Hidden in the secret hiking trails of the canyon

Stepping into the ancient Yao village of Xianning is like walking into an old painting. Every stone and every leaf whispers stories of the ages. Neichong Yao Village is located at the southern end of Yaogu Mountain in Daping Township, Tongcheng County, Xianning City, Hubei Province. It is situated at the junction of four counties in two provinces: Chibi, Chongyang, Tongcheng, and Linxiang in Hunan. It is the birthplace of the Chinese Yao people and is known as the first ancient Yao village in China. The rippling Yao Pool, with its interwoven blue and green hues, is breathtakingly beautiful. The white-walled, black-tiled stone houses are scattered harmoniously among the mountains, creating a picturesque contrast with the green hills and clear waters. The red wall of General Li's Temple stands out strikingly amidst the greenery. In the medicinal valley of the Yao village, the scenic beauty of the mountains and waters is fully captured. Listening to the babbling brook and the chirping of birds, it feels like being in a poetic painting. Every step reveals a new scene, captivating the heart.
