Introduction

Xidi Village has a history of nearly a thousand years. In 2000, it was listed as a world cultural heritage site and is known as "the most beautiful village in the world" and "a treasure trove of ancient residential architecture." Here, there are hundreds of well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty ancient houses, with buildings and roads paved with marble. Two clear springs run through the village, and 99 high walls and deep alleys form a maze-like structure. The Qing stone archway is the most famous landmark in the village, built in 1578, and is a symbol of the prominent status of the Hu family. It is exquisitely crafted and majestic in appearance. In addition, Lufu Hall and Daifu Mansion are both classic buildings in Xidi, with the latter now used as a venue for folk activities such as "throwing embroidered balls" by ladies in ancient costumes on high buildings. Every year from March to April, when the rapeseed flowers bloom, visitors to Xidi Village can enjoy the stunning scenery of white walls and black tiles set amongst the blossoming flowers.
