Shen'ao Village

The ancient village is located on the south bank of the Fuchun River in Tonglu County, Hangzhou. Its history is very ancient. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the ancestors of the Shentu clan moved here, starting the chapter of this secluded ancient village. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shen'ao ancient village had developed to its heyday, and most of the Huizhou-style buildings in the village were also built during that period. Strolling through the narrow alleys of the ancient village, towering houses, deep lanes, long cobblestone paths, and one after another 'Ao Kou' come into view. As early as when the village was established, an independent water system was planned. An 800-meter-long underground channel runs through the village, perfectly reflecting against the ancient buildings with white walls and black tiles, forming a unique style!
