I simply loved this village. It is the only twon to survive the Cultural Revolution intact and has recently been granted World Heritage Listing. It is starting to become popular with Chinese tourists, but still not many westerners there yet. For this reason we had some wonderful experiences with the locals. The Children and old people were expecially interested and friendly. The others could still spot a buck and we were treated as such, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
