Chill this summer in Talpo Ancient Village! Let’s unlock the “One-Day Villager” experience together!

You once said that Shanxi is magical. From those ancient villages hidden in the fields Every time I walk past the rural fields The temples you come across by chance may be relics of the past. There are many cultural relics and a long history here But it is often ignored by the world Today I want to invite you to Talpo Ancient Village Start the "One-day Villager Experience" Welcome to the real life of the ancient village Unlock new roles in life! The morning in the ancient village is still filled with a strong historical atmosphere. Touching the dusty stone wall with your own hands, you can seem to feel the accumulation of time and the traces of years. As you walk into the small path of the ancient village, a faint scent of wheat hits your nose. The table was covered with white flour, and a craftsman was busy preparing ingredients. She will warmly invite you to sit down and hand you a piece of soft and white dough. This is the traditional folk custom of making flower-shaped steamed buns in southern Shanxi. Under the guidance of Auntie Huamo, why not start trying to make a flower bun! Gently run your hands over the dough and feel its toughness and warmth. Aunt Huamo tells you how to use force and how to shape your body. You might as well follow his example and knead the dough and shape it into the shape of a small animal. When the basic shape is completed, you can also add some colored dough to make it more vivid and cute. I believe that every experience you have can give you a new understanding of traditional culture, and the charm and uniqueness of traditional folk customs are also displayed therein. Then go to the tofu shop and make a cup of soy milk by yourself! The wooden handle under the millstone has been smoothed by countless hands. You hold the wooden handle and slowly turn it to the rhythm. The beans are ground with a slight clicking sound, and the soy milk drips along the edge of the stone mill. At that moment, you will definitely feel the simplicity and joy of labor. Taking a sip of fresh soy milk, it is sweet and warm, as if even the morning light is imbued with its taste. After a morning of experience, it’s time for lunch! When we arrived at the Talpo Water Banquet Courtyard, the table was already filled with delicious dishes. Each dish is carefully prepared, integrating the processes of steaming, boiling, stewing, stir-frying, blanching, frying, deep-frying and cooking, and includes the local specialties of Yunqiu Mountain. All the dishes here are authentic and every method is prepared to perfection. Sit in a circle with the villagers of Talpo, talking and laughing. Coming here is not just for a meal, but also for you to feel the warmth of "going home". As the sun sets, you can sit with a few aunties in the ancient village and make a small dessert by yourself - Yunqiu Mrs. Cake. Yunqiu Mrs. Cake is a unique afternoon tea snack in Yunqiu Mountain. We put the carefully selected fillings such as brown sugar, sesame, walnuts and peanuts into a bowl one by one and stir gently with a spoon. The sweetness of brown sugar, the fragrance of sesame, the crispness of walnuts and the mellowness of peanuts are intertwined together, exuding an intoxicating aroma. The baked Tai Tai Cake emits bursts of aroma, the crust gradually puffs up, and the mature Tai Tai Cake is golden and attractive. The taste makes people forget the passage of time. Who can resist eating a few more? If you listen carefully, you will hear the crisp sound of "ding ding ding" from time to time. Following the sound, I saw the village blacksmith busy by the fire. He was forging iron. I saw him put a red-hot iron block on the anvil and hit it repeatedly with a hammer, sparks flew and a crisp sound was made. Friend, have you ever been a blacksmith? Pick up a hammer and hit the iron block, then listen to the most beautiful music that comes from labor! After a day's experience, you can come to the Wedding Customs Square to take a break and wait for a unique Jinnan wedding customs performance to begin. The cheerful sound of gongs and drums, colorful wedding costumes, and actors holding various props walked out from the crowd. Some of them played the bride and groom, while others played the matchmaker. Everyone had a bright smile on their face, as if the entire mountain was infected by this lively and happy event. After the bustle, the ancient village returns to tranquility, but a new cycle is about to begin. Here, vitality is presented in its most natural way, allowing people to feel the passage of time and the beauty of life. This "one-day villager experience" is simple and real. Friends, we are waiting for you to participate and experience.
