Luliang Lijiashan Village | Beautiful ancient cave village.

|Beautiful ancient cave village. Lijiashan Village is dominated by cave dwellings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. These cave dwellings are cleverly built along the slope of about 70 degrees, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and are divided into eleven floors, forming a unique "three-dimensional village". This construction method not only demonstrates the wisdom of the ancients, but also reflects the unique soil structure of the Loess Plateau.

The roads in the village are flexibly laid out according to the topography, and are both loose and tight, achieving the artistic conception of "sparse enough to run a horse, but not dense enough to insert a needle", making the entire village both orderly and full of variety. There are various architectural forms in the village, including bridges, temples, houses, halls, halls, buildings, kilns, screen walls, etc., each showing a strong local flavor and exquisite craftsmanship.

Lijiashan Village has a long history and profound cultural heritage. According to records, during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the Li clan did business and settled here, and carried out large-scale construction of the village, forming its current scale. This is not only a famous historical and cultural village in China, but also attracts many famous people at home and abroad to come here to collect and create works.
