Often praised as the “Village Hanging on the Cliff” and “Terraced Cloud Homes,” this ancient Huizhou-style settlement sits at an elevation of 500 meters on Shi’er Mountain, resembling a cliff-clinging Potala Palace, surrounded by ancient trees and sweeping terraced fields. After the tour, travel approximately 160 km (about 2.5–3 hours) to Wangxian Valley. Upon arrival, your guide will assist with hotel check-in. As dusk falls and lights illuminate the valley, the cliffside buildings glow softly, revealing a breathtaking scene reminiscent of a mythical Heavenly Palace descending from the clouds.
