Sunjiagou Village
孙家沟村
A village surrounded by mountains on all sides and recognized as a Chinese Historic and Cultural Village, home to the Wang family's Thirteen Connected Courtyards, said to be the largest group of cave-dwelling courtyards in Shanxi.
Sunjiagou Village is in Sanjiao Town, Linxian County, and was added to the seventh batch of Chinese Historic and Cultural Villages in 2018. The village is surrounded by mountains on all four sides, with a small basin in the middle. A stream runs through the village, and on both sides of the flagstone lanes stand Ming and Qing cave-dwelling courtyards. In the south is the Wang family's Thirteen Connected Courtyards, made up of 13 quadrangle courtyards, with courtyards nested within courtyards and caves linked to caves. In recent years, a cave dwelling art gallery and guesthouses have opened, and the village still receives few visitors. It is about 30 km from Qikou, and driving there is recommended.
