Xiongcun Village
雄村
A Cao clan village on the banks of the Xin'an River, known for Zhushan Academy and the Peach Blossom Dam. It was a Qing-era Huizhou village famous for its imperial examination success.
Xiongcun lies about 7 km south of She County seat, on the upper reaches of the Xin'an River along the Jian River. In the Qing dynasty, the Cao family produced several jinshi (imperial examination graduates). Among them, Cao Wenshi and his son Cao Zhenyong later rose to the posts of minister and Grand Secretary. Zhushan Academy, built along the river, has an elegantly laid-out garden and is a representative example of Huizhou academy architecture. The Peach Blossom Dam along the river blooms in spring. It can be combined with Yuliang Dam and Maihua Fishing Village on the same day, by self-drive or hired car.
