[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Cuandixia (Updated Jul)

Cuandixia Village, also known as Chuandixia Village, is under the administration of Zhaitang Town in Mentougou District, Beijing. It's a traditional Chinese village located at an altitude of 650 meters, with a total area of 5.33 square kilometers. The village is built along the mountainside, following the natural terrain with buildings at various elevations. Currently, there are 74 sets of Qing Dynasty residences comprising 689 rooms. The upper and lower parts of the village are separated by an arc-shaped wall that is 200 meters long and up to 20 meters high at its tallest point. The front of the village is enclosed by a 170-meter-long bow-shaped wall, with three passages connecting the upper and lower sections. The scenic area is now free of admission fees, though parking is charged. The village isn't very large and can be explored in one day. Main attractions include Yixiantian (One-Line Sky), the Wealthy Household Courtyard, Longwang Temple, the Screen Wall, and ancient locust trees.

I used to visit this place as a child, but I haven't been back in years, so I decided to come back and take a look. It has authentic memories, but it is also full of commercial atmosphere. There weren't many people here during the Labor Day holiday, so it was a nice escape from the hustle and bustle. I quietly hiked up the mountain and walked along the village paths. It even rained a little, which made me feel cleansed. However, the smell of stinky tofu, barbecue smoke, and greasy kitchen odors in the air really ruined the mood. If you want to get away from the city and the hustle and bustle, it would be great to come here during a non-holiday. It's still worth a visit here.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? Then take an impromptu trip to the outskirts of Beijing, immerse yourself in the depths of the mountains, and encounter a healing slow life in the stunning terraced ancient village of Weizishui, giving your soul a break. 📍 Location: Weizishui Village, Mentougou, Beijing Here, the hustle and bustle of the city is left far behind, leaving only tranquil terraces, quaint courtyards, and a slow-paced life full of warmth ✨ 🎫 Admission: Free 🧭 Address: Weizishui Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing 🚗 Transportation: Driving is highly recommended. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from the city center. The road conditions are good, and there is a free parking lot at the entrance of the village. 🌾 Highlights 1. Stroll through the ancient village: There are 46 Ming and Qing Dynasty courtyards in the village, 5 of which are well preserved. Stroll along the small bridge and stone road, and every step will make you feel the unique charm of the 600-year-old village. You can easily take a retro blockbuster photo. 2. Terraced Field: The terraced fields outside the village are like a palette overturned by nature, changing colors with the seasons. In spring and summer, it is full of green, while in autumn and winter, it is golden. It is hard to imagine that Beijing hides such a spectacular terraced landscape. 3. Explore the ancient bridges: There are 13 bridges in the village, including 5 concrete bridges and 8 stone bridges. The carvings on the stone bridges are exquisite, and every pattern seems to tell a story of the past. 4. Pray for blessings at the ancient trees: The village has a long history of "one elm, two pagoda trees, and four ancient cypresses". It is said that praying here is very effective. You may wish to make a wish and add a touch of good expectations to your life. 📸 Photo Spots 1. Panoramic view of the terraces: The viewing platform on the high ground outside the village is an excellent location for shooting the terraces. Here, you can also overlook the reservoir dam. It is recommended to go in the morning or evening, and the soft light can make the photos full of texture. 2. Ancient Bridge: The stone bridge and the surrounding ancient houses and ancient trees complement each other, forming a beautiful picture of the ancient village, which is a popular spot for taking pictures. 3. Ming and Qing Dynasty Courtyards: Carved doors and windows and mottled walls are full of traces of time, and retro photos can be easily captured. 4. Mountain Trail: Climb to the top of the mountain along the trail, and you can have a panoramic view of the ancient village. The layout of the village is well-arranged and the scenery is spectacular. 5. Warm and lively streets: The old grandmothers in the village sit at the door and bask in the sun, and the smoke curls up, and the atmosphere of life is coming. Taking a photo at your convenience is full of story. ⚠️ Precautions 1. The commercial facilities in the village are relatively scarce, so it is recommended to bring your own water and snacks. 2. There are many stone roads in the village, so remember to wear comfortable shoes, slow down and feel the charm of the ancient village slowly. 3. Please do not disturb the lives of the villagers when taking pictures, and respect local culture and customs. 🌟 Why recommended The history of Weizishui Village can be traced back to the 20th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The Gao family, its ancestors, moved here from the Hongdong Big Pagoda Tree in Shanxi. Hundreds of households have the same ancestry and have been passed down to this day. Every stone road, every ancient building, ancient bridge, and ancient well here carries a profound history and culture. Compared with Cuandixia Village, this small and unpopular hidden ancient village has few tourists. There are no noisy crowds, only tranquil terraces, simple buildings, and a warm atmosphere, allowing people to enjoy comfort and simplicity. ⛩ Nearby attractions: Baimu Temple, Lingshui Imperial Village, Cuandixia Village, etc., can be visited together to make the journey more fulfilling.

