Introducing Shuanghe Village

Shuanghe Village, located in Qinghua Town, Wuyuan County, retains the same layout as its Tang Dynasty streets. Yue Fei, upon visiting Wuyuan, once wrote in a poem: "The upper and lower streets stretch for five miles, and the green curtains and wine shops connect to the flower-filled bridges." Cycling along the bluestone pavement, passing ancient buildings and shops on both sides, it feels like walking into a well-preserved historical street. A wooden plank bridge still remains on the right side of the village entrance, connecting to the village opposite.
