Features: The elegant and stately Tuanyun Tower, the staggered horse-head walls, and the 700-year-old Xinye Village preserve an ancient and complete village planning. Private academies, schools, academies, and the Wenchang Pavilion are everywhere in the village, serving as tangible evidence of the agricultural-reading culture of rural Jiangnan: the villagers have passed down the ideal of "farming can bring wealth, and reading can elevate one's status" from generation to generation.