The weather in Beijing is getting warmer in March🍃, which is a good time to start a trip to the suburbs of Beijing. Although the trees outside the suburbs are not yet green, the temperature is pleasant☀️. It's a good time to visit ancient villages, climb mountains⛰️, and take children for a walk on weekends. I haven't been to Mentougou District very often. Cuangdixia Village🏡 has been free to enter since May 1, 2024 (I don't know if the entrance fee will be reinstated later). Taking advantage of the free admission period🆓, I brought my child here for a visit. The village is relatively large, and the tourism facilities are quite well-developed, making it very suitable for weekend self-driving tours🚗. ⭕️Suggested Tour 1️⃣The north side of the village mainly consists of residential houses🏠.

The blue bricks and stone slabs have a historical feel, and the unique character "cuan" in the village's name attracts many tourists. ✅At the east entrance of the village, there is a stone wall inscribed with "This is Cuangdixia," and on the back of the wall, there is a brief introduction to the village. Next to it is a free small children's playground🆓 with some simple game facilities such as slides🛝, balance beams, and seesaws, suitable for young children. ✅Cuangye Rongxizhai at the east entrance of the village is a cultural and creative shop, but it was not open when we went there. There are some introductions about the origin of the village at the entrance📝. To the left of the shop is the entrance to Guandi Temple on the mountain. ✅Guandi Temple was not open, but during the climb, you can overlook the whole village from the viewing platform on the hillside. The view is quite good. ✅The front hall of Cai Zhu Yuan Da Wu Jian has now been converted into a red culture exhibition room🖼️, while the rear hall retains the original appearance of the living room and bedroom🛏️, which you can visit. ✅There are many restaurants, cafes, and tea houses on the main street of the village☕️. Among them, Cuan Lai Cuan Wang and Cuan Xiang Tea House are very suitable for relaxing, drinking coffee, or having tea🍵. ✅If you like taking photos, there are several "cuan" character photo spots📸 in the village: the "This is Cuangdixia" stone wall and the "I ❤️ Cuangdixia" stone wall at the east entrance of the village, the "cuan" character and the "Think Open-mindedly" wall on the main street in the middle of the village, and the "cuan" character wall near the well water copper statue down the hill from Cai Zhu Yuan Da Wu Jian. 🔴Parking When driving from the city, you will pass several parking lots🅿️ at the east of the village.

There are also parking lots and a small number of roadside parking spaces on the west side of the village. Traffic will be heavy on weekends and holidays. ⭕️Dining Stove-cooked fish🐟, local tofu, stewed chicken🐓, and cured meat are all local specialties, so you can try them. Prices are generally slightly higher💰, close to those in the city. 🔴Other It takes about 2-3 hours to visit the village. You can arrange to visit Lingshui Juren Village and Liulichu Village together.

