It is known as the "Chinese Ming and Qing Architecture Open Air Museum" because of its numerous ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
I was particularly curious when I first heard the name of this ancient village.

It strictly follows the "Five Elements and Nine Palaces" layout. There are more than a hundred streets and lanes in the ancient village.
