such as kayaking.
- Taste the food: After a tiring day of playing, you can taste authentic Buyi cuisine in the village's farmhouses, such as konjac, cured meat, sausages, dried tofu, wild vegetables, and the villagers' own rice wine and quinoa wine. You can also choose to have an outdoor barbecue and enjoy a leisurely meal.
