丁村民宅
A Ming and Qing residential complex and folk museum in Dingcun, Xiangfen, with a nearby exhibit on the Paleolithic Dingcun Man site.
Dingcun lies on the east bank of the Fen River, south of Xiangfen county town. The village preserves dozens of Ming and Qing courtyard houses, which now make up the Dingcun Folk Museum. It presents folk customs from southern Shanxi, including weddings, funerals, farming, and festivals. In 1954, Paleolithic fossils known as 'Dingcun Man' were discovered here, and the Dingcun Site Museum was built beside the village. Check the official website for ticket prices. It is about 35 km from Linfen city center. A visit takes about 2 hours and can be combined with the Taosi Site and the Fencheng Ancient Architectural Complex.
