井頭灣村

What travelers say:

Jingtouwan Village is located in Dashiqiao Township, Jianghua Yi Autonomous County. It is listed on the list of traditional Chinese villages due to the retention of a large number of ancient Qing Dynasty houses in the village, plus the beautiful natural ecological environment. Jianghua is located in the southernmost part of Hunan Province, in the Nanling Mountains at the junction of Xianggui and Guangdong Province. The ancient houses in the village were built during the Qing Guangxu to Qianlong period and are a combination of Yi and Han architectural culture. The most obvious feature is the symmetrical design, which is a cultural feature of the Han people. In addition, the house is divided into two floors, which is quite ethnic minority style. Jingtouwan villagers are surnamed Jiang, their ancestors are the new Gong, the village head has a worship ancestors' temple. In fact, the Jiang clan had lived here in the Ming Dynasty, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was decayed by the plague, only the new Gong was left alone, he was hardworking and simple, relying on help relatives to herd cattle, slowly re-established a family, and moved back to the original site, opened branches and leaves, and finally became the scale of today. The most distinctive of the village is the big house, the largest of which is called the "three big houses". The house has nine patios, more than 130 doors, houses, each room is square, and there is a wide two-story attic, which can be used for meetings. It is understood that the first floor is used for residents and the second floor is used for storing items. It can be imagined that a family of hundreds of people live together, and everyone gets along together, which must be very lively. The name of Jingtou Bay comes from the water source of the village, a pool of natural spring water. The village is backed by Longhu Mountain. The villagers call this spring water Longtan, and people rely on it for their daily lives. In addition, there is a West River flowing in front of the village, which moistens the land. There is a restaurant next to Longtan. Before eating here, people wash their hands directly in Longtan to get a touch of its aura. The tourism package of the ancient village is relatively missing, and there is no sign sign in the ancient building. When I first arrived, I was a little confused. I met the local village cadres. He called us an obligatory commentator, so that we could add a lot of color to the village visit. The duty interpreter is a local villager. Under his leadership, we also entered the villager's home. The Yi grandmother showed us handmade brocade on the spot. It was really an eye-opener. This is the first village of the Yi family brocade in China. At noon, the village cadres also warmly invited us to eat together, tasted local tofu, chicken, bacon and other delicacies, and asked us to promote more people to understand this beautiful ancient village. As an ancient village enthusiast, we have visited many ancient villages over the years. In terms of personal feelings, Jingtouwan Village has very rich tourism resources, and is well-known in the local area. If you can increase investment and improve supporting facilities, you will definitely attract more tourists.
