Pengjiazhai Tujia Village
彭家寨
A Tujia stilt-house village built into a hillside in Shadaogou Town, Xuan'en County. It is well preserved and represents western Hubei's stilt-house architecture.
Pengjiazhai is located in Shadaogou Town, Xuan'en County, Enshi Prefecture. It is one of the best-preserved Tujia stilt-house clusters in western Hubei. Dozens of timber stilt houses are stacked up the hillside. In front of the village, a Liangting Bridge, an iron-chain covered bridge, spans a stream. Tile-roofed wooden houses stand against rice paddies and bamboo groves. The Pengjiazhai Ancient Building Complex is a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. Villagers still live here. Admission is free, but please do not enter private homes without permission. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Xuan'en County town and about 2.5 hours from downtown Enshi, making it well suited to self-driving.
