Chengzi Ancient Village
城子古村
A cliffside Yi-Han village of earthen-roofed houses in Luxi County, with hundreds of flat-roofed homes linked together and known as “China's No. 1 Earthen-Roof Village.”
Chengzi Ancient Village sits in Yongning Township, Luxi County, about 40 km from Mile city. Hundreds of flat-roofed earthen houses are stacked up the hillside, their roofs connected so you can walk across them from one to the next. The village also keeps Ming and Qing-era compounds, including the General's Residence. Historically it was an important military and trading stronghold in southeastern Yunnan. Life here goes on as usual, which makes it great for photos and slow strolls. Please respect the villagers: don't enter private homes or climb on the roofs. It pairs well with Aluo Ancient Cave for a day trip.
