Xutangdi Ancient Village | A secluded village hidden in the southern mountains of Zhejiang
"Dimly seen the distant village, with smoke rising from the hamlet," as one of the most intact ancient villages in Taishun, Xutangdi Village (pronounced the same as "Ao") has existed in this mountain basin for nearly 800 years.
Although it is called Xutangdi, the villagers do not bear the surname Xu; it was named to commemorate Xu Zhen, who led troops to resist Fang La.
The ancient village's houses are distributed along different streets, following the mountain's contour, arranged in a scattered and orderly fashion, with alleys extending in all directions. Although most of the villagers have moved out, the village is still surrounded by streams, crisscrossed by paths, with frogs croaking and insects chirping, presenting a picture of a pastoral retreat.
This is also the filming location of 'Happiness Trio.' The entire village is simple and quiet, with a low degree of commercialization, retaining the beauty of an ancient village's original ecology.

The village is antique. I walked into a college at the door. There was a lounge chair on the side. I sat there and watched the maple leaves blowing down. I was walking in. A bitter bead tree for 800 years. I heard from the aunt on the side that she relied on this tree for a year. Fruits, picked fruits can be made bitter bead slices, sold to the bamboo farmhouse in front. One year, you can have a thousand harvests, go inside, see some little girls doing activities, carrying sedan chairs, marrying brides 👰

Xu Yidi Ancient Village, the ancient village is not surnamed Xu, the villagers are surnamed Wu, Wumen Millennium Culture, Wu Yigong's wisdom, let the children and grandchildren learn endlessly!
I personally like this ancient village. Although there is a feeling of people going to the building after entering, there are many daily necessities left when the house is gone. It has not been renovated specially, and it has not been a real tourist attraction to buy tickets. It has not been commercialized yet, and a lot of original flavor is retained. The two days I went there were rains. I felt particularly smelly and felt more than a sunny day. I went for two consecutive days and it was really worth a visit!
The whole ancient village gives people a very comfortable feeling and the atmosphere is great
Very well-preserved old house, a quiet place
