[2025 Lingchuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Li River Craftsman Village (Updated May)

Dongli Ancient Village Attraction(also known as Lishui People) is located on the Chaotian River in Daxu Town, Lingchuan County, only 19 kilometers away from Guilin City. It is not only a living Lijiang traditional cultural and artistic village, but also a wild luxury pastoral life complex that can provide an immersive humanistic experience. With Chinese traditional culture and oriental life aesthetics as the main line, it is committed to rural revitalization. Over the past ten years, it has outlined a paradise-like poetry and wine life, presenting a return to nature of "seeing mountains, seeing water, and remembering homesickness". 【Inheritance Creation】 Folk handicrafts are like blood. In the long river of history, most of them have evolved into a family-inherited job, from father to son, and from son to son... Dongli Ancient Village workshops and craftsmen are all related to ordinary life. At first, they may just be for livelihood, but as time goes by, these survival skills are superimposed with layers of emotions and are endowed with cultural meanings, becoming a unique cultural landscape. Unique handicrafts, accompanied by the breath of history and the warmth of handwork, are passed down from generation to generation here, never stopping. 【Parent-child fun】 Nature is the first textbook and an interesting teacher, and Dongli Ancient Village is a very suitable classroom for nature education. The joyful chirping of birds and insects in the mountains and forests, and the swaying fish and shrimps in the river allow children to escape from the siege of electronic products, return to nature, integrate into nature, release their innocence, and feel the natural aesthetics that are different from the city. 【Green bricks and green tiles】 The traditional architecture of Dongli Ancient Village is an ancient village in northern Guangxi that was rebuilt after a detailed investigation of Guilin, especially the ancient Hunan-Guangxi trade route and the ancient villages along the Li River, and a careful study of the cultural history, architectural forms and living conditions of key villages. Whether it is bricks, tiles, doors and windows, or eaves and horse-head walls, every word, painting, carving and engraving in the house reflects the exquisite skills of the craftsmen. Every building can be traced back and is full of stories. 【Eat in season】 Mountains are alive because of water, and people live because of water. The mountains and rivers intoxicate tourists, and the impressions are all poetry. Food is often the result of the nurturing of green mountains and clear waters. The local soil and water produce local products. Dongli Ancient Village has always followed the traditional farming concept of "eating in season", obtaining fresh ingredients in season locally, and the local customs made by experienced gourmets are indescribably delicious. 【Ancient B&B】 The homestays in Dongli Ancient Village are renovated from old buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every brick, tile and wood has its origin, and their prototypes can be found in the ancient villages in northern Guangxi. The homestays in Dongli Ancient Village encompass the essence of all the ancient buildings in Souvenir Guangxi, such as Deyue Tower in Liugong Village, Yangshuo, Hongyin Bridge in Quanzhou, Qin Family Courtyard in Xing'an, and representative residential buildings in the twelve counties and districts of Guilin, such as Lingchuan, Guanyang and Pingle. Compared with those single homestays, the bricks, tiles and plants here are full of affection, and the old furniture, old objects and old utensils, coupled with modern hardware facilities, allow guests to experience the intangible cultural heritage and authentic customs of northern Guangxi while staying, and have a unique cultural experience.
