Overview of ancient villages

The steep stone walls on the north and south sides of huangtandong ancient village towered into the sky, which laid a natural barrier for huangtandong. Two clear streams pass through the village. The stone bridge on the stream connects the village and the countryside succinctly. The stream here is very special because its riverbed is almost made up of mountains and rocks, and the river bed is moving and static. As the sun sets, the flowing water is murmuring and sparkling, the seedlings are fragrant, and the farmers are farming cattle, which is a farming style in southern Zhejiang. In this depression, the villagers say that as long as they speak louder, they can hear from the east to the West and from the north to the south. This is obviously an exaggeration. However, if you are in Huangtan cave, Wenzhou, a prosperous commercial city in China, and you can still maintain such a complete original ecological village, you are not willing to disturb the village at all. This is a kind of quiet and spiritual purification and sublimation brought by Huangtan cave.

The mansion in the east of the ancient village was built in the Qing Dynasty, more than 200 years ago. The mansion is located in the northwest and southeast of the building. It is built against the mountain and has a large courtyard. It is a typical courtyard building. The main room is five bay, with pavilions on both sides. The stone wall, the courtyard door antique, the doors and windows of the house is also quite exquisite carving. Huangtandong ancient village (Village) gate is located on the West hillside of the village. The stone village gate is about 3 meters high, simple and magnificent. On both sides of the gate are huge stones and forests. It is held in a dangerous place, with the trend of "one man is in charge of the pass, ten thousand men are not allowed to open". The whole frame of Shizhai gate is made of stones. The original wooden gate has been damaged due to disrepair. In the past, there were four entrances to huangtandong village in the southeast, northwest, and East. Due to the construction of the road in the east of the village, the new entrance to the east of the village is more convenient to enter Huangtan cave.
