Xiasi Ancient Town Walking Tour | Kaili City, Guizhou Province | 4K HDR | 贵州凯里 | 下司古镇
Hey, guys, Guizhou Province is one of the poorest province in China, but it's still a very beautiful place.
Hope you enjoy the videos of my Guizhou trip!
Xiasi Ancient Town is located in Majiang County , Qiandongnan Miao-Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province. Sitting on the bank of Qingjiang River, Xiasi Ancient Town is a well-protected water town with ancient jetty which was once an important stop on the Tea-Horse Ancient Road in ancient time
What to see?
Xiasi Ancient Town ,a home of Miao, Yaolao and She ethnic minorities, attrscts tourists because of its beautiful natural scenery, cultural & historic attractions. The major must-see places are Yangming Academy, Huangmu Museum, Ziku Pagoda, and Lusheng Square.
Houses and buildings in the ancient town were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911), which are preserved well with South China's architecture style. Walking around the town, you can enjoy the view of Qingjiang River that will make you have an amazing trip.
The beauty of the old town is simple but it is a pleasant experience. Stopping between the bridges on the riverside, thinking about the ancient times, sharing this relaxation with colleagues and friends, and adding a leisurely pleasure to the stressful work, is a wonderful enjoyment.
The old town of Xiasi was built on the Qingshui River. The old town was very old, and now it has been renovated by the government. It is a bridge. First, it is the huge archway of Xiasi ancient town, with four big words, Xiasi ancient town standing.
I love this village!! It’s an old port town with traditional wooden houses. The town is very peaceful and you actually get to enjoy the hospitality of Miao people. Somehow it seems that big tourist buses haven’t found this gem and despite some independent passbyers you get to have the town all for yourself. The blueberries are really sweet and juicy here and the food is really delicious. I love the noodles diet with blueberry juice.
The old town of Xiashi is known as small Shanghai, and is called the pearl on the Qingshui River, and is the town of red crane, zinc millet and world famous dog. Xiasi Ancient Town is a town adjacent to the water of Kaili City, Majiang County, the middle of July of the lunar calendar, people here follow the tradition of holding dragon boat competition, bullfighting, car flow, shoulder-car, lively and extraordinary. Historic sites include: Xiashi Kochin, ancient pier, street and lane, Miao hanging tower, Xiatong and Zhuangyuan Di, the site of the king of the king, Kannon Kaku and bunsho Kaku, and the hometown of Zhang Xianpei, a strong man of Yuan Shikai, who was bombed by the domain.
Xiasi Ancient Town, which is known for the scenery of the mountains, rivers, and gorges, lies at the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, between Majiang County and Kaili city in Guizhou.
The culture of the Miao, Mulao, She and Han ethnic groups is reflected in the town's history and architecture, such as the Dong-style Drum Tower and Miao-style Stilt House. Most of the buildings along the streets feature the Miao-style wooden structure and some of them have the brick-and-corbie-step structure of Hui style. The brick buildings on the riverside, the clear lakes and green mountains make for a beautiful landscape painting.

2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Recipient - Madinat al Zahra Museum
Location: Cordoba, Spain (Europe)
Architect: Sobejano Architects S.L.P, Fuensanta Nieto & Enrique Sobejano
Client: Junta de Andalucia, Consejeria de Cultura
Completed: 2008
Design: 2001-2003
Site size: 9'125 m²
The tenth-century palace city of Madinat al-Zahra, a recipient of the 2010 Award for Architecture, is widely considered to be one of the most significant early Islamic archaeological sites in the world, and the most extensive in Western Europe. Excavations at the site are still ongoing. The museum was conceived as a place to interpret the site and display the archaeological findings, as well as to serve as a training and research centre and the headquarters of the archaeological team. A refined and subtle design by the architectural firm Nieto Sobejano, the museum complex blends seamlessly into the site and the surrounding farmland - a series of rectangles composed of walls, patios and plantings which, taken together, seem more like a landscape than a building. The architects took the ground plans of three excavated buildings as a starting point, as though the museum had been waiting to be revealed from the ground. Visitors are guided through a sequence of covered spaces and voids. The main public functions are arranged in a cloister around a broad patio, a form found at the archaeological site and in the old town of Cordoba. Two more courtyards define the research centre and the external exhibition area respectively. A restricted pallet of materials and simple details, with walls of poured concrete, interior walls clad in iroko wood, and limestone paving for the courtyards, are intended to evoke the rough retaining walls and temporary structures of an archaeological site.

2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Shortlist - Palmyra House, India
One of the 19 nominees for the 11th Cycle of The Aga Khan Award for Architecture
Location: Alibagh, India (South Asia)
Architect: Studio Mumbai Architects, Bijoy Jain
Client: Jamshyd Sethna
Completed: 2007
Design: 2005-2006
Site size: 277 m²
This two-storey timber house, built as a weekend retreat, lies in the shade of an extensive coconut grove on coastal agricultural land facing the sea, near the fishing village of Nandgaon, south of Mumbai. The functions of the house are placed within two oblong masses slightly offset from one another, whose facades are predominantly characterised by louvers made from the trunks of the local Palmyra palm. The structure is made of ain wood; local basalt was used to make boundary walls, plinths and paving. Plaster finishes were pigmented with sand from the site. The development of the design and detail, which resulted from collaboration between the architect and the craftsmen, took on tested techniques, both local and foreign, and raised them to a finer construction resolution. The house is well-adapted to its environment: the louvers on the elevations enable passive cooling, as does the extensive shade provided by the coconut trees above; water for the house is harvested from three on-site wells, filtered and stored at the top of a water tower and fed by gravity to the house. The result of these measures is a quietly compelling project that is fully integrated into its landscape.

2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Shortlist - Conservation of Gjirokastra, Albania
One of the 19 nominees of the 11th Cycle of The Aga Khan Award for Architecture
Location: Gjirokastra, Albania (South-East Europe)
Architect: Gjirokastra Conservation and Development Organisation, technical team
Client: Gjirokastra Conservation and Development Organisation
Completed: 2002 ongoing
Design: 2001 ongoing
Site size: 780'000 m²
The town of Gjirokastra in southern Albania is a well-preserved example of an Ottoman Balkan town, distinguished by its residential architecture but also notable for what is absent: unusually for an Ottoman town, it has only one minaret—the rest having been destroyed during the communist era. Declared a 'museum city' in 1960, Gjirokastra's architectural heritage was preserved and maintained well by its Institute of Monuments for several decades. With the collapse of the regime and the economy in 1992, however, the town's institutional structure disintegrated and skilled workers and craftsmen emigrated to Greece and elsewhere.
The Gjirokastra Conservation and Development Organisation has, for the better part of the last decade, attempted to reverse the decline of Gjirokastra's built heritage through a grassroots programme that emphasises the development potential of conservation: Preservation projects are designed with a focus on adaptive reuse and sustainability, integrating training, business development and community outreach. Its many projects to date include the restoration and reuse of the castle of Gjirokastra; the rehabilitation of the bazaar; the restoration of cobblestone streets and creation of pedestrian walkways in the old town; and the preservation of several significant buildings.