As Beijing's only purely mountainous district, Mentougou's tourism resources can be categorized into four types: ancient western roads, famous temples, traditional villages, and natural landscapes. Historically, the ancient western roads of Beijing included military routes built by the government, commercial paths for coal transportation and mule caravans, and pilgrimage routes to temples. The existing ruins of these ancient roads stretch nearly 300 kilometers. The Jingxi Ancient Road Scenic Area in Shuiyuzui Village, Miaofeng Mountain Town, is a 3A-rated scenic spot. Besides the 3-li-long ancient road, it also features an ancient road museum and the first pass, Niujiaoling. Additionally, within the Julingxia Scenic Area in Qingshui Town, there's the Lingshan Ancient Road, the starting point for climbing Donglingshan, the "Roof of Beijing." Among the famous western mountains, there are many ancient temples. Within Mentougou, the most worthwhile temples to visit are the 4A-rated Tanzhe Temple and Jietai Temple. Tanzhe Temple, considered the origin of Beijing, was first built during the Western Jin Dynasty's Yongjia period. It's known as the first Buddhist temple in Youzhou and received royal patronage during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The temple boasts numerous attractions, from its architecture to its flowers and trees. Jietai Temple in Yongding Town was built during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The temple houses well-preserved Liao Dynasty Buddhist relics, including pagodas, scripture pillars, and ordination platforms. Five famous pine trees and prestigious peonies add to the temple's allure. Cuandixia Village in Zhaitang Town is Mentougou's most famous scenic spot. This ancient village on the western commercial road was once home to the Han clan. Its well-preserved Ming and Qing courtyard complexes have long been popular among artists and filmmakers. Mentougou's traditional villages are not limited to Cuandixia. Gushan Village, a 4A-rated scenic spot in Miaofeng Mountain Town; Malan Village, a red tourism village in Zhaitang Town; Yanhecheng Village, which originated as a military garrison; Lingshui Village, a 3A-rated scenic spot with eight scenic views; Shuangshitou Village, a stone village in the Cuanbai Scenic Area along with Cuandixia; and Baiyu Village, where ancient military music is preserved, are all worth a visit. Mountains form the backbone of Mentougou, and the rivers flowing through its valleys are its lifeblood. Mentougou's natural scenic areas are distributed among these mountains and rivers. Baihuashan Scenic Area is located within the Baihuashan National Nature Reserve. Its main attractions include Baihuashan Peak, Baihua Meadow, Wanghailou, and Baicao'an, each with its own unique features. Shuanglongxia Scenic Area in Zhaitang Town attracts summer visitors with its 10-li stream and numerous waterfalls, as well as thousands of mu of red apricots and vast forests. The 4A-rated Baqidou Cave, located one li from Tanzhe Temple, is a natural underground labyrinth. Shenquanxia in Miaofeng Mountain Town and Guacaodi Scenic Area in Wangping Town, both with unique geological formations, are known for their icefalls. Many scenic spots in Mentougou blend natural beauty and cultural heritage, such as the previously mentioned Julingxia with its ancient Lingshan Road. The fourteen temples on Miaofeng Mountain, led by the Niangniang Temple, have always been popular pilgrimage sites. Even if you're not religious, the area's sunrises, sunsets, unusual pine trees, strange rocks, and thousands of mu of roses are worth seeing. The Cuanbai Scenic Area not only includes cultural attractions like Cuandixia and Baiyu Village but also features the 1,773-meter-high Huangcaoliang and a narrow erosion canyon known as "Yixiantian" (A Thread of Sky). The name of the former Huayan ancestral temple, Baipu Temple in Yanchi Town, reflects its blend of natural and cultural elements. Due to its geographical location and limited transportation, in the past, only a few merchants, soldiers, and pilgrims traveled the ancient western roads of Mentougou. Today, it's no longer remote. A five-yuan ride on the BRT Line 4 from Fuchengmen takes only an hour to reach Dayu Subdistrict, where the Mentougou District government is located. The S1 Line maglev train is even faster. Multiple bus routes starting with "M" can also reach most of Mentougou's major scenic areas.

