Hidden deep within the Shenxian Valley of Yunqiu Mountain in Linfen, Shanxi Province, Talpo Ancient Village is a secret ancient village with a history of over 2,500 years.
The ancient village is nestled against the mountains and beside the water. Some courtyards are built along the hillside, and the buildings are all constructed of bluestone. Stone cave dwellings, stone walls, and stone roads are integrated seamlessly. There are stone-arched cave dwellings as well as stone caves and earthen caves carved into the mountainside, earning it the reputation of a living fossil of thousand-year-old folk architecture.
