Oandiou Ancient Village – The Hidden Gem of Cangnan

Nestled in Qiaodun Town, Shangnan County (Cangnan), Oandiou Ancient Village is a century-old village renowned for its traditional pottery craft, perched gracefully between mountains and rivers. Often called the “Emerald Village”—a village without a headman—Oandiou preserves the charm of old-world life.

The village retains intact ancient kilns and houses dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, offering a glimpse into centuries of craftsmanship and culture. Beyond its heritage, Oandiou is framed by stunning natural scenery: cascading waterfalls, murmuring streams, and rolling mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.

Time seems to pause here, allowing visitors to wander through quiet corners that radiate simplicity and serenity. Every alley, every rooftop, every ripple of water whispers stories of a tranquil life untouched by modern rush.
