Ancient village in the deep mountains, a carnival in the mountains and waters of the western suburbs of Beijing.

Cuandixia Village I once took a popular minibus to Cuandixia Village in Zhaitang Town, Mentougou in the 1990s. At that time, the mountain road was rugged and narrow, and the car actually collided with the car on the opposite side when it reached the corner of the mountain, causing the car window to break. When I got home, it was midnight, which was a thrilling journey. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I drove through the tunnel and watched the mountains. I didn't realize that I had come to Cuandixia Village. During the festival, the small village was full of private cars, and the subsequent vehicles could not find a parking space, so they had to unload people first and return a few kilometers to find a parking space. Who would have thought that in less than thirty years, an ancient village in a deep mountain ditch would become a popular tourist check-in spot for Beijing citizens. The changes are so great that it is amazing. The ancient village, looking at the overall layout of the village, looking at the remaining Qing Dynasty houses, listening to the cultural stories left by history, and allowing tourists to participate in the classic works created by famous tourist attractions. As soon as I walked into the village entrance, I got a "2024 Beijing West Mountain Yongding River Culture Festival and the Third Beijing West Mountain Water Carnival Activity Guide". This activity guide has different activity content as time goes by. The ancient village not only shows the history, but also gives new content. "Cuan" fun treasure hunt, music bonfire, check-in surprise, add firewood to pray for blessings, watch performances to get lucky flowers, etc., interesting activities, interesting games, make tourists who enter the ancient village interesting. Passing a house, the door wrote "Lantern Workshop is here, Shangfang Jiewa is in the backyard", and suddenly became interested in "Shangfang Jiewa". When I went into the backyard, it turned out to be a comprehensive check-in area designed by the carnival. In order to realize the dream of going to the roof to uncover the tiles in childhood, the scenic spot designed a place to go to the roof to uncover the tiles in the courtyard. Tourists can look at the mountain view in the distance and take a group photo. Then send the picture to the circle of friends, after getting enough likes, you will get a small gift. In the ancient village, in addition to the famous tourists, there are also many creative creators who quietly stare at the mountain village in the distance and concentrate on creation. Standing on the viewing platform on the mountain, the melodious music echoed in the mountains, and the rising balloons in the courtyard interpreted the mythological story "Chang'e flying to the moon". Once upon a time, the once dilapidated ancient village, the old look changed to a new look, not only has a long history and culture, but also has become the main venue of the West Mountain Water Carnival, which is amazing.
