Features: On a clear and pleasant morning 700 years ago, the sound of horse hooves echoed on the cobblestone ancient road. A young man from the He family, leaving the deep courtyard of Wuyi County, moved to a small mountain-encircled village 10 kilometers away. His arrival gradually transformed this place into a secluded and cave-like residence for the noble and prestigious family. This beautiful small village is Guodong. Today, Guodong is hailed as the "Fengshui Village of Jiangnan." Together with 11 other ancient villages such as Xidi and Hongcun in Anhui Province, and Liukeng in Jiangxi Province, it was officially announced by the state as the first batch of "Chinese Historical and Cultural Villages." This book takes us into the ancient and mystical Guodong, as if we are stepping into the depths of mysterious history—this book is richly illustrated and serves as a reference for travel enthusiasts, tour guides in the tourism industry, and those studying local humanistic and historical culture.
