Baiwu Village, Nagu
白雾村
An ancient village at the starting point of the Ming and Qing capital copper shipments, with guild halls, ancestral halls, old streets and a former granary converted into a bookstore. It has become very popular in recent years.
Baiwu Village lies in Nagu Town, about 20 km northwest of Huize county seat. During the Ming and Qing dynasties it was the first stop for Huize copper ore being shipped out, and it was once called 'Little Huize'. The village preserves the Sansheng Temple, the Wanshou Palace, the Chuqian Guild Hall and other temples and guild halls, along with hundreds of traditional houses. Its old streets wind over flagstone paths. The Chuqian Guild Hall has been converted into the Dubai Shuyuan (Dubai Academy), and a bookstore in a former granary is a popular photo spot. It is one of China's traditional villages. Entry to the village is free, though some venues depend on on-site arrangements. The drive from the county seat takes about 40 minutes, and half a day is recommended.
