Liangjiahe Village
梁家河
A Shaanbei mountain village in Yanchuan County, with the former homes of sent-down youth, cave dwellings, and the remains of a biogas pit. It is a popular destination for red-tourism study trips, and the historic town of Wen'anyi is nearby.
Liangjiahe Village lies in Wen'anyi Town, Yanchuan County. In the 1960s and 1970s, sent-down youth from Beijing lived here as rural laborers. The village preserves their former cave-dwelling homes, the check dams and silt-trapping farmland they built, the remains of a biogas pit, and a village history museum that shows how rural Shaanbei has changed. At the entrance, the historic town of Wen'anyi is a reconstructed post-station street with Shaanbei folk traditions and food. Free visits require an ID card, and holidays are crowded, so arrive early. It is about an hour's drive from Yan'an city and can be combined with Qiankun Bay in a single day.