🌄 Aoyu Valley is located in Mentougou District, Beijing. It is a large valley between Shuangshitou Village and Cuandixia Village, with a total length of about 10 km and unique scenery. The river here is abundant all year round, and icefalls are everywhere in winter, like a fairy tale world of ice and snow. 🚗 Transportation 🚗 Self-driving: Aoyu Valley is not far from the city, so it is suitable for self-driving. Start from Junxiang Village, pass Qilifen to Aoyu Valley, then go to Donghulin, and finally return to Junxiang Village. The whole journey is 14 km and takes about 5 hours. 🚌 Public transportation: You can choose to get off at Qilifen and then walk into the scenic area. If you want to travel around the area, it is recommended to arrange two cars or take a bus in advance. 🗺️ Travel Route Planning 🚶‍♂️ Junxiang Village ➡️ Qilifen ➡️ Aoyu Valley ➡️ Donghulin ➡️ Junxiang Village 📏 The whole journey is 14 km, with an elevation gain of 300 m. The road conditions are good, with 50% of the road being village roads + river channels + very few steep slopes that require both hands and feet. 🚶‍♀️ Qilifen ➡️ Aoyu Valley ➡️ Donghulin 📏 The whole journey is 10 km, with an elevation gain of 300 m. It is suitable for two or more cars or bus trips. 🔄 Qilifen ➡️ Aoyu Valley and back 📏 The whole journey is 9 km, suitable for self-driving with a single car or with children, and you can return at any time. 🌉 Walking along the main road by the stream, you will first pass some small ice hanging areas, which are very suitable for taking photos. Continue to go deeper, and the spectacular main icefall is right in front of you. Standing under the icefall, it seems that time has frozen, and every drop of water is frozen into a crystal-clear artwork. Then, climb up along the small road next to it, and different angles bring different visual impacts. The scenery at the top of the mountain is equally charming. 📸 Recommended Attractions 🌟 First Icefall: A small dam near the entrance, with average scenery, can be passed quickly. 🌟 Second Icefall: Before climbing the steep slope, the ice surface here is relatively flat, suitable for stepping on ice and taking photos. 🌟 Third Icefall: You need to climb a steep slope (with ropes), and after bypassing it, you can see a more spectacular ice surface and icefall, which is definitely worth seeing. 💰 Ticket Information and Opening Hours 🚪 Aoyu Valley currently has no ticket fees and is open all day. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended to visit during the day. 🏨 Accommodation Guide 🏡 Cuandi Farmhouse: Offers authentic farmhouse dishes and a comfortable accommodation environment, very close to the scenic area. 🏠 Mentougou Homestay: Warm and tidy, suitable for family trips. 🍜 Food Recommendations 🍜 Zhajiangmian: A bowl of hot zhajiangmian with fresh vegetables is a warm comfort in winter. 🍠 Roasted Sweet Potatoes: The roasted sweet potatoes from roadside stalls are sweet and delicious, and you can warm your hands after eating. 📝 Tips 👟 Wear breathable, warm, and quick-drying base layers, and bring a down jacket or cotton coat. Don't forget crampons! 📱 Mobile phones and other electronic products are prone to power consumption and shutdown, so remember to stick a warm baby for insulation. 🚧 Do not go to remote roads alone, try to travel with companions, and pay attention to dark ice and gravel under your feet. 🌳 Protect the environment, do not litter, and keep this pure land clean.

Cuandixia Village, also known as Chuandixia Village, is located in Zhaitang Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, about 90 km from downtown Beijing. The village's dwellings are all old buildings from the late Qing Dynasty (a few from the early Republic of China), and the scenery is simple and quaint. Whether you are walking in the village or climbing the mountain to take panoramic photos, it is a great experience. It is also the filming location of the famous movie "The Warlords", and you can come here to find familiar scenes from the movie. Nowadays, there are many farmhouses in the village, where you can experience rural life by sleeping on a heated brick bed and eating farmhouse food. There are also attractions such as Yixiantian near the village, making it a great place for a relaxing weekend outing near Beijing. Cuandixia Village is not big, with a main road about 600 meters long, and the ancient buildings are mainly on the north side of the road. The Yixiantian Scenic Area is about 1-2 km from the village. Cars can enter the village from Monday to Friday, but on weekends, they can only be parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the village. However, you can walk around the village to enjoy the scenery. The main activities for tourists in Cuandixia Village are walking around the village to see the old buildings, taking photos of the sunrise and panoramic views of the village from the viewing platform, and experiencing rural life in the farmhouses. The tour takes about 1-2 days. The ancient buildings are the biggest feature of the village. There are more than 70 courtyards in the village, with nearly 700 buildings, all of which are old buildings from the late Qing Dynasty (a few from the early Republic of China). The old houses with blue bricks and gray tiles are stacked on the hillside and the valley below, forming the simple and quiet beauty of the village. You can stroll around the village and take photos, which is very pleasant. The old buildings in the village are also open to visitors, and the more impressive ones are the Landlord's Courtyard, Wudao Temple, and Guandi Temple, which are worth a visit. There is a viewing platform on the mountainside of Jinchanshan Mountain, about 200 meters opposite the village, where you can overlook the entire village. It is a popular place for photography enthusiasts, and it is a great place to take stunning photos at sunrise and sunset. In addition, there is a Yixiantian Scenic Area about 1-2 km west of the village, but the Yixiantian here is not as good as those in Shidu and Shilinxia near Beijing. Interested tourists can go there for a visit.

