Shenpo Village
深坡村
A Song-dynasty Yao and Han ancient village about 16 km northeast of the county seat, where an 800-meter three-inlaid flagstone street, gateways, and the Jiang Clan Ancestral Hall are well preserved.
Shenpo Village is located in Gepo Town, about 16 km from the county seat. It was founded during the Shaoding era of the Southern Song dynasty and is a village where Yao and Han people live together. It is listed among China's Traditional Villages. The village is built around a flagstone street about 800 meters long, paved in a three-inlaid pattern, with more than ten large and small gateways, the Jiang Clan Ancestral Hall, and the Ji Gong Ancestral Hall. Irrigation channels run past the homes. Six jinshi, imperial exam graduates, came from the village in history. It sees few visitors, which makes it peaceful for photography. Admission is free, and a visit takes about an hour.
