Longtan Village
龙潭村
A standout village of the Art-Driven Rural Revitalization movement. Former family homes now house studios, guesthouses and folk-music bars, where visitors paint by day and listen to music by night.
Longtan Village is in Xiling Township. It preserves Ming and Qing buildings, including Huicun Bridge, the Chen Ancestral Hall and the Qucheng koji yards. It is also the home of Siping opera, a national intangible cultural heritage. In recent years, the public oil-painting classes run under the slogan “Everyone Is an Artist” have attracted many new residents. Old family houses have been turned into studios, cafés and bookshops, and visitors can try oil painting for free. The village is free to enter. Guesthouses fill up quickly on weekends. The village is about 40 minutes by car from the county seat and is often visited together with Siping Village on the same day.