Cuandixia Village is a very famous ancient village in Beijing. The western part of Beijing is full of stone mountains. Take the newly opened Beijing-Wu Expressway, and you will pass through one tunnel after another, which is very impressive. Cuandixia Village has well-preserved ancient architecture, with buildings arranged along the mountain slopes. With Longtou Mountain as the center, the north-south central axis controls the layout of more than 70 exquisite courtyard houses, which are arranged in two layers along the mountain slopes in a radial pattern on a limited site. The buildings are distributed in a rigorous and harmonious manner, with orderly changes. The overall layout of the village resembles a "gourd" or an "ingot", symbolizing "fortune" and "wealth", giving the ancient village an auspicious meaning. There are many inns and farmhouses in the village, making it convenient to eat. It is recommended to drive directly into the village, as some parking lots offer free parking if you dine in the village. There are hiking trails on the mountains in front and behind the village, making it easy to climb and enjoy the village's scenery. There is also a natural landform called Yixiantian at the village entrance, which is worth a visit. Living in the fast-paced city life, you can come to Cuandixia Village on weekends to experience a slower pace of life and relax.

I've wanted to come here for a long time, but never had the chance. Today, I finally made it. This is a well-preserved traditional ancient village! The village is built on a mountain, with a staggered layout. With the back of the village as the center and the north-south axis, the whole village is fan-shaped. The overall layout of the village looks like a "gourd" or "ingot" from above. The builders of the village intended to take the meaning of "fortune" and "wealth" to give the ancient village an auspicious meaning. "Cuàn" originally meant cooking, and it is said that this was the place where the Supreme Lord Laozi refined elixirs and gathered treasures. The village is surrounded by mountains, so it is called Cuandixia Village. The village is not big, and it takes about two hours to walk around. 📸 Check-in points: 1. The Landlord's Courtyard: Located on the central axis of the village, it is the highest point and a well-preserved courtyard.

There is a temple on the mountain opposite the village, where you can see the ingot-shaped layout of the entire village. 🍽 Local farm food. The one I tried was average, so I don't recommend it. You can try others. The accommodation is average, with slightly simple conditions. You can experience the traditional heated brick bed. 🚗 Driving is the most convenient. It is about 90 km from downtown Beijing, and it takes 1.5 hours to drive. You can make a round trip in one day! 🚌 Take bus 929 from the Apple Garden subway station to Zhaitang, and then take a taxi from Zhaitang to Cuandixia Village.

