Fujian Fuan's century-old earth building ancient village - Dakeng

Century-old ancient village - Dakeng, Dongqi Village, Fuan, Fujian, an ancient village composed of earth building architecture, with hundreds of years of history. The village is built on the hillside, with dozens of earth and wood houses built according to the mountain, facing the bay, with a wide view and an excellent location. Now there are only a dozen elderly people living in the village, and other villagers have moved to the city. The children of the elderly have also moved to the city. They are unwilling to live in buildings and are still accustomed to the earth houses and the surrounding environment here. According to the elderly, there were more than 400 people in the village at its most prosperous time, and the whole village was descendants of the same family, all surnamed Sun. The structure of the earth buildings in the village is almost the same, in the form of a quadrangle, not small in scale, and they were all considered mansions at that time. Most of them are two stories high, with the lower part built with stone blocks as the foundation of the house, and the upper part is an earth and wood structure. Although many have been ruined, the past glory is still visible. Various vegetables are grown on the open space in front of and behind the houses, and the elderly are self-sufficient. When visiting the village, the elderly will also enthusiastically invite to eat, no admission fee, no consumption.
