Donglong Ancient Village
东龙村
A Hakka ancient village hidden in a mountain basin. It is a Traditional Chinese Village and a Famous Historical and Cultural Village, with ancestral halls, academies and old dwellings preserved intact.
Donglong Village lies in Tianbu Township, southeast of Ningdu County. Ringed by mountains, the village sits in a high mountain basin. Historically it was known for combining farming with scholarship. The village still preserves Ming and Qing ancestral halls, academies, memorial archways and dozens of Hakka dwellings, with old lanes, ponds and rice fields all in harmony. It was listed as a Traditional Chinese Village in 2013 and as a Famous Historical and Cultural Village of China in 2014. Entry to the village is free. It lies about 40 km from the county seat. The mountain roads are narrow, so driving yourself is recommended, and you should try Hakka cuisine while in the village.
