Nanping Village
南屏村
Yi County's “China Film and TV Village,” where Ju Dou and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were shot. Deep, winding lanes and ancestral halls fill the village.
Nanping lies about 4 km southwest of Yi County seat and is home to the Ye, Cheng, and Li clans. More than 300 Ming and Qing buildings survive, including the Ye Branch Ancestral Hall and Ye Kuiguang Hall, both impressively large. The village lanes twist and turn like a labyrinth. Zhang Yimou filmed the dye-workshop scenes of Ju Dou here, and dozens of other films and TV dramas, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, have used the village as a location, earning it the name “China's Film and TV Village.” Admission is about ¥43. With fewer visitors than Xidi or Hongcun, it suits slow exploring and sketching, and it can be paired with Xidi on the same day.
