Cuandixia 爨底下村
Chuandixia is a Ming dynasty village, 62 miles/100 km west of Beijing, China.
The route is narrow, mountain road. Without traffic, we get there in two hours.
35 per person to enter the village. Parking is free in a few lots along the road. As we were debating to park or continue to drive further into the one street village, a young woman said she’s parking space opposite fm her home for diners. She then got into her small white car and led us in. I wondered out loud why didn’t she ride a bike or motorbike for easy maneuvering. The village would be better off without cars altogether.
