Ancient village shines like a well-preserved gem in Yunnan

An ancient village established in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and located in Fu'an village of Jinning district in Kunming, capital city of Southwest China's Yunnan province, springs back to life during the spring season. The local government has carried out a plan to save old houses in cooperation with colleges and universities, aiming to promote traditional village protection and rural revitalization.

It takes less than one hour to arrive at Fu'an village driving from the urban area of Kunming. Nestling alongside the Dianchi Lake, one of Kunming's best known scenic spots, this ancient village looks tranquil and simple, with flowers and vegetables in greenhouses and rows of red brick buildings. The village exhibits exceptional beauty. Old trees and alleys, as well as ancient temples and wells all narrate its long history.
