Top 10 Villages to Visit in China - Historic Towns and Countryside (Travel Video)
Welcome to China’s villages and historic towns. Often touted for its ever changing city skylines, China’s countryside shows a very different side of the country. From beautiful riverside villages to snow covered mountain towns. From mysterious tulou (earthen buildings) to awe-inspiring rice terraces. Traveling rural China can be an eye-opening experience.
I spent more than 18 months in China, spread over the course of a decade and a half. In the last years, I started filming the places that I traveled to, using regular cameras and drones. All footage in this travel video is shot by myself between 2010 and 2019.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start off this journey in Yuanyang, a spectacular mountain region where you can find some of the world’s most jaw-dropping rice terraces. Staying with local families is a great way to explore the area, filled with breathtaking landscapes and friendly villages.
Xuexiang is located in the North of China, and is mostly known for its extreme Winter weather, with freezing temperatures and layers of snow. It’s a popular tourist attraction and beautiful sight. The ‘tulou’ buildings in Fujian province are the next destination. These structures were used by the local Hakka people as defense against rivaling communities and bandits. While many still function as homes, some are now used as restaurants and hotels for tourists.
Lijiang is one of China’s most beautiful historic towns, with classic architecture and narrow lanes that can be explored for days. Nearby Dali is worth a visit for its incredible Three Pagodas and Buddhist temple. We travel onwards to Xiahe, a tranquil town just outside Tibet proper. Join monks and pilgrims on traditional koras, and soke up Tibetan culture.
Yangshuo, on the banks of the Li River, might be one of China’s most famous villages, surrounded by mesmerizing limestone hills and mountains. It also provides a good insight into farming life in the country (you can rent bicycles and motorcycles for nice day trips). Shaoshan is a somewhat odd place. It’s the birthplace of Mao Zedong, regarded as the founder of the People’s Republic. The village is a popular stop on the ‘Red Tourism’ trail, a government propaganda campaign.
Fenghuang is a stunning ancient village in the same Hunan province, with incredible architecture, including stone bridges and towers, stilt houses, and a city wall. The next spot on my list is Zhujiajao a popular ‘water town’, not far from Shanghai.
We finish this tour in Pingyao, perhaps the best preserved walled town (or small city) in the country. It used to be an important center of trade and finance, and it’s fascinating to walk the quiet neighborhoods and intriguing alleyways.

Tai-an: China's Most Popular and Sacred Mountain
Sacred and stunningly beautiful - there’s a reason it’s the most visited mountain in China. But the most extraordinary thing about Tai Mountain isn't the ancient stone inscriptions at the top…
_____
Tai Mountain –known as the Mountain of the Gods. It’s one of the five most sacred mountains in China. It’s a deeply spiritual place… and very, very crowded.
China’s impressive economic growth has created a middle class with disposable income. Many of China’s 1.3 billion citizens are starting to explore their own country.
To accommodate all those visitors, the government has built a bus system to carry people to the top. And of course, there’s a cable car. But many still choose to climb the stairs – all 7100 of them. It’s 4-7 grueling hours – straight up. Even after all that effort, they’re still cheerful.
Some know exactly what they’re doing. Others may not have thought it completely through. Or chosen to be pretty over practical. Though it’s the parents who deserve a medal. And the older folks never stop.
The goal isn’t just to reach the top – it’s the lovely Chinese inscriptions carved into the mountainside. There are 100 of them in all. But not everyone is here just for the selfies. The monastery at the top is 800 years old. Many come to pray and give offerings. Or ask a Taoist soothsayer to tell your future.
Don’t forget to leave a lock behind - if you can find space. Or tie a red ribbon on a pole or tree. The Gods may grant your wish, especially if you leave a tip.
And of course you’ll want lunch! Tomatoes, corn, cucumbers - not your standard Western fare. No wonder the Chinese are so healthy.
And then it’s time to start back down. You can take a detour off the beaten track as long as you don’t get caught.

China Tourism - Ancient Fenghuang town
Ancient Fenghuang, a village in central China, used to be a frontier town, separating the Han civilization from the Miao and Dong minorities. It was an important regional center for trade and cultural exchange.
The riverside setting of the village, with its wooden stilt houses and narrow mysterious back alleys, makes it one of the most attractive places in the region.
These days, it has become a major tourist destination. While some traditions remain, much of the town has been set up to cater for the influx of new visitors, in some ways changing the face of the village beyond recognition.
Either way, Fenghuang provides an interesting glimpse of the many challenges and contrasts that exist in China today.