Cuandixia Village I once took a popular minibus to Cuandixia Village in Zhaitang Town, Mentougou in the 1990s. At that time, the mountain road was rugged and narrow, and the car actually collided with the car on the opposite side when it reached the corner of the mountain, causing the car window to break. When I got home, it was midnight, which was a thrilling journey. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I drove through the tunnel and watched the mountains. I didn't realize that I had come to Cuandixia Village. During the festival, the small village was full of private cars, and the subsequent vehicles could not find a parking space, so they had to unload people first and return a few kilometers to find a parking space. Who would have thought that in less than thirty years, an ancient village in a deep mountain ditch would become a popular tourist check-in spot for Beijing citizens. The changes are so great that it is amazing. The ancient village, looking at the overall layout of the village, looking at the remaining Qing Dynasty houses, listening to the cultural stories left by history, and allowing tourists to participate in the classic works created by famous tourist attractions. As soon as I walked into the village entrance, I got a "2024 Beijing West Mountain Yongding River Culture Festival and the Third Beijing West Mountain Water Carnival Activity Guide". This activity guide has different activity content as time goes by. The ancient village not only shows the history, but also gives new content. "Cuan" fun treasure hunt, music bonfire, check-in surprise, add firewood to pray for blessings, watch performances to get lucky flowers, etc., interesting activities, interesting games, make tourists who enter the ancient village interesting. Passing a house, the door wrote "Lantern Workshop is here, Shangfang Jiewa is in the backyard", and suddenly became interested in "Shangfang Jiewa". When I went into the backyard, it turned out to be a comprehensive check-in area designed by the carnival. In order to realize the dream of going to the roof to uncover the tiles in childhood, the scenic spot designed a place to go to the roof to uncover the tiles in the courtyard. Tourists can look at the mountain view in the distance and take a group photo. Then send the picture to the circle of friends, after getting enough likes, you will get a small gift. In the ancient village, in addition to the famous tourists, there are also many creative creators who quietly stare at the mountain village in the distance and concentrate on creation. Standing on the viewing platform on the mountain, the melodious music echoed in the mountains, and the rising balloons in the courtyard interpreted the mythological story "Chang'e flying to the moon". Once upon a time, the once dilapidated ancient village, the old look changed to a new look, not only has a long history and culture, but also has become the main venue of the West Mountain Water Carnival, which is amazing.

🏕When it comes to Cuan Dixia Village, many people are familiar with it. My last visit was in the winter of 19, with temperatures around minus 5.6 degrees. The entire village had only a few of us, a bit desolate. The fragrance of the landlady's grilled fish could be smelled from afar, and the lazy kittens roamed around the large courtyard, acting like a living map, occasionally leading you a bit of the way before lying down to find a place to sleep. · 🌥The weather last week was constantly changing, and you never knew when it would start pouring rain. Luckily, it was very refreshing. It took an hour and a half from the city to Cuan Dixia, and the mountain roads were very easy to navigate. It should have been the peak tourist season in Beijing, but we accidentally had the place to ourselves. · 🏞I'm very familiar with the village, so I went straight to the viewing platform, which is located at the first village entrance on the left. I wanted to see the green paths winding through the mountains and the distant houses intersecting, the neat terraced fields making the village more playful, and the gradient-colored grass looking uneven from afar, adding a bit of spirituality. ⛺️The village is divided into several key attractions: One Line Sky✅ The natural barrier of Cuan Dixia Village, a crevice over 100 meters long, is known as a natural wonder and has a unique landscape, earning it the name 'One Line Sky'. Hiking through this narrow crevice, you can feel the natural wonder of nature's craftsmanship.

Siheyuan Screen Wall✅ For the local independent courtyards, the screen wall is an indispensable part of the layout, representing their good intentions and hopes. 🌴The One Line Sky in summer, a green beam of light, brightens up the entire canyon. Can you imagine an action-packed fight scene, and will the distant racing cars meet again easily? We'll wait and see. · 🌧On the way back, it started to rain very suddenly. We had to find a temporary place to rest, which turned out to be a coffee shop that opened in the past two years. At the entrance of the courtyard, I could see the TV, bicycle, thermos, and old clothes and cans from my childhood. The style is very traditional, with an antique flavor. I believe the owner must be a 'naughty boy'! · 🌬We set off while it was still raining a bit. The coffee shop owner said if you look up from the small courtyard, you can see 'Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity', a very magical scenery, where turtles and bats clearly appear in the sky. 🚘Transportation 🚖Route: Follow the G109 national highway, enter Zhaibai Road, and drive 5.3 kilometers along Zhaibai Road to reach Cuan Dixia Village.

This scene should only exist in the mountain village, as they say. When I came, I was worried about the rain, but around the corner, I encountered a sea of clouds. · 💫Life is like this, bringing you new surprises and hopes when you are caught off guard and in a hurry. Going out on a rainy day is not bad at all, instead, the sunny doll took a break today, and the cloud sea baby went to work. You say, don't change the day of departure, who knows how many surprises you'll encounter! · 🌈I'm willing to call every unexpected moment in life a 'magical power'. Life always has a bit of sweetness, making you forget the temporary displeasure, and then another village appears, bright and full of flowers.
