Xiadi Village
厦地古村
A rammed-earth village nearly 800 years old. Cafés and guesthouses converted from old houses by architects attract creative travellers.
Xiadi Village is in the southwest of Pingcheng Township, about 7 km from the county seat. The village is laid out along paddy fields and preserves large areas of rammed-earth timber houses and old footpaths. In recent years, a team of architects has converted the village into the Paddy Field Bookstore, a café and guesthouses. It is little commercialised and peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxed half-day of strolling and photography. The village is free to enter. It is best reached by car or chartered vehicle.
