Chuandixia Village Best Routes：

A stone carved with a huge Chinese character “爨” (Cuan) serves as a screen wall of the village standing by the entrance. This is the east-west street road in front of the village houses. North of the street road are located the ancient houses perched on the hillside. South of the street road is the south side where you can have a bird-eye’s view of the village. Then have a circuit hike around the village. Begin your circular walk from southeast at the stone stairs leading to Goddess Temple. The stone stairs leading to Goddess Temple is the best starting point for your cirlular hike.

Tikets and Hours of Chuandixia Village：

RMB 35, including Chuandixia Village, Baiyu Village and Huanglingxi Village

Tips:

1. There were almost no tourists on a weekday in early November--a lot of the guesthouses/restaurants weren't even open. I asked around many places and it was about 60-100 RMB for a room (ones with those heatable brick beds [kang4] can sleep up to 5 people)
