Ming Village overnight, 2015/08
Report and photos from our August 2015 overnighter in the Ming Village.
We had a great weekend walking about in Mentougou District, staying overnight in the Cuandixia 'Ming' Village and exploring Dragon Gate Gorge.
In Cuandixia we stayed at an authentic, old guesthouse and enjoyed the hospitality of the locals.
On the first day of the trip we toured the village, getting interesting information and stories from a local guide who showed us the highlights of the area, including some rich men’s houses from the Ming Dynasty era. We also got in a bit of walking in the beautiful nature surrounding the village.
After a bonfire and a good sleep we settled in for the evening.
The next day we headed over to Dragon Gate Gorge, a scenic area in a massive canyon.
