Chuandixia | Search l Korean | |
Chuandixia is located at Zhaitang-zhen, Mentougou-qu, Beijing-city. The traditional mountain village is 90km away from the center of Beijing to west. It has been set up at a southwestern slope of mountain along an ancient post road. Such a location made the village flourish then. The clan village was inhabited by Han's family in the late Ming dynasty. Its population was dramatically decreased during the War against Japan when most of the young villagers died, and is 70 people, as now. The houses of the village show how variously the geometric form of Siheyuan can be transformed according to the topographical conditions of sites. |
