Xucun Village
许村
A thousand-year-old village in northern She County, with many Ming and Qing archways, ancestral halls, and covered bridges. It is one of the most concentrated villages of Huizhou culture.
Xucun lies about 20 km north of She County seat. The Xu clan has lived here for more than a thousand years, and over a hundred Ming and Qing buildings survive. These include the Shuangshou Chengen Archway, the Wuma Archway and other memorial archways, Daguan Pavilion, the Gaoyang Covered Bridge, and the Xu Ancestral Hall. The village follows a stream, with quiet lanes, and it has more of a lived-in feel than Xidi or Hongcun. Admission is sold separately, and you can taste local snacks in the village. From She County seat, it takes about 30 minutes by car.
