Bailang Forestry Folk Village
白狼镇
A folk village of log-notched houses in a former forestry town, with exhibits on forest life and iron-pot stews, and a base for exploring Bailang Peak.
Bailang Town lies about 25 km south-east of Arxan town. It grew out of an old forestry bureau logging station, and the town has preserved and rebuilt many traditional forest dwellings, such as log-notched houses (muke leng) and plank-and-mud houses, forming the Forestry Folk Village. Exhibits show logging tools, forest life and northeastern folk customs. Guesthouses and farmhouse restaurants serve iron-pot stew and wild vegetables. In autumn the birch and larch forests around the town turn yellow, and in winter the deep snow makes it a good place to photograph village scenes. The village is generally free to enter. It can be combined with Bailang Peak in a half-day trip, and it makes a convenient place to stay if you want to avoid the crowds in the town centre.
