The disappearing village ~ Yunnan's 'Potala Palace'

Luxi Chengzi Ancient Village Known as the most beautiful Yi village in Yunnan More than 1000 earth palm houses, built in the eighth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, are spread over The Feifeng Slope, which is more than 200 meters high, is too magnificent! They are connected to each other on the left and right, and the structure is very peculiar The village is the old site of the Zi Kingdom a thousand years ago, and you can still see the broken earth city wall. Retain the general's mansion, horse gang station, Shisifu and other relics Climbing to the top of the mountain to the Yunwei Temple, you can overlook the fields and rivers The whole village has completely preserved the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors-the community of earth palm houses, which is a dwelling with a good drainage system, warm in winter and cool in summer, and durable, built by the ancients combining local terrain and materials, using advanced technology and concepts. Walking among them, we can't help but sigh at the wisdom of our ancestors and the charm of Chinese architecture! Still retains the traditional way of life, raising chickens and growing vegetables, and being at peace with the world. Presumably, this is the real paradise...
